Morrow and I are visiting my dear friend, Kim, over at her very creative, winsomely titled blog, Window to My World . We met last year when The Frontiersman's Daughter was released. Her heartfelt review became one of my favorites. Kim's enthusiasm and joy for books and writing are truly contagious! I hope you will take a peek, say hello to Kim, and enter the drawing for Morrow's birthday:) This time we thought a Morrow-type gift would be appropriate so the winner will receive a hatbox filled with Crabtree&Evelyn's Summer collection. Bless you all!The soul feeds on simple joys and withers without them. ~Victoria Moran

oooohhh. Great prize for a giveaway. I'm heading over there right now!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, Laura. Hope you are getting some of this wonderful summer weather up there.
How is it that you ALWAYS find the most BEAUTIFUL pictures for your post?!?!! I wish I had that whole little setup of hat boxes in my room right now- it would be such a LOVELY addition :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you also ALWAYS share the most INCREDIBLE quotes, too!! I'm a "quote nut", so I LOVE reading new ones! You're such a blessing!!
Praying you have a beautiful day!! See you over at Kim's blog...
Blessings,
Amanda Stanley

ReplyDeleteI just tried to leave a comment for the giveaway over at Window to my World. For some reason, it won't let me leave a comment. hmm. weird.
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry! Grrr. Blogger is still misbehaving! I will go over and leave a comment for you:) My pleasure!
Amanda,
ReplyDeleteSo happy you like the hatboxes ~ they're really beautiful, aren't they! Wish I had a stack:) I'm such a hat lover, too, and in my Princess Diana days owned quite a few pretty ones! Thanks so much for encouraging me here. I pick the quotes out with you in mind and am always delighted when you are delighted:) Thanks so much for stopping at Kim's!
Julia,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like the pics and colors. Thanks to google images and Flickr! Since I'm not a photographer, they sure make me smile when I find the right one. And thanks so much for stopping by Kim's and commenting. And for reminding me that Morrow's birthday really IS in July! I'm still smiling about that:)
I love Crabree & Evelyn. Great idea!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Amanda, you do find the best pictures for your posts. Half the time I am trying to guess if you took them yourself or did you find them from someplace else.
ReplyDeletethanks for helping me out, Laura!
ReplyDeleteRunner10,
ReplyDeleteThanks for entering the drawing. The gift is a nice change from a book ~ and smells much better:)
Adrienne,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pictures compliment ~ I remember you are a shutter bug/photographer yourself! One of my favorite ways to take a break when I'm writing is to go over to Flickr! and search for just the right photo, though I'm finding more and more of them protected by copyright. I always feel like singing when I find one that is public domain:)
Lisa,
ReplyDeleteHappy to do that for you, dear friend! I forgot to mention that the drawing will stay open for a week and Kim will draw the winner Thursday, July 22, and let me know so I can have the gift shipped. Can't wait!
Hi, Laura. Your website is a feast for the eyes, the mind, and the soul. Laurie
