Creole Thrift

Congratulations to Mrs. Cooper at Cooperswife for winning the Summer cookbook. I will e-mail you xoxo

This will be the last book give-away,  I wish I could do more but I can not afford the shipping ;-) This weeks book is "Creole Thrift" by Ange'le Parlange. and is a very interesting book. It is half decorating, half history. Ms. Parlange has developed a beautiful creole style and has some really wonderful and thrifty projects. But also she talk about her families plantation. Parlange Plantation is, if I am correct is the only Louisiana plantation still owned by the original family. Reading the history of the home and family was fascinating. I really was inspired by this book and hope you are to.

I want to thank all of you for coming to my blog and participating in my book give-away. You readers have been such a blessing to me and I only hope I can bless you to xoxoxo

Clarice you are ever so kind to be sharing these wonderful books with your blog readers, it is the least they could do is to assist you with the postage, as you surely have a special radar to find them for us. This Creole edition is particularly interesting.

Thanks for all the links of new blogs, am checking them out and really blown away with what some folks are getting up to. Visiting your blog always makes my day.

I love this book, I've checked it out of the library before and it is beautiful.

I'm coming up against the price of postage, too. Even with Media Rate, it is getting expensive to send books.

[Janet]

Good morning an Happy Spring. I want to wish you, avid and the girls a very Happy Easter. I know you will make it very special for your family.

x0x,
Janet
PS. What's on the menu?

[Sher's Creative Expressions]

I know what you mean about the shipping. It's so expensive isn't it? Shipping Christmas gifts sometimes cost me more than what's inside the boxes I'm shipping!!

Blessings,

Sher

Have a Happy Easter Clarice!!!

Just found you thru Jennifer at SisBoom....I've been wanting this book. How lucky would I be to win it!
I know how expensive shipping is these days...but, did you know that printed material can be shipped media mail? It's considerably cheaper. Gotta go...have a new blog to read ;-)

[Bebe]

P.S. I'm off to check out your rose-walnut cookie recipe....

[Cheryl (Copperswife)]

I won?? I really won? Wow!! Thank you, Clarice!!!

[Carla]

Once again, count me in! Thanks!

[Janice]

That book looks so interesting. You are so generous.

[Carolyne Carrick]

Visiting your blog is like visiting a good friend and coming away with great ideas for decorating and inspiration for making my home a better place.
I've enjoyed being introduced to new authors through your 'giveaways', and now they're on my "Wish List".
Wishing you a Happy Spring full of blooms :-)

[Lorrie]

Your blog is lovely - full of homey chatter, perfect with a cup of tea and something sweet.

[Sarah]

Oh man, I have been oogling this book at the bookstore for awhile now. Pick me! (Crossing fingers.)

P.S. have you been using media mail?

[Dawn]

Oh I would LOVE this book sweet Clarice and I have to tell you that your new blog header is ENCHANTING!! So sweet just like you ~ xxoo, Dawn

[June]

I think your whole giveaway project demonstrates what a lovely giving heart you have.

This book you've posted about today sounds lovely. I've heard of it but only in terms of online sales pitches. It's nice to hear from someone who's actually read it.

Congrats to Mrs. Cooper (one of my favorite blogs). Don't enter me in this drawing because I have that book. It's interesting to read about her family history and she has some interesting projects as well.

[Pat]

Nice book give away! It is sad how expensive postage has become :-(

I loved touring the old sugar Plantations in Louisiana along River Road the French Quarter in New Orleans.

Happy Spring!

Hugs, Pat
