It's 122 Posts and Counting Giveaway! Mini Transformation Bonus!

How did I miss this milestone?  I've posted over 100 times.  This is my 122nd post!  My how time flies!

In honor of writing 122 posts, I'm having a little giveaway.  (That I meant to do at 100 posts!)






I purchased this set of boxes from Gooseberry Patch and they have been in storage ever since.  

To enter, please leave a comment on this post.  To get a second opportunity mention this giveaway in your blog and let me know.  You don't have to be a follower.  Please feel free to become a follower if you like what you see, but don't feel you have to.   You can enter until midnight, PDT on Sunday, March 28 and I'll announce the winner Monday, March 29.

So sorry, but this is only open to U.S. and Canada due to shipping costs.

Also I didn't have time to do a lot this weekend, but I did perform a mini transformation . . . 
Started the morning shiny chrome - 
Now much more fitting with the future direction of Sweet Bee Cottage's kitchen.  Just took about 3 coats of Krylon's Oil Rubbed Bronze paint.  

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Plans are coming along for our new kitchen garden and the transformation of the kitchen (don't see that getting done over Spring Break, but maybe we can get started) to my new love.  I'm so glad you took a little time out of your day to stop by.

Don't forget to leave a comment if you want to enter my giveaway!

Happy Spring!

    Hi! I just arrived here via Debbie (of iamsimplydebbie.com & There's An Angel On My Front Porch.) I swear, she made me come here & leave a comment! Just kidding! She's such a sweetie, she'd never do anything like that. But she did suggest you've got something wonderful here! I'd love to win these! They'd look wonderful in my kitchen that I've just changed up!
    Thanks for the opportunity to win this - that's so generous of you! Leslie Anne

    Great Giveaway Sweet Bee. You certainly got everyone excited. I know it's can be hard to let things go but I've seen the direction your kitchen is going and it will be so beautiful. Sometimes we have to let go of old loves to move on right? As much as I like them too don't enter me, I'm trying to clear out and make some breathing room as it it! I'm trying not to end up on Clean House, or worse yet, Hoarders! LOL!

    It's so sweet of you to have a give away! I'm not sure if I've visited your blog before or not but it sure is cute!

    I am so impressed that you are a teacher and you still find time to blog. I'm going back to work next year and I'm a little worried about blogging. Isn't that silly?

    I'm off now to look at lots of posts here. :)
