Above is a little caddy box that I found at the thrift store a couple years ago. It was cute when I found it but it was really dirty and needed to be painted, but before I painted it I simply glued on this applique from Do it yourself CHIC and it added so much charm!
I also used one of their appliques on the headboard that I found free on Cragslist! What a difference that made!!!
Do it yourself CHIC contacted me and they would like to give one of you a $50 gift certificate! To enter this giveaway you just have to go visit their website and have a look around and then come back here and leave a comment before midnight on Saturday October 10th and tell me what applique is your favorite...just a general description is fine! I will randomly pick a winner and announce it on Sunday, October 11th! If you don't have a blog please be sure to leave your email address on your comment! Click here to visit their website.
Updated: Congratulations to Debbie Bell (no blog) ~ She won the gift certificate!

What a wonderful resource for projects! I love that shabby floral basket -- beautiful!
Well, that's a lot of pretty! I love their knobs, but for applique's I think my favorite at this moment is the corners. Its all beautiful!
WOW..what a way to start a monday. After looking through the site, I would say my favorite is the Shabby Cherubs with Swags..which after I selected I read is a best seller! Of course it is! So...this is so exciting. I have been a blog wall flower reading and dreaming. This weekend I scoured craigslist until I found a perfect dining set on the cheap to chic up. It is my first real project since stalking your blog. I am now on the hunt for where to get knobs and appliques. This giveaway could not be more perfect!!! Happy Monday Everyone!
Love their products :) The swags are my favorite :)
Have a a happy day :)

I love these appliques. I've used them on projects before and even used them on my kitchen cabinets. My favorite is the Bow Swag with roses.
I love the glass knobs! I'm redoing a Henredon china cabinet - the knobs would be heavenly.

oh my what an enabler you ! :-) i love the Chic Cottage Swag - large (BCS)... i think of a lots of places that needs to be, first and foremost my fireplace that i am planning on redoing this winter!
So many pretties to choose from.
My favorite is the Shabby Rose Swag...

Oh gosh ~ there's so many I like! I love the fleurs, the large crest, the small crowns ~ they are all wonderful. The prices aren't bad either. I'll be adding them to my Favorites.
Great contest! I've been wanting to dress up a bookcase. The Chic Crest looks like it might work well for that.
Oh to pick just a few. I loved the shabby corners and the rosettes and oh, did I mention the knobs. Great website!
Oh, to choose just a few. I loved the shabby corners and the rosettes and absolutely loved the decorative knobs.
I love their products. I like the rose bouquet.
I have used them on our fireplace and it turned out so pretty and different from appliques that are found in other stores. They are beautiful and very easy to apply!
Wow! I looked at all of the appliques and must say I didn't see anything I didn't love. If I had to choose one category, it would have to be the roses. Love, love, love them.
I love all of them and I love that website. My favorite at the moment is probably the bows that go at the corners (the ribbons drape down). I have a cabinet I purchased on craigslist and set of those would be just the touch it needs.
jmsmith987ATgmail.com
Oh Cindy how do you decide on a favorite?
I love them all!
I think the floral wreath swap would be perfect for a cabinet I have an want to paint and foofoo up a bit!
Thanks for sponsoring this give away!

Smiles,
♥Ana
I died over your headboard when you posted it originally. I would love to use the large swag to do something like that in my daughter's room. It's so fun to dream!
I LOVE their appliques!
I bought 2 swags and a small wreath from them a while back and glued them to my range hood. It turned out great!

Dear Miss Cindy,
I love the Do It Yourself Chic website. I've always wanted to order from them, but had a difficult time making up my mind what pattern I wanted for my money. I would love to be considered for their/your giveaway gift. I'd be hard pressed to say what my absolute fav is, but I really like the roses, wreaths, and swags. They're awesome! Thanks Cindy, Penny Sue
Oh.... can't decide!!! I love anything with roses, vines and the swags are all neat too!! Putting those on furniture is so fun and makes it so much prettier - would love to win!
It's all so very pretty! I love the swags and roses. Very nice giveaway. Warm wishes, Esther

falka01@hotmail.com
Love, love, love this stuff! I can think of so many projects to do with these!

I love those things and use them too. Aren't they beautiful? I have to say any of them with roses is my fave. Maybe the shabby basket?

