SPRING GIVEAWAY

Around here it feels as though
we're still heavily immersed in our Canadian winter ...

But the Calendar doesn't lie and apparently Spring is set to
arrive in a few short weeks ...
So it is time to announce my

SPRING GIVEAWAY!

When I started my blog I decided I would
have 4 Giveaways that would coincide with
the changing of our seasons.

First up .... a beautiful

STERLING SILVER ROSE
QUARTZ BRACELET
Hand Crafted by Gracie Jewellery

A bracelet of 3-sided Rose Quartz accented with beads of sterling silver hand wrapped with sterling silver. Closes with a sterling silver toggle clasp with oxidized accent.

Rose Quartz Bead 11mm W x 15 mm L
Fits 7½" wrist


KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON
PINK TOTE

GO SHOPPING IN STYLE!
Perfect tote to take along to the Grocery Store or Flea Market!


Digital transfer printed onto a light weight cotton tote that is
reusable with double handles.
A removable flower pin that can be worn on a jacket or left in place on the tote.
Bag should be hand washed in cold water and line dried to preserve the transfer.

And finally, as previously mentioned
~
A copy of

ROMANTIC PRAIRIE STYLE


This SPRING GIVEAWAY
is open to all of my followers.
Leave a comment on this post and I'll enter your name twice.
Blog about my SPRING GIVEAWAY
and let me know and your name
will be entered three times.
I'll draw the winner's name on Sunday, March 27th, 2011.

Giveaway is open to all Countries!

SPRING FEVER IS SETTING IN!

Cheers - Lisa

    Lisa,
    I'm with you about the spring thing. Here I am thinking about planning to do some planting in the backyard and I find out from a neighbor that the last frost can come as late as mid-May... Well that's going to postpone my plans for sure.

    Lovely giveaway, as always :)

    Hi Lisa Sweetie...
    Oh what a beautiful share. I love, love Gracie's jewelry and that pink bracelet is just exquisite. I have so many things I could wear with this.

    Who wouldn't love going to the market or flea market with this Keep Calm and Carry On Bag. I know I sure would. I could even carry it back and forth to work. A treasure to behold. Love the rose accent. Just exquisite.

    I adore this Romantic Prairie Style magazine and could read it cover to cover. How wonderful it looks. I get my best decorating ideas from my magazines.

    I am a follower of course. Love coming over. I have added your giveaway to my scroll bar as well. I love sharing with my friends sweet one. That is how we meet many new friends along the way.

    I hope you have a beautiful weekend and a Magical St. Patty's Day. It is coming. Do you have your green laid out? Pinch, pinch.

    Many hugs and so much love, Sherry

    I just discovered your blog and look forward to exploring it in depth. Spring is taking its good old time in Pennsylvania this year too. I just looked at the forecast for this week and it's supposed to snow on Wednesday! i am going to refrain from hurling myself off a cliff and assume that it is just March going out like a lion- even though it kind of came in like a lion- and count the days until April.
    Thank you for the giveaway. Now I have something else to look forward to!
