And the Winner Is...

Well, I'm really excited to reveal the winner of my 100th post giveaway!! But first, I want to thank EVERYONE who participated-new and old followers!! The response I received exceeded my expectations ~ I went from 50 to 83 followers in a week!! WOW!! Pretty good for a beginner like me!!Now, here's the system I used to choose my winner. I wrote all entrants down with all of their chances, then I numbered them all. Then I cut up little pieces of paper and numbered them as well.
I placed them all inside the cracker tin that the winner will receive--stirred it around real good and reached in to pull out a number!!

And the winning number--#49
belongs to
Thespa of Vintiquities Workshop!!!!!

Congratulations, Thespa!! I hope you enjoy all the goodies I put together for you!! When you get the chance, shoot me an email with all your mailing info and I will send out your winning package! This has been a real fun experience for me and I truly appreciate all the sweet and encouraging comments I received. Thanks so much for taking the time to visit me and enter my giveaway!!
I look forward to some new and exciting blogs to visit and some new friendships as well!!

Now I have a bunch of new blogs to check out!!

Black Friday--All Caged Up!

I love the look of displaying things under glass, like cloches or bell jars. One of my recent finds was an old black bird cage, and I thought it would be a great variation on that "under glass" theme! It looks fabulous with my aged silver pieces and an old dresser mirror beneath!!
You can easily change up the vignettes inside~this one is my particular favorite.

This old silver tray is a perfect base too!

How about a live plant?

Or vintage clocks!


I like the look of these too!

I'm joining in the Vintage Black Friday link party with the French Cupboard!

Make sure you take a minute to visit all the other lovely blogs participating!

And...Don't forget about my 100th post giveaway!! The deadline to enter is 5pm (central time) Friday, July 2nd! I will be announcing the winner sometime in the evening after 8pm! Good luck and thanks for visiting!!!
