Three Year Blogiversary Giveaway

I can not believe I’ve been blogging for three years.  Yesterday (August 3rd) marked this little blog’s birthday. Can you believe it?

I had no idea what was in store when I pushed that publish button three short years ago!  NO IDEA.  This blog has meant so much to me.  My little creative outlet, my space to dream, to paint, to share our life by the sea.

Gosh, I’m getting all misty eyed typing this!

I never imagined that my blog would reach so many new friends when I shared my very first post.  Here it is.  Please don’t laugh.  

How far we have come, huh?!?  Many, many painted furniture projects, finding our dream home, and many, many friendships later.  Here we are!

BUT today I want to celebrate you.  My readers.  So I’m give you all a chance to win this AMAZING giveaway and all you need to do to enter is leave a comment on the blog.

I thought about this and thought what would I want to win…

Here is what is included in this giveaway:

* A handmade driftwood sailboat (the one pictured or I can make you a different one)
* A $100 gift certificate to my Etsy Shop
* A gift basket from the Sea Rose Cottage – Valued at $150
* A $100 gift certificate to the Sea Rose Cottage
* Signed copy of Seaside Tinkered Treasures
* Signed copy of Furniture Makeovers

I found Nancy’s shop, The Sea Rose Cottage, very early on in my blogging adventure.  Three months to be exact!  I still remember walking into her shop for the first time with all of my boys in tow! She graciously answered all my questions on furniture painting and as she predicted I’ve become obsessed.

I’m very honored that Nancy wanted to celebrate this milestone with me.  She’s gifting one lucky reader with this fantastic gift basket a Miss Mustard Milk Paint Starter Kit with All the Fixin’s:

Sea Rose Cottage gift basket

It is filled to the brim with all you need to do your own pieces that have been sitting in the basement or garage.  Included are:

2 milk paint packages in my favorite colors (Ironstone and Eulalie’s Sky)
1 small white wax
1 small furniture wax
1 small antiquing wax
1 milk paint mixer
1 wire whisk
1 paint brush
1 paint & wax brush
1 brush soap
1 Fan Deck
(Product retail total is $150)

I LOVE Eulalie’s Sky, it is one of the prettiest blues, and this piece in my dining room is painted in it:

Ironstone is also a favorite and I think you all know Isla pretty well:

In case there were still more you wanted to buy, like some Chalk Paint® or Annie Sloan’s new brushes, Nancy’s also including at $100 gift certificate to use in her shop.

You will love these waxes and the little mixer!

I’m so inspired by the words and creativity of others.  As many of you know, I met Elyse Major, creator of the blog Tinkered Treasures and author of a book by that name and Seaside Tinkered Treasures.  I celebrated Elyse’s new book at the Sea Rose Cottage in June.  You will love her book and  I had her sign it while I was there!

Another amazing person I’ve met (virtually) through the blog is Barb Blair.  I love her blog Knack and have written to her many times seeking advice and help!  She always writes back with wit and wisdom and friendship.  Her book is amazing. Filled with tips, inspiration and years of dedication.  I asked her to sign this book for you!

Lastly, I thought you might want to win a bit of Finding Silver Pennies.  I made this for you:

The boys and I love collecting the driftwood along the shore here in Scituate.  I particularly love all the holes in this one:

I’m also including $100 gift certificate for my online shop.  Here’s a sampling of what is available:

Danielle, I had just started my first project with Annie Sloan chalk paint when I bumped into you at the Duxbury antique show and seeing your pieces had me more obsessed than I had already been. So, first thing I did when I got home was join your blog! You gave me some great advice in just a few moments and I follow you daily! Since then I have painted so many items alone and with my nieces and sister in law and we are having a great time! I recently bought Miss Mustards Seeds book and my next project… Read more »

I think blogs are fabulous ways of …….”having coffee with a friend”……..”sharing a secret”…….”asking another for help on a project”……women value knowledge that they receive from other women. Starting a project or finishing one….finding the courage from the written word….having an “ah ha moment”……. when learning that another has given you the ability and facts for their experiences to complete and conquer another creative project……or simply sharing laughter or tears……
I always say blogs are…..”beautiful-learnings-of-good-souls”…….thank you for sharing yours …..with all of us these past three years.

Happy 3 years, lady!
