100 Posts and a Give Away

Realizing I have a small obsession with pink here at Periwinkle Pass, today is the day to admit and share it. That is the first step to recovery, right?

All handtools' handles had to be painted pink due to their unexplained disappearances. Now most of the guys who come to help here at PP bring their own tools and I have had the same set for full year now.

This handy tool box was given to me for Christmas last year.

A beautiful pink mower (my boys look so cute driving this thing)

Look she is even smiling at me.

And all chores have to be done in these light pink boots

And the chickens have a nice pink nesting box.

This is my 100th post! The items (a handmade journal that I created and the handmade hand towel created by Michelle) below will be given away Monday August 17th. Please leave a comment to win. Reference the giveaway on your blog I will enter your name twice. If you don't have a blog, just leave a comment and your email address. I will draw a winner next Monday.

The day flew by. So much to do. So many thoughts.

As suggested by Heather at Audrey Eclectic, I started and finished this book last week. Every night I read it by the light of my itty bitty book light. Candle light would have been more appropriate, but as I am getting older my eyesight isn't getting any better. The author, Jenna, has so much tenacity. It is amazing. She gets up every morning @ 5am to do the homestead chores and then works her 9-5. Doing all the work herself.

If only I had more hours in the day and no signs of ADD. My current obsession is with the "non-growing" garden and and my broody hen. A new baby hatched Saturday morning and my curiosity has lead me to walk to the chicken houses at least 60 times in the last few days. Pictures will follow tomorrow.

On to other things, we have had two deaths at the Farm at Periwinkle Pass - the rabbit my son blogged about earlier and another chick was born with some deformities. I will spare you the gory details. Apologies to my immediate friends and family who have heard the details via phone.

The Festival this past weekend was great. I have learned the mermaids are a favorite. My three mermaid paintings sold in the first few hours. Only 4 more weeks until the next festival, so I need to get busy.

And finally, one more thrift find - a $3.00 light fixture. A glazing of blue and new candle sticks -I love it. (notice there is no mention of how much the electrician cost to install the $3 light fixture). Note to self: learn some basic electrical skills.

Have a great week. Only a few more posts and I will have another give away.
