I heart YOU~Giveaway

 I can't think of a better way to tell you how much I appreciate YOU...
I am truly thankful for each of you who reads along here and in the magazine...your kindness warms my heart. Really...how can I thank you for being so supportive of my efforts?
How about a giveaway?
ONE sweet follower will receive the items pictured above. I'll be sending you one of my hand-cut silhouettes and a fancy wool heart stitched with love, from me to thee...as well as the spring issue of Mercantile Gatherings Magazine...filled with wonderful homes, stories, gardens, and projects. TWO additional followers will receive a copy of the spring magazine.

Here's what you must do to enter...
...first, you must be a follower of my blog. Next, leave a comment on this post telling me which of my blog posts is your favorite and why...kind of a, "I'd like more of this kind of post please". Last, please tell me if you are already a subscriber to Mercantile Gatherings Magazine (I'd hate to send you something you already have-I'll send you something else.)
I am truly thankful for each of you who reads along here and in the magazine...you warm my heart.
I'll draw the winners on February 21st, one week from today.
 Until then, I wish you love... 

Regretfully this giveaway is open to US and Canadian residents only.

  1. What a wonderful, generous giveaway!
    Favorite type of posts??? Yikes - do I have to limit it to just one?? I love posts about your finishes of items that you are creating, I love posts about the treasures that you find, I love posts about your family and faith. Can you tell that I just LOVE your blog and am a frequent follower?!
    Wishing you a Happy Valentines Day!
    Thank you for inspiring me so!
    Blessings, Patti
    p.s. I am a subscriber to Mercantile Gatherings, but wouldn't mind a second copy. I treasure mine so and don't share as I should with friends not familiar with it...

  4. I'm a follower. Unfortunately, I had to let my subscription to Mercantile Gatherings lapse awhile ago, so I'd LOVE to get a copy of the new issue! My favorite posts are where you show the newest projects that you're working on, and what treasures you've brought home from the thrift stores. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that sweet heart!

  6. Oh my goodness - what a wonderful, wonderful giveaway - you are so generous. Please include me in the drawing. I am already a follower. I recall, without looking, the post that meant the most to me...and that was the one you recently made about "No greater love" - It is so lovely to see faith expressed so meaningfully, and the post brought tears to my eyes.
    I am a follower of your blog and I do not subscribe to Merchantile Gatherings (I usually pick up my copy at my local shop).
    Thanks so much for offering this wonderful giveaway! - pets to the doggies :-)

  8. Well Rhonda,
    I REALLY loved your last post regarding your faith, I really was blessed by that, and of course, I also loved the post you did with your most wonderful beeswax hearts that I so adore!
    I enjoy each post, and I would love to be considered for your giveaway.
    I did have to let my MG subscription go as well.
    Either way, win or not, I'll still be a fan!
    I have my eye for some of those hearts, and as soon as I can afford some, I do plan to get a few! LOL!
    Have a good evening.
    Blessings,
    Renee

  9. Rhonda, I've been following you through Google Reader for a few weeks, but I joined the followers list through this page today, also.
    I like your blog as it is, I like seeing photos of the antiques in your home, the projects you make, and your puppies are very sweet. I hope to have a Corgi someday.

    My favorite post is the one of the hats~ I so loved how you told the story of standing at an auction all day to purchase the bonnet of Jane Austen~ and then the pic of you wearing a bonnet so cute~ I loved it~ I like stories behind the items~ I like that you posed with one~ it was simple and true to life!

    I already sign up for Merchantile Gathering~

    I just finished reading your piece Monday night~ as usual~ loved it~ going to Grandma's~ her cake~ hunting for eggs~ watching Lawrence Welk show~ coloring eggs~ the finding an outfit~ then all getting dressed up~
    It takes me back to growing up~ love your style of writing!
