My Belated Blogiversary
With all the hoopla going on around here, it seems as though I completely forgot my Blogiversary! Shame on me. I'm so glad I have such a forgiving Blog. But not being one to let a celebration pass by, as the saying goes, Better Late Than Never! I had some time to go apple picking this weekend and "pick" up a few Fall inspired goodies to give away. For those of you who leave a comment, I will draw a name on Wednesday night and announce the recipient on Thursday.
The goodies include the latest Living magazine from the Queen of Good Things herself, a beautiful box of note cards, a vintage skeleton key tied with velvet ribbon and a gorgeous rust colored tassel.
I also tucked in a pair of Autumn hued kitchen towels and a Sweet Sparrows hook to hang them with.
And finally, to keep your house smelling of homemade seasonal goodness, an atomizer of Pumpkin Patch room spray.
This past year (or more) has been a complete joy meeting all of you. It cannot go without saying that it's been blessing upon blessing for me as I've shared my thoughts, ideas, celebrations, family and daily life with you. I thank you all for welcoming me with open arms and warm hearts!
Here's a few of my favorite photos from our Apple Day this weekend. It was an all girls trip with my Sister, Neice, Mom and Sweet Girl coming along for the adventure. We spent a gorgeous day in the mountains, with lots of laughs, too many sweets and plenty of memories to spare!
My Neice was a big hit at the petting zoo, all the animals LOVED her and I don't blame them one bit! This was my favorite part of the day because I have so many wonderful memories bringing Sweet Girl here when she was this age and it just made my heart so full being able to go down memory lane. You know, when it gets down to it, life really is about the small stuff. It's funny how it takes getting older to understand it! May you all have a week of small stuff!
Oh, I'm probably too late! But I will throw my name in anyway. Your blog is one of my Favorites!
