The first file is in almost-perfect condition, it made of ecologically harvested solid maple wood, and finished with a nice non-toxic satin finish. The only thing 'wrong' with this file is that it has a small dark spot on one of it's top sides (you can see the little mark in the photos). I actually love this little spot, but others may not so much and so it is not for sale.
The second address file is made of, again, ecologically harvested solid black walnut wood, and finished nicely with a non-toxic satin finish. It looks, however, as though somewhere a long the way it may have been banged, as one of it's back corners is a little bit dented in. You cannot notice it at all unless you pick it up and examine it, but still it will not be sold.
Each file is filled up with 200 address cards, each of them cut and punched personally by me! (I can now cut these cards with my eyes closed) Many of the cards are patterned with my own designs and printed on recycled paper, some are solid-coloured cards, and some cards are cut from re-cycled cardstock such as vintage library book cards. Each file is numbered, personalised to the recipient, and made with a whole ton of care and love!If you would like to have one of these special address files to call your own (or give to a friend) Please leave a comment and I will randomly pick two winners tomorrow evening (Tuesday, June 1st, pacific time) This contest is open to anyone, anywhere in the world. Good Luck!

What a lovely giveaway. I would love to have one of these sitting on the desktop in my studio.
I have been coveting one of your address files since I started reading your blog. I adore your work and enjoy reading about your family, projects and creative ideas. The magazine article about organization really helped me figure out a system that works for me. I would love to have one of these files-it would definitely help me organize stacks of business cards and numbers I have stashed all over the place.
Oh!! My birthday is on the 3rd, so this would be a fabulous present!! I'm also a local Vancouver-ish designer enjoying the dance between motherhood and design. Thanks for the chance. Rosa

I would love to win. I've been wanting one of these beauties for a while.
I love reading your blog (I hope my kitties are as sweet as yours when I have my little one) and your address files are just fantastic. I would be thrilled to have one in my home.
Yes please-I'd love to win one of your address files! They are lovely!

I would LOVE one of these :) I think they are just the cutest little thing ever. Also - since right now, I keep addresses on index cards that are scattered in various locations in our house.... this would be a great idea to get them organized and in one place!
I've coveted your address files for a while now and I would LOVE to win the solid black walnut wood one, it looks gorgeous! Thanks for the opportunity!!
An answer to my twice over failed technology!

Love! Love! Love! Spots, dings and all! Thanks for the giveaway!

Ooh, I do so lust after these. (In a non-icky way.) Slightly damaged is much better than mint, in my book. My fingers are crossed (which will make it very difficult to do my job today...or type).
elissa at iinet dot net dot au
Oh let me be a lucky one! I'd love either one of those!

Oh yes please! Getting married in October and would love to get the guests to fill out a card of their own!
Fingers, toes and everything else crossed!
I would love to give a loving home to one of the address files. We all have our imperfections.
I always love it when I find a vase or an old teacup I like at the thrift shop that has a wee chip or crack, because then I know I get to keep it forever just because I love it, and no one will take if off me!
My 4-year-old is learning his address at school and often eyes my mom's rolodex, yearning to spin that dial and find the names of his friends. I promised him that we would make his own phone book. While a little extravagant, I would love to see his excitement as we filled this with his own contacts!
*waves* Me! I can give one a good home! All the way over here in wintery Sydney. =)
I would love one of these lovely address files!
I would love one of these! They are beautiful!
