Fab Freebie: What’s in a Name?

*** This giveaway is now closed – see who won below! ***

After 10,000 interesting name origin stories, random.org has selected our winners as… Beth (who says “my dad picked it out and to this day I’m whole heartily a daddy’s girl.”) and Chelsea (whose name story is: “My parents got my name from the 1981 movie, On Golden Pond. ‘Chelsea’ was played by Jane Fonda”). Congratulations to both!

The name Online Fabric Store probably gives away what this shop sells: fabric. They carry a wide selection, including upholstery, home decor, quilting, apparel and even garden fabrics. That variety means this week’s two winners — each receiving a $250 gift card — can use their prize for many projects: sewing pillow covers, making a duvet, redoing curtains, or tackling upholstery. One nice feature is tiered pricing: the more yardage you buy, the lower the per-yard cost, and orders over $50 ship free within the United States.
