Last Chance for my Giveaway!

Just a quick reminder that today is your last chance to enter my giveaway!! I will be double checking the list tonight and picking my winner at 8 pm (central time) I will announce the winner shortly after that! So this is what I was doing yesterday...

My husband and I got together at my sister's house with all my brothers and sisters and their spouses and had a big ol' Packer party!!
And unless you live under a rock ~ our team is goin' to the SUPER BOWL!!! We almost took the roof of my sister's house when they won!! Oh, that Aaron Rogers is such a hottie!!

So today and tomorrow, I will be listing some more things on Etsy (like this beautiful Victorian greeting card that I scanned) and playing catch up around the house. Speaking of that scanning thing, I really need to get some good advice on scanning things and posting them to my blog, cuz they always turn out kinda funny when I try it! Any takers on giving me some help on this?

So, hurry up and get your name entered for my giveaway and I'll be picking your name later tonight!! Have a great day everyone!!

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!!

Projects and Coming Attractions!

I have been having fun working on some new projects the last few days! I posted about these photo holders before, but have been trying to find new & different things to use. I love this little bitty doorknob!...and this little guy in his cowboy "chaps"!! I found a good sized pile of vintage photos at a sale a week or so ago and have been enthralled with digging through them--they are so much fun!!Some of my completed holders.

Using some old silver from my friend Joann's sale to make wind chimes!

These keys make a nice tinkling sound!

As you know~I LOVE pincushions! So I like to make them with anything I can find!

Especially old sugar bowls~in china...

and aged silver! I found some crazy quilt pieces at the flea market in May and they work perfectly for these!!


NOW....for the BIG news!! I am 2 posts away from my 100th post, and I will be having a giveaway!!!!!

I will be including this lovely vintage post card!

Also one of my photo holders and lots of other goodies which I will be packing inside this vintage cracker tin!!!!

Everyday I keep adding to the pile~something for everyone!!! SO, I know you won't be disappointed!!

Stay tuned!*!*!*!*!
