Happy Valentines Day and a WINNER!


I wanted to pop into blog-land and wish you all a

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

I know it isn't until Saturday, but who knows what I will be doing then so I thought
I would tell you now.

Also, friends...please spread the love!

There are so many people who are hurting from loss of  a spouse, family problems, job loss etc
and a little kindness goes a long way. Often it is the little things we do that help cheer up a
 broken heart. A heart that has been battered about in life's storms and seemingly sometimes
 there is no end. God loves each and every one of you and you are in my thoughts and prayers!

***********************************************

The winner of my Valentine Giveaway is Diane from AUGCOTT blog. I have been in
contact with her and the winning goodies are ready to head out tomorrow. She has recently
 lost her beloved, so if you could drop by and give her a word of encouragement I know she
would really appreciate it. Thank you and God bless!

Shabby Apple Dress Giveaway!

{UPDATE: THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU}

Wouldn't you just love to hop on this scooter in this gorgeous dress
{named Spanish Steps} and take it for a spin?? I know I would!! One
 of my lucky readers will be able to do just that!  Well,  they will get
the dress free, but the scooter is not included. Sorry!  lol.
I just want to jump into this photo and instantly be wherever this

FREE! Yep, you read that right...free! The winner won't have to pay one
teeny, tiny penney for this gorgeous dress. *smile*

Below is the description of this dress taken directly from the Shabby Apple site.

"Some things are just better together: peanut butter and chocolate, Audrey Hepburn
and Gregory Peck, Rome and Vespas. We decided to pair two things we love—
the soft, cotton jersey of our favorite t-shirt, and the gorgeous sateen of the dresses
 of yesteryear—to create the Spanish Steps, an indispensably
comfortable-yet-elegant summer frock. A luxe jersey cap sleeve top is gathered
 at the waist with a wide satin sash, and a veritable bouquet of appliquéd, ruched
 flowers and leaves adorns the full sateen skirt that swirls just below your knee.
 A truly inspired combination,the Spanish Steps has star potential.
This dress is made from a leightweight, delicate fabric and
FITS GENEROUSLY on our fit guide".



Shabby Apple sells all styles and colors of dresses including white dresses,
little girls dresses, and even maternity dresses along with other clothing,
jewelry etc. They also have several lines of vintage style dresses
 including their Berkshire collection , oh la la , and tinsel town

Pretty paper ♪♫♪...pretty ribbons of...♫♪♫...and a WINNER!


...♪♫♪...BLUE...ooo...♫♪♫♪..wrap your presents...♪♫♪


Wait a minute...stop the presses!
...no blue ribbon around here this year!
Just beautiful gray and silver.

I received my goodies that I won from Ozma of Odds and I was over the moon just viewing the packaging.
Seriously...I didn't even open them up until the next day because I just wanted to stare at them for awhile! So beautiful and so Rosemary!!

She didn't miss one little detail from the silver ribbon to the tags, fabric flower and book cover.
Every little detail was perfect.

I know that I have told you before that I am a *detail* girl.
I so appreciate all the little details in life and I just ooed and ahhed over the detail on my giftwrapping.

What a gorgeous tag on the package that my dream catcher was in!!
{I will get to that one of these days, but this post is just about the wrapping..hee hee}


I also can't help but think how much more gorgeous these photos would be with Rosemary's addition of white flourishes etc. I just love her blog and her extra touches on her photos, but I haven't a clue how to do that. Well , I kinda do know how it is done, but ME actually doing it...now that is another story.


Thank you so much Rosemary!! You made my day, I mean week, oops, I really meant month,
okay ,okay you made my YEAR!

Linking up with Faded Charm today as I do for every White Wednesday celebration.

...and now for the winner of my giveaway....
drum roll pleaseeeee.......

*FLEURCOTTAGE*
Congratulations to Esther! I will send out your goodies as soon as I receive your mailing addy.

Good things come to those who wait! {no crying allowed!}

Wire baskets, french books, market totes...oh my!!
...add a french style apron, a petite crusty table, wall and
garden decor and you have a full blown sale addict
from Peacock Park warehouse sale.

