Dear Readers, Friends, Designers and Store Owners,

As October gets under way, we want to get the word out to all of you that we're taking submissions for four more days (through Tuesday, October 11th) for our 2011 Holiday Giveaway, which will kick off in November. It's our way of saying thank you to the stores and designers we love. Last year was our biggest year ever, with over 120 gifts given away from small and large homes shops across the country in just four weeks. If you're interested in knowing more, or if you're ready to submit a gift for consideration now, please scroll down to the very bottom of this post.

What You Raised: $11,858

Now What? Thanks to everyone who donated through Apartment Therapy's DonorsChoose.org page to help fund public school classrooms around the country. Our goal was to raise $10,000, but you all blew us away and we ended up raising almost 12,000. So, just like we promised, the Apartment Therapy full-time staff is going to put together a little dance video for you. We're getting our moves on right now, so look for the celebratory video on TUESDAY. See you then!