I love the shabby basket and the rose knobs.
I would love the Shabby Swag--and I already have a place for it--a lovely little chest in my office that is just waiting for me to have time to paint it!
What a great online store! Everything is very resasonable, I love-LOVE the swags! I am wanting/needing to redo my wooden fireplace screen and those would surely do the trick!!
~Cheryl
I was just thinking about where to get these from. I love the shabby swags with bows.
I have an old dresser with black marble top that i painted a very pale yellow, then sanded it to look shabby and want to put these on the bottom drawer. the drawers are like a swag, can't really describe it correctly.Anyway love the swags.

I love the swags but they're all gorgeous!
I love these applique's. You can turn a sow's ear into a silk purse with them. My coffee table in my livingroom used to be a crate for a Model T engine, I put legs on it an applique and antique handles and it is wonderful. Please put my name in for the giveaway, I have been wanting to try their benable trim.

Shabby cherubs with swags and bows! But really I loved them all. So many creative ways to use those appliques!

Hi Cindy,
Yesterday I recieved a heap of these from do it yourself chic and I have to say they are just beautiful and so easy to use! I would have to say my fav would have to be the Shabby Cherubs with Swags! Its so cute!!!
Siobhan
I like any of the swags. I'm planning on redoing a buffet and dressing table, so these would certainly come in handy.
~elaine~
roz_etta@yahoo.com
I would have to say my favorite is the Chic Crest! I'm mentally wondering where I can attach several of these. How would I get them to stick on a wall Glue? Are they heavy? Between moulding would look fabulous!
I have always been partial to their Shabby Chic Wreath. I use appliques frequently in my repurposing. Always enjoy your blog, Cindy!
Oh my, how to pick a favorite... How about the shabby rose vine applique? ♥
Wow! I would love to win any appliques to add to my blackboard that I am working on at the moment. I adore the Shabby Cherubs with swags and bows, so sweet!!
Cheers
Vicki
I've used them before and they really are wonderful and very very easy to use. I actually took them off a piece I had applied them to when I donated that piece to Goodwill!
I think the new crown appliques are cute and something you don't see every day!
Manuela
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that store!!!!!! I have so many favorites, but since we have to pick just one, I'll pick the first favorite I came across. It's the

I love the swag with the glass door knob. Thanks for a great giveaway !
I love the shabby chic vines. I love rose appliques.
They are really all beautiful!
I have a business of re-purposing furniture and use these appliques, they are awesome! I could certainly use some more and would really appreciate having my name entered in the give away(I have never entered one before). I love quite a few of them, however, I do not remember seeing the Baby Chic baskets before and I thought they were adorable!!
Have a blessed day!

Hi Cindy, Ive been lurking on your site for a few months now and just wanted to say your quite an inspiration. I am building my own floathome from things I find for free on craigslist. I have most of what I need except for the frame itself.Your blog and the ideas I find on here are helping me define what I want it to look like in the end. I love, love ,love the appliques, what a wonderful way to dress things up. Hard to choose a favorite for sure, love the knobs and swags, would definatly get the Shabby Cherubs with Swags. Thanks for all the cool ideas, keep them coming.Cheers, Rhianna
PS. I have a ton of old windows in storage, can't wait to build myself one of those window conservatories, and now with the appliques , can really dress it up.
I'm so glad to have found this site...I recently purchased a quilt hanger but it has those heart cutouts in it and I really wanted to cover them up with something...well now I've found the perfect "Baby Rose Medallions" that will instantly make that old quilt hanger into a real treasure...thank you! Myrtle at mnyopp@vt.edu
So many pretty things! I like the new bow swags with drops - so sweet.
It's hard to pick a favorite, but since I am from Louisiana, I have to choose the Fleur de Lis.. any of them. How do you find all these wonderful resources??? Thanks for sharing.
I really like them all, but I love any of the swags. Thanks!

I love their shabby swags. I would love to add them to my bathroom cabinets.
I love the vines and I'm looking around my house trying to see where they will fit. I love it!
I've actually purchased some things from them in the past and love them! Finished off an old secretary desk and it looks great. My favorite is the Huge Shabby Wreath!

