Isn't this adorable? Kandice, one of my blog readers has donated a piece of her handmade jewelry for a giveaway on my blog! Just leave a comment here by Friday, Feb. 20th by midnight (PST) and I'll use a random number generator to choose a winner!
You can see more of her jewelry by visiting her etsy shop (click here).
I would also like to thank all of you who left comments on my blog and on Facebook, emailed me, called me and even came up to me in the store today regarding the newspaper article! It was so touching to hear from all of you! To be honest, I'm still floating around here with the excitement of it all!
Here is another example of Kandice's beautiful work:
I'm off work tomorrow (Monday) for President's Day and I'm planning to paint Lauren's room. I'll be back with a new post on Tuesday!

What color is Lauren's room. And I'd meant to ask earlier if they both live with you (my 21 YO son is in college and cheaper to live at home--he's never leaving :D)
Seriously, how does Lauren like the girly, romantic look? Does she tend to go the other direction or chime in with you?
I would like to be in your give a way, thank you.

Hi Cindy
I was wondering..am I able to enter somebody? If so i would like to enter Lucinda from Hume Cottage.. she has shown me incredible kindness (when our cafe burnt down she got people to write in a book for us.. all their memories of the wonderful times they had there) I found this to be amazing, humbling and beautiful since I had only met her once.. If I cant enter someone then I would like to withdraw my entry and put hers in... she has had a bit of a rough trot..(read her blog) and you'll see (i have her linked from my page) and I think she would love it
many thanks
*hugs*
