Petticoats & Parasols
Art Event in Savannah

I'm home from my awesome trip to the Petticoats and Parasols Art Event in Savannah but not feeling very well. Please know that I will respond to all your lovely blog comments and upload photos of this wonderful event over the next week or so. Right now I have hives to deal with! Yikes. Don't know what is happening to my little ole body, but it's not cooperating. So I'm back to bed.

Have a great week everyone!

LOTS OF LOVE ALL THE WAY FROM AUSTRALIA
and I'm off to SAVANNAH

Tomorrow I am on my way to the "Petticoats and Parasols" Art Event in Savannah. I have been waiting months and months and the day has finally arrived. My bags are packed and all I need to do is wake up at 3:30 am and take off for the airport. Most of the ladies are already there having fun, so I am very excited and anxious to arrive, meet everyone and begin to glitz and glam the weekend away (while eating a whole lot of cupcakes).

Before I go, I wanted to share a little "photo shoot" with you of some goodies that arrived in the mail today.

My sweet and dear friend, Peta (Sweet Pearlie May) sent me a package which arrived today. Everything in the box was glittered to perfection and hand-made with my favorite spring colors. Vintage Chenille hearts, a Silver Star cardholder, Heart shaped Sugars and a lovely handmade and decorated Pink egg were all tucked inside the box along with a beautiful and heartfelt card sending lots love to me and my DH.

I pulled it all together and did a little "photo shoot" so I could share the love and happiness with all of you.

Oh btw, if you would like to send me packages of gorgeous treasures just for no reason in particular, feel free! lol There's nothing like receiving scrumptious, hand-made treasures in the mail.

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY
THE SECRET GARDEN SWAP and
my "$100 GIVE-AWAY" continues....

Sweet Sarah Elder from mysocalledjunkylife hosted a wonderful swap called The Secret Garden. Inspired by the book written by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Sarah decided to host a wonderful spring themed swap. The rules were quite simple and very fun indeed.

Think vintage, beautiful roses and flowers, pastels, birds, gardens, old lace and rusty old skeleton keys. You can either use a basket or a embellished paper mache box and fill it with secret treasures. The goodies inside can be handmade, vintage, supplies, etc.

I was partnered with the sweet and giving Rachel Knoblich from Chippycottagecharmhouse and what a boatload of gorgeous treasures, vintage and handmade she sent me. Look at the awesome goodies I received.

I'm in need of some inspiration. Just leave me a quick message here with your suggestions or a link to your blogs with photos of how you display them in your own homes.

Thanks for the help and don't forget to click on the "Follow Me" ---> link for your chance to win my $100 Give-Away. As soon as I reach 500 followers, the lucky winner will be announced.
