3 GIVEAWAYS open until Wednesday November 25th.
Our FIRST Fabulous Friday Freebie
brought to you by Avec Dieu Couture
is a $50 Gift Certificate
Paisley, taffeta, damask, silk dupioni, velvet, animal prints, toile, stripes and Asian flair are among the dozens and dozens of fabrics to choose from when selecting your custom order from this lovely home accent store. Avec Dieu's creations range from classic elegance to a modern cutting edge twist in style.
With an eye for design and a love for varied texture, Avec Dieu generates home accents both practical and pleasing to the eye. It is no secret that tapestry, curtains, towels and throw pillows are the key to transforming a room into that perfectly coordinated "showroom style". You will not be at a loss for options when you explore Avec Dieu's lovely assortment of colors and prints.
I bought a duvet cover for my bed at Bed Bath and Beyond. It was on clearance. Someone had opened the package and it had been marked off 85%. I loved it and it was an absolute steal. It wasn't until I got it home that it dawned on me that I didnt have anything else that color. We've all done that at one time or another. Taken advantage of a deal (tho perhaps slightly impractical) that we just couldn't pass up. With a little something here and there to tie it in, you have the potential for a complete room makeover. I sent Avec Dieu a picture of the pleated design I needed to match the bed, the style of pillow I wanted and chose the silk dupioni fabric that would match my duvet and...well...I think my new room works now!
Make a purchase from Avec Dieu and enjoy a 10% discount this week only when you mention Fabulous Friday Freebies. Stylish wine bags would make great Christmas gifts for neighbors and friends. Browse those along with towels, table linens and napkins. Martha Stewart's got nothin' on you with these cheeky accents around!
In addition to a wonderful discount to help you get a jump start on your Christmas shopping, Avec Dieu also donates 15% of all sales to support a mission project in Uganda caring for orphans with AIDS!
So you can finally get that shower curtain up in the guest bathroom...or those drapes hung before your Mother-in-law comes to visit for the holidays!

$50 Gift Certificate from Avec Dieu
