The MB Treasure Hunt Give Back


Thought we could have a quick impromptu Give Back for no special reason other than to thank you for all the comments you have left and for all the blogger love and friendship you have so generously extended to me.


I will be spending all day Wednesday hunting and gathering at the Madison Bouckville antique markets.
What if I brought back something special just for YOU?


This will be a quick Give Back as it is already Sunday.
Tuesday night, one winner will be randomly selected!

At that point, I will email the winner to ask
 what I should be on the lookout for!
You tell me what you love!



Should I hunt for sewing items?
ephemera?
kitchen ware?
toys?
linens?
lace?
tinware?
books?
wooden ware?

I will do my best to find what you long for!



Oh, my goodness...
 I can't pick just one winner.

I will pick THREE winners!
Just because...
...it seems I never have time to reply to comments
 and yet I read each and every one
 and am always so grateful
 that you take time from your busy day to drop me a line.


So...this will be a way to say THANK YOU!


...and will make my treasure hunting 
even more challenging and exciting!


So...if you would like one chance to be one
 of the three winners...
...simply leave a comment at the end of this post.

If you would like a second chance...
 please check that follower box
 or tell me that you are already a follower of 52 FLEA
 (thank you so much)

And...if you would like a third chance...
Please help spread the word through any social media... a link on your side bar, a mention in a post, facebook or twitter.
  Let me know in a separate comment that you have done so!


This Give Back is open to everyone 
wherever you live, anywhere in this beautiful world of ours!

Remember....this is a quick GIVE BACK...
 don't delay... spread the word...
the THREE winners will be picked this Tuesday evening!
That's the 16th!

You have up to 3 chances to be one of 3 winners!

Good Luck friends!

What fun!
:)

I have just become a follower (can't believe I didn't do it before this), and I have linked you on my Facebook page. If I am chosen, I would pick buttons. I'm here in San Diego, and I've yet to find a jar of buttons at any yard, garage, estate, or rummage sale...or even at any of the thrift stores I frequent. Thank you! Del ;o)

  156. What a giveaway and actually asking US what we would want....really...how generous. I never win things and since I don´t... I feel ok in saying that if I were for some strange reason lucky I´d love some of those green flower tags from NY you show on some of the fotos above. They would look great on collage and some of my acrylic flower paintings and besides...they are flat and easy to mail. I wish I could follow you around when you go looking for goodies. You show some incredible finds on your blog....

  157. your blog and its photos are always so inspiring - so yes, count me in....interesting letters and numbers are always at the top of the list...along with old letters, ink pens and wire-rimmed glasses...
    thanks so much
