Emily Falconbridge Giveaway!
Filed under: Giveaways
I have been an admirer of Emily Falconbridge’s camera straps for quite some time now…and when we stayed with her family in San Diego, I became the proud owner of one! Thanks Emily! 
Her straps are just too cool to pass up…whether you just started taking photos or you’ve been shooting your entire life, you need one of her straps. Why have a boring factory strap around your neck when you can look fabulous with one of Em’s?!
Here is what they look like around the necks some amazing women
Tara Whitney | Ali Edwards | Cathy Zielske
Emily generously donated the red and orange strap that you see above for a giveaway on this blog. Yay yay yay! So…all you have to do is come out of lurkerdom and leave me a comment. Any comment. Tell me what you are doing this weekend. Tell me how you found my blog. Tell me your favorite thing about summer…or something that no one would ever guess about you. It’s a free for all
I will choose the winner at random on July 11. Of course, it would be great if you would tell all the photographers you know about her site as well. Or, buy some extra straps for the photographers in your life. She is constantly updating and posting new and different designs, so be sure to check back often.
Let the giveaway begin…

Fun giveaway!
I happened to find your blog on Emily’s blog a long time ago. And I found Emily from Tara Whitney’s blog. It’s like all my blog worlds are colliding! How fun that you got to meet each other. The pictures are so fun.

Hi!
I have been reading your blog for awhile now and am so inspired by you. I love reading what your are up to. Thanks so much for writing!
As for this weekend, we spent today hiking in the woods. I am not sure what the plans are for the rest of it but it was a great family time for us and we got to see a lot of deer!
Thanks for the great giveaway! I love her straps. They are beautiful.

July 11 is my birthday, what a great present that would be! Lol. The strap is gorgeous. I found your blog after I stumbled across your Happy Foody blog. It wasn’t until much later that I noticed you had GCM listed as one of your happy places. I’m a member of GCM as well. I was just marveling last night over the craziness of coming across your blog randomly and then noticing a link to GCM on it. Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Hi!
I found your site through Emily’s site:) Love what you are doing, especially your food site. I am getting more and more inspired to eat raw and I loved the coleslaw! I’m also curious about the exact proportions you put in your wipes container, i.e., Dr. Bronner’s etc.? Do you keep track?
4
2008
Sara, I found your blog through Simpleliving.net. I have followed your story from the beginning and I am truly awed and inspired by you and your family. Today is my hubby’s birthday but he is deployed to the Persian Gulf but me and my son are still making a cake, having a picnic and will watch the fireworks. I am trying to teach my son to love each day no matter the difficulties we are face with. I look forward to your continuing journey.
Cheers,
Heather

I don’t remember how I found your site… I found Happy Foody first though, I know that.
Happy 4th of July!

Hello! I found your blog via Gluten Free Frugal and the first post I read was “The Alternative”…followed by all the archives and flickr pics! I had been thinking about dreading my hair a lot in the past few years and I couldn’t pass on your story! Thanks for offering up a giveaway!
4
2008
Wow, I never de-lurk but these are too fun. Thanks for always giving us a great way to follow along all of your travels and inspirations
See you this summer!

2008
Thank you for introducing Emily’s blog to me. I absolutely love it!

Hi Sara- I really enjoy reading your blog. We have a way back connection through OLBC and Shawn A. Glad to see all that you are doing these days. Very inspiring!
4
2008
I love your blog and that you encourage a lifestyle I can really stand behind.
My fiance are currently trying to plan a very simple wedding for under $1,000, employing all of our friends to help out and share in the celebration of love. Getting back to the basics, in a way. One of my dearest friends is a professional photographer (http://www.ericlaurits.com/) and he has gratuitously agreed to shoot our wedding. These straps are the perfect “Thank You” gift. I plan on getting him one, and several of his photog friends that I’ve befriended over the years! THANK YOU so much for the wonderful idea. Keep up the great work on the blog.
My best,
Jenn

I really enjoy your blog!! Check in frequently…and have used some of your recipes and food ideas…with plans to try out more!!
And we just got back from a quick overnight trip to Aiken, SC to visit with friends we used to live near in Richland, WA…and had not seen in a decade!! Their grown son close in age to our older 2 children also came over from Charlotte!! It was SO FUN and we never came up for air…all of us talking our heads off!! MORE we could have shared had we time too. They and we have made lots of changes in our lives…and they, like we, have food allergies and are always looking for new ideas, etc. They took us to their health food stores…what fun!! SO that is how we spent our 3rd/4th. (We also wanted to see Aiken cause we could be transferred there this fall…and it IS an amazing town…one of the most beautiful we have seen…you surely would enjoy it, were you ever back in this area again!!) Happy travels!!

