Cottage Charm Giveaway

Kim, at Twice Remembered Cottage, One Woman’s Cottage Life, is hosting the 3rd Annual Cottage Charm Giveaway. Those who are participating in this event will each be holding their own blog’s drawing on May 30th to give away their prize.

I am giving away a $50 gift certificate to French Garden House. I have given gift certificates to Lidy’s boutique in the past. And she is wonderful to work with. Not only that, but Lidy is very charitable and gives a certain percentage of her sale proceeds to help needy children. That gives Lidy high marks in my book!

If you haven’t visited French Garden House, I encourage you to do so. She has fabulous things there. She also has a blog you might want to visit also.

To enter my giveaway, just leave a comment on this post. I will announce the winner along with all the other participants on May 30th.

Visit Kim’s blog to get all the details for this event. And thanks, Kim, for bringing all this about!

Update: Lidy at French Garden House is matching my gift certificate amount. Now the winner will receive $100 to spend at her boutique!

  6. How nice! French Garden House is a lovely site & the fact she gives a portion to charity makes it even more sweeter.

  7. I’d love to be entered! I am moving to a cottage next month and would enjoy shopping at French Garden House!

  9. Brenda, what a generous giveaway!! I have to tell you that I LOVE your banner!! That vintage tablecloth draped on the round table is to die for! And I loved your post about the pet friendly furniture. It’s funny, I just wrote about how my black kitty would jump to the tops of hutches with china, etc., and never broke a piece because he was so graceful! And if you ever get tired of that little white magazine rack, I promise to give it a good home! ha ha!!! Have a great week!… Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage
