Giveaway {Mignonne Handmade}

This week, I'm more than thrilled to welcome Jenn of 'Mignonne Handmade'... I think it's best to let Jenn describe her work in her own words: "Darling pieces hand made for you with love for a special day or everyday... Each flower is handmade by yours truly, hand cut, pressed with a vintage milliners iron and hand sewn together. I love to use lots of interesting bits of vintage this and that to add whimsy and magic, some of the vintage items used have been handpicked by me in the flea markets of France. I incorporate my own aesthetic when creating these flowers and as a result they are not "perfect" factory made looking pieces, they are all individual and have their own character and quirks, hope you like them too!"

Jenn has graciously offered $20 in store credit for her lovely shop! I know you'll enjoy the shop as much as I did... Aren't the photographs simply stunning? Head down the page, below Jenn's interview, to find out how to enter this beautiful giveaway!

Jenn has taken the time to answer a few questions:
What does a perfectly ordinary day in your life look like?
"I wake up and make breakfast for my daughter and I bike her to school (her preschool is right down the street) and come home and work on orders for Mignonne handmade, later I'll pick up my daughter and come home and cook dinner, my family is mostly Vegan so we cook at home a lot, then I enjoy dinner with my family."

What time of year most inspires you?
"I live in Phoenix so we only have two seasons- super hot and warm, but when I lived in Philadelphia and Seattle I have to say fall and spring were the most inspiring times of year for me."

What do you think of as comfort food? 
"I'm Filipino, German and English so my comfort food can vary from peanut oxtail stew prepared vegetarian style) with fermented shrimp paste to traditional American Thanksgiving type foods."

If you could hop on a plane, without giving one thought to your budget, where would you go?
"FRANCE!! My husband and I went to Provence this spring and we are determined to someday live there!"

What are five things you would like to do in the next five years?
"Work on all the millions of projects I stash in my head, travel more, learn French, take a road trip up the coast of CA with my family, rehab an old airstream and make it into a guesthouse in my backyard."
