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.
Signs from Cottage & Bungalow.com
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.
Ethan Allen Style BookNew Set of stamps for you crafty paper girls Faux stacking books with drawers

Blue edged linen doily
Blue & white small plate
Blue & white birdhouse

Set of 12 black paper chandelier shades
Wine box
Set of 2 small gold framed mirrors, from Bombay Co.
Gold & creme planter
Silver heart jewelry tray

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!

    Seaside is the most wondrous beach I’ve ever been to. We love the cute cottages there and the little market is just fun to walk around in. Hope you have a great week! ;o)
