Gone to the Beach and Giveaways!

It’s beach time once again! Last year we went here and had a great time, so we’re going back to the same place to soak up some rays and have some relaxation in the white sugary sands of Florida. The chocolate chip cookies are baked and ready to go….gotta have some good snacks.
These books are going with me…they should keep me busy for a few days.

This is what we’ll see every a.m. when we rise and look outside. Can’t wait for an early a.m. walk.

And this is exactly what I’m going to do every day next week…..Seas the Day, I love it!

Vintage set of prints are up for the giveaway…and all the things below.

So, while I’m gone, we are signing up for a BIG giveaway and when I return, I’ll randomly draw 5 names to win some prizes. I’m cleaning out my stash closet, so take a look and see if you see something you like and sign up on this post. There will be 5 winners and I’ll draw randomly. Winner #1 will get to choose 3 things and the other 4 will get to choose 2 items each, in the order that I draw the names. Get ready to win! I think there is something for everyone’s taste here.

This is a great time for all of you lurkers to come out and play! I’ll be back in one week and will announce the winner on Monday, the 26th! Be sure and send all your friends over too. If you don’t have a blog, please leave me your email address in the comments so I can get in touch with you.

Have a great week. I’ll miss you all, but will find plenty to keep me busy at the beach. I’m taking a much needed break from blogging and will come back refreshed and ready to go with some new inspiration!

    Love that place on South Walton Beach. I’ve bookmarked for further reference…and perhaps a stay. My father was raised in the Florida panhandle. I love those beaches on the gulf side. They’re like white sugar.

    Nothing like some prizes to motivate me out of lurking! I love your blog – I’ve “borrowed” a few of your decorating ideas for my house! Have fun at the beach!

    We don’t have as many fabulous yard sales in our area that you seem to find in yours. I am a little envious and live through you & your great finds.
    Have a great time on vacation!!!

    When you have a chance, stop by my blog and look at the shade that I put on the milkglass lamp. It’s not a clip on, but it fits over the “stem” of the lamp. I found it at Wal-Mart for $5.00 + I added some pom pom fringe.

    Have a great vaca!
