This weekend Roomorama are giving away 100 pounds of Roomorama credit for a stay anywhere in the world!
If you’re visiting London, for example, stay in this adorable room in stylish Shoreditch or search Roomorama for a selection of properties to find one that’s just your style. You don’t have to be an existing member of Roomorama, and there is no expiration date for the vouchers.

Roomorama is about living local and savouring the little things that make a city special. Forget the cookie-cutter hotels, and instead live it up in a historic London townhouse, an artsy New York loft, a gorgeous Cape Town beach pad, or a luxurious Balinese villa. Pick from 20,000 properties in 320 destinations worldwide, and have a peace of mind with Roomorama’s secure payment system and impeccable customer service. Best of all, insider-digs and discounts, and access to cool events, are all part of the deal. Happy travels!

Congratulations to Tracey – her name came out of the hat for all the entries in the latest giveaway and she wins a place for herself and one for a friend in Explore, the new class. If you’re still considering Explore, you can sign up at any time, but please know I don’t have future plans to run it again live. I prefer to offer new classes and only repeat the two seasonal classes each year – it’s most fun that way! So if you want the live experience, go ahead and join us!

And a little heads up: this week will be a bit different around here! I’ll be reporting from CHA – the trade show where manufacturers of scrapbooking and other craft supplies release all their new collections for the next six months. So stay tuned for plenty of show photos and I’ll keep my eye out for what new things look like must-haves. But then there’s some other very cool stuff in the mix:
…a special giveaway from Jenni Bowlin Studio on Tuesday,
…a very different type of giveaway from Friday, and
…a special offer at Two Peas in a Bucket just for shimelle.com readers on Wednesday!
If you want to partake in that extra discount, you can start shopping now and have your bucket at the ready! But it’s only on Wednesday, so don’t miss out. You can check out their huge summer sale here.

So… with only a few hours left until the floor opens at the show, are there any companies you’re excited to see? Tell me which booth you would want me to check out first!

This weekend, one commenter will win a gorgeous flower cabochon ring (in a colour from the available choice) from Josephines jewellery.
I asked Josephine to tell us a little about her shop and she said: “I have been making jewellery for many years now and have sold lots of my pieces to friends and boutique shops. I love making jewellery with a passion, you could say I have a love affair with vintage jewellery! I love strings of pearls, cameos, vintage buttons, rhinestone encrusted pieces, vintage lace, Victorian jewellery, wire, brass, copper, charms, crystals and gems! I love mixing old and new and everything from my shop comes wrapped up in decadent lace ribbons and couture tags for that extra luxurious touch!”

Other items we love from Josephine’s store are her gorgeous birdcage necklace and this rather beautiful swooping bird necklace
