Embroidered Pretties For You!

Thank you so much for reading my blog!!

Garden of Daisies passed another blogging milestone a few days ago.
(Two actually.  200 posts and 400 followers.  Made me happy.)
So it's giveaway time!!



I rounded up a few pretty embroidered pieces from 
some of my favorite etsy and ebay sellers.
(andie52rose @ ebay,  bugsie @ etsy,  and dreamcottageboutique @ etsy)

A set of embroidered pillowcases. 
Notecards made from vintage linens. 
And a lavender scented sachet made from old linens and lace.



For a chance to win:
 be a follower of my blog (old or new) and 
 leave a comment on this post letting me know you are 
interested in entering this giveaway.

ALL followers may enter, old or new.  And I will ship to wherever you live.  

 Giveaway ends at midnight on Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2011.
One winner will be announced on Wednesday, Aug 31.
Good luck to you! 

I appreciate you and all the kind and thoughtful comments you leave for me. 
Thank you for following my blog!


(PPS-  I should have used the term "long time", not "old".
Thank you for having a good sense of humor.)

    I noticed yesterday that your followers numbered over 400. That is such a blessing to me because I can remember when you started back over from scratch due to a computer glitch. That was when we got acquainted. So glad we found one another.

    I'm so glad you told me! I'd hate to miss out on this giveaway--embroidery is one of my favorite things!! I don't know what's up with Blogger. I changed a setting a few weeks ago so that I wasn't a "no-reply" blogger. You should be able to answer comments from me directly from your email now. I hope this helps. Gee, I've got 249 posts and only 115 followers..."you done good" as my English teacher dad would always kid :)

    OH, oh, oh I hope I win this! I collect vintage pillow cases too. I also use vintage bed sheets found in thrift stores which I am told is disgusting. I think it is better than hotel bed sheets and nobody finds them gross. (Well, the comforter is nasty) But the sheets have probably only been used by one family. I wash them twice then enjoy vintage cotton. So smooth and thick and the colours! The colours!
