Hi my sweet dears, how are you each on this fine Wednesday? I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has entered (and written blog entries) about Chronically Vintage’s Jessie Willcox Smith vintage artwork giveaway. You guys are absolutely amazing, your enthusiasm regarding this contest has brought such happiness my way.

The past couple of days have been immensely busy for me (in a good way though, with the high point definitely going to Tuesday night when my husband and I went to see a live theater performance of The Sound of Music. It was strikingly wonderful and I plan to blog about the experience in the not too distant future), and I’m just now getting a chance to read through your wonderful comments. This giveaway is going to run until November 31st, so if you haven’t entered yet, don’t worry you’ve still got plenty of time to do so.

Tonight and over the next few days I’m going to try my best to catch up on all of the comments that have been left on my last few entries, while also putting together some lovely posts for the second half of this week.

Thank you again so much for your entries and comments, everybody! I hope that you’re each doing wonderfully and having a beautiful week!