Hi Sara-I found your blog through the Mothering forums and have been inspired ever since. I have also been reading Emily and Tara’s blogs. I have been inspired by all of you ladies-your creativity and total commitment to self-expression. Thank you for putting yourself out there, your experiences (and those of Emily and Tara) have inspired me to open myself up and try new things. Over the last year I was working in child welfare and during that time I became very disconnected from myself and the world around me, your blogs have inspired me to try to heal and to forgive myself for not being stronger.
Thanks, Katrina

I have been wanting one of these forever! And my b-day is July 10–pick me! Pick me!
4
2008
I do hope your family has a lovely holiday.
I’ve been looking for a good camera strap for along time. I know what’s going to be on my Christmas list this year!
We have read the Declaration of Independence today. We haven’t decided if we will go out into the city and see what’s happening or not. We did get some bread dough going for pizza later though.

2008
This weekend I will be finishing prep for my mission trip to the Czech Republic - I will be teaching conversational English and sharing Christ with students from one of the most atheistic cultures in Europe! So excited - this is my second trip out there.
Unfortunately I am in the UK so you may not want to mail anything to me if I was to win! (Although as I’m visiting the States later this summer I could provide a state-side address). I thought I’d delurk nonetheless!
4
2008
I just wanted to say Happy 4th and now I must run to tell all my photog friends about her wonderful site and this giveaway! I’d give to one of them if I win!

I’ve been following your journey for a while and was so sorry to have missed you in Seattle. If I don’t win this camera strap, I think I might have to figure out how to make one.
Thanks!
4
2008
Ooohhhhh! Pretty!
I think I was cruising for ‘environmantal’ blogs for my library science course about the internet when I stumbled across yours.
It’s so good I subscribed :o)
This week-end looks like more painting this time the office, and weeding. Now that the vegetable garden looks good it is time to get the flower beds in order before beginning the new project….
4
2008
Are you kidding me?
A gen-u-ine EF camera strap???
I think I found you through EF, actually.
My fave thing about summer? My gardens!
4
2008
i actually just picked up your blog a few days ago; i like it because it’s relxing and reminds me–inspires me–to go slower. and honestly that strap, if i had it, would go to my mom so fast the colors would blur.
4
2008
Beautiful strap–too bad my poor little Cannon A360 doesn’t need it.:)
I don’t remember how I found your blog but I have been reading ever since–so excited to find yet another Christian unschooling family.
4
2008
i have the boring factory-issued camera strap and would love to jazz it up. great giveaway!
4
2008
What do you say to someone who has challenged and inspired you in so many ways and yet you’ve never met?! From tats, to dreads, to rawness, to living in an RV, its been so fun to read of your adventures. I know our paths will cross in eternity, if not in “real” life.
I think I would give the strap to my dearest friend who’s been battling a rare form of blood cancer in her brain. I think she’s forgotten her love and skill of photography, maybe it would inspire her during this trying time. The strap’s colors are so hopeful.
4
2008
Oooh…I love it! Pick me please!
4
2008
Hey! I found you a while back through Emily about your Live Lightly Tour. You are an inspiration to me.
Today was a boring day for me. The ol hubster is a new doctor and had to work an all day shift
We did get to go to a bbq though and will be seeing some fireworks. Happy 4th!
4
2008
OOH, Fun giveaway!! I would love to win.
Hmmm, something fun to tell…I am in bed, while my hubby takes the kids to see fireworks, and I am enjoying the silence (the kind that roars in your ears!!) and catching up on my reading/blogs soooo much!!!
And I miss you!!! I can’t wait to see you again!!!!!
4
2008
Hello~
Those straps are adorable! I just got my first SLR and think it would inspire me to use my camera more!!
This weekend I get to relax with my family. My husband and I are just starting two weeks with them - then we’re off to Australia
I have no idea how I found your blog, but it’s become a staple in my google reader!
Happy Weekend!!

