A Belated One (and Giveaway)

Time seems to have flown by so quickly that I didn't even register it initially - only in retrospect did I realize that this little blog of mine is now almost 13 months old. So happy bakers' dozen me!

I know I've said this before, but never did I ever imagine when I wrote my first post that over a year later I'd still be posting and that real life people would actually be reading my rambling rambles! Much less such a wonderful community of generous and sharing ladies like yourselves!

As a mini thank you for all of you who have taken time out of your lives to read and comment and share on my blog, I would like to offer up the following for one of my lovely readers to win - the beautiful aspasia necklace from Etsy seller tree & kimball!

tree & kimball is the brainchild of former Anthropologie jewelry designer Lisa Bruemmer and her pieces are designed using recycled patches of vintage lace. The aspasia necklace is a dainty piece I could envision as a great finisher to a filmy top or casualed out just over a striped tee or solid turtleneck.
