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.
Jubilee is my fave!
LOVE the rendezvous – might even inspire me to actually DO yardwork!
I can’t decide between the expression and rendezvous. How very lovely. I may even enjoy yard work more :)
Jubilee is so cute! hope they fit small hands!
Expression is very cute!
Rendezvous is my favorite! Thanks!
Oh, I love these gloves. The rendevous are definitely my favorite! It was hard to pick though, very hard. I hate wearing gloves to work in the garden/yard, but I’d certainly wear these. They look cool, but also comfy. Thanks!
Jubilee is my favorite – if I win I will be sure to share them with my 13 yr old daughter when her Dad makes her help with the flower beds!
Gala is my favorite!!
Absolutely Jubilee. Would be perfect for my friend the gardener whose birthday is next month!! pick me! : )
I think the signature one is just my style! Thanks for sharing this site with the rest of us.
Jubilee gets my vote! Thanks.
I think the “gala” would go best with my daily shorts and shirt if I so chose to wear them to the grocery store. Do you think the neighbors would look at me weird if I wore them to the pool?
I’m partial to Expression – they would match my gardening clogs perfectly and that’s what it’s all about :)
Rendezvous! Makes me want to get outside and work in a garden, but I don’t have one! Maybe, I’ll just gt one if I win!
I love the jubilee ones…..
My husband and I just bought our first house…and boy is that yard a mess! The Gala gloves would certainly inspire me to get out there and get working!
My favorite would be Rendezvous. Maybe, if I had these gloves, I would be motivated to finish weeding my flower beds.
My paternal grandmother’s name was Ethel Louise so of course I like the name also. I don’t garden, but if I won I think my sister would enjoy the Jubilee gloves.
Wow – I guess a lot of us love these gloves! I’m partial to the Rendezvous, myself. I don’t have an Ethel in my family tree (that I know of), but I do have a Hazel – does that count? :D
jubilee is my favorite
I love the Rendezvous…will they help me love to garden and work outside as well? In that case, they’re gold!
Expression!
I love the jubilee style! Very sassy! =)
Expression – love the red! Thanks.
I adore the Rendezvous pattern!
Jubilee is my favorite with Rendezvous in a close second. Thanks!
The Rendezvous are adorable!
Signature is wonderful! I would love to have those cute brown gloves. I hate when I go to pick a tomato and a big black spider touches me! ACK!!! These gloves might make it a bit better. Maybe.
I’d say yes to rendezvous…. mostly ‘cuz I desperately need to rendezvous with my garden!! Also…Ethel is my husband’s grandma’s name so we have that one spoken for (although unless God intervenes miraculously we will not be adding to our family of 4!!)
Rendezvous. Because they are the cutest to me, and it’s lunchtime and Rendezvous makes me think of RIBS.
I love the Jubilee (as do a lot of other people, I see!) but my second pick would be Expression. That bright red would make them easy-peasy to find when I drop them in the grass accidently. :)
I think the Gala pattern is my favorite–but I really love all of them. Such cute, nice-looking gloves!
VERY Sassy! I think the Jubilee & Rendezvous are my favs. Just one? I could use these tonight while helping my man with the yard work!
I love the rendezvous gloves!!!
Those are awesome gloves–I would pick Jubilee.
I love love love the jubilee style. Those glovess are too cute. I also love “old” names, I plan on naming my baby Blythe or Madge. Thanks have a great day. ~ Molly P.
Loved the Jubilee! Really like the inside of all of them. The leather is so sexy, oops I meant sassy!!
Bridget
Rendezvous is my pick. My husband is a high school coach and does produce farming in the summer- I would put those gloves to good use to say the least!
I like the signature. My grandmother was named Ethel.
definitely the jubilee. Also because I like the Michael Card song “Jubilee.” :)
I could always use a new pair of gardening gloves. The weeds are popping up all over the garden! I love the Jubilee ones. And I think I may name my daughter that!
Oh, and I just bought a pair of gardening gloves last week. They are not sassy! Expression is my favorite!
Well, let me pipe in as the 650th person who likes the Jubilee gloves! They are almost too sassy to wear in the garden – I might wear them to church!
This was such a hard decision I hope that I win after all the agony in just picking which was my favorite! How adorable!
I would choose Rendezvous if I won, which would be helpful as I have lots and lots of yard work I’m behind in :-P
I love Jubilee. It’s blue which makes it the sassiest of all.
Oooooh, Mrs. Gardenhat needs her some of those spiffy Rendevous gloves for the gardening days, for sure. Sweeeeet!
Love Jubilee!!
I love gala and rendevous. cute, cute!
I like the signature! SUper cute and I bet they will inspire me to plant more flowers in my new yard!
