Hello Shane, what a lovely give away. I like when bloggers do nice things like this. I've given away ACEO's (art cards) from time to time. I always enjoy visiting your blog although I must admit I don't always leave a comment when you already have lots of them on that particular post. So I am always peeking in. ;) Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely giveaway Shane! Hope all is well and that you have a great new week. Tammy
ReplyDeleteThe French market bag is sweet Shane and I'd love to be entered in your draw.
ReplyDeleteI have been using cloth bags for groceries for several years and especially like the pretty ones with graphics.
After freezing temperatures and lots of snow, the roller coaster weather has taken us to mild weather again for a few days.
Shane I would love to win that cute farmers market tote and what ever goodies you put inside. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteDa oggi ci sono anch'io! Saluti e complimenti dall'Italia.

I enjoy visiting your lovely blog. So sweet of you to host a giveaway. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteA fun giveaway Shane! Seeing that rooster certainly brightened my day, after having endured a huge snowfall and now lots of rain. Dull and yucky outside, but fun things to see on your blog.
ReplyDeleteDearest Shane,
ReplyDeleteYou almost create spring in autumn for the northern hemisphere by showing such lovely things!
Someone will be very happy with winning this!
Sending you hugs and love,
Mariette

ReplyDelete♥Hello my dear friend! Love this post...and bag!! Have a happy day! xxx Riitta♥
ReplyDeleteDear Shane, I want to reply to your comment on my blog. The snow is not real! It is made of polystyrene, a kind of plastic. We can buy this in every garden centre in Holland. The same question came from Spain. Apparently this snow is not global!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the sunshine and forget the snow, Hetty.
It is a lovely giveaway, i am happy to join it. And i am so glad that you vist me.

As a collector of chickens, both egg layers, and decorative, I like the rooter tote. To put the chicken feed bags to good use once they are empty, I have a friend stitch them up into shopping bags, but yours is far more elegant.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting recently, Shane. The photo challenge really is the highlight of my blogging month.
ReplyDeleteYour market bag is lovely.
Hi Shane,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous giveaway and yes, I'm already a follower of yours.
Thank you for your visit to my blog. My late beloved hubby and I were married in 1970, also. It was a very good year! Hugs across the miles to you.
What a very lovely give-away. Though I follow you and you are on my favorites list, I guess I had better "join this sight" to become official. I do love following the beauty you share here.

Oh Shane... I feel bad... I visit you frequently, share your dreams of France but since I use my tablett to enter the internet most of times, I feel it difficult to write a comment. My clumsy little fingers just do not go hand in hand with the the little lettering...
ReplyDeleteSo much for my apologies... But I won't moan now... No reason for it! It is nice to see you, even nicer to find out that you are so generous to host a give away. I find it so sweet that even in this occasion you have France in your mind... I'll send you a french kiss on both cheeks to comfort your longing a bit, heehee... Have a nice day, dear Shane, and see you soon!
Hugs from Manu
I always enjoy reading your blog, Shane, as there are so many pretty things that you share each time you post. Sending my best wishes. xx
ReplyDeleteWow Shane, there will definitely be a smile on some lucky gal's face when she hears she's won such a great gift! A charming, colorful market bag, and wonderful contents - you have such impeccable taste when it comes to choosing French-inspired pretties. I wish I was in France right now - my brother says they still have lovely mild weather in the southwest, and Paris is magnificent no matter what the weather!
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, here's hoping Spring is turning balmy and drier there for you in Auckland my dear. As Thanksgiving arrives here the leaves are falling fast and furious - now smothering us after heavy rain last night.
We head to the coast Friday and should have dry, cool weather which is fine with me!
Hugs - Mary x
Who wouldn't want to win that wonderful bag! And oh, how your photos remind me so of wonderful France. A smile is on my face right now!
ReplyDeleteWith your charmng market sac, one lucky Lady will be shopping in style:)Wonderful giveaway, dear Shane. Will post on my sidebar.
