First Giveaway and Many Thanks

I've been getting many offers for giveaways on my blog.  I will be having quite a few, but I wanted my first giveaway to be something from me to you.  So, I'm giving away this vignette.  Yep, the entire vignette.



I'll tell you how to win in a minute, but first,  I could not go any further into the New Year without giving a special shout out to my top referring  sites.

I'm so grateful to all my readers and followers, but without these ladies, many of you may not have found me.  Next to Google, they have been my largest traffic sources since starting my blog last year.  They all have link parties  I participate in regularly, and so should you.  Each of them have also featured my work, either on their blog, or Facebook page.  I'm very grateful.  Click on the buttons below to visit these generous, and inspirational women.

Marian, at Miss Mustard Seed

Miss Mustard Seed's Creative Blog





Kim, at Savvy Southern Style






Courtney, at French Country Cottage

















Donna, at Funky Junk Interiors













Funky Junk's Saturday Nite Special




Kathleen, at Faded Charm















THANKS LADIES

xoxoRosemary


Okay, I also wanted to say thank you to my followers with a giveaway.  This vignette consists of one of my redesigned sewing machine drawers.  I added the applique, and gave it a weathered finish.  It would be a great corral for so many things.





I have included one of my framed transfer art pieces, an ornate frame, two alabaster birds, and a vintage bottle with chippy metal rose.









If you would like to win this vignette, here's how.

  1. You must be a follower of VILLABARNES.  Let me know if you are already a follower, or if you've just joined me.
  2. Leave a comment on this post, letting me know you would like to win.
  3. For extra entries, share this giveaway on your blog, or Facebook.  Leave a separate comment for each entry.

You have till Friday, JANUARY 13th  at 12:00 midnight, CST
***TO ENTER***

The winner will be chosen at random, and announced Saturday, January 14th.  This is just the first of many giveaways I'll be having this year.


GOOD LUCK
******THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.  THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED.******

    Hi Rosemary,
    I am a new follower, although I have visited several times.
    Your little vignette is darling, I would love to win it. I live in Canada, though, I'm not sure if you're mailing outside of the USA.
    Hugs, Cindy
