Hello AMAZING friends!!! Today, I am SO excited to be hosting an incredible GIVEAWAY!!
But first, I wanted to share what I kept from the group of smalls I shared on Tuesday! Many of you know me well!
Many of you guessed the pitcher and that was a no-brainer. It is so pretty!
But I also kept an item I redid. I got lots of votes for the horse, but I do already have a small rocking horse.
So, the item I kept was….drumroll…
The wire basket!!
Yes, I loved it with the shells and did not want to part with it!
But, I ended up keeping another item that I originally hadn’t planned on keeping.
I also kept this white basket:
I loved the shape of it and it will make for a great prop as y’all know I love to throw baskets into many of my photos!
Thanks for playing along!! I will have another round of smalls to share on Tuesday!
Ok, onto the giveaway!
When COVID hit full force and businesses across the country were forced to shut their doors, online sales skyrocketed. My orders usually ship directly from the Dixie Belle warehouse. Although I do sell their entire line in my booth, I couldn’t possibly stock enough inventory to fill every order that comes my way by myself. That would be very expensive!
Because Dixie Belle was suddenly flooded with online sales, processing was significantly delayed, as was the case with just about every online retailer! If you have received your order quickly over the past few months, that is because I was able to fill it from my own inventory. I have filled hundreds of orders myself over the last few months, and it has kept me very busy, but like I mentioned, I do not carry enough inventory to fill everyone’s orders myself.
Even though many of you had to wait way longer than usual, you were amazingly patient and kind about it (mostly lol), and I am SO grateful!!
Dixie Belle is finally caught up and back to processing in three business days or less!! Can I get a WOOHOO, AMEN, THANK GOODNESS?!!
So to celebrate, I am having a huge giveaway!!!
That’s right, there will be THREE winners this time, each winning $100 in credit in my Etsy shop, so you can choose the Dixie Belle products YOU want to try!! (**This giveaway is not sponsored by Dixie Belle in any way. I am providing this giveaway from own pocket.**)

Then THREE winners will be chosen randomly and notified via email. They will have 48 hours to respond before a new winner will be chosen. You must be 18 years or older to participate. Void where prohibited. Good luck!! 😀
If you visit my Etsy shop as one of the Rafflecopter tasks and decide to make a purchase while you’re there, don’t forget you get FREE SHIPPING on any order over $50, NO CODE necessary! All orders under $50 still get $8 flat rate shipping!

What a fantastic giveaway! Just in time to celebrate 5000 sales in your Etsy shop!! What is Scrubby Soap? Interesting! Have a great day!
Christy says
This is a great giveaway and I am so happy to do it for my amazingly supportive blog family!! The Scrubby soap is awesome! It is a textured sponge in soap, so it is fantastic for getting all that paint off your fingers, and all three citrus scents smell incredible! Good luck on the giveaway!! XOXO
Sandra says
Is the spray tent you use sturdy and does it store easily? I’m thinking about one fir my daughter.
Christy says
Hi Sandra! The tent is tall, so it will blow over if you have high winds, but I just stick a 2X4 inside to keep it anchored if it’s windy out. It stores to a small flat circle. 🙂

Sue says
Hi Christy, I love what you do!! I am a “retired” vintage shop owner, restorer and collector. While recovering from throat cancer surgery, I came across your blog. Thank goodness! It makes me smile on my worst days! I am slowly getting to the point that I can do makeovers again. I am older and don’t do much on Facebook or Instagram. Please continue to make everything available through your blog and Pinterest! Thanks so much for what you do! Stay well!!
Christy says
Thank you so much, Sue!! I am so glad you found me and that I can play a small part in making you smile. Thank you for sharing that! I will definitely continue to share here on the blog. Here’s to getting back to creating and prayers for healing and wellness! XOXO
susan says
What a wonderful giveaway! So glad Dixie Belle is up and running full steam again. I’m in need of supplies! Thanks for the repost about the wood bowls. I’ve got one I. The garage and lots of shells!
Christy says
I am SO glad too!! They have been working like mad to get caught up, so I know they are feeling relieved also! I’m glad you enjoyed the bowls post…I kept both of them ha ha! Good luck on the giveaway!! XOXO
Cecilia says
Lol, I almost said the basket. The blue ne surprised me though because you said you didn’t like it much before you painted it. 😊 I was pretty sure you didn’t keep the rocking horse but it’s still my favorite. I love how paint transforms things. And thank you for the chances to win! I’m dying to try out Dixie Belle products. I’m eyeing my kitchen chairs for that makeover. My husband is cringing, lol.
Have a great week!
Christy says
Ha ha…I didn’t really like it at all before, but the paint just made it sing for me! Thank you so much and you are welcome! I’d love for you to get the chance to try out DB products…they are fantastic! Uh-oh…I will warn you that it will start with those chairs, but it is very addicting!! XOXO
Becky says
WOW!!! SO cool! Hey, I’m one of your happy customers who got their order fast… so thanks for shipping it yourself! I can’t wait to try my Gator Hide… today, I hope!
Thanks for this incredible giveaway!
Christy says
Oh yay! I’m so glad you were able to get your order quickly!! Good luck on the giveaway!! XOXO
Bette Hiltz says
I love the wire basket, too.
Christy says
Yes, that was a keeper!! XOXO
Cheryl Atkinson says
I loved the wire basket also. Thank you for a chance to win $100 from Dixie Belle. Love me some Dixie Belle.
Christy says
Yes, funny though because I didn’t like it before I painted it…the power of paint! You are so welcome…Dixie Belle is awesome! Good luck, my friend! XOXO
Jackie C says
Great choices on the smalls you kept. I had a white pitcher very similar (it had a big bowl it sat in, you remember those). When I retired and downsized to a small home, I got rid of it, along with TONS of other things. Even though I have no room for it, I still miss it! Thank you for the great giveaway! Whoop!
Christy says
Thanks, Jackie! Yes!! I do remember those…back in the 80’s, everyone had those reproduction washstands with the bowl and pitcher set too. I have another similar pitcher that had the bowl with it at the thrift store, but they were priced separately, so I just bought the pitcher. They are great as a vase. You are so welcome for the giveaway…wish you much luck, my friend! XOXO
Julie Ritter says
I have a question. how much paint did it take you to complete the Caviar dresser that you recently did? thanks Julie
Christy says
Hi Julie! It was quite a large piece. I used a little more than half of a 32 oz sized container.
Ellen Shook says
I am loving my products I got in my order a while back. We used the wood filler and the Cotton paint on a couple of things we are doing right now in the kitchen. I can’t see the rafflecopter thing on your blog.
Christy says
Oh good! I’m so glad to hear they are working out well for you, Ellen! I certainly appreciate your business! There should be a rectangular box that says “Enter the Giveaway” in my post. Let me know if you don’t see it! XOXO
Nancy V says

