Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner and Giveaway #3

The Giveaway Palooza continues here at Sweet Bee Cottage!

We just wrapped up the Mary Engelbreit giveaway and now I'm starting my third giveaway of 2013!  

One of my creative outlets these days has been cooking and I am just loving all the fun and funky things I've been seeing at World Market these days, so I found some cute items there I thought you might enjoy.  And it wouldn't be a cooking giveaway without some recipes now would it?  So I picked up a fun little BH&G magazine filled with One Pan recipes.  Just what a buzzy family needs!

Included in this giveaway are:

•a sweet little turquoise bowl with great cottage style

 •a cute little red cutting board (you know I'm just lovin' that red and aqua combo these days)

 •a copy of One-Pan recipes from those folks over at Better Homes and Gardens

 •and the most adorable little dishtowel this side of the Mississippi (do you see that cute little aqua ruffle on the bottom? and the chicken?)

Well here are the rules for this fun giveaway:

1.  Leave a comment telling me what you enjoy to cook.

2.  Be sure to let me know if you are a follower (of my blog, not in life - LOL)  for a second chance (you can leave a comment for that).

3.  For a third chance, post this giveaway on your blog, facebook, etc. and come back to leave me a comment.

4.  Giveaway open to US and Canada only due to shipping costs.  Sorry.

5.  Giveaway ends on Saturday, March 2 at midnight PST.  

Thanks so much for buzzing along with me in the kitchen!  Tonight we are having Silk-Handkerchief Pasta with White Bolognese.  It smells so delicious - wish you were here enjoying it with us.

Bon appetit!

Giveaway Palooza #2 - Very Vintage

There's been a lot of changes here at Sweet Bee Cottage - mostly good - don't worry - but my blogging time has become extremely limited due to these changes.  Since things have been fairly sporadic around here, I wanted to thank you for hanging in there with me with ANOTHER giveaway!  (I know, I know!  It's craaaaaaazy!)

For those of you that visit fairly often, you know I LOVE vintage!  I've even got a little etsy shop devoted to my vintage finds.  

Well, I've been saving a few finds JUST FOR YOU.

I know - you're dying to know what can I win?  What can I win?

Included in this very vintagey giveaway are:

1.  A vintage black metal tray with lovely coral and pink flowers.

2.  A pink Depression glass lidded dish.  (Honestly, I don't know what it was used for....maybe a sugar bowl?  I found a green one just like it that I'm keeping.  I'm using mine for jewelry on my dresser.  Any ideas?)

3.  A charming vintage hankie - lovely purple and yellow flowers on the border with a pink interior.

and

4.  A milk glass urn or compote.

So.....are you feeling my vintage vibe?

400 Posts (Technically 401 Now) Giveaway

Another milestone......400 posts!

So I thought I'd celebrate with my bloggy friends by having a couple of little giveaways!

Giveaway #1 is a copy of From Garden to Plate magazine!  I picked up my own copy and loved it - from garden plans to recipes to preserving tips.

Giveaway #2 is a Spring Gingham Spectacular!  (Okay, spectacular might be overstating it a bit...) It includes a cute little pink gingham bucket, a pad of gingham post-it notes, and 10 of the cutest gingham pencils ever!  (I bought a set for myself and took half to school and kept the other half here at home.)  It also includes a pair of cute chicky springy dishtowels.

Now there must be rules for these sorts of things, so....

1.  You may enter either giveaway, but please leave separate comments for each one. (as in comment #1 - please enter me in giveaway #1 and then comment #2 - please enter me in giveaway #2)  Sure hope that's clear!

2.  Giveaway #1 open to world!  Giveaway #2 only open to US and Canada due to shipping costs.

Pretty Organization Giveaway!

I am so in need of some organization.  

I'm working on it, believe me.  It's a work in progress.

But I have to share one of my favorite ways to get organized is to use labels.  I LOVE labels!  I mean really......don't tell Worker Bee.....but if I wasn't already married, I might marry my label maker.  I even named my label maker - with a label, of course - Mr. Pedicure Jr.  Why Mr. Pedicure Jr.?  Well who doesn't love a pedicure and who doesn't love a label maker.  Am I preaching to the choir?  Can I hear an amen?

Well I found some pretty little labels that I know you will love to help get you organized.  Cath Kidston labels.  Yes.....really.....for you!

Plus, I think you know how much I loved the sweet little doodads from the Michaels $1 bin that reminded me of Cath Kidston or Greengate and.......I got some for you too!  You'll get a pen, a notepad a pencil pouch, and some cupcake liners.  Don't you love it????

All right, all right.....I hear your impatience.....how do we sign up???

1.  Leave a comment on this post (and definitely leave a way for me to contact you) about what you really need to get organized OR what needs labels at your house.

2.  For a second chance to win, take my giveaway button and post it on your blog, come back and leave me a comment so I know.

3.  Giveaway open to United States and Canada only (sorry World).

4.  Giveaway ends on Saturday, Feb. 4 at midnight PST.  Winner will be notified on Sunday, Feb. 5.

Thank you so much for buzzing in to visit

and let's get organized together!

Here's a picture of Mr. Pedicure Jr.  

Isn't he marvelous?
