Sweet Embellished Bottle GIVEAWAY #5

Greetings my sweet bloggerdoodle buddies! Are you ready for another Give-A-way?! I hope so because I have one for you and it starts today!
This is Give-A-way #5 and is for another of my pretty embellished glass bottles. You can see more of my bottles that are for sale by clicking on my sidebar link to take you to Victoria Rose Cottage . . . they sell my wares under Designs by Lynn.
The label for this bottle features a portrait of a darling young girl painted over 100 years ago by the beloved artist Frances Brundage.


Isn't she cute with her wavy hair bowtied in a topknot and her lacy dress with flouncy ribbon shoulder bows. And she wears her best pearl necklace with sparkling jewel at the neckline.

Embellished with pretty millinery roses and blossoms, silvertone heart charm, pink ribbon bow, faux pearls and lots of rhinestone crystals. She measures 6-1/4" including the lucite and cork stopper.
So sweet to display with a collection of perfume bottles on your dresser, vanity table, bath shelf, etc . . . or mix in with your shabby chic collectibles on a shelf or in a cabinet.

PINK SATURDAY & GiveAway Winner

Saturday greetings to my pink loving bloggerdoodle buddies!I'm participating in Pink Saturday this week and send a big bouquet of thank you's to Beverly of
HOW SWEET THE SOUND
for hosting the pink party each week!!
But before I proceed to the pinkness I'm announcing the winner of my Christmas In July Stocking GiveAway :-) There were 397 entries and the winning number picked from my popcorn bowl was 381 . . . Sandy of Romantique Inspirations. Congratulations Sandy! Please contact me with your shipping information and I'll have her ready to go!


I collect antique mohair teddy bears and this girl always makes me smile! Doesn't she have a sweet funny face and big ears! She is about 100 years old and I've always had her wearing this baby bonnet, handmade knitted bib with pink ribbon and embroidered flowers and crocheted pink booties. She has always been selfconcious of her big feet and doesn't realize that is a GOOD thing with old teds!

Well now . . . she could almost fit her feeties in this pink vintage baby shoe planter but they sure would hurt!

Here is a sweet pillow previously sold on ebay featuring an adorable pink rose stripe fabric, vintage doily with cutout center to frame the bouquet of handmade pink ribbon roses!

Something a little different - but sweet and pink! An antique pink enamel child's chamber pot! See the pretty hand painted daisies and violets . . . when ya gotta go it's nice to go in style - hehe

A trio of dainty pink velvet vintage millinery roses simply displayed in a shabby white gesso decorated frame and a bit of vintage lace.

And the last items to showcase today are a pair of previously sold door hanger sachets aka Door Charmers! Long and lean featuring vintage lady images, lace and of course handmade pink ribbon roses! Perfect for displaying on a door knob or anywhere you please . . . more of these coming soon :-)
Thank you for sharing a part of your day with me and hope to see you again soon!
Pink Hugs and Smiles,

Happy Anniversary to Me & GiveAway Extended

Hello my blogger friends!!

I'm back and hope you haven't forgotten me :-)
I can't believe that my last post was 2 weeks ago! Time sure flies when you're having fun they say . . . but when you are NOT having fun it sure drags!! I've been sick and then got food poisoning so have been having a yukkity yukko of a time :-( And to top it off I broke my glasses and wasn't able to get out to get new ones . . . oh when it rains it pours!
Anywho ~ I am better now and have lots of catching up to do . . . email box is overflowing and Victoria Rose Cottage custom orders are backed up . . . but my tummy is no longer doing flip flops so I'm raring to go!
I am extending the deadline for my CHRISTMAS IN JULY STOCKING GIVEAWAY for a week so you now have til July 21st to enter!
And then another one will begin :-)))

Dave and I are celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary today! We met in January 1979 and were married 7 months later, July 14, 1979 . . . and they said it would never last :-) Actually, no one ever said that and I believe that my family loves Dave more than they love me HA!! He's one of those kind of people that everyone likes! Especially me!
I love the above picture of us and would give just about anything to still have those skinny arms ~ giggle . . .

My Dad passed away in March of that year so my younger brother Bobby gave me away! Bobby was only 45 when he lost a 6 month fight with cancer 10 years ago and is now my sweet Guardian Angel . . . .

My Mom and Dad were both only children so our immediate family is kinda small with no aunts or uncles or cousins. This pic shows my Grandma Blanche, Bobby, Me, Dave, my Mom, my sisters Cindy and Lori.
Thanks so much for sharing some time with me today!!

Hugs and Smiles,

Lynn

Please drop me a note with your shipping info and your bottle will be on the way home to Canada!


On to the new Giveaway!! If you read my previous post I think you got the hint what this one would be - giggle . . . The only suspense was whether it would be a traditional stocking or mini sachet! And its a traditional open top stocking in a style that I've been offering on ebay for years and years. This one turned out so sweet and I hope its something you would like to have in your own home for the holidays. The stocking is created with a super darling vintage pink and ivory white fabric with the look of woven cross stitch stripes! I love this fabric and use it only for the most special projects :-) The center of attention is a pretty Harrison Fisher lady printed onto fabric and complimented with charming pink rose fabrics, vintage lace, rhinestone crystals, ruffled topper, ribbon hanger, bouquet of millinery flowers and a white jingle bell at the tippy toe. She is fully lined and ready to display. I hope you likey!