Hello! I actually found your blog through one of my girlfriends at church. My husband and I have 43 acres of land that we farm on and we are building earthships in Ohio…So naturally I found your blog to be very up my alley
I gave birth to my daughter Sunny at home 2 weeks ago.I really enjoy reading your blog ..It’s very very inspiring

I think I came across your blog last year, maybe thru my friend Jess, who was living in China with us at the time. We are still in China, but she is gone. As for this weekend, we plan to have some friends over for dessert, and stay out of the heat. Thanks for your blog - I continually resonate with your values and lifestyle, and think we could be great pals. My sister-in-law is eating raw now too, inspired by your choices too. So thanks for sharing! If you ever are in the neighborhood, come visit!
4
2008
Sara, I’m pretty sure you’re one of the first blogs I ever read. I think I found you through mothering when you blogged your downsize to apartment 1. I’ve enjoyed following your story, that of another Christ-following family trying to live simply and abundantly.

Hi Sara,
Laurel said you are coming back to Statesboro. I look forward to seeing you again. Debbie Bailey (Laurel’s Mom)

4
2008
emily is a true inspiration to me..I’ve come to your blog sara via emily’s blog. I just love the organic feel emily has in her art…her blog grabs my heart through photos and I feel as if I’ve known her for many years even though we’ve never met. I thank her for bringing to your blog now..looking forward to meeting a new friend.
4
2008
Hi Sara! That strap is so cool…I love the colors…I found your site a year ago while googling simplicity, and it has been such a blessing…I love your writing style and relate to your view point. I admire you for being authentic and living your dreams…and challenging others to question what society tells us is the norm. Keep growing and learning and thanks for sharing your wonderful story with us!

Happy Independence Day!
My dogs are freaking out with the fireworks and my baby is sucking my toe. She is almost 8 months and has a *temper,* so if I make her stop, she will scream and scream and scream. Good thing my toe is clean.
These camera straps are so beautiful!
4
2008
Well, that strap looks like something a pro should wear. I’m still just a rookie when it comes to photography, but would love to spiff up my Canon with a fancy schmancy strap like that.
4
2008
What a beautiful camera strap! I didn’t even know something like this existed.
I started up with photography about 6 months ago and have really enjoyed learning how to take better pictures. I especially love shopping for new additions to my camera. Thanks for introducing me to this and I’m excited to read more on your blog as well!

I will happily come out of lurkdom when there’s a giveaway involved! I’ve been reading your blog for a year or two now, and I have no memory of what combination of links got me here, but I’ve been reading ever since. This weekend we are staying home and playing hooky from everything, and just reconnecting as a family.
4
2008
Not sure if my last comment posted…
But I found your blog about 1 year and a hlaf ago through a simplifying thread on Mothering.com and was thoroughly inspired by your moves, your decorating prowess and your love for God! Keep on keeping on! We spent the day packing for our move to PA this coming Monday and finished up the day with some fireworks - fun stuff!
4
2008
I just found you thru Emily’s site and I’m hoping to be able to look thru some of your stuff soon. Her straps are gorgeous and I’m hoping to save up and get one once our bills are caught up. I have the perfect friend to get one for too so if I win I think I’ll give that one to her and save up for my own later.
4
2008
What a beautiful strap! I love it
We did some fireworks with friends and grilled out today. Rebecca

2008
Lovely give-away! I think Emily’s stuff is fab! Anyway, some little obscure info about me - I have a freckle on the bottom of my left foot (or is it my right? I can’t remember and it’s the middle of winter and it’s too cold to take off my shoes and check LOL!)
4
2008
Cant remember how I found your site…. Had a great 4th with the kids watching fireworks and building a couple of Chicken tractors for our new chickens!
4
2008
I found your blog ages ago, when I googled “cloth toilet paper.” I was looking for more tips on “greening” up my home and I had head about cloth toilet paper…and I though huh? How does one go about this?!?!?! Well I got my tips from you and I have been an avid reader ever since…in fact, I have one of your blogs, about pride printed out and up on my fridge to remind my family and I how powerful humility can be…so thank you…for the many many bits of wisdom!

