As Luck Would Have It….

As luck would have it, everyone else is better.  And I am now sick.  I woke up yesterday morning to a sore throat and ended the day in bed snuggled with my two favorite munchkins watching Muppets from Space. Sawyer rubbed my back and played with my hair as I had done for him all week, so even though I was not feeling great, the tenderness was not lost on me.  So while this sickness is of course unfortunate, I actually do have some tales of real luck to share with you!

I have one some giveaways lately….

First of all, I won an awesome handmade pillow cover from Katie at Craptastic.  She wrote the sweetest note and added a little goodie for me!
Here is the pillow cover on a pillow in the guest room, and please pardon the yellow hue to these two photos.  I had my WB on the wrong setting, and well now I am feeling like crap so I won’t be taking another picture at the moment.

 And my extra goodie- how cute is this little ornament?

I also won a giveaway from Sarah at Modern Country Style for a few sample pots of Farrow & Ball paint- I was so excited to win and am looking forward to trying these colors out!

And I won a giveaway from for a from Kathleen at Between Blue and Yellow for a poster from U-Printing!  I need to go through my photos and choose one!  I have a feeling it might feature my two favorite little people.

And finally, I am lucky because I am surrounded by people I love… My mother in law was a humongous help to me this past week, so thank you, Pam!  And my husband understood my need to get out and have a girl’s day yesterday after this week, so I hopped in my car, kid-free, and met my friend Emily at the awesome Elizabeth & Company Vintage Tag Sale in Westminster, MD.  I was not going to let my sore throat squash those plans!  I had a fabulous time visiting with Sharon and her daughter, Megan, and hanging out with Emily, and I came home with some goodies, such as…
This cute little red and white pillow for a whopping $2!

adorable magnetic letters…. This is what I spelled as a pre-Christmas reminder to my kids.  The kids had so much fun with them making new words though that I am going to be getting more!

An awesome vintage framed map for $9!

I purchased a few other goodies, but they are hiding until Christmas.  And sweet Sharon remembered these glasses the last time I visited her.  I had loved them, and regretted not buying them.  I looked around today and didn’t see them and figured I had missed my chance.  But Sharon had a bag for me with a sweet note, and these were my housewarming gift from her.  Aren’t they awesome!

Please visit all of these ladies wonderful blogs!  They are all super nice and talented, and I know you will enjoy them!
Happy Sunday….. I am going to try to get some work done, and am also working in a new little potential hobby I decided to try. 🙂  That is of course if I feel OK…. I may end up in bed most of the day, and that is OK, too.  Sometimes you just gotta listen to your body.

    Oh no!!! Boo on being sick. You are a tough one, but you can only take so much, so I am glad you are listening to your body and getting some rest (amongst projects, of course). Your finds at the sale are SO awesome. I definitely would have bought those glasses – what a nice friend to gift them to you! You deserve all of the lucky giveaways that you have won lately — definitely! Stay warm, friend! 🙂 Happy Sunday!
