Spring Huh?

And it's still snowing!

First Day Of Spring Giveaway

Seems like spring hasn't realized it's arrived here in the Pacific Northwest.  The past three weeks Mother Nature has given us a light dusting of snow on Sundays and Mondays, strange.  The last two days have been filled with rain.  Don't get me wrong, I love the rain, just expected something different on the First Day of Spring.  Anywho, as I sat here milling about the net, looking at my expired listings on Etsy, I thought, hmmm, rather than to relist the following item I decided to do a giveaway.  So many people favored this item from my shop and therefore I figured would be a nice prize.  Here I have this...

Lovely White Bone China Owl Figurine

It is approximately 6" tall

and 4" in diameter at the base.

Made in Taiwan so I'm dating it to the 60's or 70's

To enter this giveaway, all one has to do is post a comment telling me which item they favorite from any of the 5 shops listed in my weekly sideline featurette or either of my two etsy shops NeverTooOld or Vintagicity.  One entry per person.  

This giveaway will begin today March 20, 2012 and end on Saturday March 31, 2012 at midnight EDT.  The winner will be announced in a new post on April 1, 2012 (no jokes, really!! lol).  This giveaway is open to U.S., Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand residents.

I hope you enter, I wish you luck, and as always, Thanks for stopping by!!

With Heavy Heart

I've been wanting to write in regards to all who have lost loved ones, your homes, and all that was dear to you. In the wake of tornado's that wreaked havoc across the midwest, I write this with heavy heart and although I cannot be there, I want you to know that many of us on the west coast are with you in spirit.  Words cannot express the grief.  Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
