My Spring Lovin' Giveaway...

I am in love with Springtime... and flowers and birdies... and sunshine and laughter... and long walks with Tessy... and straw hats and pretty sandals... and longer days and cool Spring nights where the sky is so clear you could just reach out and touch a star... I shall make a wish upon one... just a whisper of a breeze that carries the sweetness of Lilacs and Honeysuckle into my open bedroom window... the nightly chorus of frogs from the creek and the pond just down the lane and around the bend... and butterfly kisses and flower fairies that fill my gardens... the kind of days and nights I want to last forever... these things make me so giddy and light~hearted... all my cares melt away... I am wishing you all butterfly kisses and starlit nights... and sunshine and laughter... and all things happy and beautiful... besides, my birthday is coming up in May and I celebrate for the whole month before... so, I am having a Spring Lovin' giveaway...

I picked out some beautiful Springtime gifts from my friends Jen and El's beautiful boutique here in Centerville, Madeleine L'Amour, just for one of you!... the lucky winner will receive the following... first, an absolutely gorgeous handmade bead necklace in the oh~so~loveliest of pinks for Spring... the color reminds me of my beautiful Bleeding Hearts... (sorry, my birdies modeling it are not included!)...

My lovebirds have it doubled up, it is actually a gorgeous 30 inches long...

The winner will also receive this exquisite silk pouch~clutch bag, make~up bag... what~have~you kind of bag handmade by "Just Be" for my friends shop... it is adorned with a beautiful silk Spring flower with a blingy center...

Also included is this adorable vintage~style garden seed catalog notebook with lots of blank pages to keep track of your gardens in... (yes, I bought myself one of these too!)...

I've wrapped it all up pretty for one of you!... with silk ribbons and a pink millinery flower...

And a very special gift to be included is a copy of Sharon Lovejoy's book for Country Living Gardener "A Blessing of Toads"... I have been an admirer of Sharon's for years, treasuring my Country Living magazines and books she wrote for... be sure to read my previous post... sooo exciting for me to find out Sharon and I are not only kindred spirits but "distant" cousins!... you won't believe how it all came about!... (photo snatched from Amazon when I ordered the books, yes, I ordered myself one too!)...

The rules to enter?... there are no rules!... (I never did like rules, did you?)... just leave me a comment on this post and~or the previous post where I first announced I was having a giveaway... I will enter you once for each of these two posts you comment on up through midnight on Friday, April 20th... anyone is welcome to comment and enter, no matter where in the world you live... if you are nice enough to visit me from outside of the USA then I can certainly mail you your gift should your name be drawn... as always, I will have Jack draw the winner from all of the names put in one of my vintage Bauer bowls and I will post the name on Saturday, April 21st... Good luck!... sending you oodles of Spring Lovin'!... xoxo... PS If you do not have a blog, please leave me an email address to get in touch with you should you win...
