Fun Finds and a Winner...

Well, fall is definitely over here in Minnesota, with the onset today of our first snowstorm!  I must admit...I've been hanging some greens in the house now, 
because it feels like winter!  
Last week I had some fun finds and thought I'd share a few with you today!  
I love this English earthenware mixing bowl...it's newer, and can even go in the dishwasher!  It will get lots of use, and it's pretty, too...


This next find fits right in with the hanging of the greens...a preserved boxwood wreath!  I was surprised to see this in the thrift store!  It's hanging on a big chalkboard in our entryway...


and finally a round wood bread board...always a nice find!


I want to thank you for all of the kind comments and good wishes sent my way for my Artful Blogging magazine post!  You are such a supportive group of friends 
and I truly appreciate it!

The winner of the magazine giveaway is~

  2. Linda, I love your wreath . .. it's very nice. Hate that you are getting winter weather...cause that means we will be getting it next. Hopefully somewhere there is a bit of Indian Summer for us yet. Take care, xoxo, Susie

  3. Great finds. Makes you wonder what nutball donated that wreath to the thrift store in the first place :) Hope you stay warm up there. No snow expected down here yet.

  5. Congrats to Alice! Love the bowl and I especially love the preserved boxwood wreath, Linda! What a great thrift store find. I was just thinking (and mention in my post for tomorrow) how two of those boxwood wreaths would look good on my new shutters in our dining area. I'm going to the thrift store tomorrow. Think I'll get that lucky? : )

  16. Congratulations to Alice :)

    What beautiful finds.... I can't imagine why someone would donate the wreath! But how lucky for you they did - it looks so beautiful.

    First snowstorms.... yikes! We have been having beautiful sunshine but now it just seems to keep raining!!! Luckily I got lots and lots of bulbs planted yesterday in the dry!
