In Celebration, 10 Years of Blogging Giveaway!

Hi Friends!

Hope you had a great weekend.

Here in Texas we enjoyed spring like weather 

and

it was the perfect time to be out in the garden.

So, that was exactly what I did.

I prepared the garden for spring,

 cleaned out the beds 

and planned a bit of garden styling.

Our high was 87 degrees.

I hate to even share that knowing so many of you are shoveling snow!

I remember what that was like having grown up in Michigan.

However, spring is coming eventually!!

So let's get on with the giveaway as promised in my last post of

 In Celebration.

If you missed it, click on the link above to share in the memory!

But before I share the giveaway gifts,

I want to take a moment and thank you all for your kind comments and visits.

It has been a fun journey blogging and the time has flown by.

I've seen so many changes since the start of my blogging journey.

Way back when, there were no followings, bloglovin, google friends connect or linky followers.

Yes, we found each other the old fashion way,

 by visiting and leaving comments so we could return the visit.

Too many times now, bloggers sign up to follow on google but without leaving a comment,

you can't find them to visit back!

For some, this is fine and maybe this is what they want and not a blogger.

But for most of us trying to learn our audience, a comment helps greatly.

I still believe the best way to grow your blog,

is visits and comments.

Without them, bloggers can't get to know you

or think you care to visit their site!

Now to say thank you for all your visits, comments and friendship over 10 years,

is a few goodies I hope you will enjoy!

This sweet keepsake box from my shop,

 Rose Garden Market 

will arrive filled with a few treats.

Since we are still in the cozy winter days of February,

I'm sending the latest issue of

American Farmhouse Style.

I hope you will curl up to read it

and slip on these cozy slipper socks while enjoying some delicious

Ghiradelli Chocolates

For a girly touch, I'm including this

pretty gold pouch set from Waverly.

I also have some wonderful products for you to try from two lovely etsy shop owners.

Angela from, Little Hope's Blessings 

and

Judy from, Homemade SoapNSuch

Both these products are wonderful and beautifully created.

The lotion is luxurious with a fresh scent of vanilla and leaves the skin soft and moisturized.

The soap is a treat for the skin as well and

all vegan created with a fresh scent of peaches and almonds.

This soap leaves the skin clean, moisturized and non drying.

Next,when the weather does finally break and you can get outside in your garden,

I have a little sign I hand painted and created perfect for your door,

gate, add to a wreath or pass on to someone who does garden.

Lastly, for some fun,

I'm including a gift card for 25 dollars to Dollar Tree.

We all love to shop the goodies there for crafting,

gift making or home essentials.

So have some fun on your next trip to Dollar Tree.

To enter and play along,

 just leave a comment as many times as you want till March 1st,

follow along here or on Instagram.

Let me know where, so I can count your entry.

The winner will be announced March 1st, 2017.

Thank you for stopping by to celebrate.

Have a great week and see you soon!

Gorgeous Giveaway Gifts

Before Christmas I had the joy of winning a giveaway from Katherine of The Chatelet. She is an amazing talent and the gifts she sent are stunning.

Even the box was decorated so chic with vintage book papers and glittered silver snowflakes.

When I opened this beauty, I found this sight nestled within shredded book pages for protection. A gorgeous tussie shaped ornament in it's own cone shape bag.

This beautiful card was also included from  Katherine.

Next was this gorgeous sheer bag holding one of her lace and embellished soaps. Just stunning.

And if this in not enough, three more gorgeous decorated boxes hold three of the most beautiful ornaments created by Katherine. Glass and lace in red, gold and black with vintage accents. Simply beautiful.

Aren't these just stunning? If you have not yet met the talented Katherine from The Chatelet, stop by and say hello. You will enjoy your visit.

Thank you so very much Katherine. I am so blessed to have won your lovely giveaway.

 I will cherish these pretties always.

 

Hope everyone had a special Christmas.

 

I will be taking a bit of time to enjoy my family and a much needed break

.

See you in the New Year.

 

Love, Celestina Marie

Scrapbook supplies to create with and vintage cake picks bring memories of childhood.


Pretty aqua necklace made from a Scrabble letter, dessert book with tiny wisp. Cupcake template and darling cupcake fabric.
