alOha Lovelies : )
Well, today is our 4 year (7-7-07) wedding anniversary. Yay : ) And to celebrate we're going to do a giveaway!
To enter the giveaway, you have to be a follower of ours, and just leave a comment below telling us something that you enjoy seeing, doing, or tasting (one of our friends keeps a list of things he enjoys on his i phone, and "watching cartoon cats eat fish" was one of them .. when I saw that, I smiled ... I like that too, especially when they pull the fish back out and it's just a skeleton ; )
Also, if you do a blog post about this giveaway/ the candles or our blog, or a twitter, face book post or whatever, we'll put your name in the hat thrice, so you'll have three chances to win : )
We'll be sending off three boxes to three very lucky people, the grand prize is the set of five candles below (two of which are not even for sale on our site yet!!)
Then we'll also be giving away the lovely set of inkwells, and Mason and Milk Weed Cream set.
We'll pick the winners from the hat 7 days from today, so please stay tuned.
Okay - we'll start off with a few things that we enjoy:
Juwels says me and I say she, but she also says "dew drops on spider webs"
Dolphin sightings from the sand
The gloaming hour
Vivaldi
Bees
Raw Chocolate
Sleeping in tents
Two-dollars bills
Guilty laughter
Street performers

The smell of a jasmine vine on a cold night

Hi!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading on the porch early in the morning, summer breezes, winter sunshine, ocean waves, 6 yr olds with missing teeth, theater kids, mushrooms that pop up overnight in my garden, trees with green leaves, teens that talk to adults, and old houses, to name a few.
I enjoy climbing up rocks and hiking to the top of the hill to enjoy the view~!
ReplyDelete:)
Happy Anniversary! Wonderful giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love watching my kitty explore the great outdoors on her supervised walks. :)
I LOVE reading the Winnebago Diaries!!! Each post is sweeter than the last. I linked you up to my blog when you first started out and I saw you on an Etsy feature :
ReplyDeletewww.canucked.wordpress.com
Thank you so much for your writing. It really is wonderful to read about two people living with such enthusiasm and verve and you write with so much love.
Twilight, that gorgeous turquoisey-blue time between day and night with one or two stars peeking through...
ReplyDeletehammocks, and that sleep in the sunlight somewhere between waking and dreaming...
fireflies/lightnin bugs...should you ever get to witness hundreds upon hundreds twinkling in great big oak tree woods on a warm summer night in the south...it is truly magical and really did take my breath away once...
Blowing "wishing flowers"...little white dandelions...
waking up in a field of morning glories (true story)...
traveling in the world or in my thoughts
being a bathtub mermaid
the beautiful magical northern lights
my daughter's belly laugh when she was three, if I could have trapped it in a shell to hold to my ear whenever i wanted, I would have...
spiritual wisdom and understanding
lying in the bottom of my canoe and looking at the clouds...sigh
being inspired, inspiring someone else...
looking at, thinking about, and making art
beautifulness and my ability to see it as I grow more and more...
love, love, and love.
