~ GIVE-AWAY ~ !!!

This is my very first GIVE-AWAY, I had so much fun putting it all together!!. I've only been blogging for about 6 months now, so its time to celebrate all of you who have been so wonderful to me and patient while I found my way through what seemed like a maze in the beginning.

The RULES for this give-away are pretty simple. Scroll down and pick ( here's the trick, lol ) ONE that is your favorite Vignette. There are 4 to choose from. Just leave me a comment telling me which one is your favorite and why. Then on November 9th I'll put all the comments in a hat and pick out the winner. The winning ticket will receive the Vignette that they chose as their favorite !! I hope you have fun deciding which one you want!! :) Ive numbered them and shown a few pics that will help you see it all from different angles. You can click the pictures to get an up close view too! each Vignette also states exactly what is included in the Give-Away ( I have to keep my props, lol )....And as always , Thank you so so much for all your sweet comments, they mean so much to me!!!!

I love the rooster one. It's perfect for my home. The colors, the images.....beautiful. Plus if I won, I would think of you everytime I used the bowl, the tablecloth or had a cup of hot chocolate.

Deb said...

Hi Cynthia
This is my first visit to your blog - I found you through Jane @posy. I would love to be entered in your wonderful giveaway. Vignette #4 would be my favourite. I love roosters and French Country.

OOOhhh...I just love the 4th Vignette, because it looks like it would fit in my "rooster" kitchen. I also love to bake, and love the green country wisk. Congrats on your first 6 months! Here's to 6 more!

Dawn Marie said...

#4 for me! I LOVE hot chocolate so that got me--plus I love whisks! They are all beautiful!

Joanne said...

You are definitely one of my all time favorite blogs. How very sweet and generous of you to have a giveaway. Well, when I saw the rooster on that bowl, I knew that vignette # 4 was my choice. Just what my kitchen needs -- another rooster. I haven't been to Huntington in such a long time. Two of my aunts lived there (one on Bronze Court and the other on Tanyard Lane) and I have some terrific memories of spending my growing up years there. Thanks so much -- Joanne ~~ glamourgirljoanne@yahoo.com

Oh my yes it was very hard to pick. I would have to go with number 3 though as those apples are just so cute and that plate would look so pretty in my kitchen.

Thank you for hosting this as it was fun looking and trying to pick.

WOW! Cyn, they are all beautiful vingnetts. I would pick #4 (for mom), my mom just had her kitchen remodeled (the kitchen is a few years older than me!!!) It came out so beautiful she finally got her dream kitchen no more 70's ugly cabinets and yucky yellowish wallpaper & cracked counter tops & uneven flooring (she got her hardwood floors). She has it decorated with Roosters and w/ yellows and reds & greens (she loves french country). And #4 is EXACTLY her style. I wish I had before pics of her kitchen (cuz trust me it was very ugly b4, LOL!) But next time I am at my mom's I will take pics of her lovely kitchen and post them online =D

Hi Cynthia!

As if I didn't get enough shopping in today! I still haven't dropped yet...so I need to complete that sentence and choose a vignette here and then I will drop! I would LOVE #3 if I win.

Congratulations on 6 months of blogging! I will have to think of my first giveaway. How exciting!! I am moving now so once I get settled in and get my place all cozy I will start thinking of one. They look so fun!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Michelle :)

Just found your blog via Romantic home...I love it!
All the vignettes are so pretty but I would have to vote for #4 because it would go well in my kitchen and Judy from SD designed the plate. ( I know of her from a message board)
I'm happy to see a LI girl decorating in the cottage style!
I'll be stopping by often...

Sweet Cottage Dreams said...

Good morning Cynthia! OH MY GOODNESS!! You have really made this a difficult task as I LOVE everything! My husband was giving me advice on what to pick. He loves #1 and I love #3......but I will pick #3 as I adore red transferware and white milk glass.

Thank you so very much for having a wonderful blog!!

Happy day to you,
Becky

Sue said...

Cynthia,
What a great way to feature your give-away. Your prizes are fabulous too.
Let's see. I'll vote for # 4 Nothing goes with my house but I love it all and if I win it will finish off a certain person on my gift list (that would be my daughter Dana, but don't tell her I was here *wink, wink*). I love the Tuscan sign by Jane Keltner. Dana and I met her in Atlanta at the gift show just after she sold her company and she is such a sweetheart. We carried some of her things in our store. Since I'm married to an Italian the sign would be a perfect rememberance gift for Dana and would really look cute in her house. The rooster pieces would also fit in great.
I would keep the hot chocolate for me ;)
Hugs,
Sue

Wow! This is my first time visiting your blog and what fun I had. Tough decision, but I finally decided on #1. Love that soap stand and the soap..well, everything in number 1 is great. Such a fun blog and it looks like we have many of the same interest. I just started a new blog of my own and struggling with learning it all!

