visiting
this weekend!
the weather
on saturday
was gorgeous!
so
we lounged around
outside
before and after
an excursion to
the dada exhibit.
sunday
we went for a drive
in the countryside
and visited
the pope-leighey house.
there was a great
deal of eating out
and wine-drinking as well.
woowee
i am sleepy today.
johnny is here
until tuesday
but
he is out and about
on this rainy day
in dc
while i listen
to student
presentations on insects
all day.
last week
i tried to get
most of the packages
out for
the great monday give-away™
so those who claimed items
should be getting
in the mail soon.
i have run into
a bubblewrap shortage
so the traincases
are on a bit of a delay
sorry about that.
i have also decided
to implement
a new guideline
for the great monday give-away™...
i love you all
but i am
breaking the bank
on shipping...
so i am afraid
i have to ask
those out of the USA
to help me
by paying
the shipping.
sorry about that.
you know
i love all you
canadians,
europeans,
and
australians!
if only i were rich
and could send them
to all of you
free of charge
but until we find
a give-away™
sugar mama
or sugar daddy
we can all work together
to keep
the give-away™ going...
thanks for understanding.
i received 2 more
great monday give-away™
postcards!
i wanted to
post them today
but i forgot them
at home.
stay tuned
tomorrow
for some
fabulous
postcards!
so without further adieu...
the great monday give-away™!

I am very interested in the canisters. I can take them off your hands. But I just wanted to make sure I'm reading this right. The largest one is 6 inches tall? The photo is deceiving because they all seem like they'd be more than 4 or 5 inches tall.
We've used up our existing 4 canisters for bulk items but the pasta, flour, and trail mix still need a home.
Glad you had a good time with your brother. :)
Hola Bugheart!
I would LOVE the yellow thread holder! I've got my spools and bobbins all jumbled together...
very unpleasant.
AK isn't the Far East...but it's still far. Let me know if you need postage.
Is it wrong to claim again? I'll understand if you give the orange skirt to someone else, but I would love LOVE to have it!
asking us to pay shipping is fine :) much better than you bankrupting yourself... that would be way to much sacrifice to the blogworld
And so you should ask for shipping, i for one don't mind paying it. I mean we're getting something for free, it's the least we can do. I can't believe how much wonderful stuff you are giving away, your place must be so interesting to visit!
OH!!! I'd love that vintage sleeveless top from Sears. It looks wonderful
Oh, that pic of your brother is at a great angle.
completely unrelated to the give-away...just wanted to say that i LOVE your sandals!
so far...
canisters: betarunner
sewing box: eero
VG skirt: dacia
sleeveless shirt: debbie
jantzen skirt: still available
I LOVE the rooster pattern--is that a skirt or dress?
I have been sneaking around reading blogs all this time--just not blogging myself.
gamecockdoc-
the sandals
are cidwoqs!
they are
so comfortable!
rooster- i
t's a reversible
wrap skirt.
it's polka-dotted
on the other side!
ooh, yummy stuff. And you sound like you had a GREAT day with your spunky brother... nice. I wish my family lived closer to me (sigh. Pity me not... I may not have family living close by but I am cursed with gorgeous good looks!).
No fair. You didn't say you had a blog. Now I missed a great "give away". Ok, I'll check the next one...I could've used a thread organizer...
i know this is ridiculous, to claim something way after... but... i keep seeing the jantzen yellow skort behind the lab door... and i kind of put it against me... and it kind of fits... and it is perfect for post-biking beer and burger... can i have it? can i have it?
Yipppeeeee! Just saw that I won the blue maybe Sears sleeveless vintage shirt. Just e-mail me and I'll send you my address. Also, let me know shipping cost and your address so I can pay for shipping. Thanks again! Debbie
