Spring Sweets Ideas + Enter Our Seasonal Giveaway

Ok — on Tuesday I published a giveaway post but only the photo appeared. The rest of the content didn’t publish, so you didn’t see the giveaway details or anything else I had prepared. I stayed up late the night before to get everything ready, and then the post failed to show. I’m sorry about the confusion and appreciate your patience.

If this had happened on April 1st, it might have looked like an April Fool’s prank, but this time the joke was on me. Note to self: don’t try to do taxes, move, and blog all in the same week. Thanks for bearing with me through an overly ambitious stretch.

I wanted to share how much I adore these little hanging votive vases. They look so sweet hanging from a patio umbrella. It’s lovely and simple to clip a few flowers from the yard and place them in the vases right before dinner outside. They add an effortless touch of charm to an evening outdoors.

One of my blog partners this month, Paula from Neutral Dwelling, carries these hanging votive vases in her shop. To celebrate spring, Paula has generously offered to give a set of three vases to one lucky reader. No joke — to enter, leave a comment below and, if you can, please consider signing up for Paula’s newsletter to support her small shop.

If you’d like a set for yourself, they are available in Paula’s shop. These vases would make a sweet Mother’s Day gift, a thoughtful wedding shower present, or a simple birthday surprise. They’d also be a lovely detail at an outdoor wedding reception or any casual gathering where fresh flowers can be displayed.

Have a great day! I’m headed back to Washington with another large load of belongings. I tried to downsize, but my new house already has quite a bit in it from my first move, and now I’m bringing more in a 10-foot trailer and a 26-foot U-Haul. I tried to pare things down, but it looks like I didn’t downsize enough — nervous laugh.

On a related note, the winner of the Emily June / Little Window Shoppe blog giveaway was Vintage Window. She’s already received a blog makeover, so be sure to check out how pretty her blog looks now. And don’t forget to enter the hanging votive vase giveaway before you go!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ENTERING! THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED AND WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON!
