My 2 Year Blogiversary Giveaway!



Wow! I can't believe that it's already been 2 years since I wrote my first post and hit the publish button!

I appreciate you, my dear readers and followers so much!!
So to celebrate, I'm having a fun giveaway!  :)
(Open only to U.S. residents-sorry!)

I've mentioned my friend Carol in many of my posts, because I have so many of her creations around my home!  She is uber talented in many ways...she sews, makes jewelry, and creates lots of fabulous things!

Here are just a few of her creations that I proudly own:



                                                                       {Valence}


                                                             
                                                                         {Basket}
                                                                   
       
                      

                                                                     {Lampshade}


And the pillowcase shams in the first photo!

I recently showed you here my little barn wood sign that she made me, and many of you commented on how much you liked it!  (In French it says 'You are the love of my life')




Soo, Carol got busy making some more signs, and she's generously offering one to my winner!
(The blank one is just waiting to be custom-made for you! :)




I'm also including an adorable necklace that Carol made by stamping a pretty bird/birdcage onto a charm...




...AND you'll also get a fabulous candle from the line that my mom and I carry in our shop!




I'm making it really simple to enter. All you have to do is:

1. Be a follower of 'must love junk' through GFC (Google Friend Connect on my sidebar)
2. Leave a comment on this post stating what saying you'd choose on your sign if you won!
(From the selection in the above photo of the signs)

That's it!  I'll have my hubby do an old fashioned drawing at the end of May.

I'm also offering a 10% discount off items in my Etsy shop 'MustLoveJunk'!  Just use coupon code 'BLOG2' at checkout!  We have some really fun finds listed right now, so take advantage!




Carol has recently opened an Etsy shop, too, 'Vintage Shack' so we'd love it if you'd visit her and 'favorite' her shop, too!
She's got lots of great items including valences and pillows, and she's generously offering a 10% discount to my readers, too!  Just use the coupon code 'MUSTLOVEJUNK' in the checkout.

Thanks so much for celebrating 2 years of blogging with me!  Happy shopping and good luck! :)

  12. Congratulations Susan on your 2nd anniversary. Your giveaway is very generous and how I would love to own a "Life is Beautiful" sign - La Vita ė Bella. The perfect message for me to always remember the precious moments I've experienced during dealing with difficult times. Funny, hubby too will choose because I had John run the names and followers on the random computer pick tonight for the book.
    I love your candles and would be tickled pink and periwinkle to win one ;-)

  45. Congrats to you Susan on your 2 years out now! I can't believe it's almost been 5 years for me!
    And still loving every minute of it.
    As for carols work I can so see why you are I rove with it, as for the signs I too make them but always prefer someone else's work over mine, it always adds interest to a home to fill it with other artists works then thy selves adding balance and creativity to ones cottage.
    I love the chippy aligratoring to the salvaged look of the woods paint, and already have a place planned out for its placement if I were to be your winner!
    Love that saying you are the love of my life! I also love the saying... "Love at first sight" in French...
    " le coup d foudre" so I would want one to say love at first sight, not only because of a love life with someone special but because in our salvaged French brocante lives so many pieces are love at first sight when we design around them and bring these pieces home with us.
    That piece of salvaged wood is a love at first sight piece of rustic with French charm.

    Yes, my dear count me in on your beautiful GiveAway!
    I am a follower, and inspired often when I visit, I also am always joyed with your visits to my place.

    Happy Blogaversary to you and many years to follow.
    Thank you Carol for adding Grace and Beauty to the art you create.

    Xoxo

  50. Hi Susan!

    Congrats on your blogiversary! We're all so happy that you clicked that button for the first time.You've shared so many beautiful and cool things with us! I would love to be entered in your giveaway. What a great sign to put in that special spot on the wall. I kind of have a weakness for the Cafe de Paris sign. I can just imagine how cool it would look in my kitchen!! I'm a follower and fan of you blog and will always be!!

    Blessings, Edie Marie

  52. Well, first of all, congratulations! The first two years of blogging are especially beautiful, I think. You find your voice, you build a following and friendships. After that you are on your way. I'm so very glad I discovered you!

    Carol is indeed a wonderful and talented friend. Should I win your drawing, I would choose the Cafe de Paris sign -- for the kitchen or dining area, of course!

    Keep blogging!

  57. Congrats on your anniversary! Are you playing games with me? I could of sworn I signed up for this and now it's gone. Maybe this is a clue you didn't want me to win cause I teased you so about your floral frogs. I would like to have fresh eggs, and lucky for you your far enough that I would be able to throw them at ya!
