Hello Blogging friends! I hope you are keeping cool in this horrendously hot summer weather!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We lost power for 3 days during record setting 103 degree temps and I thought I would have a giveaway to celebrate my newly appreciated whir of the sewing machine and delightful sound of a humming airconditioner :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is GIVEAWAY #19 and the winner will receive this shabby cottage chic hanging lavender sachet.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

It is fashioned of vintage eggshell white damask and lace ~ embellished with a bouquet of vintage 1940's and newer millinery roses, rosebuds, assorted flowers, ribbon bows, mother of pearl buttons and a sparkling rhinestone heart charm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cutie is 9-1/2" including the ruffled lace flounce and when displayed from the ribbon hanger is 14-1/2" long. It's perfect for a doorknob, shelf peg, cabinet knob, etc.</div>

We were predicted to get our first 1" of snow but so far nothing. I DO LOVE snow and the first snowfall is such fun for this <strike>young lady</strike> ole gal :-)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well are you ready for another giveaway? I was trying to think of a reason for one and I just realized that on November 4th I entered my 14th year of selling on ebay! Can you believe that!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I started there were only a couple digital cameras available, no Paypal, no Priority Mail, no online postage, no cellphones, no ipods, no GOOGLE! . . . I'd better stop because I'm feeling REALLY ancient right now ~ sigh.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Do you remember when they first offered Priority Mail the slogan was</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>~ 2 Pounds ~ 2 Days ~ 2 Dollars ~</strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And for sales and purchases there was a 10 day wait for checks to clear and thank goodness I only had one that bounced!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm sounding like my grandmother here - hehe</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've met the most wonderful people over these 14 years and have some of the best friends still to this day!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Eight years ago I started offering these darling little stocking sachets and have always been my favorite thing to make for you! The pic below is from 2004 and you can see that the shape and style has stayed pretty much the same. I thought this giveaway would be for a pair of sweet sockies so zoom down below this photo to see what you will be entering for and I hope you will want to win this giveaway!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Thank you to everyone that entered my last giveaway! I so appreciate your kind comments :-)))) I LOVE to offer Giveaways so are you ready for another one? Ok, here we go . . .</div><div style="text-align: center;">Giveaway #17 is all about vintage pink santas and roses! I created the design last season using 3 different vintage postcards that I altered, combined and tweeked! It's changed a bit this year by adding a shadow of french script in the background. I love the way it turned out and hope you do too!</div><div style="text-align: center;">The winner will receive the sachet pillow, one of my embellished bottles and a set of 4 coordinating cards.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AdveC7QGVAc/Tskh4rx1Y1I/AAAAAAAABs0/S_VPP1N2KcY/s1600/giveaway17-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hda="true" height="300px" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AdveC7QGVAc/Tskh4rx1Y1I/AAAAAAAABs0/S_VPP1N2KcY/s400/giveaway17-1.jpg" width="400px" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The design has an oval frame of roses to showcase a Victorian santa in pink robe with a decorated fir tree and basket of toys ~ antique doll, clown and horse pull-toy. Printed onto fabric it becomes the focal point of the sweet sachet pillow which measures 10-1/2 x 11-3/4" including the ruffle and is made from pretty pink rose fabrics, vintage lace and a rhinestone heart charm tied with pink satin ribbon bow. It is stuffed with fiberfil and a 1 cup lavender sachet. The petite perfume bottle has a pink santa label and is 5-1/4" to top of the glass stopper and features the same embellishments plus a parchment rose.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VB5A79owkkU/Tqnq_ZKNKRI/AAAAAAAABro/fhHKtt0xYmg/s1600/giveaway17-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="273px" ida="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VB5A79owkkU/Tqnq_ZKNKRI/AAAAAAAABro/fhHKtt0xYmg/s400/giveaway17-2.jpg" width="400px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">And the 4 blank inside cards have the sentiment <strong>A Joyous Christmas Greeting</strong> and are packed in a cellophane bag tied with ribbon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I hope you are enjoying the same wonderful crisp and cooler Autumn weather that we have here in the midwest.<br />
I have been away for a bit dealing with some personal things but am back and have another giveaway for you and also have pretty new things for my Ebay and Etsy stores later today! Links on my right sidebar if you are interested :-)<br />
I was thinking that it could be an October giveaway ~ or ~ that I am so blessed to have 650 followers!! But since I just finished my 250th embellished bottle think that will be the "official" reason! So here we go with Giveaway #16!<br />

I heard on the news that it is 110 degrees in Kansas YIKES! That makes our 100 seem kinda chilly . . . I keep telling myself that ;-)</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it's about time for another giveaway don't you?? Today is my sister Cindy's birthday and that's a good reason for a giveaway celebration!</div><div style="text-align: center;">The favorites have been for my Embellished Bottles and this one has a unique twist!</div><div style="text-align: center;">TA DA!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3DnXh_8csUo/TjMj6NQyGjI/AAAAAAAABkM/gPSFjBCq9TQ/s1600/%2521giveaway15-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="319px" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3DnXh_8csUo/TjMj6NQyGjI/AAAAAAAABkM/gPSFjBCq9TQ/s320/%2521giveaway15-1.jpg" t$="true" width="320px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This giveaway (#15) includes a crystal clear embellished glass bottle ~ sans image this time ~ and a trio of French Perfume Bottle Notecards fashioned after some of my previously sold bottles! A natural progression from glass to paper :-)</div><div style="text-align: center;">The bottle is 5-3/4" high including the removable ball style glass topper and is complemented with pretty pink ribbon and vintage lace bows, vintage 1940's millinery rose, silk rosebuds, teensy ivory posies, a rhinestone flower and silvertone bow and heart charm.<br />
Personally I love them empty and sparkling with the sun shining thru but you can fill with tiny buttons, pearls, beads, bath salts, etc.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Two sweet Victorian girlies and the ever popular Southern Belle! They have ribbons, roses, a heart locket and mini skeleton key and a faceted crystal stopper.

I found the vintage American flags in the photo above about 10 years ago at a fabulous antique shop in Glen Ellyn, IL called The Sign of the Whale. They were $1.00 each so of course being the <strike>hoarder</strike> collector that I am, I had to get all 26 of them :-) The dealer picked them up after a 4th of July parade in the 1960's in Milwaukee, Wisconson.</div><br />

Note the band of sweet vintage image roses along the bottom :-)<br />

How true!<br />

Hope you likey :-) The center of attention is a darling young girl originally painted many many moons ago by the beloved artist Frances Brundage. Along with the pretty in pink girl, I used a number of other vintage graphics to create the design including an oval of pink roses, french script & soft "lace" in the background.<br /></p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bZ7yPPjdBCc/Tb8o2VEZnvI/AAAAAAAABc0/5dSKQE3A4Qo/s1600/%2521giveaway13b.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 257px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602241375305834226" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bZ7yPPjdBCc/Tb8o2VEZnvI/AAAAAAAABc0/5dSKQE3A4Qo/s400/%2521giveaway13b.jpg" /></a><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 232px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 164px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602241374186996210" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AJsR_5Hd8_A/Tb8o2Q5pgfI/AAAAAAAABcs/stXjDgoivko/s400/%2521giveaway13c.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><p align="center">The sachet pillow-ette features pink rose fabrics, vintage lace, millinery roses, ribbon bow and a heart of sparkling rhinestones.
