Hello, hello, ready for a Give Away?
I missed my 2 year blog anniversary back in June,
so I thought I'd better get busy to not miss my one year
Vintage Inspiration Friday
Birthday!
(Hope you like what I have planned. I'm Excited!)
I love lots of different styles of decor
and I can't pigeonhole myself in one particular area,
but just having come on a journey with my Living Room
I've realized that Romantic French Styling has been my biggest inspiration.
So for a Give Away to celebrate Vintage Inspiration Friday,
I thought I'd share two of my "go-to" books with you all.
Carolyn Westbrook's
The French Inspired Home
And Selina Lake's
Romantic Style
and just to let you know how much I love and appreciate you
supporters of Vintage Inspiration Friday and my blog
I'm going to add in one of my Key Pendant Necklaces .
A little vintage watch face on an old key
with a little bling for some fun!
Here's the deal for entries:
Separate comments please, for each one.
- Please follow my blog and let me know.
- Grab my Give Away button for your sidebar.
- Spread the word with a Blog post.
And then, when you participate in
Vintage Inspiration Friday
I'll count it as an extra entry.
(one link up for each week, please)
that means three more chances to win!
Ends September 3, 2011
And now from last week's wonderful entries:
My sweet friend Sharon from Sharon's Wannabe Cottage
demolished a boat sized island and "found" this
great workbench to open up her wonderful kitchen.
continuously has me lusting after her linen creations.
to make a great table runner for her buffet
and framed art.
And A Few Pennies More shows us with a great tutorial,
how to create a Feed Sack Dress Form that looks so vintage.
joining in on
Hope you'll join in this week,
please include a link within your post
or button on sidebar.
Remember we're starting the Give Away today,
so please leave your comments here on this post!
You all are the best.
Thanks for making my life so much fun!
xoxo,
