Can you believe that my little blog is already a year old!?
I know I can't.
I am so thankful for all of you. Your love, support, kindness, thoughts, and encouragement have meant so much to me over the past year. I feel so blessed by the friendships I have made and by the amazing people I have met.
As a thank you, I wanted to put together a little giveaway. Truth be told, I wish I could give something to each and every one of you. But, I hope that one of you will really love to receive this prize.
I put together a few of my very favorite things to give away. First, a chalkboard that I made that measures 15 1/2" x 9". I forgot to take a picture of the back, but it is just as cute as the front. I Mod Podged vintage book pages on it. It is hung by a cream satin ribbon.

Also, I have included a book of perfectly aged vintage sheet music, and a bunch of lavendar from right here in Idaho. My sweet neighbor gave this to me from her yard last summer and it smells like heaven.
I also included 18 grey and white swirly straws for your next party. I <3 swirly straws!
The little vintage milk glass in the picture is also included. Don't you just love its pedestal base?
And, last but not least, I have included one of my Pottery Barn knock off burlap table runners that measures 68" x 16 1/2". {Tutorial Here}. I washed the burlap so it is much softer and doesn't smell bad. {Washing and cutting burlap tutorial Here}
To recap, if you win, you will receive:
~a book of sheet music
~swirly straws
~vintage milk glass
~a bunch of heavenly lavendar
~a burlap table runner
