I was all prepared to be done with the giveaways. Really. I was.
I decided to take a break from them for awhile because, well, they’re time-consuming, and I figured that unless I ran across some Deeply Memorable Music, there was nothing I could give away that wouldn’t keep until fall.
But then I found out about Ethel gloves.
And I just had to – HAD TO – share them.
Say it with me, internets: SASSSSSS-SY.
And who says you can’t be sassy when you’re working in your yard?
They’re also super-durable. According to some information that the Ethel people sent me, the gloves are made to fit the contours of women’s hands, they’re made from four-way stretch Spandex and breathable, synthetic leather materials for flexibility and lightweight comfort, they’re designed to protect with an elasticized extended cuff and reinforced fingertips, and they’re machine washable.
Plus, lest you forget: SASSSSSS-SY.
Seriously. These gloves are so cute that I’m wondering if I can’t wear them all the time.
Like, you know, to the Walmarts or the Publix.
I’ll be just like Doris Day in “Pillow Talk.” Only instead of pairing my gloves with a belted dress, a saucy hat, and a mink stole, I’ll be wearing them with some cropped yoga pants, a t-shirt and flip-flops.
It’s a look that could TOTALLY catch on, don’t you think?
Why, I believe I’ve solidified a new fashion goal.
Anyway, the people at Ethel gloves have very graciously offered to give away five pairs of their gloves to five lucky winners, and here’s what you have to do to be eligible to win.
1. Click here to visit the Ethel gloves site.
2. Check out their five different styles. You’ll find the styles listed across the bottom of the main page – just click on the style’s name (“gala,” “expression,” etc.) to see a picture.
3. Come back here and tell me which style you like best.
4. The end.
And if you see all the sassy on the Ethel site and think YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM RIGHT THIS SECOND, you can enter in the discount code “Boomama” and get 10% off your order for the next thirty days.
Also, I could write an entirely separate post about how much I adore the name “Ethel,” but instead of doing that I think I’ll just call dibs and say that NO ONE ELSE ON THE INTERNET CAN NAME A DAUGHTER “ETHEL” EXCEPT ME.
I FEEL THAT’S TOTALLY FAIR.
See? I am very reasonable.
And good luck with the giveaway, y’all!
*until I change my mind and do another giveaway, thank you.
This giveaway is now closed.

June 10th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Sassy indeedy!! I’ll be choosing the Jubilee.
June 10th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
So… can we wonder whether there is a boobaby to go with the cool name Ethel?? Cause that would be a great!
…and I bet she’d be cute and sassy not unlike the Ethel Gloves.

Well, put me on the list of people who love the Jubilee style! Although the Gala style are pretty sassy, too! These would totally give me a good reason to go out in the yard and do some gardening. I might even pull a weed or three!
June 10th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Oh my goodness, how to choose? I loved each one but if I had to pick one and only one … it would have to be jubilee. Totally darling and I just love the color combo. Perfect for working in our new backyard.
June 10th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Jubilee is my favorite. Maybe that’s why I haven’t done the weeding. I need cute gloves!~ Amanda
June 10th, 2008 at 2:24 pm

Thanks for the giveaway!

June 10th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
I would be so excited to win I would take any pair, but if I had to choose, I would pick the jubilee.
June 10th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
I LOVE the Jubilee – TOO cute!
June 10th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Well now aren’t those just the cutest thing to wear in the garden ever! I would be delighted to do the “harvesting” in a pair of pretty blue Jubilee gloves! And for less than $20! Amazing!
June 10th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
I’m a Jubilee sort of gal.
June 10th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
rendevous for me
Diana
June 10th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Okay. Gala is my first choice with Jubilee coming in a very close second…
These are sooo cute!
June 10th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Jubilee it is…..
June 10th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
Expression…the red is sassiest. I might actually enjoy yard work more if I had this stylin’ gloves!!!
June 10th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
I’m loving the Jubilee!
June 10th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
They are all beautiful, Jubilee is my favorite!
June 10th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Sassy indeed. I would choose the Gala because it’s a cousin of the Little Black Dress.
June 10th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Oh, it’s hard to pick…I love them all.
I’ll say signature.
June 10th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
I think the jubilee would be perfect for when I mow the lawn … just the right touch. :)
June 10th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
I like both the rendezvous & the jubilee!
June 10th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
I love the Renezvous style. Not only because they’re cute but that name reminds me of some of the best ribs I’ve ever had at the Renezvous in Memphis….YUMMM!!
June 10th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
I might actually do some yard work if I had some cute gloves like these! I’d love the jubilee!
June 10th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
I like the expression.
June 10th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
I like the signature…….
June 10th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
I’ll jubilantly wear the pair called jubilee and be as sassy as I can, while pruning my rose bushes, thank you very much.
June 10th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Ummmm… did you see the Jubilees??? I absolutely LOVE them. LOVE them.
Sure hope I win.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway…
Happy Summer
June 10th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
I like Signature. Since I sorta quit gardening because I kept killing every plant I planted, I too would have to wear them, as my daddy would say, to the Public.
June 10th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Ok I am stuck – love both the signature and expression :) Would love to be sassy while digging in the dirt :)
June 10th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Cute AND functional…how nice! I love the jubilee.
June 10th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
ummm…totally rendezvous! Even the name is SASSSSSS-SY!
June 10th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
I ♥ the jubilee!
June 10th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
The rendezvous gloves are very cute!
