Muse in a Bottle Giveaway (NaNoWriMo)


I don't know about you, but I love unique items for my office space! My desk is my writing haven and I have an inherent need to decorate it with nicknacks and images which inspire me. I practically cried tears of "must have!" when I discovered the Mermaid's Muse Magic Potion bottle from kaniko.

Not only is the bottle filled with German glass glitter, shells, beads and other sea bits, but it's also sealed with wax and adorned with a tiny silver mermaid! It comes with mermaid-inscribed antiqued directions which read:

"For assistance from the deep when your creative wheels seem to have stalled: take a walk on the beach, sprinkle muse into the waves and relax as your ideas and inspiration flow...."

Ahh, so perfect for us NaNoWriMo writers!

The rest of the shop is amazing, too! I'm swooning over the "Tiny Pine Cone Elves" and everything else that has such a storybook feel.

Karina, the artist behind kaniko, is giving away one of these lovely potion bottles to a Haute Whimsy reader. For a chance to win, please visit kanico and leave a comment below letting us know which other items you like!
