Valentines Winner!

Thank you so much to all of you who stopped by our Valentines Party over the weekend (literally in the thousands)! I don't know about you but I'm still working my way through all the links. We'll leave the button on the sidebar for a bit so you can continue to browse all the gorgeous vintage and handmade items.

I thought I'd just share a few of the pretties that I noticed out there in blogland while I was going through the links...

Glitter Hearts at Glitter & Roses

Romantic Ribbon adorned frame at Purple Chocolate Home

Love Banner at Saltbox In The Country

And one of my personal favs...

Romantic Fabric Collage at Kelly Deal

There's so many incredibly talented bloggers out there! I'm glad that I didn't have to select a winner based on who is the best. Whew - that would be a tough choice! Thankfully, our winner was selected by the Random Blessing Generator. I entered everyone who linked up as well as everyone who left comments.

And our winner of the Valentine Cone & Kit is

My Blessed Serendipity Life!

Autumn Art Party THIS FRIDAY - join us

One of my favorite times of the year for taking pictures is Autumn.

(photo taken the Garden Antqs Vintage blog party last Fall)

It's not that I love the oranges and reds - because my color palette leans toward the softer side. But there's something about the combination of all the colors together - It's art, falling off the trees and flitting to the ground in rustling, colorful puddles.

What kind of Autumn Art are you creating? Please come over on Friday and share it with us! Just post the photos on your blog and then come here to link up. If you haven't participated in a blog party before, there's a helpful how-to button to the left. Just click that and we'll walk you through it. We'll be sharing pictures ALL WEEKEND of the different kinds of Autumn/Halloween art that our talented community of bloggers creates.

Please join us - We want to see your Autumn Art!

Non-French-Cupboard-Members are always welcome to join in the blog party fun so hurry - don't be late for the pumpkin carriage! (ok, so that was silly - My mind is going at whirlwind speed as Mr. Blessing and I are getting reading to head out to Marburger and the Texas Shows in a few days- You'll have to pardon my lack of literary prose *smiles*) -Polly
