200th Post Giveaway!!!

Well, it's finally here. 200 posts!! (I think it's really 203) I can't believe it really. Ok, maybe I can. I love blogging! I admit it. I enjoy posting regularly and hearing from each and every one of you. You are my friends, my cheerleaders, my inspiration. Thank you so much for stopping here and looking at any little thing that I've done or said . . .

I've made you a little gift. A taste of what I hope to soon have in my Etsy store along with my artwork.

First, I will give away this handmade purse!! I made it last night just for this giveaway. I hope you all like it ~

Then I will draw another name for this pretty lavender sachet accented with vintage lace ~

Thank you again, sweet friends, for visiting my blog ~

A unique doggy bed ~

I hope you don't get sick of seeing Ellie pictures but I just had to show you this!

I was straightening up my art room and Ellie wanted to be right with me but she was getting really tired. I had taken apart an old suitcase because I'm going to use the top, with the cool gathered pocket, for an art project.

Well, I placed a few comfy pillows in the bottom half of the suitcase and with her baby blanket, she had a great puppy bed!! I may just make a custom cushion for it with a washable cover.

Oh, and I just layed the little doll dress on her but doesn't she look so cute?? Boy, I need help . . .

Fresh look ~

Don't you love a fresh look in your home? Just a little change can make the biggest difference.

These are the sheers that I had in my room at The Plum Tree. After hanging the new drop cloth panels and valance up, I brought these home, washed them and knew just where to hang them . . . in my bay window.

I love the vintage feel they have and they still show off the back yard!
