200th Post Giveaway!

Hi my lovelies! I hope you had a great weekend...mine was stupendous! We were very adventurous, driving a couple of hours away from home in search of Dole Whip (to no avail. Very sad.), hit the Bucyrus Bratwurst Festival and I made the most glorious Boeuf Bourguignon! It wasn't scary or difficult at all. Just a bit time-consuming, but I did it! It's tonight's dinner, so I'll report more on that later.

Now, onto the fun stuff!

Last Thursday, I hit my 200th post. Because you guys truly keep me going, I wanted to have a little giveaway in celebration of this momentous occasion!

I've been very inspired lately by Julia Child and her great vintage kitchen. So whether you're a vintage lover and collector or just starting out, here's a few bits of fun to get you going:

· 1 vintage, handmade apron - black & white check w/ red thread accents, front pocket. Cut-out detailing around hem and on pocket.
Wrap & tie around waist with long ties fits most sizes.
*Sorry, dress and pearls not included!

· 1 vintage hobnail milk glass vase
· 4 vintage Better Homes and Gardens cook books chock full o' the classics:
- Pies and Cakes
- Make-Ahead Cook Book
- Jiffy Cooking
- Blender Cook Book

· 1 Anne Taintor Modern Office notepad
· 6 card stock tags - great for gifts, name tags or seating cards!
