Grateful - and a giveaway.........................

And I am, indeed, really thankful

I knew when we sold the last place and bought this one that blogging participation was going to have to take a back seat................I knew I wouldn't have the time I'd like to have to visit you all - or even reply to the incredible comments I receive - what I didn't know - couldn't have possibly ever imagined - was that most of you would stick by my side - travel with me on this fixer upper journey I've embarked on -
( as George Jones famously sang " I must have been out of my mind " )  You've been an incredible source of inspiration throughout this process with words of wisdom and encouragement and undeserved praise constantly and there are many many days when you've lifted my spirits more than you can know.  Truly - more than you can ever know.

Now on to the fun part - I'm not sure if you know that Annie Sloan has developed a Reed Diffuser Scent line?
Caroline from PIORRA MAISON  brought me one as a house warming gift when she came by - and it's heavenly!  The nicest smelling diffuser I ever had - bar none.
So when she graciously offered one to help celebrate reaching a million views I was thrilled.
Although I don't ask anyone to follow me when hosting giveaways - if a product comes from someone other than me I DO ask that you follow them...................please leave Caroline a " like " on her Facebook page
HERE and of course leave me a comment !

And some of you may remember a couple of weeks ago I did a post on my Willow Tree Collection - at the end of the post I showed one I had just ordered - she was called Grateful and asked if you could guess what it was for.
Well - it was to include in this giveaway !
She's beautiful - 9 inches tall - and she was created as a way to express gratitude for friendship.

AND LASTLY:

PARIS IN COLOR

Take a journey through the world''s most romantic city, traveling from color to magnificent color with this beguiling book. An orange café chair, bright blue bicycles against a fence, a weathered white door-Nichole Robertson''s sumptuous photographs of the distinctive details of Paris, all arranged by color, evoke a sense of serendipitous discovery and celebrate the city as never before. At once a work of art and a window into the heart of the city, Paris in Color will surprise and delight those who love art, design, color, and, of course, Paris!

This beautiful  hard cover book will be one you'll find yourself looking at often I'm sure - I ordered one for myself too !!!

Here's a sample of some of the images
