    I’ve followed Natalie’s work for a while and just love it. I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but she can make the most unappealing, useless stuff (to me) look beautiful and make me feel like I need it. That’s why she’s successful. :)

    Oh, and I just love the notebooks here: http://www.olivemannashop.com/product/notebooks-sale

  37. Fantastic giveaway! I would buy some wire baskets, twill tape & pennant stickers. I could definitely use more fun stickers in my life!

  38. I love OliveManna’s masking tape and new industrial clip stands! Yay!

  39. I love love Olive Manna – am a big fan of Natalie Jost and her beautiful aesthetic. My fav is the Vintage Desk Accessories! swoon!
    Fab idea for your lovely site’s namesake month Jo!

  40. Jess:

    The weather worn gym baskets—or any of the wire baskets! I got two of my own at an estate auction, but would love more!

  41. Wow – what an amazing store. I love the zinc cabinet, it’s not within my price range but a girl can dream. I love it that Olive Manna has so many great things at different price points, love the leafy garlands as well.

  42. Carolyn:

    How can you have just one favorite?! Glassine bags, pennant stickers, twine, cloth bags, kraft masking tape – I love it all and more!

  43. What a lovely shop! I’m crazy about the vintage cloches.

  44. Anita:

    I love Olive Manna. I use the glassine envelopes and cloth ribbon to package the photographs I make. I would love the milk glass vases. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  45. um how did i not know about this shop?! i love everything! i think my absolute favorites are the kraft paper masking tape (imagine the possibilities!) and the newsprint bags. whether i win or not they will be mine :)

  46. Jo:

    LOVE LOVE the wire baskets!

  47. Kira:

    Chancing upon items found at olive manna is like taking a shopping bag to grandma’s house. You will find the vintage tools that grandpa would use to make tables & fix your bicycle. Grandma’s cookie tins, & long discarded wire baskets. The reflect all the goodness, charm & safety of family, of the past, of the good days. I really enjoyed looking through their website, thank you for this find.

  48. I hadn’t ever heard of this shop before, but I am smitten. I think the Divine Twine Mini Set has to be the most tempting to me!

  49. I love the Divine Twine w/Wire Bin and twist ties! So colorful.

  50. Oh, man. What a tough choice – there are so many amazing items! I especially love the natural look so many of the products have – from the hand dyed nature to the Kraft labels, it’s all so beautiful! I’m always a sucker for the baker’s twine, so any of those bundles would be coming home with me. But that hand-crocheted basket is so lovely, too…hmmm…

  51. Cristina V.:

    I love all her shop goodies <3 I can't get enough of dyed clothespins and divine twine in all colours !

  52. Ellen:

    I had never seen this site before, it`s great. I love the kitchen tins!

  53. The wire garlands are just lovely!

  54. Henria O.:

    Wow…so much to pick from! However, I simple adore the Vintage Cloches and the Love fabric! Thanks for this lovely giveaway!

  55. Ashley E:

    Wow, I feel relaxed just looking over the site! Beautiful photography, not to mention all that is actually being sold. Love the doilies & notebooks & stamps. Also love the story of the name “Olive Manna.”

  56. the floral quilted throw is beautiful. what a lovely store. thanks for letting me know about it.

  57. Kara:

    How fun is your blog?! Found you via Craft, and am so pleased to add you to my must reads. As for Olive Manna, holy mackerel…what don’t I love? I do have a mild obsesion with wire, so the utensil caddy holds particular sway, but the various twill and fabric tapes are calling to me as well. Thanks and cheers…

  58. I love the Floral Quilted Throw :) So lovely!

  59. It’s tricky! If I had the extra $109 I would buy the ‘Complete Set of Divine Twine w/Wire Bin’, but instead, it would have to be: ‘Wood Spool Stand w/ Twine & Scissors’ along with some ‘Clothespin Magnets’ and various rolls of ‘Coloured Masking Tape’ and some ‘Divine Twine.’ Gosh – what alot!
    Or of course, I could scrap all that and get the ‘Floral Quilted Throw’ – decisions decisions!!

  60. Erin:

    My favourite item is the gorgeous kitchen tins!! I love how this shop has so many unique pieces!

  61. I LOVE Olive Manna and the store is full of faves for me, but today my favourite is the simple wooden button Magnets! So cute!

  62. Rowena:

    I love the premium baker’s twine. I’ve used it on so many projects and it adds just the right touch!

  63. Julie:

    Okay, I absolutely ADORE the mini clothespins. They are just too cute and perfect for my polaroids–I always say I’m going to buy those clothespins and hang up my pics but I sadly never got around to it.

    A $100 gift certificate would be perfect though. I, unfortunately, did not get any presents this year for my birthday, which just passed,…not that I’m holding this against my family. Not at all. :)

  64. ikkinlala:

    I love the wood buttons – so simple and versatile.

  65. Lyudmila:

    I like the HAND-DYED COTTON TWINE

  66. Katherine A:

    I just love the Kitchen Tins in the storage section

  67. I love giving old mason jars with wild flowers for party host gifts. I’m sure everyone of my friends would find the Classic Blue Ball Jars a pure delight!

  68. Lynn:

    well i’m such a bag lady that their glassine & newsprint ones caught my eye immediately!!! what a fab giveaway Jo, thanks for the chance. especially stoked it’s an international thumbs up : )

    What a beautiful site full of gorgeous items. Too many faves but I love the stamped twill ribbon, so unique and special