recently fell in love with your green smoothie recipes…LOVIN’ the sneaky spinach for my little boys…left you a comment about it on your foodie blog…thanks for the chance for the cool strap!!
4
2008
Oooh, fun giveaway!
I found your blog through the Mothering forums way back when - maybe 2 1/2 years ago? I can’t remember for sure. But I’ve read ever since (mostly as a lurker).
As for this weekend, I am solo parenting while my husband is away, so I am watching two four year-old boys and trying to prepare my sermon for Sunday. No holiday weekend for me!
4
2008
Someone shared your link on my mommy board. What a great blog. But even better is that sexy camera strap! So since you asked for anything, here it is as cheesy as can be:
Roses are red, violets are blue. It’s Fourth Oh July, and this ones for you!
=-) XXOO. ope your holiday is a great one!!!!!
4
2008
I have been following your blog for quite some time. I am not sure how I found your blog, but I am stuck!
We did a whole lot of nothing for the 4th, but tomorrow we are getting down with our bad selves for my son’s 3rd birthday. (Superman cake will be served with homemade icing, how much cooler can we get? heheh)
4
2008
Oh my. Simply gorgeous. I’ll take one, please.
Today we went to my grandparent’s farm for a big fourth of July party.
so fun.
have a great one, Sara.
4
2008
Hi Sarah! I’ve been a reader for over a year now. I can’t tell you how much you have inspired me in so many areas of my life. I constantly tell people about you, your family, and the adventure that you are on. They kind of look at me weird when I tell them that I’ve never met you or even corresponded with you, for that matter.
Anyway, I’d love to be entered into the contest. I love photography and have been inspired often by the photos that you share here. Thanks for all that you share with us and the ministry that you have here.
~Nicki

2008
I found your blog from visiting Emily’s:) I was just thinking about getting one of these straps! I’ve been taking photos of my niece and nephew the past 2 days - and decided I needed a fancy way to tote around the dSLR!
4
2008
This weekend, our daughter & her fiance are visiting - we’ll be doing some golfing and some fishing (tho, the guys will be fishing and daughter & I will be doing some photography and sketching).
HAPPY JULY!!!

2008
I’ve been reading your blog for quite a while. I had found it by coming across photos of your small (& adorable decorated!) home on Flickr. I’ve been reading Emily’s blog since the end of ‘07 (from Tara’s). Aaaannyway, I admire you guys for the things you’ve decided to do and would love to meet you one day. I think we would get along great.
Oh! And I’m a photographer/SAH-homeschooling-Mom and would loooove this gorgeous strap!!

2008
Great giveaway! I’ve enjoyed reading your blogs for quite a while now and am always so inspired by what you have to say. Happy 4th!

2008
I have been following your blog for a while now. I think someone shared the link on a messageboard when we were talking about living in small spaces. You are so inspiring. I was amazed at how you fit everything together in your home and it was just beautiful as well.
5
2008
Hi Sara! I’ve been reading your blog since you posted on the simple living discussion forums. Love Happy Foody as well as your following your travels. Your adventurous spirit is inspiring!
I have also been enjoying Em’s blog as my husband and I just had our first child in April. It’s fun watching Yindi grow up.
5
2008
Hello Sara, came to you thru Emily’s blog. You were so lucky to meet her, she seems like one of those people you would instantly like. Her art is great! Can’t wait to read more about you and your family. Take Care
5
2008
great idea for a giveaway, thanks.
My favourite thing about summer is coming home from work when it’s still light. being able to sit in the garden after a long day at work with my family is a pleasure
5
2008

5
2008
Hi Sara
How blessed you were to be able to stay with Em and her gorgeous family!
July 11th is my brotherinlaw’s birthday and as he has been very sick, I would love to be able to give him one of Em’s very special camera straps!
It is Winter here in AUstralia, lots of wonderous rugged up outings with my two girls Mia and Ella 7 and 6!
Thanks for taking the time to run this competition
Love

You’re picking the winner on my 35th birthday, so I hope I’m the winner. It’ll only be appropriate, after all.
I love the encouragement your site give me to live less encumbered. Thank you!

