Wow it has been a year since I started my blog!! Time really flies. I still feel like I just started this yesterday. I want to thank all you wonderful and inspirational bloggers that have helped me and have given such beautiful inspiration. I have meet some truly remarkable bloggers in this last year.
To celebrate my one year I teamed up with Sara at Magnolia Farms and asked her to create something special for me that I could give away to celebrate my one year anniversary. Well my friends Sara came up with something so adorable and functional. I can't wait to use mine at Farmer's Markets this summer. Thank you very much Sara for your sweetness and your talent.
 |
| I love to garden and do the flea markets and french/farmer's market trips so this was a perfect pattern she came up with for a farmer's market bag. |
 |
| It is a washable canvas and of course had Sara's signature ruffles. It is a good size to fit all your farmer's market fruits and veggies. The length of the straps are pefect fit so your farmers market treats do not stick up under your arm. It is roomy and soft and so cute. Love it!! |
 |
| Thank you Sara for creating such a beautiful tote. I will treasure mine and I know one of my lucky blog followers will love winning this. I love all Sara's beautiful creations so if you want to see more please jump over to her Etsy site or blog. You will not be disappointed in her talented creations. http://sweetmagnoliasfarm.blogspot.com/ https://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetMagnoliasFarm |

| Midge wanted to get in on the giveaway too. She felt she needed to point out the beautiful tote for the give away!!! |
 |
| You give a sock monkey an inch and they will try to get into all the pictures!!!!! |
 |
| I was trying to get a close up of the wording on the bag so you could see how sweet it is. It says Farmers Market Fresh Produce, Flowers Herbs, Local Honey Saturday 7 to 2 |
  |
| If you would love to win this beautiful Farmer's Market Tote just leave a comment below. That's it!!!!!! just leave me a comment and an email so I can contact you if you win. I also hit 300 followers this week so I am excited so many of you talented bloggers are followers. I appreciate all the great inspiration and your kind comments on my blog so I would love everyone try to get in on this give away to help celebrate my one year anniversary in blog land!! Kris :) |

Hi
ReplyDeleteI love your pillows and signs that have "cottage in them. I think you had posted you bought them on etsy? if so would you mind sharing that dealers name. thanks a bunch. you have an awesome eye for decorating cottage style.
wenell
I found got the pillow from Cindy at www.cutepinkstuff.com. She also is on Etsy and the cottage signs I got from Cottage and Castle on Etsy. I have had a lot of those signs for a long time but I know if you put in the search on Etsy cottage sign these talented people that make them will come up. Good luck. Cindy with the cottage saying pillows is so sweet you will love dealing with her and she will make them any way you want. Just do not put them in the washer with any whitener or bleach products I found out the hard way that this makes them fade. Good luck.
