I missed the sign up dead line for Beverly's Pink Saturday but I thought I would post a beautiful print I bought up in Michigan. Originally intended for the lakehouse, I put it in my newly painted bathroom here in Chicago and just loved it. What do you think? Hopefully I will be fully finished with the bath in a week or so and will post pictures. Is it weird to say it may just be my favorite room in the house? Will I be sleeping in the bathtub soon?And guess what? I hit 300 followers the other day!! YES!! That makes me happy. SO I want to thank everyone with a giveaway and I love giveaways. I have won my share and I have a few that I still need to post about. Below you will see one of the giveaway gifts.
Isn't this shadow box darling? I wish I could say I made it, but I don't have this sort of creativity. But this is one of the things I am giving away. I can't help but find little goodies along the way to throw in as well. So we are starting off with this precious glass shadow box with faux eggs on sheet music paper and hopefully pull a winner by next week. I have a few trips coming up and would love to have a winner sooner rather than later. You too, huh? Yay!!So we have the usual prerequisites. Comment on this post and my next, let me know if you are a follower, and if you have a chance. mention in your one of your blog posts that I have a giveaway going. The total three will give you three chances.
I thank all of you for making me feel like someone that you want to listen to and be friends with in the Blog World. I enjoy myself immensely just visiting and commenting and all of you mean the world to me, especially when you come to listen to me drone on... ;-D
So, come on. lets find a winner. Open to the U.S., England, Australia, France, Italy and EVERYWHERE that I have made new friends in the world!!!! xoxo

Love that soft pastel painting, very versatile in which room you can put it in, perfect for a 'Lake House' or the 'Beach Bungalow'. I have a soft spot for collecting paintings with roses in them , found some lovely originals in flea markets and antiques and garage sales.
Lovely blog,
Joanny
Congrats to you and I am happy to be one of the 300 followers!
I love your painting. I was at Country Curtains today and there were so many sweet prints. Since we painted, I am so afraid to get a cluttered look that I have been holding back! I have to take a good look around and fill in some spaces!

Hey there Blondie Girl! Have a spectacular weekend!!!
Hi Jane, congratulations on your followers.....woooo hoooo! The shadowbox is lovely.
Your garden in the post below is beautiful. I am drooling!!!!
Lovely soft print! I'm so happy you found the perfect place to hang it.
Per usual, I'm not entering your give-away. Because I never gave anything away. And therefore, don't join in them.
I know. Just do a drawing myself. And not have this feeling of being "awful" to win things in blog land. But I've even gotten something in the past, and was set to give-it-away. And I didn't follow through. Must be some sort of "horrible" thing about my character or something. -giggles-
Or I'm just too good at procrastinating. So, for now, I stick with NOT entering give away's.
^_^
Love the painting. Can't wait to see pics of your new bathroom. Sounds lovely.
Happy Pink Saturday.
I love that frame - perfect French blue!! Please add my name Jane - you know I love anything this adorable!
Congrats. on all your followers - don't blame them, you are one sweet lady to be tagging along with! We love you and seeing all the lovely tings you kindly share on your blog.

Hi Jane,
Thanks for your sweet comment on my Sunday Favorites post. I did notice the picture of your beautiful mother on your sidebar. She had the same coloring as my mom, very Northern European looking (mine from Germany). I know how much you must miss her.
anyway, you are sweet to leave words of encouragement.
Love that painting, and I get the part about the bathroom being your favorite, I wouldn't mind spending the afternoon in mine, either. I've got a nice wicker chair for reading, and a huge tub for soaking - what more do I need?!!
Have a great weekend. I'd love to be in the drawing, and yes I'm a follower.
