Smells of Spring

I love the Smells of Spring

I wish I had "smell-o vision" so you could smell it too.

The first "smell" of spring for me is the Orange blossoms. We have 4 citrus trees in the backyard that smell fabulous. Everyone who walks up to our front door is greeted with that super sweet aroma. (I forgot to get a picture of the citrus in bloom). My second "smell" of spring is this fabulous rose bush.It started out in our backyard with the intent to grow up and over a trellis. It never grew. Ugh!! We decided to replace it with something more aggressive but were hesitant to rip it out. We knew we would move it but were afraid it would go into shock. We moved it to a little tiny planter on the corner of our front yard driveway. Boy did it like it's new home. It blooms all year long. But, the best thing by far is the smell.
My husband was in his car leaving the other day and I was talking to him through his sunroof. I tried to grab a rose so that he could smell it and the petals all fell off in my hand. So.... I grabbed at a bunch of fading roses and then showered my love with the highly fragrant petals through his sunroof. He thought it was funny. Luckily for me, he hasn't asked me to clean them out of his car. (yet!!)

Have a lovely Spring weekend.

Giveaway and Shop Sale

May 1st is the 1 year anniversary of my goods shop!!

So....... I'm going to have a giveaway to celebrate.

I decided to giveaway some of my new items. These are featured on the home page of the lollishops site today.This is a fabulous pack of vintage children's book pages. Each pack has a beautiful original 1953 Dick and Jane page in it. The fonts and illustrations on these pages are wonderful. 3 Yards of this old (probably vintage but I have no way to verify) peachy-pink lace trim.

And last but not least a set of my absolutely favorite 1920's Vintage French Dictionary pages. One lucky winner will recieve all of the items pictured above. Yeah!!! I am also having a Sale in both of my shops in an attempt to try and reach 500 sales in my goods shop. So, I am offering 15% off any order of $20.00 or more until mid. pst 5/1. You can order from both shops and the totals will count together. I will refund you the difference after through paypal or I can lower the price in advance if you convo me before payment. I thought that there was a way to offer a discount code but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Also, if I reach 500 sales by May 1st. in my goods shop then I will add a nice gift card to the giveaway prize.

So, how to enter. Leaving a comment between now and midnight PST on Sat April 30th will count as 1 entry. Posting a blog about the giveaway and then letting me know will count as a second entry, any purchasing from either shop will count as an entry as well. There you have it, 3 ways to enter. Good luck.

Thank you all for being such a huge part of my shops success.
