I feel pampered, spoiled, fortunate, and thrilled to bits!!!
I was a winner in Erin's The Painted Garden first anniversary giveaway. Last Friday was the fun day when the mail carrier left her truck and walked my package up to the front door. Inside was this beautiful WELCOME sign painted on canvas by Erin and........................
.............................a most generous $100 gift card for one of the most beautiful stores, Anthropologie! Luckily a branch opened recently in my area so I'll be heading that way soon to pick out something special.
Congratulations Erin on a whole year of vibrant art shared through your beautiful blog and website.
If you haven't visited Erin you must. This delightful artist paints the breathtaking flowers of Southern California, blending them in to garden scenes, afternoon tea table settings, shoreline vistas and pretty everyday things such as bicycles with flower baskets. Often helped by her 'studio assistant' Bentley............the cutest dog ever.............Erin's colorful art brings happiness to many. If you stop by my cottage you will be welcomed by this lovely sign. Erin, thank you so much.

Congratulations on your win. It is wonderful. I have long admired Erin's talent, and she is such a kind heart.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to let us know what you get at Anthropologie. Are you going to the one near me?
Wow, Mary. congratulations on winning such a grand prize giveaway. I will be sure and visit Erin's blog. I do love all art forms except modern art. I am lacking in culture for that art form. Ha! I will try to reform!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy wonderful day. Enjoy your shopping spree.
Love, xoxo, Jeanne
Congratulations on winning! I always check out Erin's blog since I love her paintings. Did you read where she is having an artist/crafter deal to give arts/crafts to people with cancer? She is truly a sweet person!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful welcome sign, Mary. Congratulations! I need to stop by Erin's. I'm looking forward to seeing what you purchase with the gift card.
ReplyDeleteWe are at the lake. Just arrived. NO WATER!! J inquired about that. They say they are repairing the lines and we should not need to boil the water. I thought we were going to have to turn around and go home! I would be disappointed, because Evergreen's Holiday Open House is Friday and Saturday! Sure would hate to miss that!
What a fabulous win. She surely is talented. I must go to visit.

Congratulations Mary on winning such an incredible little package of gifts! And how wonderful to see you on my blog.

Congratulations! I can't believe that Halloween was the last time I commented here. I missed so many of your posts. But then again you are a very prolific poster. (One who posts? LOL!)
