Peace of Thread Giveaway

I was visiting Paige from Simple Thoughts today and she is hosting an amazing giveaway. She recently purchased a lovely bag from a non-profit organization called Peace of Thread.

Peace of Thread is a non-profit organization that empowers women AND has an amazing ministry.

The name of each bag has special meaning too. My favorite is the POM bag which represents pomegranate, or God's favor.

Please visit Paige over at http://paigeknudsen.blogspot.com for a chance to win one of these amazing bags!

The generosity of so many here in blogland is truly amazing.

I have had some conversations with some truly amazing and inspiring ladies here in blogland recently as I am still learning the ropes.

Have you checked out Tracey's giveaway over at French Larkspur yet?

I am planning my own little giveaway soon because the generosity is so contagious!

Apron love and a giveaway!

I absolutely love,love, love this apron!

After reading Dust Lu Interiors' current blog post about her giveaway, I kept hearing "Read all about it!" ringing in my head.

She has written an article in the New York Times about a new store and blog, A Beautiful Mess Antiques.

CONGRATS to both of you on your accomplishments!

I love seeing other ladies accomplish their goals, it is very INSPIRING.

And the best part is, they are having a lovely giveaway. I have included photos of the really cute basket and cheese markers.

A Shopping Spree, A Sale and A GIVEAWAY!

THE SHOPPING SPREE:
If anyone read yesterday's post, you would know that I have been on a little shopping spree lately! Staying true to my blog's name, Frugal And Vintage, I mostly shop in thrift shops or on Etsy. Yesterday I posted two sweet little sets of napkin rings I bought from Etsy shops, Taras Vintage Kitchen and Shopjude. Don't worry, I got them on sale. I LOVE sales! And I also bought the cute little quilted bag pictured above, also on sale on Etsy! Doesn't every girl need a new bag for the spring?

THE SALE:
I have decided to share the sale love by having a March Madness Sale in my Etsy shop, offering 20% off EVERY item in my shop until the end of the month.


And THE GIVEAWAY:
I was over at the beautiful lola B's blog, http://lolabboutique.blogspot.com, and wanted to share with you her giveaway! If you love chandeliers and lamp shades as much as I do (and what girl doesn't?) then this giveaway is a must!

Happy March

As we begin the new week and the new month, I want to remind everyone this is the perfect time for change! So many of you have posted similar things today and as always, you have brightened my day.

As I work on making changes (which will take some time!) I wanted to share with you something I read last night. As part of the book I am reading( I don't want to give anything away for those of you who have not read it yet), I read Proverbs 31, The Capable Wife.

"She is generous to the poor and needy."

"She is a hard worker, strong and industrious."

"She is strong and respected and not afraid of the future."

I want to be more like her.

I am working towards that with the inspiration of all of you!

And I know you are all wondering how does the photo of the clock faces have anything to do with her post!

Well, my photo today is from the lovely Tracey over at French Larkspur, who is hosting a wonderful giveaway! Part of her giveaway includes three of her clock faces which I have just adored since the day she posted the beautiful table she set for her friend that she had over for lunch and used the clock faces as coasters. I really want to win!

Happy Monday!

Valentine's Day Giveaway

With Valentine's Day weekend here, I am so excited with all of the blog giveaways! Federica from Sweet As A Candy blog is sponsoring a giveaway of this pillow from Petit Couture on Etsy. I think it would look nice in my office and would be great inspiration for me!

Have a great weekend and Happy Valentine's Day!
