200 Followers + 100 Ramblings = A Give-Away!

Give-Away now closed - the winner was #104 - BJ of Sweet Nothings.
Thank you for your participation!
Hey everyone!
I wanted to say thank you for your kindness and inspiration! I started this silly little blog in March and it has been fun! I enjoy hearing from everyone and coming up with new things to talk about keeps me on my toes. I'm thrilled to have reached these milestones and tried to think of a gift that would represent my blog, after much thought I decided...
a pound of bacon to the winner!!! Joking:@)

Actually, I stopped by my favorite antique store and this Hobnail Milk Glass Beauty was waiting for me. It's about 7" long by 7" high. Cute!
You all know how much I like my Fenton baskets and comments lean towards you liking milk glass too, so this seemed like a very good fit!

No matter what you use it for, it will always be beautiful!



It's easy to play along, do any or all of the following!


1. Simply leave me a comment making sure I can contact you via e-mail.
2. If you follow leave a second comment stating that too.
3. And if you'd like to post a link to this give-away on your blog (thanks!) leave a third comment letting me know that you did! 
(This is available to ship within the continental US.)



The winner will be picked on Tuesday August 10th at 6PM Eastern time

That's all there is to it, good luck and I hope no one's bummed about the bacon! :@)
I'm joining the following parties:
Mosaic Monday (yes, I promise to figure out how to do a real one...)
Tabletop Tuesday
Toot Your Horn Tuesday
Bloomin Tuesday
Tabletop August
Thrifty Thursday

I don't know HOW to link this over to my post, BUT I will try... and I would LOVE this basket, I can picture it with one of my HUGE blue Hydrangea heads in it..There are SO many different sizes out there so no matter how big this little basket is there is one "waiting"... Thank you for all the fun, Donna
