So generous is their giveaway that they have offered 3 sets of Mother’s Day gifts with mothers and daughters in mind.
Three winners will each receive a pair of beautiful hand-embellished journals– one to keep and one to gift to her mom, daughter or special someone who is to be honored on Mother’s Day. 
The giveaway journals were created using supplies offered in the 32NorthSupplies Etsy shop, and on their website, VintageOrnaments.com, which include authentic guilded florentine papers from Italy, embossed, lithographed paper scraps from Germany and England and gold foil Dresden paper trims.
The inside covers are all lined with c. 1930s sheet music and the inside front covers each have a unique scrap as well. No two journals are alike. Each measures 9 3/4" x 7 1/2" with 100 sheets of wide ruled white paper made from 80% sugarcane pulp.
I just received my set yesterday, one for me and one for my sweet mom. Thanks 32º North! (Sorry, can’t show you how magnificent they are or it would spoil the surprise for my mom who reads my blog daily! Hi Mom!)

They have some amazing pieces in their shops!!! Wow!
My journal would go to my Mother in Law ... my own mom passed away last year, quite unexpectedly. She would have loved these journals!
Love the buttons available in the etsy shop. I have a thing for buttons...
I would give my journal to my mom. I might ask her to write down some of her stories in it--she's got some good ones that shouldn't be lost...
Thanks for this generous giveaway, Cathe!
Wow what a great giveaway! Their shops are AMAZING!
I would give the second journal to my mother in law. I am always looking for ways to thank her for raising such an amazing son!
Thanks for your giveaway contribution. The items in your etsy shop are items I am always looking for. You are now bookmarked! and I plan to visit often.
Oh dear, I forgot to say who I would give the second journal to: My older sister. Since my mother was put in a nursing home last Thanksgiving because of a fall from her wheelchair, I would give the second journal to her because she is now being a mother to my mom.
These are lovely! I would give one to my mom.
Oh wow! Now I've bookmarked one site and made a favorite in my etsy account. I see all kinds of wonderful applications with the Etsy items! And the ornaments, LOOVE them.
If I was lucky enough to win, I think I'd give the second to my df. She's a wonderful mom of two boys, one of which has special needs. She loves to journal and this would be so nice.
Also, now that I think about it, I'd give the first to my step/mother-law. She would LOVE this journal after I've altered it and added some photo's for her to share of all her grandchildren.
lovely things in their shops, I know where i am shopping for holiday gifting this year! If I win, I will give the second book to my mother to journal what will possibly be her last year with us due to ill health. thanks for the opportunity to win such a beautiful prize!