I now know what I can do with my old country jelly cupboard I've had for years - transform it into a white romantic home piece with the rose basket appliques and the decorative trim. Do It Yourself Chic website is about to become a favorite!
I love all the amazing appliques! What a tremendous difference they make to any project. I love the cherubs and swags!
*smiles*

What pretty product! It would be difficult to pick a fav, so much lovely to choose from!
Debbie from homewithhospitality@yahoo.com
I love the shabby cherub swag. But then I love most everything they have on their website.
Hi Cindy! I love the shabby chic wreath that is the larger one with the ribbons sort of coming off to the sides. :) I have an old royal blue dresser that was the boys' when they were toddlers sitting in the garage and I keep wanting to add some kind of adornment, paint it, change the hardware and LOVE it! It is screaming for a makeover. :)
I just love those romantic vines- I have a number of lovely climbing rose bushes, and they remind me of my garden. I would just love to have some of these lovely "pretties"...
Hi Cindy:
Love those applique's. Please put me in!
Blessings,
Golie
I was surprised at how reasonably priced these were. I like #11 Shabby Wreaths and #25 shabby Swags, but really, all of their things are pretty neat.
Bow Swag w/drops - would look great on my planter boxes (or drawers)
fsouter@wmu.org
Thanks for the link Cindy, they have a huge selection! I love the shabby crest located in the shabby florals section.
Because I'm searching for a long and narrow applique, I choose the Chic Crest - but they're all lovely! Need it for the front of an old sewing machine table which I painted and use as a bedside table. This belonged to a dear elderly artist friend who passed away a few years back - her son let me choose something from her home so I treasure it.
What an awesome giveaway! This is my favorite; Shabby Chic Rose Center (Large) The Shabby Rose Center comes tinted white and is approximately 12 1/2 " wide x 2 " high. I love the size and it's beautiful! Thank you for the chance to win!

Oh, my! Thanks for showing me that website. What's not to like. There are so many I love. The crowns, the scrolls, the cherubs, fleur de lis. It'll be so wonderful to win.
oh what lovely little things! my favorite is the fleur de lis! not sure i spelled that right! thats my fav but LOVE them all! thanks for sharing!

First, thanks so much for telling me about Do it Yourself Chic. I've never heard of them before, and the crazy thing is...they are in Seal Beach, which is about 10 minutes from me!!!
Anyway, I love their Shabby Chic Wreath. It is so cute!!! I love the vines too :)
Great giveaway - this is such a great site and good prices too! I think my favourite are the chic starfish (under architectural appliques). My mom would live in a tent on the beach if she could so she loves that kind of thing in her home. If I won, I think I'd do over a dresser for her with those one front :) Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the baby cherub applique!
Oh, the floral basket is my fave! I can think of a couple of places to use it! Thanks for the chance to win!
Love the swags! Can't wait to use some of these on my own projects. So inspiring! My e-mail is greyharecottage@aol.com
I’ve been using Do It Yourself Chic’s appliqués exclusively since ordering this summer.
They don’t get mushy in humidity, and they’re affordable!
I liked the cherubs and swags so much I bought them without a clear intent of what I’d actually DO with them.
I love all the beautiful stuff--I think the shabby cherub swag is my fave and my oldest daughter loves the crown. What a great prize they are offering! :)
Scrappin4kids@msn.com
I love the corner details. And all the bows. And the rope borders. I've been on their website before, but this is the first time it's hit me that these are all bendable! That makes them even cooler.
p.s. you inspired me to add an applique for the first time when I shabby-chic-ed our toy chest and it added so much to the final result:)
Uh oh, another site that will be seeing my credit card (if they ship to Canada, that is).
I'm really loving the assortment of knobs they have, especially the glass knobs with back in green - I think it just may even match my proposed colour scheme for the "new" bedroom.
Love your site Cindy - it has set off a whirlwind of activity here with all the inspiration, and especially the how-to on painting furniture. I was terrified of doing it before, but now feel relatively confident that I can actually manage! Thank you!
kdignard@rogers.com
Great stuff. I didn't know there was anything like that out there. I like the shabby roses and drawer pulls. And much more.
Thanks
tcaplingers@verizon.net
I love the roses, the big ones at the top under florals. I also love the wreaths and swags with the roses in them. If I am not careful, my house is going to look like a big ole decorated cake LOL.
I just love all of her items, but I guess my favorite right now is the floral shabby knob.
Irma :)
I love the shabby cherubs with swags. I have a headboard (almost like yours!) that I'm going to refinish and the cherubs would be perfect for it! Please put my name in your drawing.
