I'm having a
Giveaway at Heaven's Walk!
I poked around in my kitchke closet...
You know,
the closet where one keeps all of one's treasures
that one buys during the year
(and then doesn't ever use....)?
The closet where if one opens it too quickly
all the treasures come tumbling out onto one's head?
The one that should have a warning sign posted on the door?
The one closet that we really can't live without?
The one closet that we have whether we like it or not?
Yeah, that one.
(I know you have one *wink*)
Well....I've got some fabulous little treasures
just for you, my friends!

The "Beach Blue Giveaway" ~
a jar of beautiful sea glass
Yankee Candle 'Beach-Walk' scented votive candles
a blue ceramic waterlily votive
and a handmade wooden shorebird
all gathered up in a sweet little wicker basket

ReplyDeleteI am your newest follower. Gia 2366@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteOne my my favorite posts is your description of water aerobics - I still giggle when I think about you at your class. Love your giveaways - quite appropriate as I am re-doing the bathroom with a seaside look and, of course, my grandaughter's room can never have enough pink. Hope I win. Gia2366@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous and generous giveaway! I am already a follower of your blog:)
ReplyDeleteA favorite post...hmmmm...you have a lovely post from Christmas that shows your bedroom and it looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteYep, I have one of those too.
ReplyDeleteWould love to win your giveaway. Thanks for the chance.
Amy
What a wonderful giveaway sweetie!! I love all of your treasures. :)
ReplyDeleteI am a happy friend and follower. :)
My favorite post is the I believe the first post that I commented on, but not sure. It was the bat one!! I was laughing so hard and I loved how you told the story! It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship!! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Laurie for your friendship. It is what I value most. I love that sea glass but really am not commenting to enter the giveaway. I have won several giveaways this year and I would rather give another lovely lady a chance. ox I will blog about your giveaway to let others know. Sweet sea kisses to you my friend. ox
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway Laurie...You already know I love you and your sweet blog!
ReplyDeleteLove so many of your posts, but your Beach Breathing post really touched my heart!
ReplyDeleteHave your giveaway on my sidebar!!!
ReplyDeletethx for your visit, Laurie! your blog is lovely, and i'll be back soon. giveaway! giveaway! how generous!
ReplyDeletemichele
Oh you know I want to win those clay tags you made...so much lovelier than my attempt!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie, I'm already a follower, becaue I love your blog. But to be honest, it's not just your blog, it's more to do with you. Your fun vibrant personality shines through in all your posts. I think it's why I love the post where you were getting ready for your vacation and you showed your new swimsuit and flip flops in a pretty bright color, which if anyone reads your blog knows, it reflects your personality to a t.
ReplyDeleteI love that you're sort of Beachy Cottage. I would love to win one of your pretty clay tags. I think they're awesome, xxx tami
Laurie- if I ever win a give away, this is the one I really would love- the first one!
ReplyDeleteYou have picked out some really wonderful things!
Well, you know I'm a follower! I think my favorite post of yours is when you told us about Debbie- because you weren't giving up on her. Your love for her showed in every word you typed and your faith in God kept you from being bitter towards him. You were willing to accept His decision, but you weren't rolling over without a fight. That you came to us and begged for her to be better and for us to pray for her healing. Because that's what best friends do. They love and they fight. My second favorite post was the 2 of you on the beach, smiling in the sunshine. Triumphant. Proof that prayer works and that God is merciful. You are an awesome best friend and Debbie is lucky to have you.
All your posts are great, but those I will always remember.
Hugs- Tete
Lovely Giveaway. I am a follower. Hope to see you at My Dream Canvas.
ReplyDeleteThese giveaways are amazing!! I'm a new follower, hope I win!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sweet Laurie,
ReplyDeleteThe tip that Yvonne helped me with was resizing my pics to get a nice XXL photo - you just resize in your editing program & then in blogger select the "original" size option to resize the photo. Love your clay tags, especially the "merci' one - so cute!

ReplyDeleteSo Cute!!! My dream is to one day live by the ocean!!
ReplyDeleteHello Laurie...I love all of your posts but for my fave, I'll pick March 16, when you were away, and you sent us coconut scented kisses! And I loved seeing the water and the pink and green beach chairs. Of course, I really wishes I WERE there! ha! Take care and keep up the wonderful work on your sweet blog. Susan
ReplyDeletep.s. Whoops. Forgot to say I am a Follower. Plus, I love Yankee candles and that sweet birdie. By the way, I recently did a post on the Yankee Candle Factory in South Deerfield, Massachusetts. Did you catch that, by chance? Take care, Laurie. You are always so sweet and kind. Susan
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie! Of course you know I'm a follower. My favorite post would have to be the aerobics one or hearing about your trip to Florida.

What pretty giveaways!! Congrats on all the followers, it's fun to see your follower # increase. Pretty blog. My name is Laurie, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower! How lovely to be greeted with such beautiful music. And an awesome giveaway to boot! So nice of you to share from your "closet"!
ReplyDeleteI just went an linked to your blog rom my blog! Good luck to everyone!
ReplyDeleteYou, my friend, are a very popular girl and what a sweet way to celebrate! Yes, I have a closet like that but only half of the things in there are things I bought. The other half, embarrassingly enough were gifts to be re-gifted. LOL ... Love, love the beach blue goodies.
ReplyDeleteHaving just become a follower I was roaming around your blog...and down at the bottom there is the section "You Might Also Like" and I see a picture of a little girls on the beach playing in the sand so I clicked on it. So right now I would have to say that my favorite post is that one. What a way you have with words. I was transported to your summers on the beach with your grandparents. I could picture the bed and a little girl all snuggled up under the quilt totally exhausted fro a day of running on the beach.. I so love the idea of bringing your beloved beach memories into your country farm house...and of course the perfect name for you home "Heaven's Walk"
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking me on a journey with you!
I just became a follower!!!
ReplyDeletelove that basket of blue!
warmest sandy hugs..
Loui♥
I'm a new follower! I saw your giveaway mentioned on Completely coastal! I love everything beachy! Thanks! ♥
ReplyDeleteI love the post about the family that sailed...and wrote the book, Sailing Faith. But any of your posts about the ocean..especially with photos of the ocean would be my favorite! Hugs! ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, lovely giveaway and we are happy followers here! :-) Thanks for linking up to Inspiration Friday!

Darling giveaways, Laurie. Congratulations on reaching 300 followers (now 325)! It's hard to choose a favorite post because you write so beautifully but I'm going with the painting about dog heaven (I can't remember the name). That post had me sobbing & really touched my heart. Posted your giveaways in my sidebar, sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteI love the clay tags!
ReplyDeleteI follow you and always will... :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite post of yours (hard to pick) was when you shared about your sister's health. We can only know to pray when our friends share with us their most heavy of burdens...
Love to you...you inspire us all.

I am a follower and my favorite post is Beach Breathing, because I was right there with you - totally getting the writing on scraps and talking to God.

lovely blog! i love the beach too! i live in huntington beach,ca. love everything by yankee candle...would love to win! ellenfryer@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteJust began following your blog, love the beach giveaway. If I win I would have to get you to send it to my good friend, Kathy. They introduced us to Tybee Island, and I've been in love ever since.
ReplyDeleteAll is lovely....but I would be thrilled to just have those tags! I like those.
ReplyDeleteAs for the closet full of stuff one buys and fills with those little gifts we find along the way. I store them in old suitcases. Round ones especially....but your right they are stacked and then I just never open them...oh and there is a closet floor that is a danger zone.
Greetings... i blog hopped into your blog and love it!! Your contest offer is so kind! Looking forward to many visits here.
