Friends:

Hello, it's been awhile (part 14)
CSN has given me another promotion (yay).  Last time I mentioned (yes, a mere mention!) I was able to purchase a wonderful quilt for the baby's nursery!  It looks sooo good.  I'll take a pic soon.  I love it so much I'm actually going to get another one to have matching twin beds in the nursery (soon to be the big girls' room)

In all honesty, CSN is worth taking a look at.  It's like a high quality Walmart online.  I has anything from dining room chairs, to quilts, to dog strollers.  yesssssssss.

Here's the quilt I got (and what I'm getting another of)

The Verdict is in:

 Congratulations, HUTCH.  Enjoy your new (vintage) sugar dish and creamer!!!!!  Promise you'll bring it if we ever get Tim Horton's together, k?

And the Etsy gods smiled and opened up the heavens and showered down amazing-ness. In other words, GIVEAWAY!

I have a simple word equation for you:
high noon cup of tea
plus
vintage
plus
Etsy
plus
giveaway
equals
the warmest virtual feeling of love ever.

This creamer and sugar bowl makes my heart melt a little and my mouth water for Earl Grey tea and lots of sugar cubes.  (Actually I love raspberry splenda in my earl grey, but this set mocks anything less than decadent.)

halfpenny vintage is a Chicago based shop that specializes in anything beautiful and vintage.  And sometimes vintage's awkward days.  They are offering this set to one lucky, lucky reader!  Go visit halfpenny vintage and leave a comment to enter.  Winner will be announced next Monday.  Good luck!

Which is more important? my birthday or a GIVEAWAY?

Today is my birthday. 

More importantly, we have another giveaway!!!!

or should it read:  

Today is Friday, April 23rd and we have yet another giveaway.  How fun are these giveaways???

More importantly, it's my birthday.  ???

This day 1986 was a fine fine day when the angels sang and showered down love, beauty and sheer wit unto me to grace all of you.  My middle name is Grace for a reason, you know.  Instead of birth announcements, my parents sent out a Public Service Announcement.  They knew the world would have to be prepared for this.  

But enough about me, let's talk about gifts (for me).  I want more followers.  Mr Incredible has proven to be useless in that area.  You people are the next best thing to his commitment and undying faithfulness.  More followers, please.

But enough about me round two.  Let me give YOU more awesomeness:

Frickin how much do you love these prints?!  I died when I first laid eyes on Horatia.  Go check out Kirby's shop and tell me your favorite piece of art.  She's offering any one of her 4x6 prints to one of you lucky readers!  asd;lfk!

Leave a comment to enter.  Winner will be announced Thursday!

I ate too much again ANNNND Little Tiara Giveaway!

Ohhh shoot I was on such a (two day) roll for blogging everyday.  But then, ya know, life happened yesterday and I spent the day shoving my face instead of doing anything else.  It was Thursday, you know.  And you know what happens on Thursdays.  Binge Thursday.  Don't think this is a special occasion or anything.  Without fail, this happens every. single. Thursday.  I just assume you don't want to read about my indignities every Thursday and then my complaints every Friday because I get THE WORST. food hangovers.  All kidding aside.  This morning consisted of lots of coffee and Tylenol.  All because of that damned Sara Lee *light* pound cake and brownie batter out of the box mixed with water to eliminate my chances of saminola and added fat from oil.  I won't list the other foods because a) you don't care b) the ones listed are the ones that put me over the edge.

Shoot.  This is supposed to be the post about the giveaway.  I really need to start seperating my thoughts into different posts.

Onto the giveaway.  So.  Little Tiara and I have been reading (and commenting) on each other's blogs since I began blogging.  Yay.  We go back.  She is offering your choice of any of her posted artwork either as a notebook (sweet) or notecards (maybe that would help me with my correspondence issues).  Awesome!  Click on this link and tell me your favorite piece of her work!  Winner's choice!  Then if you feel so inclined, you should click on this link and read her blog.  She's romantic and girly and all the stuff that I could be if I didn't binge every Thursday.

Winner will be announced next Thursday at Some point in time EST.  Good luck!
