I promised a winner today....................


......................and it is Sarah, whose delightful blog Hyacinths For The Soul always makes me breathe in deeply hoping to get a whiff of the hyacinths' beautiful perfume. Blue ones are my favorite. My DH dug down deep in the silver jug and pulled out Sarah's name.


Each of you should be the winner because you care enough to take time to read my blog even after three long years! I try not to be repetitious or boring. I like to share photos of the lovely things of life I notice on an ordinary day, or perhaps while on a trip to a new and exciting place. My camera has become my good friend, I do not venture far without it these days.



Thanks for sharing my three year blogging anniversary. Perhaps this year I'll get to meet more of you in person, always fun. I hope to keep things going, sharing lots of pretty things from the local antiques emporiums, thrift shops, flea markets. With warmer weather coming I know I'll be relying on Mother Nature to provide lots of color photos after this often white Winter. Then I'll share my African safari trip with you when I return in late May............that will be a wonderful experience and I hope to have really great photos to show you.

Congratulations Sarah - please e-mail your address and I'll pop your little parcel in the mail next week.

  1. Hey gal, got a new look. Congrats to Sarah. We have snow again this AM. Are you still getting snow? It is supposed to warm up here this week. That would sure be nice. Have a great weekend.

  3. Oh, my!!! I couldn't be more thrilled, Mary. I can't believe I'm the one to get those sweet little spoons. They'll be treasured here for sure!
    Thank you for the kind words about Hyacinths for the Soul. I've not been at this as long as you have. I just recently passed my 100th post. But I have learned that my camera is one of my closest friends who tags along everywhere with me. I strive to be a better photographer, such as yourself. Can't wait to see your photos from the safari.
    Thanks again, sweet friend. I'll email you today.

  10. Congratulations on three years! I think I missed your give away. Sigh! My camera has also become my friend and when I leave it at home I feel lost.
