she picked mine...

Now I am sure you all knew that the fabulous Fifi O'Neill was having a giveaway on her blog.  She was giving away 3 signed copies of her amazing book Romantic Prairie Style.  It wasn't just a regular giveaway where you enter and your name is randomly picked.  You had to send her a photo of how you displayed her book in your home.  I never thought I had a chance with all the talented ladies out there that take wonderful photos.  But guess what ~ she picked mine...
Can you believe it?!!  I am so excited!

Here are some other photos I took...


Fifi has hit the road and as she puts it "gone shooting" for her next book.  Another book full of beauty and inspiration from Fifi...sigh!!!
The crock was my Moms...one of my favorite treasures from her!

Congratulations to Tracie from My Petite Maison and Erin of The Painted Garden for being picked as well!

What a great week this is turning out to be!!
Thank you for visiting today!

    Yea for you Sandi! How wonderful! But you already have the book so you don't need a signed copy. Tell Fifi to send in on over to Kuwait. Ha! Enjoy! And believe me, you are well-deserving of receiving this gift. Best wishes and blessings, Tammy
