It's A Bright, Bright, Sunshiny Day!

Hello everyone! I hope you're all having a fabulous day. The sky is a brilliant shade of blue today and it looks like it's shaping up to be a wonderful day here in Hawaii. I know that I haven't mentioned it, but I've had a touch of the flu since Monday evening (the reason I was MIA yesterday). It started with a runny nose and sneezing and then the fever, body aches and headaches followed. (I'll be getting my flu vaccine this coming Tuesday). I'm happy to report that as of today I'm feeling much healthier and ready to tackle life once again. So, in celebration, I'm adding 2 more items to the giveaway.

First up is this quilted yo-yo eyeglass case. It's made for eyeglasses but you could store any small electronic gadget in it as well.


Do you remember these beaded strawberries from my post in May? Well this set of 5 beaded strawberries (lightly scented in vanilla pecan) can be yours as well.


You could be the winner of the eyeglass case and beaded strawberries along with...

this Violet Posie Handy Dandy Pincushion...


this pale yellow and mint green pin...


this 8-pocket travel jewelry tote...


these flower hairpins...


this ice cream cone ornament with beaded wire hanger...



this pretty Fall sunflower tissue holder...


and this Sunshine Posy handbag.
