Home Alone, Sort Of

Being in an empty house is the pits. The boys are bored. I'm bored. All of our belongings are in a POD somewhere. Now don't get me wrong, I am extremely grateful to have a house, to have belongings, to be wishing for my holidays decorations... but I'm still bored and sick of being in limbo.


That being said, I had to close our Etsy and Lollishops until after the move. Half of the merchandise is packed, so it's not really feasible to keep the shops open.


However... it doesn't keep me from picking up items here and there. Our local flea market is a hit and miss kind of place, and a little over priced, but you never know what gems you're going to find:




So, in honor of my boredom and the fun of flea markets, I'm going to give away one of these items. Yes, even including the mercury glass garlands (I got those on eBay). Now, I have to tell you, the pink and silver seems to be about 8 feet long, but the blue is only about four. There are two vintage picks, a sweet little wooden hot air balloon, a papier mache lollipop, and some tin foil candle reflectors that could be used for anything (I will give you 4).


So, you know the drill. Leave a comment, get one chance. Link me back to your blog, get two. Become a follower, get three. Drawing will be on Friday- or sooner if we get the news we can go to settlement!!

hugs- Lee

I know how you feel! And being in flux - it's very stressful. But soon, you'll be in your new home and decorating it! Just keep your eyes on the goal!

Thanks for the words of support! Hubby is supporting me (now that I got the doctor's permission) and it hasn't been too bad. Thanks so much!

How sweet of you to brighten up the lifes of others when you are not all bright and happy yourself.

I would love to win the pink garland! I have been searching all over for some and have not been able to find any.

Hey Lee,
I wish I were closer to you so we could hang out, I have enough clutter and crap all around that you wouldn't be missing your stuff! I really have to get your goodies to you, do you want me to go ahead and send them to you at this address or wait for you to get to the new one?
love you girl,
angela

Hi Lee! I came to your blog from The Feathered Nest :) Ughh- I hate moving. We just moved into an old house at the beginning of November and we're still living out of boxes!! I hope you love the new place and will be able to get settled much faster than us hehe :) Your giveaway sounds wonderful and I will definitely be sending my followers your way! Take care :)
