Thanks to all who entered our foreign-language planner giveaway; it was fun to see how many of you speak (or are learning) another language! Here are our illustrious winners:
If your name is on this list, check your email — I’ve sent you a message. If you’re not, check the blog later in the fall, when we’ll be giving away some other foreign-language planners (including Russian and Hungarian).
We’re proud to have international fans, but we’re also glad to have globally minded followers here at home. That’s why we figured we’d do a foreign-language planner giveaway, so you don’t have to travel abroad to practice your dates and declensions. Here are the editions we’ve got:
Note that I haven’t seen these editions in the flesh; the photo above was taken by our product manager, Cecilia. So while I assume that the European Business planner is a lot like our own, I’m really not sure. Prestige seems to have ivory paper, judging from the French website, while the other editions have white.
Ordinarily, we lump all our contestants together and try our best to accommodate winners’ preferences. This time, since people may only be interested in a specific language, I’ll ask everyone to specify what planner you want when you comment, and run each drawing separately.
So: to enter, leave a comment on this post before Thursday, September 15 at midnight EST, and be sure you let us know what language you’d like.
One last note… I know we have international readers on this blog, but since the point of the drawing is to hook people up with a product they can’t find in their home countries, please don’t ask for a language that’s native to where you live! If you’re in the UK and you want a Spanish planner, or you’re in Latin America and you want the Dutch edition, you are more than welcome to enter.
Good luck!
Usually, we do a red-and-blue ink giveaway in honor of Bastille Day. This year, after finding some old bottles of the black ink that J. Herbin made for Victor Hugo (and remade in 2004), we decided to shake things up. We’ve got 8 extra bottles to give our lucky readers — cross your fingers, hope to win!
Remember, this is NOT a fountain pen ink, so Karen will include a Brause nib and holder with each prize.

Thanks to contest winner Annie for sending us a picture of this lovely handwritten note! A great description of Larmes de Cassis, too: “like the stain you would get if you dropped a piece of blueberry pie onto a white shirt.”
(And yes, I do know the color of that stain. Why do you ask?)

• Lie De The
• Cacao Du Brasil
• Cafe Des Iles
