October 31
This is it friends, we've made it to the end of the month. I'm so sad to see it end, and I have truly enjoyed getting to "know" so many of you.
I thought it was best that we go out with a bang, so I'm adding two items today!
First, I've selected this wonderful old "Medial Writing" book. What's not to love about this book!! Everything from the yellowed pages, the child's penmanship, to the words they are learning to write in cursive are fabulous!
Next, I have a real treasure for you- this is a handwritten love letter from a French soldier.
Now you are officially looking at the entire treasure trove. I can't wait to get all of these goodies off to their new owner. I'll be announcing the winner tomorrow but for now I have TONS of tally-ing to do!

Happy Anniversary
I'll be back tomorrow with a step-by-step tutorial on how I created this piece :) I hope you get inspired, or try it yourself sometime. It's cheap, simple, and can be adapted to so many different occasions!

As always, here is a look at the almost-complete treasure chest:

October 29
I'm blogging to you all from the comfort of my warm studio while bundled up in flannel p.j.'s and a big sweat shirt. I'm staring out the window watching rain, snow, and sleet fall in OCTOBER! This nor-eastern snow storm has really thrown us for a loop, and although I know it's not going to accumulate to anything the first real snow of the season is always a little shocking! I hope all of my north eastern friends stay warm and dry this weekend :)
This is another items that I haven't quite found a good use for yet. This little bi-fold tag comes from France, and has lovely gold print covering the front.
It's perfectly charming, and has so much possibility!
Only two days left:(

October 28
I've been collecting old embellishments for quite a while now, yet I've never actually used any of them in my craft projects. Which makes them the perfect item to include in the give away.
These sweet little stars are miniature in size- about 1/2 inch across, and made up of tarnished sequins and old bullion. I couldn't resist buying them as soon as I saw them!
I hope someone else can put this little guy to use somehow...
I've loved watching this treasure trove grow. It barely fits now, but I have over three items left to add!

Give away details
As the month draws to a close I just wanted to give some details about the give away/ drawing:
I'll draw a winner on Monday, Nov 1st and announce the winner that evening. I've managed to fit everything into a medium flat rate box (I still can't figure out how!), and will be happy to cover domestic shipping charges. (If that winner happens to live internationally, I am asking that they pay the difference)
I'd also like to ask the winner to please pass along any items that may not be their style/taste to friends, family or co-workers. Or simply let me know that you're not interested in a certain item/items. I won't be offended in the least, and just want to make sure that all of these items (that come from my personal collection) go to good use :)
Don't forget that you can go back and review the give away posts from the month and continue to enter up until October 31st. One entry per item is permitted.
Thank you!

Edited Paris
October 25 and 26
Good morning! I'm so sorry I left you hanging yesterday. It's been one of those weeks (and it's only Wednesday...yikes), and I've been running around in a tizzy since Sunday afternoon. Last night my dad unexpectedly called saying he was in town, so we set up a last minute dinner date which is my true reason for not updating yesterday.
Anyway... today I'm posting the additions for both yesterday and today. Enjoy!
This pint sized ice cream carton is to die for! There is something about this piece that I just love! It's old waxed card stock that is perfect for almost anything you can imagine!
You know me and ephemera- we go together like milk and cookies. So today I wanted to share some of the love with you guys, and that means passing along these three vintage postcards. Aren't they charming!
Here is a view of the pot so far. Only a few days left!!
And if you just happen to be joining the give away (welcome!!) remember that you can go back and comment and ANY previous posts to increase your entries :)
Fingers crossed for a relaxing few evening!

We only have one week left in the give away and some of my favorite items are yet to be revealed!
Today's addition is this little book of rent receipts. Don't you love the font and layout!!
I hope this addition gets your week off to a good start :)
Good luck!

October 23
I went through a phase where I was obsessed with finding and buying vintage seed packs. Although I bought far less than I found, since I'm frugal (aka cheap!), I did end up with quite a few packs.
I'm not a fan of the vegetable Kale, but in vintage seed pack form I love it! I hope you do too :)
My crafting Sunday starts right now, and I am beyond excited. Joe is on laundry duty, and I've declared that I'm not leaving the studio for hours. Thank you Sunday football games!
Are you guys having a good weekend?
