Hi hi hi!
Hello out there.
I had intended to share some fun freebies and such with you before Thanksgiving…
Alas, I was hit with some random food poisoning and that changed everything.
But that's all over, thank goodness!
And now, I have some other kind of fun to share.
How about a sweet little giveaway to kick off December?
I have a holiday article in the Dec/Jan 2015 issue of Flea Market Decor Magazine, so I thought I'd give away a copy.
Along with a little journal and playing cards from my new giftware line.
This magazine is sooo much fun.
I highly recommend it.
They fill it with an array of scrumptious content, yet something different for every taste.
Here are some examples from inside the mag…
That trunk and handbag are just swoooon!
I love the variety.
There's romantic flare, eclectic collected decor, bright colors, muted French tones.
Such fab variety.
So, I have a little gift set all wrapped in a pink bow ready for one of you.
Magazine and treats.
Just say howdy in comments to enter.
I'll draw a name in a few days.
How did it get to be December already?
It's more than my brain can compute.
🙂
xoxo
Love, V
Howdy!!
Howdy…..Hello…..Love this magazine and would love to win it.
I cannot believe that tomorrow is the first day of December! This year is just swooshing by super fast!
Glad to know that you are over that bout of food poisoning! So sorry you went through that! Good that you are feeling better!
Hugs!
Howdy! A win would make my week!
Howdy! Can’t wait to see the spread in the magazine! Love this time of the year, come on December and Santa can drop that trunk off over here 😉
Howdy! Have a lovely December!
Howdy!! This year has gone so fast….I was blessed this year with planning my daughters wedding and gaining a son-in-law!! But now it’s time to start redecorating my house since I will have time and I would love to win this magazine😊ðŸ˜Å
Howdy, Vanessa! I’m so excited that your talents are displayed in another magazine. Congrats! I would love to win this splendid little gift set.

Thanks, adams Kathy
Heidi Ho Vanessa!
Sorry to hear that the food got to you – certainly always makes one appreciate robust health!
Got my first batch of journals, and they’re just lovely 🙂 I’m planning on giving away a few as gifts, and one more on the stack for extra gifting couldn’t hurt. Looking forward to your festive December posts and those in the bright new year.

So beautiful and inspiring!
Congratulations on the article! I am looking forward to reading it, and seeing all the beautiful pictures. Your posts and pictures are always a breath of fresh air. Merry Christmas!
Howdy! This hamper looks great! I love the theme of the incoming spread. Cant wait!!!!
Howdy! How wonderful that you are in another issue of the magazine! No one else can do such beautiful pastels as you.
Howdy. Hola. Hello. Bonjour….. time to do some seasonal decorating. Feel like switching it up a wee bit this year.
Happy December, Vanessa!
This magazine looks amazing, I would love a chance to win.
Hugs!
~Howdy Miss Vanessa~ I adore your spirit and creativity and you inspire me with all your enchantedness! Perusing that wonderful magazine would be just so divine..:) Congratulations to you once again!
Ooooh, I’ll have to hunt for it at the newsstands and hopefully I can locate it here. For some reason, my area doesn’t get certain publications; which is a bummer. I need to subscribe to that magazine and the other one that features your work from time-to-time. Trouble is, I always forget the names and end up buying a million others as I can’t remember which one exactly. Hahaha. (Geesh)
December 1st: Yaaaaay! Honestly, I’ve already finished my Xmas shopping and put up a beautiful new Xmas tree. It’s an all-white tree with bulbs in emerald green, gold, silver, and accents pieces that shimmer with glitter and jewels. It’s especially pretty with the lights out, too.
Howdy! And wow, lovely magazine and lovely pictures from you. It’s just green outside My windows in sweden, dreaming of a white christmas …

Boy Howdy! Look at you, Ms. Written, Styled AND Photographed byline! YAY! You so rock. 🙂 I swear, your pastels are like no other. Hey do you know Dolly Parton’s Hard Candy Christmas song? You’ve got sort of the happy version of that going.
So far I have *a* wreath on my office door and *a* wreath hanging in the house. Ay yai yai!!

Hi! Love, love, love your art and blog — and want to put my fedora in the ring for your magazine giveaway treat,
Hugs, Sally in Tucson
Howdy partner!
Love your blog! It inspires me. Thank you.
Strange that when you say ‘giveaway’ everybody appears out of the woodwork. They must be like the boggarts who come out to eat honey on graham crackers, which is irresistible to them. Spiderwick Chronicles.
No one can resist your glorious giveaways! Ha!
So, it’s ‘howdy’ to you, Miss V.
Where was everyone when you began selling your goodies from your store? I ask you???!!! Odd, how the human mind ‘works’.
Yes, I am being a ‘snarky fairy’ today, and may the odds be ever in the favor of the one who wins the giveaway. Yep!
I have already purchased what you are giving away, so I hope someone other than myself, really does win!
But, please put me in the draw any who, as I can always surprise someone else with the delightful goodies.
Miss Snarky Fairy Teresa (only snarky on occasion)Hee! Hee!
At least you know you still have a a ‘fan’ club out there!
Congrats on your article and Happy December! Love checking in with you to see what you have created!
WOW..perhaps I am the last HOWDY!~!~
Jo
So cute!
Seasons Greetings Vanessa the Great!
Congratulations on your lovely new gift line and also for your beautiful mag feature. You are SO inspirational and creative! Have a wonderful Christmas and all the best for 2016.
So glad you’re feeling better.
Much Love
Gina V
Don’t know if it is too late, but Howdy! Your blog inspires and perks me up on many days 🙂
