What About Wednesday?

April 29, 2009
File under: Behind the Aesthetic, What About Wednesday?

Once a week I ask the same bleary-eyed question: “What about Wednesday?” It’s my day to post whatever the hell I feel like, with no regard to fashion, eco-consciousness or, occasionally, even coherent thoughts.

I’ve had this week full of dichotomies.  Horrible day at work; great evening with the boyfriend.  Slow shipments of my newly purchased items; sudden wins in giveaways and contests (of which I’m having one, but how could you not know that by now?).  Sometimes it’s hard to be optimistic when my days are full of such extremes!

One thing I wanted to do today was write up a little re-cap of all of the deals I’ve posted about that are still going on.  Since I’m still a little butt-hurt about my week, I thought this would be a good post to do it in!

The Giveaways & Discount Codes
I’ve Posted in the Past Week…& Others I Missed:

  • My site is hosting a giveaway of art by Christina Entcheva.  If you haven’t entered, you’re kind of crazy.
  • bgreen apparel gave Awakened Aesthetic readers a 20% off coupon to use through May 22.
  • Guess who is still hosting a great deal (half off and more!) on 100% organic cotton designs by SPUN?  TheGreenLoop.com is.  I just got a second cowl neck top and boatneck shirt from SPUN and, in the process, realized that I talk about them too much.
  • Some of my favorite Etsy sellers are having sales, too: soule discounted their modern cups and saucers (I love the dandelions); unconventional ida has hand-illustrated moleskines (journals) on the cheap; and wiyomu and MK Wind are both offering free shipping on all of their earings.
  • If you’re having a sale, or know of one you think I should mention, please let me know!

One other thing: I’m really proud of the work that Miss Elle, Birdie and I have put into The Demoiselles in the past couple of weeks, and would love it if you’d head over there and let us know what you think of our most recent posts.  (And for those of you that love picture posts, both of our latest pieces have them – see Accentuate the Positive and First Flight: 80%20 Covered Wedges.)

    This is such a great idea for a post mid-way through a less than ideal week. I love your, “What About Wednesday?” idea. Its perfect for super directed blogs (i.e. my girl’s guide to seattle) because it still allows some self-expression without throwing off your readers. kudos to you, lovely!

    I personally don’t think you talk about SPUN too much at all! ;)