Well, this weekend I’m going to a cook-out and will see some of my friends that I haven’t seen face-to-face in months, so that’ll be pretty cool
I’m definitely loving the cool camera straps and will pass the link on to all my photo friends…

Hi,i really love Em’s camera strap.i am a photographer and i really would like to have one,here in italy nobody has it!
It will be cool to say “Oh yes this strap is made by Emily Flaconbridge..”.
5
2008
Thanks so much for a chance at such a fun giveaway! I love her straps as well and was just thinking of getting one anyways.
I linked to your blog from Emily’s
5
2008
I’ve been reading your blog for maybe a year now. I’ve learned so much, and I appreciate that it is a Christian perspective. All the pretty photos of your tiny apartment in Montana got me hooked, and gave me fresh eyes for all the possibilities for our small house. I’ve actually been a reader of Ali Edwards blog for several years. It’s funny how things connect. Anyway, that strap would look fabulous with the camera I just ordered! Have a great day!
5
2008
Summer means fresh fruits and veggies!! Salads are never the same.
5
2008
Good morning Sara,
Here’s my plan today: I’m leaving my 1 year old and 3 year old with my hubby so that I can take my 4 year old to the library. These are the books on my list:
* The new David Sedaris book! (When you are engulfed in flames)
* A hilarious children’s book: Little Pea — the story of a little pea who is forced to eat candy for dinner
* The essence of paradise : fragrant plants for indoor gardens
* The ultimate book of homeschooling ideas : 500+ fun and creative learning activities for kids ages 3-12
* Playful parenting : a bold new way to nurture close connections, solve behavior problems, and encourage children’s confidence
* The hundred-year lie : how to protect yourself from the chemicals that are destroying your health
* And of course, whatever else catches my eye
I wear my huge Nikon like an accessory and really need to spruce up my wardrobe — but as part of my simple life I am not buying anything for awhile
Help me please!
Thanks and have a great day!

Hi Sara…..I love reading your blog. Your adventures and the information you share are such a source of inspiration for me…..so thank you!!
5

After yesterday’s birthday celebration for my baby who turned 5, we’ll spend the rest of the having lots of fun and laughing and just hanging out. That’s what I love about summer, taking it easy and being carefree:)

2008
Hi Sara Love ur site

i would love one of her straps. i found your blog through em’s. i’ve been following her life for a while now i can follow yours too.
5
2008
that strap is gorgeous!
i just love em’s blog.
my favorite thing about summer is that it stays light out here until about 10pm! those last couple hours are my favorite!
5
2008
I’d love to win that strap!:)
5
2008
My favorite thing about summer? Warm weather so I can be outside in the garden, taking walks, or riding my bike around town.
5
2008
Wow, what a great giveaway! By reading all of your blogs over the past year or two, I’ve off and on created my own blog. I don’t feel like I’m good at it, but I’m committed to learning how to express myself well!
5
2008
just found your site!!! I too covet Emily’s photo straps!!! Your blog is loverly!!!
5
2008
the strap is divine! came over via flipflops and applesauce! Cheers! Love Em’s straps too!
5
2008
Ooh, the straps are funky!
Tomorrow I’m flying to New Orleans for the week to attend a conference as an interpreter. I’m very excited about seeing friends at the conference and returning to my birthplace. =D
I believe I found your blog via the Cage Free Family.
My favorite thing about summer, especially in Vermont, is that everything is sooooo greeeeeen that it feels like we are in Hawaii. I also love the fact that we can always hit the local swimming hole whenever it gets too hot for us to handle. =)
Something about me…I had a nipple ring which I *LOVED* but had to take off after just one year due to the fact that I was expecting a baby and didn’t want the hassle of taking the ring on and off each time I breastfed my baby. When I’m done with kids, getting another nipple ring will be my first priority!
5
2008
Hi
I love Emily’s blog also. I saw her on a DIY show I think called “Scrapped” and she looked so beautiful and the accent what a talented lady.

