From me to you...a surprise giveaway
Dear Friends
I have been thinking of a giveaway for some time and collecting little treasures on the theory of 'one for me and one for you'. That one big prize has been on my mind but nothing has called out to me. So, I am going to do something different. I am going to giveaway my little treasures and personalise the giveaway to the individual winner. There will be five winners and I won't know who is getting what till I know who has won. I am hoping that this works as I love to pick up this and that and I would love to share them with you.
Just what is in my little treasure box?
A few of my favourite things wrapped up in brown paper packages and tied up with strings...
Items that interest me...all the things that make up my blog... music, cooking, art, reading, writing, beauty...little things. The sort of things you can appreciate every day, that will hopefully bring a smile when you do. This is when I need to ask you to have a little faith in me :)

Oh, and the last book I read was 'Wide Open' by Nicola Barker. A bit grim, but a fascinating writer.
ReplyDeleteHello Jeanne... this is fun to say the least! Even if I don't win, it was great to see personal stuff about you and read what others had to say.
ReplyDeleteSo here it goes: Well darlin, I follow three of your blogs, obviously this one, and then Finding my Way and In one Place.
As for me:
My Eyes are blue/grey
Without a doubt, Spring is my favourite season, my heart literally pounds in my chest when I hear the Robins singing, then I know it is not too far away.
My favourite perfume (at this moment) is one called Pacifica's French Lilac.
I am crazy about books and I have five on the go right now: Stretching for Dummies, retirement planning by Gail VAz-Oxlade, french decor, Change your brain Change your Body by Dr. Amen and Committed by Liz Gilbert.
I don't go to movies very much anymore because I have to go an hour and half either direction to get to other cities to see them. But I did see Eat Pray Love just before xmas.
As for music, I have been feeling stressed so I bought this one called Zen Garden, it's so relaxing.
There you be darlin....
Cheers to you
Tracy

- My eyes are hazel
- Favorite season...this is tough. Adore Spring and Adore Fall. Spring #1 because of new growth and gardening season. Fall in New England is breathtaking!
- I don't wear perfume and a pet peeve of mine is the highly perfumed inserts in magazines! I do, however, love the scent of lily of the valley and anything lavender scented.
- Currently reading: The Food Matters Cookbook by Mark Bittman. (I collect and read cookbooks all the time.) I'm on a waiting list at the library for The Help.
- Last movie we saw was Inception
- Last CD purchased was James Taylor at Christmas