I really hate
to be this cruel , but I just had to show you
what I brought home with me for White Wednesday.

{bearing in mind some items are white,
some are kinda white and some are
not white. It has always been hard for
me to play by the rules!}

Things that I purchased were all
frenchy style.
French totes, french market totes
and a french style apron are just a few
of my wonderful finds.

{this is the part where you are not allowed to cry}
*sniff* *sniff*
I purchased one tote for $4,
two more for $2 each and two
market totes for 3.50 and 4.00 each
apron...$6.00...oops...not $6 but $3.00!

If you like these I suggest you check back for a giveaway
I am having soon and one of these will be included.
Haven't figured out what else yet for sure so it
may be next week before I get it posted.

{pray my computer cooperates...it is running even
slower these days. It may need a trip to the doctor!}

Love the printing on these.

Market tote...this is a neat piece. It is sewn together at the top in the middle and then the ends are open on the top...a little zippered pouch is attached inside for your moolah.

2 frenchy wire baskets

{hey, I just realized all the backgrounds are white so I am playing by the rules after all...and just when I thought I was rocking the boat }

French style book boxes that I have been wanting, but didn't want to spend $40 or more on a set ...rather I couldn't spend $40 or more on a set! :)

I think I better start handing out more tissues to you because these were an awesome price too!

$2 - $6 each Most I bought were $2 and $3 each. I know you are all crying hysterically by now.

Amazing deals! I had to laugh though because when I got home I was looking at them closer and the one that says, Sincerity has the printing on the spine upside down. who knew...who cares! Still great for display.

Little pots $1 each...wire cage thingy $4 for base and $3 for top. They had all sizes of tops and you could pick what you wanted.

Neat flower caddy that I snatched for $5.00.

Have you used up a whole box of kleenex yet? I feel so bad for you...really I do!! Oh dear. Wish I could have bought something for everyone.

huge wire terrarium cover ...wait for it... wait...wait... okay $7.50 .

France flower bucket $7.

My darling daughter was with me as was my granddaughter and she surprised me with a set of these coasters. How thoughtful of her. She told me she got them for me as part of my Christmas gift, but she couldn't wait. She never has been able to wait. lol

This little caddy was $3.00. I had to get something that said Peacock Park on it.

I do have good news...I asked Gina if this would be an annual sale and she said yes so you can plan to attend next year!! {Fenton, Michigan} It is almost 3 hours north of us and 20 minutes away from our daughters home. I think you know what weekend we will be conveniently visiting her every year. :)

This is not all I bought , but it is all the photos I have ready so far. I did get the most amazing crusty petite bistro type table, but it was missing some screws, {somedays I think I am missing a few too , but we won't go there} so hubby is stopping after work to pick some up and finish assembling it for me. Maybe it will appear on next week for White Wednesday.

Sure wish I could have taken all of you with me.

Hope you enjoyed part of my goodies and

hopefully I can get the rest posted soon.

Linking up with Kathleen again for WW this week.

I know I am posting early, but I decided to post it while

my computer is cooperating with me. :)

The spacing issues on blogger is driving me nuts...how about you?

{now everyone wipe those tears and stay tuned for the giveaway!}

Blessings~

The Growers Daughter...Giveaway win part 2

Sharing with you today more items
that I won a few weeks ago from Maria at The Growers Daughter.

{I really hesitated to post these photos as I don't
think they do the items justice, but here we go
anyway}

I already showed you the bath salts and sachet,
but she also sent along lots of french paper goods.

{here is one of the beautiful towels}

vintage french vocabulary cards, old paper, buttons...

an old book in french...

old letters , fleur-de-lis cut outs, and
several old song sheets.

Love how she tied the towels all together in
this string with the french farmhouse tea towels
paper attached.

Love these tags too!!

I sure wish I was a better photographer, but I hope
you get the idea. I was overwhelmed with all kinds
of goodies and I will enjoy them for a long time
to come. Thank you again Maria! Blessings~
