2012 Designer Mystery Blog Hop: Wrapping Up

259 Comments

This is it! We’ve come to the last game post in our 2012 Designer Mystery blog hop!

We hope you had fun hopping along with us to visit all twelve of our amazing block designers’ blogs. When you come back tomorrow, the winners of those blog hop posts and the grand prize winner of today’s post will be announced.

First, a big THANK YOU to our twelve designers for designing our lovely Designer Mystery quilt and being good sports for our guessing game – I know you had as much fun as we did in guessing their Vintage Modern items! Though, we may have narrowly missed a medical emergency with Aneela from the entertaining comments she got. 😉

Without further ado, our grand prize blog hop post! We felt we should have more than one vintage modern item for you to guess since the prize (also a mystery until tomorrow) is a doozy.

This one is from Jessica: My grandmother left this to me after she died so I will always hold it close to my heart. In Arabic, Hebrew and Russian cultures it is the birthstone for June.

This one is from Debbie: This vintage item looks sort of like a lunchbox, but is not meant for kids. It was a tradition for my dad and uncles to pull this out from the basement during the holidays although other people might pull it out a lot more often.

This one is from Stephanie: This helps bring life to the world you’re viewing. It is a newer invention, but the style is vintage. This item was handed to me when I went to a specific location.

You have 24 hours from the time this posts to get your guesses in the comments! Be sure to check out our Designer Mystery block of the month too – don’t miss out on this pretty piece out of Bonnie & Camille’s Vintage Modern! Come back tomorrow for our twelve Layer Cake winners and grand prize winner… we’re crossing our fingers for you!

    2) I am going to guess a liquor box- I was going to say a featherweight machine case but then the uncle's using it threw me off…
    3) 3 D glasses

  116. Jessica's item is an alexandrite mecklace. Debbie's may be a cigar box, and Stephanie's looks like 3D glasses. Thanks for the chance to win!

  122. 1) lavendar chalcedony gemstone pendant for a necklace. Some sources may call this gemstone agate, sardonyx, etc.
    2) certificate of authenticity written in English and metal clasp – could be for fine liquor such as Scotch whiskey, bourbon, brandy or cognac – which will store OK in a basement over the years. I don't know a lot about basements because we cannot have them in our area of FL. We would never put a tobacco product in a basement and keep it over the years so ruled out cigar box.
    3- 3-d glasses

    Please, Please, Kimberly, no more guessing game giveaways.

  123. Jessica- Chalcedony jewelry.

    Jessica–Alexandrite Necklace
    Debbie–Cigar Box
    Stephanie– 3-D glasses

  131. Eek, these are tough!

    THis has been a lot of fun. Thanks for the hop and the great mystery quilt.

  148. This has been so much fun. I believe the first is Chalcedony stone, probably in the form of a necklace. Second looks like a cigar box or humidor. Third is black horn-rimmed 3D glasses. Love your shop. Love your blog. Thank you for all the fabulous things.

  149. I got many conflicting answers for #1 on google. I'm going to pick the most likely and say #1 is a Chalcedony pendant.

    #2. I don't know any cigar boxes with clasps, but I have seen some really awesome cigar boxes made into purses. I used to have one. My guess for #2 is a Cigar Box Purse.

    2. Cigar Box – the "certifi…" had me searching, but I found some vintage "Original Bond Certified Cigar" boxes, so I'm guessing that the term "certified" is used in conjunction with cigars much like "genuine" is used leather and I couldn't find any harmonica boxes that used that term.

  201. Thanks for the game!
    FOr Jessica's, I did a lot of research to find that Chalcedony is a type of Agate and is the Zodiac stone for most of June. The Hebrew breastplate corresponded with the Zodiac. So, took some searching and I learned a lot 🙂

    For Debbie – I'm guessing a safe box holding family memories and fragile pictures and momentos.

    And for Stephanie, it's 3D glasses – how fun!

    sharonhuismith @ yahoo.com

  202. I thought these were challenging items:

    Jessica's – Chalcedony pendant
    Debbie's – Cigar box
    Stephanie's 0 3-D glasses

    This has been a wonderful blog hop, I have enjoyed going to each blog and trying to guess what the item was (there were a few that I just gave up on). Thank you very much for the chance to win.

  203. I think Jessica's is a Chalcedony pendent, for Debbie's my guess is a cigar box, and lastly for Stephanie I'm thinking 3D glasses. Thanks for some great items and for organizing such a fun blog hop!

    rhianneholmes(at)hotmail(dot)com

    Carol

  209. debra said—#1 is a chalcedony(agate)pendant ring or necklace
    #2 a humidor with cigar cutter
    #3 3 d glasses
    What great fun it has been playing

  210. I believe that Jessica's item is a brooch/pin with a Chalcedony stone in it.

    Debbie's item is a concertina. They're about the size of a lunch box.

