My husband made a new banner and I changed photos on my sidebar (a test photo)……

I reached 300 followers ( I feel a giveaway coming soon)! Thanks to everyone that stops by and leaves a comment! I am always thrilled to read my comments and visit you, too!

One day I got TWO packages in the mail! That’s always exciting!

Diane from Diane Knott's Musings and her daughter Holly from  Finger Lakes Art opened a new ETSY shop, Cottage by the Pond and I won their giveaway!

Diane sent me this box full of goodies (she put in extras, too) !

and Holly sent me a wristlet that she made!

I love everything….and will enjoy all of my goodies! The wristlet is something I can really use! Thank you sweet ladies!

I also found a wonderful giveaway HERE and guess what it’s called? Lavender Dreams! Doesn’t that sound perfect for me?!!

And here’s another giveaway I would love to win…or for one of YOU to win! Lydia is giving away one of my favorite aprons made by Marie Madeline's Studio ..enter HERE !

I must comment on your banner. It speaks to my heart. I miss those Blue Ridge Mountains so much. I visit them every October. Can't wait!! What treats visits from blogging friends are--and, then when one gets those lovely packages in the mail it's very special.
Hope you continue to have a lovely week.

Best,
Bonnie

Thanks for stopping by my blog and following me! I saw a border of lavender in front of a restaurant that i visited this last week and posted a pic of it at my blog. While eating dinner I was thinking of you! I love your blog and after visiting NC in July I love your state! Congratulations on winning the giveaway from Holly and Diane as well as having 300 followers!

Oh Diane, I love the new banner. Is that one of your photos? What lovely gifts you received...it's so much fun getting "squishy" envelopes in the mail!

I hope your week just continues to get better and better!
