Little Vintage French White Farm House On The Prairie Give Away!

Did I hear someone say it's time for the Little Vintage French White
Farmhouse On The Prairie Give Away?? Well, whoever it was...
they are SO right...it's the first day of Spring...it is time! {It's has been
rainy and cold all day...see, eventually we Cali folk get our comeuppance!
And I just figured out that my Sammy does not want to sit on my lap
because she loves to cuddle mom...it's because she is shamelessly
warming her skinny pet loins with the warmth of my laptop!!! ;}

If you are at all intrigued by the photo snippets above...
by all means...continue reading and looking!!!There's
a lot to get through!!!




I have been perusing Bloglandia...taking note of all things
Vintage, French, White, Farm House-y and Prairie-fied
{that about covers it, right?!! ;} So, I decided to gather up
some little goodies from bloggers we all know and love
and whose names pop right into your mind whenever the
words Vintage, French, White, Farm, House & Prairie*
are mentioned...
and I want to give these gathered goodies...to one of you!
{ * hereafter to be named VFWFHP...because I'm already
exhausted from typing it...and I'll surely need a cookie break
half way through this post! }



We begin with these gorgeous mixed media tags lovingly created by
the fun and fabulous, June of Laughing With Angels ...they are just
dripping with lace, roses and fleur-di-lis...
and are almost too dreamy to touch! But you surely will!!!



Now if the closest you have been to France...is eating French fries, like me...
from Maria's Dreamy Whites shop...a vintage French sample of correspondence...
the penmanship is amazing!!!



Scan it, copy it, frame it...it's a true work of art!
{I think that white squiggle on the top of a Hostess cupcake is art,
so, you might not trust me on this point...but I assure you...it's
tres fab!!!!}





From Tracey's shop at French Larkspur ...Lavender Sugar complete with a vintage teaspoon!
Hello! Sugar...one of my major food groups! ;}



Personally...I think it's too pretty to eat!! Seriously...just put it someplace
where you can adore it!!!




Also, from French Larkspur...Lavender Soap...





Bundled up with beautiful lace and a vintage medallion...
again...too pretty to use! ;} I really don't know anyone worthy
of washing off their schmootz with this!





And from The Old Painted Cottage ...this vintage spool...
I have an inexplicable thing for spools! I can't sew and have no
idea how to "spool" anything...that is how inexplicable my "thing"
is! But I just know Laura Ingalls had one! Use it as a little vase,
a pencil holder...a very vintage dental floss dispenser...the skies the limit!





And now from moi...
Three little galvanized pots complete with a handled tray.





Use them on your desk for bit and bobs...
you vanity for cotton balls & q-tips...
your dresser for jewelry or all the annoying
spare buttons you have to cut off of every garment you buy! ;}
They even have liners so you can grow herbs in them
too...or a really small tree... ;}






Next we have this adorable French milk bottle with a white
porcelain lid...
{sorry...a bit too heavy on the "blur" with this shot...as you may have
noticed, I used every single "effect" Picnik has to offer...it's quite
addicting...and calorie free! ;}





As a vase or a actual milk bottle...pretty darn cute!
I just know Amélie has one like this in her fridge!





How about this rustic little chicken wire basket...
now this warms the cockles of my heart!
I may not know nothin' about France...'tho French
I am...like most of you Americans, I do know about
farmhouses and prairies...from my immigrant ancestors
who homesteaded the vast expanse of "middle America".





It comes with a glass vase inside so it can be used as a charming
hanging candle holder or a kitchen "catch-all"...reminds me
of my great-grandmother...she came to the OC before she was 20,
but ever was a Missouri farm girl.






And last but not least...
HRH Mr. Birdie, who has promised to sit anywhere
your little heart desires a touch of whimsy! {and is a
tad miffed that he has not received an invite from
Wills & Kate! ;}




So, there you have it...
Vintage
French
White
Farmhouse
Prairie...
see anything you like?





Oh, did I forget to mention that you will also receive...

The Farm Chicks In The Kitchen and
