I want to say a heartfelt thank you to each of you lovely souls who left comments on my Wild about flowers post. I was amazed at all of the gorgeous descriptions of your favorite flowers. It was such a delight to read about the cherished memories that flowers evoke for each of you. I was even reminded of some flowers that I had forgotten about, like forget-me-nots! And snapdragons, which my mom used to make “talk” for me. Fuschia is another flower that was mentioned, and it brought back memories of the plant my fourth grade teacher had hanging in our classroom! There were so many dear moments shared in the comments. Memories of mothers and grandmothers, of picking irises and blackberries. I hope you’ll take a moment to read through them if you can! I appreciated everything you shared and responded to each of you. If you didn’t subscribe to follow-up comments, then please click on that post and scroll down to find my replies!
Oh how I wish I could send a copy of Bella Grace to everyone who commented. I truly do. Your love of flowers has inspired me to spend more time here on my personal blog. I tend to be so busy with other projects and family life that I don’t come here as often as I plan. But knowing there are so many of you out there who love the magical beauty of nature inspires me to bring more to this space of mine. So stay tuned for more goodness!
And now for the giveaway winner! (Sorry it took me until the wee hours to get this posted! I was making sure I had responded to all of your comments first!) My daughter is always my helper when it comes to giveaways. I write each name on a piece of paper and usually she picks one out of a jar. This time there were so many names that I had to put them in a big colander! She chose the winner: Bonita Rose! Quite appropriate considering that the post was about flowers! I’ll be sending you an email shortly to get your mailing address, so please check your inbox for a note from someplaceserendipitous{at}gmail{dot}com!
In the meantime, I’m wishing you each a day full of summer magic and light that dances on flower petals. Remember to keep checking the Stampington blog for more chances to win a copy of Bella Grace! Xoxo.
