So,

I'm having a

Giveaway at Heaven's Walk!


Yup

You heard right!

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



And the second giveaway

Yup ~~ you heard right again ~~

there's a second giveaway!

The "Shabby Pink Giveaway" ~

two pink floral ruffled euro shams
a sweet little embossed pink glass jar
and a vintage pale pink rosette iron hook
snuggled into a darling wicker basket.


Oh, and I'll include two of my clay tags, too.

    1. What a sweet giveaway! Both!!!! You are too generous. Congratulations on all of your followers, you deserve every one of them.

      All of your posts are great, but the one that touched me most was when Debbie went into the hospital. You made sure we all knew where to send cards and kept us updated. You are a true friend with a big heart!

    7. One 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

    18. Hi 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.
      I 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

    19. Laurie- if I ever win a give away, this is the one I really would love- the first one!
      You 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

    22. Hi Sweet Laurie,
      The 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!

    44. Hello 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!

    54. You, 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.

      ReplyDelete
    55. Having 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"

      Thank you for taking me on a journey with you!

    60. 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.

    61. I follow you and always will... :)

      My 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.

    66. All is lovely....but I would be thrilled to just have those tags! I like those.

      As 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.

    74. Hello Lovely Laura, I had to think about my favourite post of yours... but you know, (of course I like all of them!) but Sailing Faith I really loved as it was the one that also made me think of my husband, and our future (that maybe one day we will sail... somewhere!) But then, I also loved the post you did on your thanksgiving family get together.. Will definently add a link... sorry i have taken so long to get to this, was meaning to do it long ago, school holidays here and I have been kind of busy!! Hugs and best wishes to you sweetie...
