Another Giveaway and Another Sneak Peek of My Kitchen


I have been so busy painting cabinets in my kitchen, but every once
and a while I need a break.  So I took my cup of coffee into the living
room and started looking through a pile of old magazines.  



I think that I own every issue of Mary Engelbreit's magazine ~
Home Companion.  But I can't keep them all.

So ...




I have decided to give a few of them away.  I will be giving three of you an opportunity
to win one magazine each.  There is an April/May 2003 issue.  One from
August/September 2004 and another from August/September 2005.




If you would like to win one of these mags, just leave a comment
and I will enter your name in the hat!




And for now ~ it's back to more painting.  Later on I will be
taking another break to join in on some party fun and will be
stopping by to visit ~


Honest Bentley, I have not forgotten about your dog toy
giveaway.  We need to do some shopping before we can
make that happen.

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

  5. I can only imagine if Bentley were to have a conversation with Bryn and Dolly that they were laugh about the things we say to them. Your cupboards are going to be great! I'd love to win one of your magazines.

  13. Hi Susan, I think I have all of those issues of ME so let another lucky person win one instead of me. I'm watching your kitchen paint job. My hubby refuses to let our cabinets be painted so I'm stuck with the dark wood (for now-hehehe). Linda

  16. Love your white cab. If Roger came home and found me painting our oak cabinets he would have a heart attack. But I do love yours!

  17. I am another one that has all the issues of the Mary Englebreit magazine, so sad when it stopped publishing. If you happen to draw my name, give it to someone else, so more can enjoy!! Happy painting!!

  18. Looks like your cupboards are coming along nicely. I like the rooster prints with the red gingham matting!

  19. Give Bentley a little hug for me, he's so darned cuddly looking. Love all your blue/white dishes, so envious.
    I was so bummed when Mary Englebreit stopped publishing her zine. I only have one left as I would give them to my daughter when I was thru and she gave them away. I refuse to part with the one do have. Thanks for chance to win one.

  21. Love the way your china looks. I just purchased my first real (vintage) china....enough to serve 15! We are going to convert our dining room (currently a play/dog room) back to a dining room. I am so excited...I have been pinning rustic farm tables like crazy!

  24. How I love your chickens perched high atop your fresh white cupboards! They add such a wonderful old fashioned appeal to your kitchen!
    Thank you for this wonderful post and for your generous giveaway, Susan. I am a big fan of Mary Engelbreit decorating my sewing room with many of her pretties.
    Do have a great week, my friend!