The pine cone Christmas tree ornaments from Poland remind me of the ornaments we put on the tree year after year when I was growing up. They were given to Goodwill a few years ago without my knowing, so sad. They were well loved by me. I'm so happy to see the real things coming back in style, not the cheap knock-offs. Wonderful. I would give the second journal to my daughter. She loves journals, though she never writes much in them.
wow what a great etsy shop, very lovely things! Since my mother passed away 13 years ago I would give the second journal to my older sister, she very often held the role of Mom for me :)
What beautiful journals! My own mom has passed away (how I miss her!), so I would give one to my sweet daughter-in-love, who will be celebrating her first Mother's Day!
What a beautiful giveaway, they are just wonderful. I would give the second journal to my Mother In Law, she is such a wonderful woman, who has been having some health problems, what a wonderful gift it would be for her. I am always asking her to write things down, stories, recipes. I know she would truly treasure it as well as I. Have a wonderful weekend. Terri
I would gift mine to my mother-in-law who lives in Romania. Such cute books.
I put 32 degrees in my blog favorites where I can explore them at my leisure!
I would give the journal to a 4th time mom who is having a hard time!
Crossing my fingers....
Patty
They have such beautiful papers! I would give one to my daughter...she is getting ready to go to Europe and I think she would love this immensely! Thanks!
This is a WONDERFUL Site and Etsy Shop! I absolutely love the Victorian scraps and embellishments as well as the lace and trim! I have spent a long time looking at everything and love it all! I would give my mom the 2nd Journal so she could start writing her memoirs... (No more excused Mom!)
Great Giveaway!
Wow, They have great shops! I think I must find some use for tiny wired pompoms!
I would give the journal to my MIL. She loves all things victorian and girly and this would be really special to her.
Thanks for this sweet giveaway!
I'm definately going to spend lots of time (and money) at their etsy shop! I would give the other journal to my daughter-in-law who is going to have my first baby granddaughter! So excited to have some pink in the family!
What yummy eye candy at 32 degrees North. My credit card is warming up already! I lost my dear Mother six years ago and miss her so even now. But I always do something special for my dear grandmother (she's 93!) on this date. So I'll give the second extrodinary journal to her!
everything on the website is fabulous! If I were lucky enough to win, I'd gift the second to my lovely mother! She is always making lists, so this would keep everything so perfectly organized!
These notebooks are gorgeous! I love the Venise lace in the shop. It would be perfect to use for jewelry.
I would give the second notebook to my daughter. I'm sure she would love it!
Wow, so many great things to look at. I am bookmarking the site.
I would give a journal to my mom in hopes that she will write down some memories and family history to one day pass on.
I love those absorbent tea towels with the stripes. I would give my book to a lady at work who has lost her husband and 2 sons to heart conditions.
My Goodness what wonderful things, especially in their etsy shop. I'd love it all, who wouldn't?
My daughter would get the journal. She'd keep it forever.
What a fun shop! Those Florentine papers are gorgeous. I bought some bamboo tiles for jewelry making and am glad I found them. My second journal would be a present to my stepdaughter.
Beautiful items in the shops!! I love the vintage goodies! I love the beautiful journals. They are so inspirational. I was just talking with my mom the other day, and we were saying we would like to get journals to write our memories of our childhoods into so that my grandchildren (my moms great grandchildren) will have something that tells our stories. This would be a wonderful gift for both of us!
There are so many pretty things to choose from! I would give one to my mama who I love so much.
~Rebekah
Wow at the supplies and I love vintage ornaments!
I would gift the other journal to my Hidden Hunny at church. I know she would get a lot of use out of it.
WOW what cool journals. My daughter (who is a mom) would love one of these.
Robin
Don't want to sound greedy but I love these vintage inspired journals so since I'm a mom, I think I'd keep it for myself for mother's day. I could use it to note down all the christmas gifts list/exchanges each year.
I checked out 32 North only to find that they are already on my favorites list. I love their scraps and the forgetmenots.
I think I would give one journel to my daughter-in-law and the other to my Mom. I'm trying not to be greedy -- and they are gorgeous.
Good luck to everyone who enters!
O.K., I have definitely added the sites to my Favorites list! Their lace is beautiful and inspiring. And the 1930's Japan clutch, how many nights out must it have enjoyed? The egg containers are superb, I want a collection now! I would, of course, give 1 journal to my mom, and the other to a very good friend, because she loves notebooks too. Thank you for the give-away.
I have 2 daughters, so I'd have to gift this to my mother if I won. I think she'd really enjoy it!
I love the shops! I really like the paper ornaments & the Fancy Spun Glass Victorian Lady Ornament
Wow, these are really beautiful! I have bookmarked the etsy store- great stuff. I would give the second journal to my oldest daughter, who is turning 11 in June. She is an avid sketcher/ budding artist and would be very inspired by such an artsy journal. I am sure she would have it filled with doodles and notes in no time!
Thanks for sharing them! I adored their entire site.
I would give the extra journal to my mom! She would adore a thoughtful surprise like that!
Gotta go pour over their site again. Many little lovelies there!
Kate
I am so glad you featured this shop on your blog as I have never visited before. I am going to have to save up my pennies and do some shopping soon- I love the vintage forget me not bouquets and that velvet ric rac is awesome!! I love this kind of thing to collect!
bee blessed