Janet said...

Hi Cynthia,
My sister told me about your blog (I'm pretty new to blogging too) and I absolutely love your style! I wish you would write a book about it - then I could learn how to put so many different patterns and designs together so they actually look nice! Thank you for having this wonderful giveaway. I had a hard time choosing because I really love everything! I'll pick #1 because I love the calm reaction I got when I looked at the picture:) I also make soap so I think it would be a wonderful pairing! Thanks again!

Tiffany said...

#4 for me. Love those rich colors!

Anonymous said...

Cynthia - it's clear you have an eye for design - all of those vignette's you put together are amazing!!! Vignette #1 with the etched jar, the hand/body cream, soap dish and friendship tags is the one calling to me the most...It's just beautiful, and whoever wins any of these vignettes is going to be one lucky ducky!...Donna

Miss Janice said...

Cynthia,
I love your blog and enjoy visiting here. I am a new blogger also and have placed you on my blogroll. I am loving Vignette #4--I like all the colors and design of the elements. Plus, I neeeeed that hot chocolate! This is so much fun, thank you.

Anonymous said...

I ♥ the first vignette. I love how "Mariage des Fleurs" means the marriage of flowers. How these words make this hand cream sound so femininely soft.The stand is gorgeous as well as the etching on the jar :)

Anonymous said...

Hello Cynthia,

I just came via Kim @ Daisy Cottage, she is one of my faves :) This is my 1st time visiting, so it is nice to meet you.

Sweetie what a wonderful giveaway!! You have (of cause) put so many beautiful things together!! Of cause I love love love it ALL. All the red and country chickens would be so perfect in my home....But my vote is for Vignette #2 cause a white pumpkin is on the top of my wish list and impossible to get here in Denmark. ~Hugs, Jannet

Leigh of Tales from Bloggeritaville said...

It was hard to decide between #2 and #4. But I am going to choose #2. I love #2. It just feels like the season to me....the one of fall. I love the pumpkin bowl, just gorgeous. It really catches my eye with it's simplicity. It's a beautiful "heirloom" type piece. I just adore that grouping. What a great giveaway! Congratulations to you!

Kelly said...

I found you blog through another blog....

Love your blog! :)

I would have to go with #4. It has the feel of a bit of old world to it in which I am kinda trying to create in my kitchen!

"Maggie & Kevin" said...

Cynthia,

What a lovely blog you have, I just found it and am enjoying all your posts. The vingettes are all lovely but I choose #4 because I love all the elements and think the tuscany screen could just be the right piece of art to hang in my new kitchen! What do you think?

Bar-b said...

First off Cynthia...thanks so much for coming to my blog today and giving me such a sweet comment. My head is still spinning from being FB.

You really expected us to pick 1 of these beautiful beautiful set of gifts. I like them all for different reasons.

I guess I have to choose the one with the cookbook b/c I am trying to become more homey and do more cooking for my family. I have recently found that it makes me feel good when they are fed well and when I cook with love. I think I can see a big soup or stew in that beautiful dish!

Great page and beautiful items. Continued success.

Paula said...

They're all lovely, but I would have to pick number 2. I am trying to learn to cook better, and a recipe book with berries is perfect. I also LOVE the harvest tureen. Thanks for having such a great giveaway!

karlascottage.typepad.com said...

That is a hard choice! I think I 'd have to go for #1, all are pretty, but that is my fave.

Aren't giveaways fun? I do enjoy them, and always have one going too.

What a beautiful blog! Congrats on 6 months of blogging and thanks for adding Hooked on Houses to your blogroll.

This is a fun giveaway! How creative. I'm agonizing over which one to pick because they all look amazing. But I think I'm going to have to go with #2 because I've been wanting to get a white pumpkin and haven't yet.

Thanks! -Julia :-)

Wow! I have to say number 4 is my favorite. The colors match my house and my favorite color is red that is the accent color in my kitchen. My hubby is a Hot Chocolate lover ( he does not drink coffee!) It is the red and the handsome rooster for me please!

Robin said...

Hi! I found your lovely blog via your comment on Hooked on Houses. All your vignettes are so pretty, you have a lovely eye. I'd have to say #2 is my favorite - the pumpkin tureen is fantastic and would look great on my dining table!

Lynnette said...

