The Winner is . . .

. . . Ange!

Scout and Dill were both asleep, and Todd was teaching, so I had no helper for the drawing.  Instead, I used Random Number Generator.  What a joy to discover that the beautiful and gifted Ange had won my giveaway!  She is a calligrapher, mum, and thinker extraordinaire.  Here's just a taste of one of her works below.  Hope you'll pop by her beautiful blog, Signed by Ange, for a visit.

Find more of her beauty here.

I have been having a ball collecting treasures for the giveaway.  Some of the treasures are from Nesting on Main in Concord, MA; at least one is from a recent walk; another is from Black Ink in Cambridge, MA.  The box itself is a cigar box I bought at a flea market and that I've customized just for this giveaway.  Wish I could send off boxes to everyone who entered.  Your words and wishes mean the world to me.    

Ange, drop me an email with your mailing address--oh, and let me know which photo you'd prefer.  I'll print it, tuck it into the giveaway box, and send it all your way.

Be on the lookout for my next post: B is for . . .

  2. Oh Gigi! I havent won a giveaway before and I'm too thrilled that I won YOURS!! Wow! Wow! Wow! Thanks for the beautiful words about me too. I'm blushing (blondes with freckles are prone to doing that ;-) but you'll have to take my word for it. Much love...
    And it was lovely of Angie Muresan to visit. I still have to figure out how to be a follower on blogs that aren't from blogger...

  10. I'm so glad people are stopping over at Ange's place! Her work is stunning.

    Oh, Lily, why am I not surprised that you love Black Ink, too? And some of my favorite cigar boxes are the ones I've found at Leavitt & Pierce! They even have a special $1 bin near the back of the store now. Plus, they have a pretty little jewelry store in the back now, too. That place is incredibly dangerous for me!

  11. Oh Gigi,
    I'm so pleased that Ange won...she is lovely and so taleneted too. I can tell her, from experience, that her giveaway will be something so personal and special....I was a little disappointed, Gigi, that neither Scout or Dill were awake to do the draw. I like your photos of them, sticking their paws in the bowl !!
    Thanks for the wonderful, generous giveaway, Gigi. XXXX

  17. I have to tell you, I am a little bit jealous of that sweet and talented Ange. Not only for her amazing artistic gift, but for the gift you are giving her as well. Of course, more than that, I am happy for her. And happy to have you as a friend. And so very blessed by all the gifts you shower me with here.
