300... It's For the Birds

It’s GIVEAWAY time!!!


I’ve reached my 300th post and as a Thank You for taking your time to come by and visit with me, I have some little bird pretties that I would love to share with you.


A sweet little bird dish,
a couple of yards each of seam binding in a soft brown, pink and green,
four mini, speckled pink eggs,
and three tiny little vials of german glass glitter in silver, pink and blush.


I have a luscious bar of soap from Tokyo Milk.


Also, a 1911 issue of Bird Lore (May – June),
a yard of ribbon,
two pretty millinery roses,
and a smattering of buttons in green, pink and white.


And I made a little wall hanging, just for you.
I’m sure I will put a few more goodies in before shipping it off.

Here are the deets…
I’m heading off to my parent’s paradise island bright and early tomorrow morning (ahem… a little too bright and early for my taste, but you see, it’s a little known fact that Farmboys must go diving as soon as humanly possible, once they touch Caribbean soil).
So, you have until I return home to leave a comment to enter.
If you blog about it and then come back and let me know that you did, I’ll pop your name in twice.

We get home on the 9th, but we get home ridiculously late (because, and I believe it’s a little known fact, that girls named Alisa must linger on the beach, under the palm trees, for as long as humanly possible before boarding a Caribbean leaving plane).
So seeing how the 10th is a special day around here anyway, it being the Graduate’s 18th birthday, we’ll make it that much more special and I’ll draw a winning name that morning.
Sound good?


See you back here on the 10th!



P.S. Of course those of you outside of the U.S. can enter too.
I wouldn't leave y'all out!

Alisa, I won one of your earlier giveaways...some lovely trim and a journal that is so pretty! I use that journal here next to my computer to record the names and addresses of my blogging friends with whom I've so delightfully become also a snail mail friend!

Congratulations on your 300th post!

Although it feels wrong to de-lurk just to try for a prize, I lurves me some birdies sooo much. Seriously, congratulations on 300 beautiful and inspiring posts. I drop in whenever I need a pick-me-up or a big dose of femininity. (Often needed as I'm outnumbered in my house - a husband and two sons. Even the cat is a boy)
