Ahhh...Spring In Minnesota...and Giveaway Goodies...


Well... this IS Minnesota after all...  We had several inches of snow fall here last night!  It IS pretty...but hopefully will be the last hurrah until NEXT winter!



The sun is shining now and it will be near 50 degrees today, so this will all melt quickly and green up the grass!


I wanted to share some fun giveaway wins with you, too!  I won a gorgeous necklace from sweet Debra of  Common Ground !  Her inspirational blog is always full of beauty!   I won a giveaway from her wonderful link party...


I was able to choose something from her lovely etsy shop !  You'll have to stop by and visit- it's full of the most beautiful pieces!  My piece has a chunky copper chain, a antique shoe buckle, and a blinged out key...


I love the beautiful colors and different metals...


and of course...a little bling is ALWAYS good...


She also sent me some fun goodies!


Vintage sheet music, French vocabulary cards, some fun recipe cards, an old key, and a sweet vintage crocheted piece...  Thank you SO much, Debra!  I just love everything! 


Also this week, I received this sweet package from my friend Suzanne of  Privet and Holly !  A few posts back, I had a photo of the two of us enjoying meeting and spending the day together!  Isn't this wrapped sweetly?


She took a photography class a while back and had a giveaway of notecards she had made of some of her photos!  I was one of the lucky winners!  This is just the touch of spring I need today, Suzanne!


I just love the tulips...



Thank you so much, my friend!

Until next time... Hope you are having beautiful spring weather...and send some it my way!
Linda

  11. Linda, I talked to my Mom in Minnesota this morning and could not believe it..Went out for a walk this after noon in Orlando and it was so hot I barely made it home. How can this be?? When I lived there probably 30 years ago I remember one year we had snow the last day of April, so there was snow on the ground May 1st...hoping this is the last hurrah!

  19. Wow, snow in April?! I know that it is in the forecast for Michigan, too! We passed thru lots of snow covered mountains on the way out to WA, but luckily now that we are here it is mild and sunny, with green grass and flowers in bloom! Lucky you on the wins! I adore the key necklace, and the cards are beautiful!
