I think I mentioned another black and white giveaway a couple of weeks ago and then I forgot. When you are old like me shit like that happens about a 100 times a day. It sucks.
But...before I get to that I have a little rant to go on.
Drive through Banking. Are you kidding me right now. "Hi, my name is "Teller Person" and I will be serving you today".
Huh?
Me: How about you put money in the drawer and give it to me?
"What service can I perform for you?".
Huh again.
Me: I'm sorry is this a drive through restaurant? What is with the chit chat. I am here to make a deposit and you will figure that out when you shut up and open that dang drawer. You are not my hairdresser...we will not be friends. Open the drawer. I'm on the phone.....or plucking my eyebrows....or looking in the mirror and holding up my face on one side to see how I would look if I had a face lift.... I don't have time for full on conversation.
"You are a preferred customer and it has been a pleasure to serve you today".
Me: You dang right buster.....you prefer customers with money as opposed to someone who leaves a pile of leaves in the drawer?
A "Good Morning"....and "Thank You" will be sufficient.
Pet peeve. Sorry.
Giveaway.....
.....more black and white.
Breaking it down.
Candlesticks from West Elm. Black and white chalk. Mustache. Not a real one but an exact replica :)
Another shot of the candlesticks.
West Elm hand towels. Small owl pitcher. Flash cards and measuring tape.
Black and white planter. 20" zebra pillow cover. Nice candle.
This was in the show house this year...
See.
These smell good.
Hit the "join this site" button...since my follow button doesn't work. Not sure why but figuring it out is above my pay grade.
Winner soon...probably....Friday or Monday.
More Scott's......
Harass Tuesday......till it goes away and becomes someone important like Wednesday.
Cause Wednesday has clout. Hump Day.
Shazam......

duh i am a follower. love you and your blog. AND i am hoping to get into your class at haven. and sit in the front row and ask a billion questions. :)
OMG! LOVE starting my day with you! I will take the visual of you at the drive up window with me all day. Black & white speaks to me...!
I thought I "joined" your site months ago, apparently not but I just did.
My bank has an up close and awful angled camera in your face and it switches back and forth between you and the teller. I don't even hear what they are saying because I am generally appalled at the view up my nose.
Man they always get you at the drive through! What an insane giveaway!!! Everything is SO up my alley - big time over of all things black and white. Definitely a follower!
Happy follower! Those West Elm towels would look great in my bathroom, along with everything else.
Did the teller seriously say "preform"? Cuz your story is funny, but grammar stuff like that just makes it even funnier to me. I can't help it. Grammar just kills me. Not sure why though, cause mine definitely isn't perfect, but...
Of course I follow and would love to win your giveaway :)
love black and white...love your blog...am a follower...love a chance to win
Cute giveaway!
You do the coolest giveaways! Such fun stuff!

Steve loves to go into the bank.I know he's crazy, has to park, get out of the car and walk. But.....he gets his lollypop!

i go inside the bank. i am not comfortable with machines, and the tube shooting through space thing qualifies as machinery.

Love, love, love this give away. Black and and white is the best! As is your site! Read it everyday!
Formally a follower. Love your blog and your awesome giveaways!
My pet peeve at the bank drive up is when they don't send a pen! Why wouldn't they send a pen??
Thanks for the chance to win this awesome gift!

YAY! I'm a follower. Joiner? It's worth the win for the west elm towel, I LOVE those suckers!! Where will I put my mustache? Somewhere people will snicker, but I'll be laughing at them, not with them. Some people have no taste at all, amirite?
I am a follower! Love the bank story - I feel the same way!
Great giveaway!
you're the best. You are the only blogger I know who can get away with this--I love that you don't apologize for things like forgetting a giveaway. When people apologize over and over about their bad pictures or whatever, makes me crazy. You are so right: it is all above our paygrade! Make it work!
(Oh, and I am a follower and would love to win this stash. And 'stache. Ha!)
I'm a follower of your blog via Google reader, but also joined via GFC. I love this giveaway!
Love it all!
What a lovely and generous give away. I follow your blog and so enjoy your posts...
Of course I am a follower, and I love all of this black and white!! Gorg!
My Fave color combo!!!
Black and white - Yummy! The planter is perfect for my black and white garden room outside!! Love your blog and sense of humor.

