Blogiversary/Birthday Giveaway!!!!!!

Even though I celebrated my actual blog anniversary on Dec. 22nd and my birthday last Thursday, I thought I would have a giveaway anyway!!! Even though it's a little belated, I wanted to share my good fortune of celebrating another year with you my wonderful new-found friends!! So to honor the occasion, I made a bracelet using all vintage buttons!

And I will be wrapping it up inside this sweet little vintage wallpaper box!

I will also be adding a wonderful and whimsical vintage photo of two lovely ladies on a ladder, a brown transferware soap dish and 5 pretty, little mother-of-pearl buckles!

I wanted this giveaway to be sweet and romantic and I think I came up with a mix of vintage goodies that exemplify just that!!

I love this photo--such a hoot!!


These buckles would be great in a craft or jewelry project or just let them sit in this pretty little dish too!!

So...here's the deal!
You'll have 3 chances to win...
Leave me a comment... become a new follower or remind me that you already are... share the news about my giveaway on your blog and let me know you did so!!! I will be choosing the winner on Monday, Jan. 24th at 8 p.m. central time.
Simple enough, right!?! So, good luck and thanks so much for your love and support this past year!! You all mean so much to me!!

    I stumbled upon this lovely blog of yours doing a "google" search for vintage buttons. I'm 29 and my button addiction is ever growing. I am just starting out, and your bracelet would be a conversation starter and a reason to talk about buttons!

    Happy belated birthday and congratulations on your anniversary. I enjoy your blog and love many of the things you do. I don't usually enter giveaways since I don't have a blog (and blogless people seldom win!). But...I love the bracelet--it is gorgeous! And anything brown transferware is also lovely. So here's my measly entry...someone will be very lucky to receive your giveaway. Thanks!