Nicole Reed says
I just started using dixie bell because of you and WOW what a difference!! I am absolutely in love with this paint. You have been my inspiration to give furniture a try and I am excited to visit your shop in person one day soon. I am in the Williamsburg area and was so happy to find out you were a short drive away! I would love to enter the giveaway, unfortunately the link did not work when I clicked it and as since disappeared altogether 😔.
Christy says
Oh I love that, Nicole! Once you get started painting, it is quite addicting lol! You aren’t too far away at all and our mall has regular business hours again: M-F 10-6 , Sat 10-5, and Sun 12-5. I hope you get the chance to visit! See if you are able to access the Rafflecopter again this morning…maybe try another we browser? XOXO
Karen L McGee says
Could not find where to sign in for raffle, I want to wish all a very much good luck.
I have not tried this brand of paint but look forward to later on.
Thank you Christy fir this blog.
Karen
P.S. I did get me a paint hut. Love it….
Christy says
Oh no! Look for a rectangular box that says “Enter the Giveaway” It is powered by Rafflecopter. Then click on it. You will love Dixie Belle…goes on like a dream! Thank you so much! And I’m so glad you love your paint hut…it is so simple to set up and saves a big mess! XOXO
FREIDIA says
I knew it was the basket!
Have a Wonderful Weekend!
Christy says
Ha ha! You know me well, Freidia! Thank you…you too! XOXO
Marcie Lovett says
I would have guessed the blue basket, but you kind of dissed it 😉, even though I thought it looked fabulous. I did guess the #1 basket, it looks like your style!
Christy says
Ha ha I had to throw ya’ll off, but really, I did not like it very much to start, but it was cheap! I think that is why I liked it so much after…I was surprised at how cute it turned out! And yep, I could not let go of the white basket. Many chose the wire one, but only a couple guessed the white one so great job, my friend! You know I’m a sucker for baskets!! XOXO
Kim says
I love the basket. It is SO you. I have a similar basket except much bigger. I didn’t want to just paint it white but didn’t know what to do with it. Now I do. I’m going to be a copy cat. (I’ve never been one before. 🤣) Thanks for the inspiration.
Hope you guys are okay with the bad weather coming. I used to live in Hampton and Gloucester. I don’t miss waiting for hurricanes. Now, in Georgia, we wait on tornadoes. Sheesh!
Christy says
Thank you, Kim! Sometimes all something needs is a simple coat of white and it does wonders! Copy away!! And yes, this storm came up mighty fast! looks like it is heading our way…too early for hurricanes! Take care! XOXO
Kim says
Christy, in one of the other posts you were discussing a paint hut. Could you give me some info on it, please. Thank you.
Christy says
Hi Kim! I used this one in that post: https://amzn.to/32ZN8lC It’s around $40 on Amazon and it is fantastic! They also make a smaller version, and they make a large tent also that is more for larger furniture pieces. 🙂
Kim says
Thank you so much for the information Christy.
Christy says
You’re welcome! 🙂
Brigitte says
This is great – thank you! I just found a Dixie Belle retailer in Toronto, so it’s nice to know I can buy the paint here too! They even have all the waxes, sealers and brushes.
Christy says
You are so welcome, Brigitte! And yay!! XOXO
Victoria Munoz says
I love the creativity in each transformation! Thanks for being so generous, too! I hope I win! 🙂
Christy says
Thank you, Victoria! It is my pleasure! Good luck to you! XOXO
AJ says
What a nice giveaway- thank you! I love it when you redo the smalls! Gives me inspiration for all the smalls I seem to collect. The olive tree transformation was amazing – just goes to prove you can transform anything.
Christy says
Thank you, AJ! I was surprised at what small changes did for that little tree too! Good luck on the giveaway! XOXO
Julie Briones says
Look at all these comments! I wanna know… how well does the scrubby soap really work? Like will it take primer off your hands? 😉
Christy says
I love the scrubby soap! I haven’t used it to get off primer as I usually where gloves to protect my nails, so I can’t speak for that, but I like it for getting the paint off easily, and it smells like heaven! My fave is the lime! XOXO
Jewels says
My favorite is the basket. I love the dry brush look!
Christy says
Thanks, Jewels! Funny how that small amount of paint totally changed the look! XOXO
Carol Flynn says
Were the Dixie Bell winners chosen? Thanks!!
Christy says
Good morning, Carol! There were! And everyone has responded back. I’ll announce the winners on Tuesday! 🙂
