I am joining Laurie, at Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie for a Few of My Favorite Things Saturday. Please check out Lauries cool and fun blog for some awesome posts!
A few of my favorite things ........
Giveaways! This teapot and cup from the darling CC, was the very first give-away I won. Now I'm hooked. If you enter enough give-away's your bound to win eventually.
Apple Trees in bloom! Tis the season at our little humble abode.
Apple blossoms for centerpieces. I made this one last year and I had to risk life and limb with all the bumble bees that were buzzing around my head.
My apple blossom table.
And lilacs! I can't get enough of lilacs this time of year. They are filling up every empty vase in my house.
And I love to have give-away's! Thank-you to all of you who took the time to enter. I wish I had a set of dishes to send to each and every one of you. There were a 168 separate entries. I used the random number generator and without further ado...........
The winner is Rhonda @ Shellbelle's Tiki Hut!
Congratulations Rhonda! AKA Shellbelle. I love visiting her fun blog!
Just e-mail me Rhonda and I will get your info to CSN so they can get your dishes in the mail to you.
Thanks everyone!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
I hope to get around to visiting you all soon!

Your apple trees are incredible! So glad that the bees didn't get you! I adore your front porch rug too, I almost bought that myself. Your home is lovely, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteI swear, I'm misty-eyed at being the winner of your wonderful giveaway. The move to Georgia has left me with mixed feelings and getting back to blogging after settling in a bit has been such a blessing. I love our blogging world and the generosity of our friends. Thank you Cindy, thank you so much. Okay, now the tears are flowing, so I'm going to go.

ReplyDeleteHope you have a delightful weekend. ~ Sarah
I will keep your words of how to win in my mind...but I don't know if it works. Aside from my personal giveaway from Karen....I have won a magazine in 3 years!! I don't think I am very lucky that way...but I am glad you won! I will enjoy it with you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Rhonda for winning this beautiful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteCindy it looks like we have a lot of favorites in common. The scent of lilacs is intoxicating! I can just picture you trying to cut those apple blossoms. The bumble bees love my azaleas and I couldn't pull weeds around them for the entire time they were in bloom. They are not an aggressive bee but they buzz so loud they intimidate me. I run screaming like a little girl. LOL Enjoy your weekend! Hugs
Love the flowers! Congrats to the winner!
ReplyDeleteThat little chair tea light is adorable!
Oh my, what a lovely setting and to be able to sit there looking out at the trees in bloom. Sigh!

Oh, I'm thrilled for Rhonda! She is going to love those dishes, Cindy!!! :-) Doing the happy dance for her.
ReplyDeleteLove your centerpieces. They are so pretty, and you are surrounded with beauty.
Sorry I'm late getting to this. I had an accident on Thursday and have been sore. Thought I'd try and catch up on blogging today.
XO,
Sheila :-)
Congrats to the winner!!
ReplyDeleteYour lilacs are just gorgeous and so is your apple tree..all of those blossoms! Congrats to the winner. Thanks for stopping by...you know the same things actually happened to me...I only got to around 27 sales on one side of town and then pooped out. Town wide yardsales are great...now if only they would space them out a bit.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are really blooming and oh so pretty, Cindy! It must smell so good in your whole surrounding. Congrats to Rhonda!.....Christine
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck! I know I left a comment on this post, but I don't see it, so I must have done something wrong. Your apple blossoms and your lilacs are beautiful, and I love your pretty little vignette of your winnings from CC. Of course, you got me with the toile mat, but the little candle holder chair is so cute too. Thank you for linking this to Fav. Things. It would have been a much better post if I had been the winner (just kidding- congrats to the winner). laurie
