My first post had no photos, and it was a bit of an awkward introduction. I had no readers and no followers ... just me and some friends and family as an audience. I thought this blog was going to be exclusively about roses and gardening, but I am a lot more than that, and I wanted to share it ALL.
In celebration of my anniversary, and as a way to say Thank You for all of you who have come along with me on this journey, I would like to offer a giveaway.
I was at the Habitat ReStore in Richmond yesterday, and they had received a donation of beautiful hand-painted tiles and tile trays. I did some Christmas shopping, and I picked up a tray for one of my lucky readers, too.
The tiles aren't attached in this photo, so don't worry that they look a bit wonky.
The tray comes in Black or White, the tiles are the same on each, and I can't decide which one I like best.
I think it's only fair to let the lucky winner decide which one to take ... I'll keep the one that's left.
Do you prefer the Black one?
Or the White one?
Each reader can have up to three entries.
1. Leave a comment on this post telling me which tray you like best ... the White one or the Black one.
2. Become a Follower of Hartwood Roses, or if you already are a Follower (thank you!), and leave a second comment to let me know.
3. Tweet, Blog, or Facebook the Giveaway for a third chance ... Come back and leave a 3rd separate comment letting me know!
It's that simple! The Giveaway will be open until Saturday, November 27th (the actual anniversary of my first blog post) at 9:00 pm EST.
Please be sure to leave a way for me to contact you! (Have I mentioned lately how thankfull I am when I can send a personal reply for a lovely comment. I am sad when I try to reply and I find 'noreply@blogger.com' for a return email address. Consider making your email visible ... you just might make some very lovely new blog friends.)
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone, and Thank You, THANK YOU for being here!
Sincerely,
Connie
YAY!! Am I the first commenter??? That means I surely won't win. But, I LOVE the black one :) I can't believe you found those at the Habitat Restore!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on two years. Both trays are beautiful, so either one is fine. That is so generous of you. I am not a 'follower' of any blog, don't even know how, but your blog will be my first if I figure it out. I will add your giveaway to my blog. I add blog posts a lot.

Happy Thanksgiving, Connie! I like black one best - it dramatizes the paints! Darlene
ReplyDeleteConnie,
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! I have the perfect spot for the "Black" one!
Connie,
ReplyDeleteI truly enjoy your blog! I have been a follower from day 1!
Congratulations on two years blogging. I think the white tray makes the outlines pop, yet for my kitchen which is blk/stainless steel and red appliances - the black tray would look so nice!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your blog and been following it since it's inception. What's not to love.
ReplyDeleteThe black one works for me.
Charlotte
I like the black one best and congrats on your blog anniversary!
