The good news and the....edited news

You see this gorgeous silver serving piece full of the most divine smelling homemade gardenia soap?

I was lucky enough to win Jana's fabulous first giveaway over at Collected Treasures!

It's an entire loaf(!) of the most incredible smelling, all-natural gardenia soap ever.

Silly girl, she said on the enclosed note that if I didn't like the scent I could sell it in my booth.

Yeah, as if!!!

My splendid loaf o' soap was sitting prettily in this elegant vintage silver serving piece!

I think I actually squeeed when I saw it!

Jana, you are simply the best, I love it all!

Visit Jana's highly addictive online store to see all her goods, she has some truly amazing finds.

Breaking News! Edited to add that I just found out more loot and swag is headed my direction...the talented Cori of Starview Sonnet just announced that I was the winner of her 100th post giveaway!

Direct from Cori's terrific etsy shop...

Is that not fab? And it's BIG, too! Measures 42" by 11".

Thanks so much Cori, I can't wait to get it!

More good news, I've racked up about a half dozen sales this week, and someone even wanted to buy Helga, my Booth Hussy.

I sort of want to hold on to her until at least Halloween, but a sale's a sale, right?

Frequent readers of my blog will recognize that I've edited out the second part of this post, the "bad news" section, as well as any comments. I apologize if yours were the ones deleted, please read on for my mea culpa.

It's common knowledge that I have a blog in the town where I live, heck, it's even printed on the business cards in my booth!

I've had conscience pangs all day long that the rest of this post, while snarky and entertaining, wasn't very nice. And I want to play nice as the new kid in the sandbox.

'Nuff said.