5
2008
This looks so fun. I have always admired Emily’s camera straps, but have yet bought one.
I believe I found your blog once before through another blogger. One of the things I love about summer is spending the evenings outside and watching the fireflies.
5
2008
I checked these out when you mentioned them before and loved them. Not sure if they’d look a bit giant with my itsy camera but one would look fab on my sister’s!
5
2008
I am new reader who found your blog through another blog, SoupSpoon. You have definitely inspired me to evaluate what I buy, what I eat, what I put on my skin. I am making changes, small as they may seem to me. I love how you are sharing your life with others through this blog.
Thank you!

I found your website through a dear friend of mine, both of us striving to be green mamas, so with both keep up with your blog weekly.
I am a novice photographyer, inspired by my growing family. I am in love with learning to catch my toddler in journalistic fashion. I can’t soak up my appetite for it; so admiring your work has been very inspirational. Great straps! Keep up the good work.

Hi Sara! I haven’t posted on here in a while, but I have been reading both here and on the Live Lightly Tour website. I love these camera straps! I think I’m going to order a few for gifts for birthdays and Christmas! I have several photographers in my family that would love them, including me! Thanks for posting about them here! I hope everything’s going great with life on the road!
God Bless!

I have been inspired by this blog and happyfoody. I am not ‘raw food’ yet but since we have food allergies i thought- gee what a great way to just make life simpler. I guess this comment would be better on your other blog- but hey- i’m always up for a freebie chance;) and i do love to take pictures!

Now THAT is dang cute.
My favorite thing about summer is the sunshine and all that it entails. Even the sunburns feel happy.

Hi Sara! I just wanted to tell you that since stumbling across your blog, I have been inspired to take a look at the way my family and I live our day to day lives and to start making changes. I admire what you have been able to do, and hope to continue to follow your example and make changes for the better! Hugs, Beth in Ohio.

I have found your blog h-u-g-e-l-y inspiring. Emily’s blog has been one of my favorite’s for the last couple of years, and that is how I happened upon yours. My hubby and I own a natural health centre in AB, Canada and I am as crazy about good food as you are. Wish you could come visit up this way… the mom’s group at our church is focusing on healthy eating and a raw food lifestyle. I have been able to tell a few of them about your happyfoody blog.

WOW! I have been stalking these for a long time (fingers crossed). Something random about me - I am the mother of 3 little boys and I made them so proud on the 4th during the all-church football game. I got 4 flags!! (Who cares that mommy is a doctor - I ROCKED on the football field!)

Those straps are rockin’. I love them!
About my weekend? My weekend was spent taking hundreds of photos as we welcomed home my cousin on leave from Iraq. Quite the perfect Independence day weekend for us. I so hope yours went well too

I have been following you for a year or so. I think I first found you when I went into attachement parenting searches online. Then again I found you when I was looking for vegan folk, and raw food folks online.
I have finally convinced my husband to start saving to pay for our own RV. We will be debt free next month (all in a goal to travel the country!) and all extra income will be saved for the RV fund. In the summer of 2010, we hope to be where you were last year! Wish us luck!
And thank you for the wonderful opportunity to win something!

Wow, what a great giveaway! I just love the red and orange combo (my fav) - hope Em will have some on her etsy site soon in this pattern if I’m not the lucky winner. Took time this weekend for “me” time - a little scrappin’, golfing and local parades and fireworks. Heading off this afternoon for a BBQ.

Hi! I found you recently, but I honestly don’t remember how– clicking from one blogrolll to the other, I imagine. I’m enjoying your posts when they pop up on my reader.
We live in the Ozark Mountains and just finished a lovely 4th– fireworks, the 26th annual turtle race, and a kids’ bicycle parade on the square. My two year old was thrilled with all of it; I was too, but I am very happy to have a quiet day at home today.

Hi there!
I found your site through Emily’s. I absolutely adore her camera straps and have been saving to get one, but I am having trouble deciding which one to get, they are all so lovely. I saw this red one and loved it immediately! So of course, I had to post to be in the draw.
I have had a quick skim of your blog while I have been here, love it! Have subbed it to my bloglines to I can keep updated.
Oh and you asked about fav Summer things…. well it’s hard to think of as it’s winter here in Aus, but I would have to say it’s family time, really important to me!

Dear Sara,
I can’t remember how I found your blog, but I’ve been reading it maybe for 3 months now and absolutely love the way you honestly try to live a better life than what the “world” wants you too. Lots of love from Santiago, Chile.