HATE THE DRIVE UP AT THE BANK!!! I always
do a night deposit so I can avoid the teller! Black
and white is so crisp and makes everything look
nice. Keep up the good posts! They make my day!
Already a stalker....I need to win so I can pack all that pretty b&w sh*t up and take it to the UK....ha
Sherry - "Longtime Follower, first time contest enterer!"
What a spiffy black and white summer "pick me" up prize. (pick me, pick me, pick me)
Cheers!
I with you - just do your job and let me leave! Ummm, I am a follower.

Best giveaways ever. Drive-thru banking has got a little strange - and ours has a video monitor too which I thought was even weirder. I don't need a close-up of you or me to do this transaction buddy. I'd love to win this one for that planter alone.
I just read Cassie's comment - you're doing a workshop at Haven??!! Oh man, I knew I should have signed up.
Honey....I will follow you to the ends of the cotton picking earth.
Truly.
And that giveaway is scrumpdillyiscious~ I have a place for every single thing....
Fingers and toes...and lots of other loose parts crossed.
Great give away. Everyone needs a little animal print in there home.
Oh I NEED to win this... I really need the moustache :( )
ME! ME!! PICK MEEEE!!!!!!!!
I love everything you do!
Sherri
would love to win!
I want to win this BAD! Rolling on the floor laughing about your pet peeve - now add to that my 2 kids in the back seat - not cool. Cut the chit chat is right! Excited to meet you next week! I'm planning to mow people down to get to your class . ;)
Love the black & white! That "stache" takes me back to my Tom Selleck crush!
I love that this blog is comic relief and interior design all rolled into once! Thank you for this giveaway chance! I subscribe via email, does that count? :)
Great giveaway. I love black and white. I also love your sense of humor.
Best...Victoria
I am right with you on the bank thing. I got a verbal spanking from a snippy little teller when I tried to cash a check with only my husbands name on it. Oh shame on me! She asked if he was in the car?? Duh - she could look and see he was not in the car!!
Great giveaway - but i already follow you - would not miss your humor for anything!
Agree with your "rant"! Well-said!
I am a follower because you absolutely start my day with a laugh plus I adore you creativity. Great black and white treasures.
You are hysterical/crazy which usually makes a good designer :) Great giveaway...I am already a follower!

Great giveaway Shazam! Always look forward to reading your posts.
I was thinking the exact same thing! The teller was overly nice and game me a lollipop!?! Maybe the bankers are trying to change my perception of them...it's not working. Great give away!
Your blog makes me laugh out loud and the people around me wonder wtf i'm laughing at, glad to see this stuff just doesn't happen to me! Great giveaway! Thanks!
Seriously AH-MAZING giveaway!!! Love following your blog and reading your hilarious stories.
Amazing giveaway! I'm your newest follower.

You are a scream and have provided me with many a laugh out loud moment! Thanks for that! Oh, and I'd love to win this giveaway - crossing fingers!

tell your teller you really mustache...hahaha...off to send me that giveaway even though I already have that owl pitcher...I could use another one.
You should have been to the drive through with me yesterday at Starbucks. I had no idea a thank you could be said in a pitch that hi and cheery
it would have really got your goat
I'm already a follower! I love those candlesticks! :)
I joined! LOVE your blog!!! sooo agree with the banking...
Loving this whole goodie basket!!
I follow you on Google Reader, but I wish I could sign up for a daily feed. The giveaway is awesome.
RE: tellers, I can't stand small talk so I hate it! "Have we told you about X promotion, how is your day going, do you need an envelope, blah blah." ;-)
Ahhhh are you kidding me?! Another chance to win awesome black & white stuff??? And you have in there the hand towels I've been wanting from West Elm!! I sooo hope I win!
I was already following you on my Google Reader... but I've joined now too. Oh my goodness do I ever love this giveaway. Would a huge "pretty please" help my chances at all? ;)
at least you don't pop zits in the drive through! LOL
Sorry, I was laughing to hard, you know the tears in the eyes sort of laugh, and probably missed the part about entering for this giveaway, but hope a comment fill that requirement. If not, glad to have stopped by. Oh, yeah, I'll follow you too.
Tired of my b&w sh@t ...so don't want to win yours..love your blog you talented gal !! :-)
Did you make that mustache print or buy it..?! I would love to know..it's so cool:)megham14@yahoo.com
