The August Giveaway Winner Is.......

Putting all the entries for followers
and all the entries for August comments
Into my adored Prim Mixing Bowl
I closed my eyes, spun round three times
and chose the winner
(tho I couldn't read it till my head stopped spinning, lol
next time I may skip the three times round spin :-)

The winner found upon the folded paper:

Congrats on winning the August surprise drawing Wendy!!

My humble August 'Surprise' Drawing Included
A Joan Kessler Fabric Remnant (44 in x 20 in)

I adore the pattern - the background is old fashioned blue & white
ticking and is overlayed with oldtime seedpackets
flowers and bees buzzing hither and thither
(as bees are wont to do) 

Also several feet of delicate lace trim
And a vintage album for 'snaps' or poems or anything
dear to the heart for safekeeping!

My heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you
who followed, chatted thru comments, sent emails
Gosh what fun it was and is to have met you all!
Already your comments and insights have

led me down fascinating paths of thought!
Conversations greatly enjoyed.
My hope is that you depart my pages when you

visit with a thought, a smile, an idea that adds to your day
as you add to mine.....

My thanks again to

Amy of BumbleBeeLane

for the kind care she took to
share this humble little giveaway of mine!

Wendy I've emailed you - send me your addy
and I hope ever-so that you'll enjoy

these August Surprises from me to thee.....

DRAT!

Blogger keeps eating or losing or something-ing

the drawing prize picture! Argh!

It just won't do to announce the winner

without being able to show what she won!

So don't give up on me

If blogger won't cooperate with me soon
I'll post the pic elsewhere and provide a link
(just not my fav option)

Pout pout pout
(lol)

Anyone Seen Summer?

As I type this you'll find me wearing a sweatshirt AND the light is on in the room because it's so grey outside. So cool windows are closed. Lightning, thunder, heavy rain most of yesterday once again ~ leaving me with blinking power, no-longer-functioning sat-tv and needing to wear my pink wellie mud boots. Each of these normally unheard of this close to July! It's not a problem of significant status considering what so many are dealing with for certain. But it's weird.

AND the flickering power has put me behind in my uploads of pictures & details my very first blog/barn giveaway (exciting)!

So please swing back over the coming days ~ I'd love to have you join in the fun!

In the meantime I'm hoping it warms enough to shed the sweatshirt and dries out enough outside to do some weeding and lawn mowing (that's one thing about cool and rain, the plants 'n grass love it, lol)

Giveaway & Big Sale at Big Old Red Barn Next Week!

Woot!

I calculated how much paint the old girl needs
(a bazillion gallons)
THEN I calc'd how much that paint will cost....