    Stephanie's item is a pair of 3D glasses. I have the cutest picture of my 3 year old granddaughter, Eliza, wearing 3D glasses while watching Shrek on 3D TV on Christmas Eve.

  211. The first thing looks like a pendant. The second item appears to be a cigar box and the third thing looks like three dimensional glasses. Thanks for the giveaway.

  213. This really has been so fun! Here are my guesses…such as they are:
    1) An Agate necklace
    2) Since it was the grandpa and uncles who enjoyed it I am guessing a cigar box
    3) 3-D glasses

    Thank you so much for all of the fun and the chance at the giveaway!

  214. 1 – alexandrite pendant
    2 – a box for holding some expensive whiskey or rum or other alcoholic beverage
    3 – 3D glasses

    such a fun blog hop 🙂

  215. This has been fun….some were easier to guess than others….hoping my guesses are good ones…

    #1 Alexandrite necklace
    #2 Cigar box made into a purse
    #3 3D glasses

    Thank you Kimberly

  217. the first is Chalcedony jewelry, which seems to cover a lot of stones.

    Second I am very much torn over a nice adult beverage or cigar box.
    Both the kids can't have. The clasp makes say it is adult beverage box, the certificate looks like cigar. I'm going with a very special adult beverage box.

    Thrid is 3D glasses.

    Thank you for the fun and making me use my brain (even if I'm not right), doing research on things vintage, through the hop!

  218. What a fun time I've had. I can't wait to see the answers revealed. Today's guesses are:
    1 Chalcedony stone jewelry
    2 Cigar box
    3 3D Glasses

  221. Haha, at first I thought the purple was part of a corset before I read the hint. 😮 Now I'd guess a Chaledoney pendant. 2. looks like a cigar box, but if it was stored in the basement, maybe its a good liquor. 😉 3. #D glasses~ and I agree, some of them look almost nerdy! Thanks for the fun!

  222. I think 1. is a chalcedony pendant 2. is a humidor and 3. is a pair of 3-d glasses. Thanks for the game, it's been fun.

  223. 1. Chalcedony stone piece of jewelry…either a ring or pendent
    2. I would say an accordian
    3. 3d glasses….

    for a moment I thought #2 might be a train set…but after thinking about it, went with my gut on cigar box.

    Great blog hop! It's been a ton of fun!

  232. My guesses are–
    For Jessica, her vintage piece is alexandrite jewelry.

    For Debbie, I am guessing a humidor/cigar box.

    For Stephanie, I am guessing 3D glasses.

    Fun blog hop!

  234. Ok, hear goes 😉

    I think Jessica's is:
    an Chalcedony or Alexandrite pendant

    I think Debbie's is:
    A cigar box

    And Stephanie's is:
    3D glasses

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  236. Ok…so they are not opera glasses..didn't catch the first part of the clue…alexandrite pendant, cigar box, 3-D glasses. Lisa in Texas

  243. Thanks for all the fun and the giveaways! Here's my guesses:
    Jessica – Alexandrite Moonstone
    Debbie – Cigar Box
    Stephanie – 3-D glasses

  244. 1. Cheledoney jewelry
    2. humidor/cigar box
    3. glasses

    This has been a really hard contest but not nearly as hard as trying to post now-I think your security words are too difficult to read.

  245. I wish you would identify the vintage items from the Blog Hop —some of them were pretty puzzling. Thanks!
    P.S. I am really NOT fond of the new two word verifications!!

  248. Jessica- alexandrite necklace
    Debbie- a cigar box!
    Stephanie- 3-D glasses

    awesome job with the blog hop & giveaways! thanks.

  250. Hmmm
    1)A chalcedony pendant
    2)Something for the menfolk stored in the basement could be a box of sports equipment of some kind – the balls for billiards or snooker?
    3)3D glasses for the cinema!

    Hope I'm lucky

  252. 1) lavendar chalcedony gemstone necklace.
    2) liquor box with certificate of authenticity and metal clasp
    3- 3-d glasses

  253. Hmm…I'm guessing the first one is an Agate/Chalcedony pendant, the second is a box of slides/photos, and the third is 3D glasses.

  255. Ok – some things were kinda easy, one wasn't.

    #1: Alexandrite pendant necklace
    #2: cigar box
    #3: polarized glasses aka 3D glasses (since shutter-glasses would look way different and there are just those two technologies that are common nowadays)

  259. I see a lovely chalcedony pendant; and, a lovely… from the clues I believe it to be something to do with drinking or smoking ("…not meant for kids…") but since I don't do either I really am at a loss; and, a lovely pair of 3D glasses.
