First ever give-away for 100 followers

Before I get to my first ever give-away I am showing my Pink

Penta blossom.  This delicate looking blossom will

actually thrive in the hot, humid, scorching sun of a

coastal Florida summer!

Needless to say, this beauty is my best friend all summer!

On Wednesday my hubby and I gave into our love for books and magazines

and trotted off to our local Barnes and Nobles.

We also had lunch, but did not take pictures, lol.

Since Wednesday was the two year anniversary of mom's passing,

my hubby bought me the new Victoria speciality issue,

Gardens of Bliss.

If you have not seen this yet, be sure to get your copy.

Exquisite photography!

Also he bought me the enchanting new mug, complete

with its own infuser and ceramic top.

Don't you just love a complete mug with infuser for loose tea and a ceramic top

to keep your tea warm while it steeps?

Early morning, when the sun is just coming up, will find me cuddled on the

couch, sipping my newest favorite herbal infusion, Passions by Tazo.

A magical blend of hibiscus, lemongrass, rose hips, mango and

passion fruit flowers.

While savoring Gardens of Bliss photography.

Drum roll please.....

Lynn's first ever give-away in honor of

100 followers.

(ok technically I have 99 right now, lol)

It all started when I saw this fat cheeked little bird

in a shop window on Royal Street in New Orleans

on our recent trip during Mardi Gras celebrations.

I so loved this little bird, but the shop was closed for the day!

I took the picture of the shop name so I could go back....

because I knew this little bird was going to be the

starting point of my very first give-away!

Even on vacation, I was thinking of you!

SECOND DRUM ROLL PLEASE

These are the delightful goodies

I have picked for the lucky winner,

2 plates, 2 french soaps, 1 pillow, 1 bird candle and

a little nest complete with bird and eggs.

All for celebrating both Spring and my wonderful followers.

BTW

the wicker chair and cushion are NOT part of the give-away!

A little closer look at the details of the lovely pillow and

little bird which is actually a candle.

See the wick?

Just had to add this enchanting little nest with bird and two eggs.

Essence of Spring to me.

Closer look at the small french soaps from the same lovely store

as the little bird.

And the TWO charming plates, I could not resist from Pier 1

just for you.

The little nest was also Pier 1.

The pillow was from Cracker Barrel.

Everything except the Pier 1 items were bought on our trip.

I did not forget my loyal, wonderful followers.
