Hello March and a Giveaway...




Hello March...and hello my sweet friends!!!  It's been a long Winter, hasn't it??!  Would you like a little something to help you get ready for Spring?  I thought it would be fun to welcome March with a little "pick me up" Giveaway...



A copy of the gorgeous  Jeanne d' Arc Living garden book, Franske Fornemmelser, for one of my dear readers!!!




To help you get a jump start on Spring...



It's chuck full of beautiful pictures and ideas on how you can bring the Nordic-French style into your garden...



All you have to do to be entered...you know the drill...is leave me a comment!  Contest ends on Sunday, March 7th at midnight.  If you'd like to blog about my giveaway, I would be thrilled to give you 2 chances to win (just let me know in the comments)!!!



***Oh, and just for the fun of it...I'm also going to throw in 3 of the vintage clock faces from my collection...I get so many emails about those clock faces...plus a few vintage enamel tags and metal number stencils!  So the winner will get the book and the all of the other number themed goodies as well!!!  Good luck girls***



From the bottom of my heart...I'd like to take a minute to say thank you for making this creative space of mine such a joy to come to!  It wouldn't be any fun without all of you...I love every single comment you all leave for me...and I appreciate all of you who take the time to come by and read my posts!!!  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!  You are simply the best!


Tracey

Thanks,

Ana Maria Monte Flores said...

Oh dear! Am I the ONLY blogger who doesn't live in a snow-covered area? I live in the South - and don't think, Atlanta or the Carolinas or even Jacksonville. I live in Miami, Florida and NOW is the ONLY time we get to enjoy the beautiful outdoors! NOW is when we plant impatiens and our gardens look beautiful. NOW is when we barbecue and walk around our neighborhoods and admire our neighbors' gardens. Oh, I know, you all probably read about South Beach and all that - it's not true! Only tourists bake out on the beach during the Summer. We, the natives (almost native)have our garden parties now. We visit decorated show homes now, have our garage sales and visit flea markets now! So please, stop wishing for Spring, 'cause when you all get your Spring, we get 90++ degree weather, sweat, frizzy or limp hair, rain,mosquitoes and wiltering gardens! Please send some cold down to us!

... and by the way, of course I'd love to be entered in your giveaway! Thank you for your lovely and inspiring blog. ........... Ana Maria

Katy Noelle said...

Oh! I am so happy!!! I am so happy that I've found your blog! This is better than a magazine!

Of course, I would love to enter your giveaway, even though it looks like chances are slim ...

I am going to go and enter you into my list of very favorite blogs, because you fit there. I will, also, mention this giveaway, because I love the few friends that I've made through this new baby venture of mine.

Speaking of hope ... it's funny about those clock faces ... I just shared about how much I love them. I wonder, out of all the lovely friends and fans that you have here if you'd be interested, or even have time, to come and visit me. I feel very pale next to all of this beauty but, even still ...

Thanks for refreshing my day. It's been a rough, beat up sort of one but I feel set right again from my visit here. See you again!

Love, Katy Noelle xo
