GIVEAWAY! Vintage Chanel Ad

From a December 1955 VOGUE!

Thank goodness it’s Friday. I’ve had quite a busy week, how about you? Whew. Let’s all celebrate the weekend’s arrival with this fun giveaway I cooked up!

I’ve mentioned before, I have a collection of vintage fashion magazines that I’ve purchased over time from Paper Pursuits. When you buy the issues online, you don’t really know everything that’s going to be included. So it’s exciting to flip through each lovely page and spot an ad or an editorial spread that’s completely amazing. Lucky for you, I’ve done the work and found that spectacular page: a classic 1955 Chanel No. 5 ad!

Personally, I love it on a dresser next to your favorite perfumes, or on a nightstand tucked behind a lamp, or mingled in on a bookshelf, or above an entry hall console, or sitting atop a fab bar cart, or hanging proudly on a gallery wall. (Or would make an amazing gift, holiday shoppers!) Just a few ideas:

[ Who What Wear offices ]

[ via dress, design & decor ]

[ Robert Passal via The Zhush ]

[ Lauren Gold via Lonny ]

[ Society Social ]

Mary McDonald in Domino

[ Mary McDonald’s (old) office wall in Domino ]

To enter, be a new or current follower of small shop on twitter or Facebook, and comment below that you are, plus let me know where you would put this if you won (or who you’d give it to…if that’s even an option!). For extra entries, follow small shop on Pinterest, Lyst, Bloglovin’ and/or Tumblr. Comment for each extra entry — lots and lots of chances to win!

Winner will be announced next Friday, 11/11/11! Good luck, or bonne chance!

**Frame not included (don’t want to ship it!). Full ad size is about 10×13, with the ad area being 9×12. Would be perfect in an off-the-shelf 10×13, 11×14 or 16×20 frame.

    I am following you on Facebook. I love this giveaway! I would place it next to my vanity where I get ready every day…perfumes, mirrors, makeup. Nearby is my prized photograph of Brigitte Bardot from the photog Jacques Heripret…and this piece would add to my feminine inspiration. :)

  79. Jen Martin says

    November 8, 2011 at 12:07 pm

I have decorated my bathroom with a gray and white theme with lots of feminine touches that I think this ad would complement perfectly! I have a blank wall next to my sink where I have not yet hung any artwork, and I believe this would be the perfect piece to complete my bathroom :)

  105. Colleen says

    November 10, 2011 at 5:03 pm

    Now following on Facebook and Pinterest! My grandmother just passed and I acquired some beautiful vintage memories that I hold dearly, including a rather curious letter from Paramount Pictures dated May 19, 1937. Someone from their talent department wrote to my grandmother – “You have been suggested to us as one who might possess screen possibilities. We would like, therefore, to have a little talk with you…” It’s the bees knees! This vintage ad would be a perfect complement next to my now framed vintage letter.

  106. Barbara@HausDesign says

    November 11, 2011 at 12:49 am

    I’m already following you on pinterest and loving it! Hopefully that counts if I already was following. :) I’d put it in my future dressing room surrounded by all kinds of girly stuff – bracelets, jewelry boxes, etc…:)

  107. Barbara@HausDesign says

    November 11, 2011 at 12:50 am

    I’m also following you on Twitter now! It would also look really cool on a bathroom counter, I think – surrounded by some apothecary jars full of pretty soaps and an orchid!

  108. perfume reviews, aftershave reviews says

    January 23, 2012 at 7:46 pm

    I love a really nice fragrance, although I sometimes think there are too many perfumes and aftershaves these days. Too much choice becomes confusing eventually. Sometimes its a good help to read a perfume review to see what others think of a particular aftershave or perfume. Gives you an idea whether you should maybe buy it or not.
