My First Blog Giveaway !
Yeah! I'm hosting my first-ever Blog Giveaway, as a small way of thanking my friends for visiting and spending a few moments with me. I've been thinking about having a giveaway for a while but just couldn't decide what I wanted to offer. I've made visits to a couple of local antique stores and finally came home last week with a vintage tablecloth that I thought someone might enjoy using in the coming summer months. The colors are faded and there are a couple of little yellow spots which are barely noticeable. I went through a "spell" a few years ago, collecting vintage tablecloths and I really enjoyed using them on my kitchen table. They are wonderful for picnic tables, too. I enjoyed buying some for my mother .... as she loved making her kitchen "pretty". This one comes freshly laundered from one of my favorite booths in the Packing House Antique Mall in Cambridge, MD. It measures approximately 51" x 45". (click photos to enlarge)
If this is something you would like to have for your home, you may enter the drawing by leaving a short comment on this posting, saying hello ... I will be trying to have giveaways once a month, so if you become a Follower, you will be able to be alerted the next time ....
I am going to do the drawing the old-fashioned way by putting your names in a bowl and letting my husband pull one out ... it just seems more fun that way. And I think I will do that on my sister Nancy's birthday, which is June 3rd. So you have a little more than a week to enter your name.
With love, from my heart to yours ......

How could I possibly pass this opportunity? First, because it comes from you, second because it's beautiful and it really does scream picnics and pretty setting.
You are very thoughtful Frances, plain and simple.

Oooh!!! Pleas enter me in your give-away! Exciting!
As with your other friends and fans, what a beautiful give away. You have an eye for beauty in all it's forms.
Frances....that give away is perfectly you. Please don't enter my name for this one as I don't think I could appreciate it as much as some of the other commenters. I can't wait to see what things you choose in the future.
Pick me, pick me!!!! Looks like one of the tablecloths you gave to mom. If I had it, it would remind me of her.
Very pretty vintage tablecloth! I would love to add it to my collection!
It is truly a lovely giveaway gift to offer and I thank you for the opportunity to try and win it!!
Hugs!

Oh my, that is sooooo beautiful, Frances!!! I really think that we have the same taste... I really love it! And how generous of you to have this give-away! You are amazing! You know where I am and I don't know if I'm qualified here... But if ever I will be lucky, that would be one of the best gifts I will ever receive because it's from you.
This is beautiful and I can just see it on my patio table this summer. Thank you for having such a great give away :-)
I'm so happy to hear from so many of my friends. Thank you. It's going to be really HARD to have to choose just one name out of that bowl. I wish I had a tablecloth to give to every single one of you.
Ooooh! How fun! I love vintage things and this tablecloth is so pretty. My hope chest could use this(or Mom's table).
Oh, I would love to win this, it would fit right in with my homes decor. Enjoying your photos along with my sisters Kellie & Bren :-)

If its not, enter me!
Yes, put my name in the bowl and we'll see what happens.
Will anyone think you cheating if one of your sisters win?
