Sunflowers

To celebrate the last day of August, I want to share my sunflower that just bloomed a couple days ago! I grew this sunflower plant from a seed, I'm so proud :)

It also reminds me of my very favorite Van Gogh painting


I'm also excited that tomorrow is September, I have been so looking forward to Fall!

Goodbye Summer!

Winner!

I didn't forget about my blog or my giveaway, I swear! I feel like I have just been on a bit of a mental summer break, and I have noticed that about a lot of blogs that I read, posts have slowed down in the summer. This giveaway was my way to celebrate that fall is about to start! I chose a winner by writing down all the names of my entrants, with more than one if you entered more than once :) and I put them all in a bowl and chose one at random, and the winner is...

Congratulations Rilana! I sent you an e-mail!
I'm excited to send my giveaway prizes to Rilana, because I have been a reader of her blog for a while now!

This giveaway was so fun! I can't wait to do another one! Thanks to everyone who entered, my first giveaway was a success!

Tea Table

Wow, has it really been over a week since my last post? I have been wanting to keep my Pink Giveaway as the first post to give everyone a chance to see it, and by the way, I'm so excited that I'm getting entries! I must confess I was worried I wouldn't get any :)
I want to show you guys the pretty little tea table I got from an antique store! I saw it in a booth that was made for me, light oceany blue paint and everything else was black and white, just like my room! I saw the little table, but it was a bit expensive, it was still there the next time I came back, and I got it, and I'm so glad! It matches perfectly with my room, and I'll keep it forever. Here are pictures!


What else have I been doing?
I've been mostly working on another design and reading.


That's it for today! Make sure you get your entries in for my Pink Giveaway!
