100th post Give Back



It is amazing to me that I have reached 100 posts already....having only started 52Flea on February 15th ....this means that within 80 days I posted 100 times.....hmm...I guess I have a lot of stuff to share....



Well, I see that the blogging thing to do is to have a give-away to celebrate your 100th post....so to that end...I have decided to have a "create your own give-away". I am just getting to know you all and since I have artist friends, antique and vintage loving friends, junking friends, decorating and designing friends, jewelry making friends, etc., and since everyone has different interests......



I thought it might be fun for you to specify a category of goodies from which you would like me to select your prize! Goodness me, I have plenty of stuff to choose from.....so if you are interested in receiving a treasure from one of the categories listed below.....all you have to do to enter this give away is to tell me you "want in" and leave your name in the comment section (please make sure you leave me an email address or contact information if you do not keep a blog). I will pick one name out of a hat next Monday night, May 11th......if your name is picked.....just let me know which category of prize you would like me to pluck your treasure from! Does that sound too complicated?



Here are the categories: Nostalgia, Wireware, Tinware, Enamelware, Ephemera, Kitchenware, Vintage Sewing, Vintage Millinery, China, ......oh for goodness sake....tell me what you like and I will try to find something amongst my treasures that tickles your fancy!



This blogging experience has been so much fun and an outlet for my creative interests....I think of this as really more of a "give-back" than a "give-away". I thank you all for being so friendly...so willing to share and for being so kind to me....



If this sounds intriguing to you and you would like two chances to win.......mention this little give-away (or give-back) on your blog and then let me know....I will add your name twice to the hat!



Thank you everyone for all your support and encouragement!
I'm having so much fun!

    Wow it's great that you've reached that 100th mark. I'm so happy I encouranged you to try it...thinking if I could do it anyone could. I'm so glad everyone has gotten to see how wonderful you are. It comes thru in this blog and in your writings. It's like all those years of collecting and loving all things old and sometimes discarded have brought you here. I wish you all the best for the next 100 posts....and beyond!!!
    Congratulations

    Congratulations on your 100th post! I guess when you have so many fabulous things to post about, it is easy to get to 100... :)

    Of all of the blogs to do a give-away, yours would be one of my favorites! I loved your post about when you were cleaning out your things - you had so many amazing items in your photos!!! If I were so fortunate to be the winner, I would say my favorite things would be wire, metal, or linen of any sort. You have such wonderful taste~

    Congrats on your 100th post ... time flies, doesn't it?

    I like your style - a "give back" rather than a "give away" ... quite clever. Also, it's really fun to choose what I'd like to win and even more fun not knowing what I'll win - just leaving it in your hands. Now, I'd love to be chosen to win something from the Vintage Millinery category - or something bird/birdnest related.

    Thank you ... see you tomorrow!

    What a gorgeous blog! I found out about you from Linda; I too am relatively new to blogging and have a ways to go before I reach 100 posts. Your blog is so full of inspiration - I'll be checking back often. Thanks for sharing your wonderful world with us! Please add my name to your giveaway hat... Vintage Millinery is my favorite!

    So many pretty things, you have captured a style that I adore. How did you post 100 times in such a short period of time? Amazing!
    I love all things old and chippy, rusted, dented, and well past their prime.

    I am a regular visitor of your blog....and I love it. I am not sure how I found you....it was through someone elses blog but I don't remember who. I love your style. I would much rather buy something old with a story than to buy brand new. We live in a log home on 8 acres and we are just getting started. We love it here. Thank for sharing your life with us. As for the surprise....something for the kitchen or the garden would be my choice. Who knows maybe you will get something a "sursey" back. Thats what we call a surprise in the south!!Thanks Tink mwtink@aol.com

    Congratulations! Thanks to The feathered nest I just discovered your blog and your giveaway. I want to take part of it. I like vintage things, such as silky ribbons, wirework, mother of pearl, lace, funny metal pieces. Please, just send me something not too heavy, as I live in Sweden. May 11th is my birthday, so I'm hoping for a birthday present.
    Your blog looks great with wonderful photos.

    Hi Laura,

    I came for a visit at the suggestion of Tamerie of "A Little of This and That. I hope you don't mind I have added your blog to my side bar.
    I love all your 'eye candy'!
    Congrats on reaching your 100 posts! I also have a blog, but I tend to lag on posting. I really wish there was more time in each day! I invite to visit my blog and etsy shop at your convenience.
    If I am so fortunate to win you give away may I request any 'Bling' you might have? Of course, anything would be wonderful!
    Thank you for the opportunity to enter.