I have finally gotten my mother who is 86 to start journaling things from her childhood. Her memory is so remarkable. She is who I would give one of the books to. I would want to keep the other one, but might have to give it to my only daughter so she can begin journaling things about her girlhood and the things she treasures most about her children's lives. I would have to really think about that 2nd book.
This is a lovely give away... I'm in love with all of the lovely paper in the shop.
If i were lucky enough to win, I'd give a journal to my mom.. she absolutely adores stuff like this. & since she's pretty much brought us up on her own, It'd be the perfect gift this mothers day
What beautiful items in their shops...such a wonderful variety.
If I win, I will give the 2nd journal to my daughter-in-law. This will be her first mother's day. She can either use it to journal about her new life as a mom or, since she's a crafty soul, she can use it to keep track of all those creative ideas floating in her head.
Oops forgot- will give other journal to a DEAR friend who love journaling too!
Oh goodness, SO much inspiration in the etsy shop!! So many beautiful pieces.
If I was lucky enough to win the giveaway I would give the journal to my mom. :-)
What an awesome Etsy shop. I loved all the trims and ribbons. I would give my journal to my dear friend, Sherian. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway. Love & blessings from NC!
Wow, so many pretty things! I would give my second journal to my younger sister. Our mum passed away nine years ago next month. It would be great to preserve our memories of her in these journals. And now that we are moms ourselves, it would be great to pass along our memories as moms to our kids on these journals as well. tndmail3(at)yahoo(dot)com
I would give one of these Journals to my Mamma and one to my sister.
My sister is travelling overseas at the moment and so keeping in touch with her is really difficult (she is mostly in 3rd world countries). If she could keep a 'diary/journal' then I could read about her adventures/experiences and I wouldnt miss out (she'd forget most of her news by the time i finally got to have a long chat)
For my Mamma because she rights beautiful verses but due to rough economic times its all on basic refill.
These journals are just beautiful, and so many great finds in the shops!!!
I would like to gift the second journal to my sweet daughter who is celebrating her second Mother's Day this year!

All my favorite stuff! I bookmarked you and will be back. The journals are gorgeous and I would give one to my daughter and the other to my daughter-in-law. Both of my girls appreciate beautiful handwork.
Thank you Cathe,

Both these sites offer lovely things. I especially like the offerings oon Etsy. Would love a chance at the giveaway! Thanks!
Gorgeous stuff! I would give the second journal to a gal who has stepped into my life and been a mom, mentor, and grandparent to my children--no relation to us physically--but she stepped in to our lives and became that for us which I (we ) are so grateful for!

What a wonderful giveaway! I love the "32o North items! Since my own mom has passed away, I would give my second journal to my niece, Susan, who is a caring, loving mother to her children, plus she is a cancer survivor too. Thanks for the opportunity to enter this giveaway. Linda Beard - MidwestieLady on Etsy.
What beautiful items. I would give the second journal to my 17 year old granddaughter, she has kept a journal for years, plus she loves to design her own covers.
Wow! I have never visited this shop before...what an amazing find! And thanks for sharing such a great giveaway. :) The 2nd book would go to my sweet mama who also celebrates a bday this month.
xoxo
everything in the shop is AMAZINNNGGGG....
if i got the journals, i would give one to my mom. :)

