Soon I'll Be Posting Number 300! Let's do a GIVEAWAY!

I'm not far away from my 300th post and feel like having a giveaway. I was going to do it around my birthday in October but this way we can have one sooner! YAY

A comment equals one entry
If you are a follower or become a follower you get two more entries.

Post about it and there are another two entries in it for you.

Total possible entries = 5 per person

Just let me know what you decide to go for.


Here are SOME of the prizes... I'm giving away TWO copies of my favorite author's new book...



A pretty blue cashmere scarf that I picked up in New York City...




This nifty wrought iron candelabra that fits into a wine bottle....wine bottle included if you do not have your own...


...AND...a $20 Starbucks gift card

SO....start entering NOW...The window of opportunity for entering closes at noon on Friday coming, that would be the 28th, I believe. Who knows...I might add a few additional prizes as the week goes on so SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!!!

  5. What a beautiful give a way! I was going to buy that book last week, but budget only allowed for the new James Lee Burke. This was going to wait until next month, but maybe I'll win it instead lol. That scarf is divine, actually everything here is. What fabulous gifts! Kathy

  41. Hey Lady!

    I NEVER win things but I wanted to enter for two reasons. I love, love, love your blog and really love the prizes. Pat Conroy rocks, the scarf is to die for and what better way to use a wine bottle(when it is empty, of course) than as a candle holder. Oh, I hope to win. CONGRATS on the upcoming 300th post. You rock!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Yay!!! Maybe I will finally win a giveaway!!! I am a follower, plus I posted about your giveaway on my blog.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway for all your faithful readers! I am definitely in for 5 chances to win. I have already been a follower, plus, I posted about your giveaway on my blog tonight. My daughter just bought that book a few weeks ago and it really looked good. I especially like the fact that it takes place in one of my favorite places, Charleston!!! The candelabra is so cute. Great for tailgating. And the shawl is so pretty. My favorite color!!! Take care and have an awesome week. Love & blessings from NC!

  44. I forgot to CONGRATULATE you on your 300th post!!! That is wonderful!! Isn't blogging fun? I have met so many great friends and learned so much by blogging and sharing ideas! Love & blessings from NC!
