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

    Typewriters

    Young coconuts 

    The smell of a jasmine vine on a cold night

    Accents

    Lucid Dreaming

    A good cup of Chai

    Twitterpated butterflies

   Prickly pear cactus fruit

   Baby skunks

   ... okay, on to yours : )

  15. Walking... walking... walking.
    Seeing people enjoy what they do, you can tell by the way they smile when they are doing whatever it is.
    Snow peas... yum.
    And caterpillars, they are magical.

    And this tumblr-post is for you...

    squeezing in brief studies of tcm
    intermittently dancing and washing dishes
    floor length white cotton curtains in the breeze of an open window

    my kid's toys scattered all over the floor
    my collections of beach pebbles, crystals, birds nests, and fossilized sand dollars
    my collection of wild rose buds
    my collection of tiny things and miniature abalone shells that random people have given me
    long flowy skirts made from cotton
    bare belly
    the top off the jeep
    wind
    dogs cats and chickens that happily co-exist while in the house but revert to their natural predator/prey status once in the front yard
    shades of blue tie dye velour cropped hoodie (the one in my head which hasn't been made yet)
    talented storytellers with love and heart
    water
    pearls

  33. Hi!
    I 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.

  36. 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 :

    www.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.

  37. Twilight, that gorgeous turquoisey-blue time between day and night with one or two stars peeking through...

    hammocks, 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.
