BLOGGY GIVEAWAY CARNIVAL!

**CONTEST OVER!**
Comments have been closed and I will announce and contact the winner later this evening. THANKS to all who stopped by and left a comment. It is the most comments I have ever had! WOOT! I hope you enjoyed window shopping in my little store, Nancy's Cottage Treasures, and will visit again. As always, let me know if you are looking for something...I probably have it! Be sure to come see the NEW treasures I am posting tonight! Thanks again and good luck to you all!

Wow, I DO love Shannon's Bloggy Carnivals! I always find some of the neatest new blogs to add to my bloglines! While I am not a prolific blogger, I AM an avid fan of so many of you.

So, I wanted to play again and tried to think of something unique and different that the winner could personalize and choose to their own taste.

With that in mind, I decided to give one lucky winner, to be drawn randomly, a credit of $15.00 to be used on any fixed price item in my ebay store, Nancy's Cottage Treasures, vintage cottage treasures and goodies.

All you have to do is take a peek, tell me what item you like the most in your comment with a valid email address. One comment per person only, please.
I will contact the winner at the close of comments on or around February 2.
Once you win, I will let you look around my store and then contact me with the item(s) you want and I will close that item(s) and send it you. Basically, you get to "shop". Cool, huh?

*This does not apply to live auction items - store items only. Thanks!

*US addresses only. Sorry, but international shipping is just too high unless you want to cover the international shipping. Thanks!

Thanks for visiting and please visit again. I promise to try to offer more than I have been in the past. ;0)

Now go look, post a comment, and be sure to visit all the other generous bloggers!

I am finally back! This is a copy of my ebay newsletter...

WOW! The middle of July already?! The summer is zipping right along. I hope you have had or will have a lovely vacation break. I recently returned from a fantabulous beach vacation (muchly needed!!)and can still smell the salt air, hear the lap of the waves....and feel the sand! Sand has a way of following you home, perhaps to remind you of the lovely time you had. :-)

What can I say? I am simply OVERFLOWING with cottage treasures here! I have been buying like mad and at the same time, have been enjoying summertime. As a result, my home now looks like your favorite flea market and I HAVE GOT to get in gear! So...be expecting oodles and tons of goodies! Please help me find my floor and couch and bed and cabinets again, okay? I am not kidding you....I can barely walk through my own house and I NEED to share it with you all.

I currently have lots of afghans listed. I love crochet but can't do it so I tend to buy every yummy 'ghan I find. Grab yourself one now and be ready for the first crisp days of autumn that will be here before you know it.

I will be listing lots of aprons, linens, hankies, and assorted vintage decor....don't miss out! Most auctions start and end on Sundays but due to my over whelming shopping this summer, I am going to start some weekly postings as well to clear out some space. I am drowning in pretties here!

With that said, I am getting back to work. After all, it is Monday and I have to go shop Thursday through Sunday. That means I have to crank Monday through Wednesday! :~)

Until later, go look, go shop, let me know what you are looking for, and have a truly blessed day!

All the best, Nancy

p.s. I am, without a doubt, the world's worst blogger! I cannot go a day without reading all of my favorite blogs but I rarely make a new post. Why is that? Am I just lazy or don't feel worthy? I want to blog...but I don't.
I am going to try to do better. If ANYONE is reading this, please grunt or wave so I will know I have not been lost in the barren wasteland of slacker bloggers. And yes, this post is a cheater...I merely pasted my recent ebay newsletter...but it IS a start / re-start, no?
