GIVEAWAY TIME!!!

If I don't get going on this I will have to call it my two year's of blogging celebration instead of one year. I'm also celebrating 100 followers as a thank you. I truly appreciate all of you who follow my blog and share comments. It has been fun meeting so many new people through blogging and sharing our common interests. When I want to get inspired I just visit your blogs and before I know it I'm heading for my studio with a million ideas. Here's the loot, and I guess the theme is roses!



Four dainty little hand towels with embroidered roses...




Close-ups of the towels...



And two packages of Wallies.



Below are some close-ups of the Wallies...









And don't forget the little set of pink floral tea ornaments and the note pad I showed you earlier. Sorry, but the little box is white even though it appears to be pink in the photo, but wouldn't it be fun the make it pink and decorate it when you get it!




To have your name thrown in the hat and get one entry for each of the following:



  • Comment on this post telling me what you like most to collect;



  • Follow my blog and let me know in the post you are following;



  • Post info for my giveaway on your blog and let me know that you have done so.

This can all be done in one comment. No extra points for posting multiple times. Also, I feel really bad about this and must say how sorry I am, but due to higher postal rates I must limit the giveaway to the US and Canada.



Let's see, have I missed anything? This is my first giveaway, so if you think of anything I've forgotten please remind me. The drawing will be September 17 so that gives you two weeks to enter.

That helps most of the time??? "I REALLY,REALLY LOVE all the goodies in this giveaway"!!! Thank you for letting my dream of winning!!!

Hello Connie :) Goodness gracious, this is one fabulous giveaway you are having! When I saw all these wonderful rose themed items I knew I had to enter this!! My most FAVORITE thing to collect is just about anything with pink roses :) I am a follower of your blog, and I just put your giveaway picture on my sidebar, with a link back to this post. I am soooooo crossing my fingers in hopes that I will be the lucky winner :)

Hope you have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

Warmest hugs, Brenda

melissa said...

This is total loveliness. Even one of the gifts you're offering is enough...more than enough! :)

Thanks for the opportunity to try!

As to collections...I do have a passion for always selecting fabric with flowers on it. And for a more solid collection, it'd have to be books. Always books.

I will post about the give-away on my blog in a minute, and already follow you. :)

Take care, and again, thanks!

Diane said...

How lovely everything is! As others have said, one item alone would be more than enough.

I have a weakness for old linens, and collect vintage pillowcases - the ones with embroidery and/or cutwork.

Christina J. said...

Wow, what a beautiful giveaway! I collect vintage amateur oil paintings and crewel work. I guess I could say I collect jewelry, too!

parTea lady said...

Those embroidered towels are beautiful. I like the Anna Griffin wallies too - she designs such pretty things.

I am now a follower. Thank you for your great giveaway.

What a lovely bunch of beauties! I adore pink roses and so wish I could grow my own! Alas, too much shade in my fenced garden and too many deer without! Let's see my favorite is the embroidered towels, so pretty, but the wallies are a very close second. I know just what I would use some of those on...an old suitcase! I do follow you as a "follower" and on Bloglovin. Thank you, Connie!

Hi Connie--Just found your blog from Pat Winter Gatherings. Such lovely stuff! I'll be bookmarking it to come back to often.

I formally collect two things, and a bunch of other things informally. My "official" collections are turtle figurines and glass art (and in particular, lately, handmade marbles). I informally collect some Hallmark Christman ornaments, embroidery scissors, threads and fabric and needlework patterns and kits--oh wait! That's my stash! But I really do collect the scissors.

Thanks for offering a lovely giveaway. I love the ornaments!

Hi, Connie! happy 1st blogoversary! and you have more than 100 followers right now- that's for sure- because I'm following, too:)
Awesome little rosy treasures-thank you for the opportunity!
I collect fabric:))sometimes I hesitate to cut it because I want to continue having it in my closet-silly, but it's how it is. Needlework charts, linens, ribbons go with it as well.
But I think I'd like to collect white bird figurines-I just have started.
