French General Giveaway

I'm keeping my promise from last week to offer you a giveaway today.  If you haven't been to Elderberry Street before, here's what you'll find here.  Or not.  

There are plenty of antiquing and thrift store trips.

You'll see my ever changing decorating attempts.

 I've recently taken up hiking for exercise.

 I play around with Instagram, Photoshop and my new OlloClip lens.

Sometimes I walk on the beach.

I do cook occasionally.

And there's always something being created, with embroidery or knitting.

Speaking of which. . . you thought I forgot, didn't you? Made you look at all these pictures first.  It's kind of like having to walk through the ENTIRE grocery store just to get to the milk. Well, I'm giving away a wonderful book personally signed by Kaari Meng of French General, called "Home Sewn, 30 Projects for Every Room In The House". It's crammed full of good ideas, patterns and instructions. You'll love it.

All I ask is that you leave a comment.  I'm not asking that you follow me, although that would be nice.  I'm not trying to wring every last new follower out of this.  You won't find advertising on my blog.  I'm not selling anything.  I do hope that you'll come back for a visit and leave messages for me.  It's all about making new friends that have similar interests.  At least that's why I blog.  How about it? You can also find me at  or  This giveaway is open until February 1st.