I would give a journal to my Mother. Her house was built in 1908 and before she started to remodel it it was almost condemned. The whole house is decorated in period art and antiques and one of these journals would just make her a happy little ducky! I've already forwarded her the websites here and can't wait to pick out her Mothers Day gift! What a great shop!!
After several years of denying, I've gotten the vintage bug back. Your items are gorgeous. I'm an avid journaler, and would be so appreciative. My 13 year old daughter is just dabbling in journaling - I'd love to share these with her!
Man, those are beautiful. I love the sheet music. If i won, I'd give the second to my best friend, who even though she's younger than me, took the mom role quite often for me, since I am estranged with mine.
Hi Cathe..love the shop. Will take some time and really look.
The journals are beautiful and I would love to win. One would go to a daughter who is a gardener. This would be great for her to keep up with garden world!
Thanks for your generosity.
Smiles and Blessings,
Nancy kC
Oh I just found you and your delightful blog. Sent this way by my daughter.
I would definatley love to win the journals and the second would have to be given to my daughter for Mother's Day...
Hugs,
Catherine
Wow. Love all their goodies.
I would give the journal to my mom. She could really use it right now as an "outlet" as my dad was just diagnosed with cancer.
Thanks for another generous giveaway, Cathe.
I love their shop!!! Planning a wedding and I'm totally going to see what they have that I could incorporate! I would give the journal to my very dear friend Dora who is the mother of 3 boys and loves everything girly but rarely receives anything feminine. She deserves it. I made my mom a quilt so don't worry, I haven't forgotten about her!
Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on CraftCrave today [17 Apr 02:00pm GMT]. Thanks, Maria
32* North is one of my very favorite online shops! This is such a lovely giveaway... Do count me in on the fun, please. :o) Happy Weekend!
Absolutely lovely! I would love to give the journal to my mom, in the hope that she would start her creative writing again.
What a lovely store! I really love those little Johnny Jumpup flowers. So pretty! I'd share the prize with my friend Cassie, to celebrate her new job!
Lovely shop! Though I would have a hard time parting with it, I would give the journal to my little sister. She was born on Mother's Day and has had a very difficult year.
Such lovely velvet pink rick rack and other supplies 32 D N has in the Etsy shop~
I would gift the journal to my daughter who is having a bridal shower, so she can record all things wedding~
Lovely giveaway and shops.
All my best, Theresa
Beautiful! I would give the second to my daughter!
The vintage ornaments are awesome! I was not aware of their shop before, and I love what they have. The journals are really nice, too. If I won, I would give one to my daughter, who loves vintage things.
I am really impressed with all the beautiful things on their website and in the Etsy shop. Wow!
I would give the second journal to my mom as we collet favorite sayings and scripture and these would be perfect to store these treasures in! Thanks for such a generous giveaway!
what lovely items on that site. I would give the 2nd journal to my mom and ask her to start writing down her stories. My grandma did that when she was in her 70's and it is a cherished keepsake for all of us.
I am so in love here. Thank you for introducing these websites to me. These journals are so pretty. It would be such a treat to share with my mom. My contact email is artoftheletter atgmail.com
I love the flowers offered in the first shop. I have been looking for some like these for a while. The hand blown ornaments really took me back to a time when I use to see my Grandmother's old ornaments at Christmas. Great discoveries at both places.
My journal would go to my Aunt Gwen.
Wow! I would love to win! This shop is wonderful, I especially love the Made In Italy Authentic Florentine Paper For Your Projects paper! i would give the second notebook to my fabulous mum, who cares for my special needs sister every day and is awake throughout the whole night, and who has also suffered from an early child's death. :) I LOVE MY MUM!
I think I would give them both away to my sister and sister in law and then by another one for my wonderful Mom. I don't have children and am surrounded by three of the best Moms I have ever known!
What a beautiful collection of pretty things they have. Inspiring! I would give the journal to my mom. We share the same passion for anything vintage! Thanks for the giveaway.
What a gorgeous store, and blog. The Christmas ornaments remind me of some handpainted glass ornaments my sister and I bought in Germany, for our mother, when we were back-packing. We carried them around for months in our backpacks, paranoid they would be crushed! They were not the most practical gift but extremely beautiful.
If I won this contest, I would gift the journals to my friend Tanya (who lives in the US, unlike me) and her mother, who has been like a second mother to me at times!
I just love their little vintage bouquets! I would give my book to my grandma... too many good stories to be lost.
What beautiful treasures there are at both shoppes! I could look for hours. I would give the second journal to my niece Bethanne (named after me Elizabeth Anne) for her upcoming birthday. She was born before my daughters and I think of her as one of my own.
Holy cow, look at all that German foil! Thank you, I just found a new favorite store!!
If I were to win, I'd give the journal to my sister. She's raising two little ones under 5, all on her own, and she relishes her journal time. :D
I think I would give one to my mom as well. She would love a vintage journal, as would I!
Wow what a great site!
I would give the journals to my amazing mom and my lovely little grandma who would love it so much. Such a great site.
What beautiful creations the company makes! I've never heard of them but am pleased to know of them now! I'm so excited by all of the trims and paper ephemera in their shop that I can't decide what I love the most. I'm placing an order right now because some of that much grace my home with it's presence!
I would give one of the journals to my mother because I love reading anything she writes and she never does it often enough. Something that beautiful would encourage her.
What a lovely give-away, thank you for the chance to enter! I am in love with the tiny little bouquets of flowers and spun cotton mushrooms, adorable!
Both of my adult daughters and I were recently involved in a pretty horrific accident, and we came out of it feeling so blessed just to be alive. I would give the journals to them because writing within the pages of such beauty could not be anything but healing.
I have never been to their website and was just amazed at the products they offer! They are adorable.
Thank you for the chance at the giveaway you're doing. I would give the 2nd journal to my mom!
I am absolutely falling in love with the merchandise they offer. I have a strong feeling I will be visiting their shop often.
If I win my journal would go to my Mommy (yes I still call her that). We always have these one liners that are always funny but when we want to remember them we forget. With the journals we would be able to write down thoughts and our one liners so we don't forget them any more :)
These are just breathtaking! I love the music paper inside.
I'd gift these to my mom and mother-in-law, both very dear women to my heart.
Thanks for the great giveaway!

So fun to find a new Etsy shop!!! I would gift the second journal to my friend Laura who adopted a child a little over a year ago.
