Celebrations and Gift Certificate Giveaway!!!


Good morning! What a beautiful day it is this morning- we have all sorts of celebrations today... so I am going to begin our contest today instead of waiting til I have my 100th entry....- Today Dan and I are celebrating our 12th Anniversary-- (hard to believe we have been married for that many years- ) I woke up to beautiful french tulips and my coffee on the island- ( I know... I am easy... this is what makes me happy...)

We are celebrating the store's birthday- We have been in our new location for 3 years now ( 9 years all together... Wow- how time flies!)

We are celebrating our blog (98 posts really... not 100- but oh well...)- with a give-away-
We are going to be drawing a comment from our blog to give a gift certificate to- If we have 40 comments... the gift certificate will be $40, 68 comments... $68. and so on- up to
a $100. gift certificate- Will you let us know how you found us and a tidbit about yourself?

For you folks who live out of town... we can either do a certificate or a surprise gift of the same value ( that I will put together and send off to you...) Whatever your preference....
We would love to see who is reading our blog and hear your thoughts- so please let us hear from you!-
Have a Blissful Day!!!

AprilHaymorePhoto said...

Happy Anniversary! I found your blog by typing your store name on yahoo! I am lucky enough to live in Gilbert so I can shop at your store!

Sue said...

Happy Anniversary! Jules sent me over. I just checked out your store and signed up for emails. Yippee, wish I lived closer to touch and see everything!

Joyce said...

I just moved to AZ 9 months ago and I was told about your store and that is how I found your blog! Congrats on your anniversary! I haven't gotten to your store yet, but I hope I can soon!!

Tanya said...

Sounds like you have a sweet husband. Its the small things in live that matter most anyways.

I came over from Jules. Who I met from Manic Mom, who I found from Swishy, who I found from... umm... I don't remember, but I'm here now!

Lilith Silvermane said...

Well.. here I go. I found you through Google Blog. And, I am sitting here at 10:38pm MST, outside of lovely Denver, Colorado. (70 degrees on Saturday, snow everywhere today. Yep.. it's lovely.)
I have to say your blog is the happiest I've read all night. It is evident that you enjoy what you are doing!
Happy Anniversary, I hope the shop is going fine.

If I won.. I'd love a surprise. I think those are the best things to get in the mail. Being a mother of 6, I don't get alot of those so, it would be wonderful!
Regardless of the outcome, I hope you have a great Monday.

Cara said...

I LOVE your store and am so happy you have a blog! I don't get to come into the store as often as I'd like because I'm kinda far away but any chance I get I tell people to go if they are ever in Mesa! I even bring my out-of-towners as one of our site seeing trips! So Happy Anniversary to you and here's to many many more!

TheVasquez3 said...

Irishmama said...

Happy Anniversary and Happy March! I found your blog through a blog called Just Because.....which I found because the writer of that blog left a message on my blog........and so on and so on.

ducklips said...

First, happy anniversary and birthday of your store. I have to tell you I love it. My sisters and mom and I always ooh and ahh over everything there. We are from Chandler so it is not too far.

My name is Elise and I found this blog through a someone's comment on a friend's blog (Kristy Lara). I'm so glad I did. you can find me at www.hirdfam.com, or photo@hirdfam.com.
What a fabulous idea for a giveaway.

Kelly said...

It was a very round about way that I discovered you! I googled "shabby chic" one day and was looking among the many sites that came up and found an article from one of your local newspapers about you and your store. It had pictures of your home on it and your website (I believe). Anyway, I've been hooked ever since. I live completely on the opposite side of the country from you. I live in GA! I wish I could go to your store though. I love it (through pictures). I also have the book that your home is featured in. You should consider posting updated pictures of your home on your blog. I'd love to see the new ones. Your house is so charming! Anyway, that's my story. Keep up the interesting blogs since that's my only way of keeping in touch with you.

I'm here via Jules (like a few others it seems!). Love your site and I wish I was close enough to visit your store in person. However, I'm in Atlanta which is very far away.

Happy Anniversary!

I just stumbled upon your blog this morning while surfing - have bookmarked and will make this one of my daily stops. We also have an anniversary this month - on the 13th - This year will be number 15! Wow! Doesn't seem possible! LOL

ZB said...

I'm Ashley (onehm)'s friend. We've met a time or two over the years. I love love love your store---even before you got to the new location. I think you have exquisite taste. Sadly, I no longer live in AZ. Maybe someday you could open a branch of your store in Utah. I think you'd be surprisingly pleased at how well you would do. I can only dream!

Happy Anniversary ---especially the marriage part! That's probably the best accomplishment of all.
