Hey, let's celebrate, come on.......................

Starting today with the drawing for my giveaway - such fun. So grateful to all of you who entered by leaving kind comments on my 100th post - hopefully I can keep going and share more interesting things with you. As many of you know - especially the Anglophiles out there - I'll be "crossing the pond" in October, first time since starting my blog, so will take plenty of photos of cottages and such to share with you.

So, a celebration is in order............................
I do love hats, especially vintage looking hats - here's a few of my Summer ones. The two gimp braid hats were custom made by a designer friend and I just love them. The tan one I wear a lot in Summer as it looks almost like a straw hat - the cream one comes in handy for weddings and such. The cinnamon color one with pretty roses is amazing - light as a feather fabric (stuffed with tissues for this pic) - found in a quaint little hat shop in Tiberon, CA when visiting a few years ago. All these hats flatten and pack easily - nice to tuck in luggage when traveling - never know when a wet or windy day of sightseeing may need a hat.
Oh my gosh, I'm digressing and making this a fashion post instead of a fanfare for the WINNER!
......................who is........................... Mary at http://isabellascloset.blogspot.com/
Congratulations dear Mary - hope you will enjoy the little gifts.
Please e-mail me with your mailing address. I'll get the parcel in the mail this week.

So, hats off to Mary. This is such fun and I won't wait for the 200th post, I'll plan another giveaway long before then - already have a new idea in mind for some special items to share. All you artistic "crafty" gals - you know who you are - will love it......... so keep watching.

Again, thanks for visiting me. I love hearing from my wonderful circle of friends and sharing in all your varied interests. Hope this will be a great week...........and don't forget your hat!

  2. Hi Mary,

    Thanks for your message. We go this Friday - I'm so excited that I can't sleep! I keep looking on webcams at various Vancouver places but of course it is nearly always dark at night when I am looking from the UK!
    Hope that you have a lovely week.

  4. I can't wait to see the pictures of the cottages. You keep up the good work of blogging. Your blog is one of my favorites. I realy love that you love to travel. I love to travel also but sometimes money keeps you close to home but home is where the heart is also.