Oh, wow...it is so hard to decide, but I think I would have to choose #4...that cute rooster bowl put it over the top!!! Thank you.

Kim @ Home Is Where The Heart Is said...

All are beautiful, but #4 is a knock out of the ballpark for me! I love the colors, and that it's kitchen related! I love to cook and bake and those are colors of my kitchen as well!

How cute! Thanks for the opportunity of the give away.

I choose #4 as my favorite. I love the warm feeling of the french red colors. It just gives me a nice, holiday feeling.

Happy@Home said...

Wow, Cynthia ~ what a beautiful giveaway you have assembled. All of your vignettes are gorgeous. It would be really hard to just pick one, but if I had to I would choose #2. I love that white pumpkin and also the berry cook book.

Thanks for letting me participate.

Everything you create is always so pretty. Unlike most of your other readers, my absolute favorite is vignette #1. It says pamper me, and I love to be pampered! After a day of cleaning up after a sick 4year old, I’m so ready to relax and feel pampered.

Anonymous said...

Wow, hard choice! All your vignettes are wonderful! I would have to say vignette #4 is my favorite because 1)I just love those red and green colors; 2)that wall hanging is gorgeous; and 3)I LOVE that rooster bowl (roosters are my favorite collectible)!
Thanks for hosting this give-away, have fun with it. Oh, BTW, I love your blog!

Such beautiful vignettes. My favorite is #1. I just love etched glass. But, the soap dish with crystals...now that is just divine.

All were great but I would go with vignette #3 as I have always wanted some red transferware and I collect tea cups so this one is perfect for me.

Thanks for offering these beautiful vignettes. If by some lucky chance I win I can email you my email address as I do not have a blog yet.

Cynthia,

Not sure why this post didn't show up in my reader until now, but at least I am not too late. My favorite is number 2 because I just love that covered stoneware pumpkin dish. It would be perfect for some part of our Thanksgiving meal.

tam said...

Oh my goodness what a fantastic give away!!! I am so excited!!! Ok I love them all but since I have to choose just one it would have to be #4. Because I collect roosters and I need dish towels and napins, and I always wanted a watering can like that one well and just because I like everything in it-they would match my kitchen perfectly! Oh I am hoping I win!!! Thank You-and I adore your blog! I added your button to my blogs. I would like to invite you to visit my blogs and join up too! I am fairly new at this blogging thing and I have to say it is a blast!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Cynthia!

You have the most beautiful blog! I love your sense of style and your home is flat out GORGEOUS!
Hmmm, it's a tough decision, but I think #1 is my favorite! I adore the pink glittery candle, the gold stand is FABULOUS, and I love the etching on the glass hurricane.
You are such a thoughtful girl to create such a wonderful giveaway!
Hope you have a great weekend!

Hugs,
Melissa

Mrs. Cherry Heart said...

Ohhh Cynthia I love them all.
You say I gave to choose a favorite...
have to..... have to?
I'd pick number three then!
Because I am in the process of re-decorating my front room in reds and the plate would be perfect in there while I sip tea from that beautiful tea cup!
The apple basket would be too cute in my red kitchen!

Thank you for putting together such an exciteing give away!

Hugz, Dolly

Oh how I would love to sit and admire these fabulous lovelies in my newly painted red French country kitchen all while sipping some of that gourmet hot chocolate!! That wood screened piece and whisk would be so cute in my kitchen hee hee! Love the Cynthia's Cottage tag too! This is a really fun giveaway and I'm so happy to have the opportunity to enter it. Thank you and congratulations on six months of blogging!!

I came across your wonderful blog which then led me to your wonderful website tonight. I must compliment you on your great taste and an eye for design.
I am front Nassau County, NY but my favorite past time is to travel to the North Fork on the weekends, especially in the fall. I choose Vignette #3. I love the white pumpkin, and the Berrie book, I wish i had in my hands right now, Im just yurning to take a peek inside. This vignette reminds me of my last trip to the north fork, pumpkin picking with my boyfriend for the first time, the pumpkin looks just like the cheesy pumpkins we bought for pumpkin soup. Delicious!

Kristens Creations said...

Eclectic Mishmash - totally unfocused. said...

Hee.

Does fall mean tons of giveaways, or what?? I don't know if your giveaway is closed already, or what, but I'll comment anyway.

I found your blog through your submission on the Home Goods blog ... beautiful vignettes!

I couldn't decide between 1 or 3, but I think I like 3 the best. However, 4 has the most stuff!

I totally have that teacup set in vignette 3.

This is just a brief flyby, but I really like the look of your blog.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! :)
