Is it really almost Friday? Where did the week go?
On my Nifty Thrifty Tuesday post I announced an upcoming giveaway I was going to have to celebrate my 50th birthday. I'm still having the giveaway.....50 items for my 50 years.....but bear with me for a couple of more days as I organize and photograph all of the items. I have had a lot of fun uncovering all sorts of wonderful, vintage items to include in the giveaway but I also underestimated the time it would take to get the giveaway organized. I promise, it will be worth the wait!
Now I want to give you a sneak peek of a few of the items I selected. I hope you like them!
An altered bottle I created, a pin-cushion I made using a silver sugar bowl and a snowman I created using a vintage silver salt shaker. The red book is included too.
A Baby Ben alarm clock, silver dish and a small heart that I created from a vintage quilt.
Addition flashcards from 1959 and a glass flower frog.
A beautiful ironstone platter.
Look at the gorgeous bird and bird nest design on the platter (I'm having a hard time giving this one away).
And pink Shiny Brite ornaments (4)
They look great on the ironstone platter.
OK, there's your sneak peek!! I'll be back with all of the other goodies and the official "rules" in a couple of days.
I hope everyone has a wonderful, relaxing, Memorial Day.
Jane
I'm glad you are having fun with this, because I'm sure having fun looking! I have always loved those snowmen!
ReplyDeleteOh my I love it all so far! Whoever wins this will be one lucky gal or guy!
ReplyDeleteI am getting excited already. Everything looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat's gonna be one fun picnic! My giveaway is over, please stop by when you have a chance :)
ReplyDeleteNow I'm gonna cry. My dad had that very same Baby Ben alarm clock on his bedside table for as long as I can remember. Now,I wonder what ever happened to it? He's been gone for 5 years now and it's been hard, really hard without him.
ReplyDeleteThose are very nice, very generous presents! What a cool way to celebrate your 50th. I'm turning 50 myself later this summer.
ReplyDeleteWoiw - that's a whole lot of giveaway! Cool stuff!
ReplyDeleteLooking good! This is going to be fun seeing what all you come up with! Blessings, Vicky

I love it all, especially the things handmade by you, so much talent there. I love the bottle and the leopard material on the pin cushion is Mammy Fabulous! I hope your having a wonderful birthday week! Theresa

ReplyDelete50 Years Old? You lucky thing! That was such a fun year. Fifty is Fabulous!!! (and so is this giveaway, by the way).
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you didn't realize just how many items 50 was going to be to giveaway, Jane! : ) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteJane, when my girlfriend turned 50 I bought her 50 gifts...It took a few months to put it all together, but it was so much fun to watch her open them - and many had a significance to them!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Jane! You're going to have the best giveaway ever in the history of blog giveaways. I can't imagine what the shipping is going to cost you. That platter is beautiful...I don't know how you're parting with all of these wonderful items. But then you have such great luck finding stuff I'm sure new treasures will take their place. :-) Have a great holiday weekend!

Your sneak peek is definitely leaving me wanting more! But I don't want to be greedy - lol! Can't wait to see all of the photos! =) Hope you're having a great holiday weekend!
ReplyDeleteJeanine
That really is a marvelous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteAnd take your time getting organized, I remember how long it took me to pull all the stuff together for my flea market giveaway a couple of months back. It was like a full-time job all by itself! :-)
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Anne
Ooooh, I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI really like your new "banner" above. It's lovely and it truly showcases what you collect, do, and cherish. The family picture I'm sure will be missed.
ReplyDeleteAlso, your photographs are stunning. I always comment on your vintage goodies, but I absolutely love the macro shot of the pink ornaments. As always, you do beautiful work! Victoria
Ohhhhhh Jane! You know I NEED all of this!! What a GREAT give away!! I am pining for it all!
ReplyDelete(Is that how you spell pine-ing?)
Anyway, I covet it!! There!
Lou Cinda :)
Geez! I told you I would forget to come back and wish you Happy Birthday, Jane! Well, Happy Birthday AGAIN! (A little late!) I hope it was a good one!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of the raw crate boxes on black gusset hangers! Coleen left your name on my blog 100th post celebration...I'll be following your blog, you have a lot of great ideas!
ReplyDeleteJane!
ReplyDeleteI'm still scrolling down and catching up with you...oh my gosh you're giving away everything! I love your art and some lucky gal (or guy) out there is going to be soooooo fortunate to have a piece of it! Wow! This is going to be so fun...I'm so going to be glued to the computer on Thursday to see who wins. I will find their address and kidnap their mailman...I swear!