HoLEEEEE smokes, look at the number of people hoping to fancify their hands in the garden!
I’m going rendezvous.
Those sassy little dudes might cause me to actually want to PULL UP the weeds, rather than just squirt them with Round-up and watch them sit there – all brown and crunchy.
I’m commenter # 350!!!!
whoo hoo.
In all reality. I have 6 pairs of gardening gloves and no garden. I do own 7.5 acres of mountainous madness so believe me, if they aren’t getting chewed by the dog, they are hauling wood, spraying poison oak or swatting big bugs.
I would love to win to say that “Hey I won,” but you can give mine to #11 commentor.(It’s my favorite #)
Thanks girl.
Hi!
This granddaughter of Ethel and great-granddaughter of Ethel likes the signature colors – would work best with Georgia clay!
Thanks!
Debbie
Love the Jubilee gloves, very cute
So cute…I like the Gala!
Oh, my, I was so laughing at your description of Doris Day’s ensemble with gloves, versus your own. I would be tempted to accessorize my tee shirt, cropped khakis and flip-flops with the rendezvous style!
I like the Rendezvous. They all look so comfy!
BTW – my mother in law is named Ethel – but she is neither on the interweb nor likely to be in your someday daughter’s classroom since our Ethel is 89 – identical twin to Elsie both a hearty 4’9″ tall and fill of P and V right to their eyeballs! Thisis NOT an additional entry but merely a cheerful update on the situation with naming of Ethels.
LOVE the “rendezvous” style – fresh & “sassy”!
Rendevous
Oooo, because I’m horrible at making up my mind I’ll say two. Either Signature or Rendevous.
RENDEZVOUS
too precious
Oh my gosh! What cute gloves and what a wonderful website! Thank you! I’d have to have the Gala for my black motorcycle outfit and Rendezvous for my cream motorcycle outfit. Then maybe a different color for gardening, and…
I’m down with the jubilee style. :)
Jubilee for me!
You are more then welcome to the name Ethel. With my blessings. Ethel and Howard – how perfect.
omg!!
i think if my hands were safely enclosed in the gloves pattered jubilee my tomaotoes would grow huge and those groos tomato worm/bug thing would be completely intimidated and not feast on my plants for fear of being plucked by something so sassy!
I love the signature!
Jubilee!
Jubilee :)
I totally love the Rendezvous…and you can have Ethel, but then you need to have twinners so that you can name the other Lucy. :-)
The Jubilee design is very pretty. I’d love to prance around with these on in my yard! They’re almost too pretty!
I love the jubilee! I would have to stay out in the yard working longer, so that I could wear the “sassy” gloves!
I love the Rendezvous!
Hey,these gloves may just make me want to work in my yard…jubilee!
Love the Expressions. Too cute. Of course, they all were Thanks!
Gardening with the Gala would be some wonderful weeding!
OH, those are some great gloves. Would have to say the Gala is my favorite, but the Jubilee is pretty cute too!
Rendezvous is my fave!!!
Oooh, a tough decision! I think I’ve settled on Signature! I am, after all, a brown kind of girl!
Amanda
I LOVE the jubilee!!
I would just love to have signature!
I love the Jubilee!
Why I would love me a pair of the Jubilee gloves. They certainly would make gardening a more classy…perhaps even enjoyable experience.
If I wore the Gala, would I have to wear the pearls while I gardened? :)
My favorites are JUBILEE. Because they remind me of the PARTY I will have if I win these gloves!!!
Jubilee!! Jubilee!! Has SASSY written ALL over it!!!
Rendezvous for me…very sassy!!!
I like the Rendezvous ones.
I want me some jubilee goodness!
Expression. I have SO MANY WEEDS in my landscaping right now. I’m in denial.
Okay, first of all let me say that Ethel gloves has one of the most beautiful and classy websites I’ve seen in a while! Very nicely done!
I think I like the Jubilee gloves the best.
Thanks!
I really like the Rendezvous pattern, but I’m afraid I would not do any yard work in them for fear that they’d get dirty. So the practical side of me likes the Jubilee gloves.
I like the jubilee pattern. And the expressions. Those look too pretty to be diggin in the dirt with, don’t they?
Oh, my…. I love the Rendezvous pattern, because it would match every gardening outfit I own!
I love the Jubilee…even the name sounds good! Do you think it’ll make me more excited about pulling weeds?????
Love the Rendezvous…
Oooh, it’s gotta be the Jubilee! How cute AND functional!
Great gloves – I like the signature ones.
Great gloves= I am partial to the signiture gloves-love the orange.
Too cool- I want rendezvous!
“Rendezvous” for me, please!
