As Promised, A Giveaway!

I've had an Etsy store for quite some time, but I haven't had anything in it.  Now, I'm pleased to say, I finally do!  My husband and I just purchased a new silk screen printing press, and we've put some of our creations in my Etsy store.  In honor or the grand re-opening of "The Cabbage Rose", I'm having a giveaway.

Here's how it works:  the winner of the giveaway will win any one item of their choice from my store.  It is for followers only, so if you're not already a follower, you must become one (and no, you don't have to live in the United States).  To enter, simply leave a comment telling me that you would like to be entered in the giveaway.  You don't need to tell me which item you would like, yet.  The winner will be randomly chosen from all entries received.

If you give a shout out to my giveaway, along with a link, or post my Etsy store button (see it up there in the left hand corner?) on your blog, you'll earn a second entry.  If you do both, I'll give you two more entries.  Be sure to let me know you've done so!  And just to make it a little bit more fun, if I reach 100 followers between now and the end of the giveaway, I'll chose two winners.

The giveaway is open from now until noon Eastern Time on March 20th.  What better way to celebrate the first day of spring than with a giveaway?  The winner or winners will be announced within 24 hours of the end of the giveaway.

We are planning to add more merchandise to the store on a regular basis, so stop in and browse often!

Also already a follower but congrats are in order - well done on your first Etsy foray.

I have just read back the stories about your son and his birthday. So touching and I'm sure he appreciates your efforts. That casserole cooking friend is lovely.
Wow - congrats on your Etsy store! I am a follower and love your blog :)
That's so cool! Felix and I started silkscreening a long time ago but haven't had much time for it lately- I should go dust of the equipment and get to work!

Good luck with the store, how fun :)

Skip Breakfast And Have An Adventure

We're skipping breakfast again.  I know you were expecting Mr. Willoughby to dazzle you with his cooking skills, but he doesn't feel like cooking today.  He wants to go skydiving. Yesterday, a friend sent us a link to an article about a new place to skydive in Michigan.  When I clicked on the link, I was surprised to see a familiar face. We'll get to that in a minute. You may recall that Mr. W started skydiving by taking a tandem jump a few years ago.  With a tandem jump, having a great instructor makes the difference between a fun experience and an amazing experience and Mr. W had Josh Sheppard; one of the best.  Josh is experienced, enthusiastic and passionate about skydiving.  Mr. W had such an amazing experience that he decided to take the AFF course (to learn to jump solo) before they were back on the ground.   So back to that article, the familiar face I saw was Josh.  He and his brother Abe have started a new skydiving business in Owo...

Timeline

I made Spaghetti with Tomato Basil Cream Sauce and Chicken Parmesan for dinner last night. It's not a difficult meal to prepare, but it does require the oven and multiple burners on the cooktop so it heats up the kitchen. After dinner, it was still awfully warm inside, so I left all of the dishes right where there were and my husband and I went outside to sit on the back porch and cool off. We had eaten rather late, so it was already dark outside. Our neighborhood was uncharacteristically quiet and the only sounds were that of the crickets chirping and the faint whoosh of cars passing by on Main Street. It was a perfect summer evening, the sort that you dream about in the middle of February. I asked my husband what he thought we might have been doing at that exact moment one year ago. Had we been sitting in the same place enjoying similarly beautiful weather? Had I made the same meal for dinner? What about five years ago? How about 10, 15, and 20 years ago? I know I've taken a ...

Public Service Announcement

I'm not quite ready to come back yet, but I wanted to take a few minutes to post my version of a Public Service Announcement.  As many of you already know, I've been away from blogging due to illness.  However, what you may not know is that the illness is H1N1.  Yep, the Swine Flu. I can honestly say that I've never felt so terrible in my life.  I had heard that for most people, H1N1 is no worse than the regular seasonal flu.  I guess I'm not most people.  After 15 days, I'm only now beginning to feel slightly human.  I was unable to get vaccinated because our area ran out of vaccine months ago.  I understand that it has recently become available again, but it's too late for me.  It's not too late for you, though.  If the vaccine is available in your area and you haven't gotten it yet, I beg you to drop what you're doing and take your family to get vaccinated. If you ignore my advice and decide to develop your immunity by gettin...
