200th post...and a sweet little giveaway

Aren't I lucky that it's my turn to post on our 200th?? To celebrate, I whipped up a little giveaway sweetness, inspired by my sisters, two of the sweetest, funniest, most generous people you'll ever meet. I've talked about them before, and I could go on and on, but just know if you're lucky enough to be a winner that you're getting a little piece of them too.


Don't you love these fabrics? My Georgia sister got it at Whipstitch Lounge in Atlanta, and now I have just one more reason to hop on a plane for a visit. And last Christmas my Washington sister made me some cute dish towels like these that I've just recently been able to bring myself to actually use rather than admire neatly folded up in the linen drawer.

So, to enter, just leave a comment and, since this week's theme is sugar, tell me what your favorite sweet indulgence is, just for kicks. TWO of you (since it is our TWO hundreth post, after all) will each receive one of these embellished towels and a set of heart-shaped measuring spoons, and maybe a surprise or two that I'll pick up on our road trip next week. You have until noon next Wednesday (July 28th) to enter before winners are chosen.

Good luck! Oh, by the way, my sweet indulgence is anything with lemons and/or limes like this or these, and wash it all down with this zippy concoction. I'm my father's daughter for sure!

  2. Cute towels! And congrates girls on your 200th post. I'm excited for another 200. :)

    I can eat ice cream any time of day and all day long. I love ice cream. My favorite is cookie dough or peanut butter cup of sorts. I'm not a fruity type when it comes to ice cream.

  3. I would have to say homemade ice cream tops my list. I love trying to come up with new flavor combinations. Some are better than others, but I have yet to top strawberries and cream. Yum-O.

  8. Such a cute, gift idea!

    I've not really been a fan of sweets my whole life, more a salty fan, UNTIL this last pregnancy. Everything changed! I've grown a sweet tooth! Grrr!

    My weakness though even before the sweet tooth came? Doughnuts! Warm, freshly-made doughnuts.

    Let's see... I'm gonna have to go with brownies. I could DRINK them.

  10. How fun! I could seriously eat sugar all day, but if I had to choose just one something sweet... I'd say a King size Hershey
    s Symphony bar with almond and nougat. :)

  12. I love this blog, it is all things good and provocative! I love being a homemaker and a mother!
    Having cut the sugar myself, my new love is the wonderful flavor of fruit smoothies with yogurt, enjoying what is in season and fresh!
    Continue blogging, with our sweet love!

    My latest fav is a flashback from my childhood--probably now taht I'm back in my hometown. Chocolate Malted Crunch Ice Cream--Thrify brand sold at Rite Aid (only in CA)

    Such cute towels and I really need the spoons, mine got lost in the move!

  16. Oh my goodness I CAN'T believe I missed this! Lesson learned. I've been seriously dying for heart shaped measuring spoons ever since we saw them in Leavenworth. VERY creative lady. I love your skills and, well, you too. :) Fun times on "Praiseworthy".
