In an effort to organize and simplify my life, I've decided that stuff has to go. So in honor of my 300th post (this one) here at Blackberry Creek, I'm announcing a week-long blog giveaway.
These cross-stitched vintage kitchen towels are the first to go. I bought them years ago, thinking I would use them to make a wall hanging for the kitchen. Never happened. I can't even remember now where I got them; visions of flea market booths come to mind, but the visions are vague. Of course, I could keep them for that mythical "someday" when I'll get around to creating something with them. But I think I'd rather find them a new home with someone who will use them and love them--hang them in her kitchen, make a baby quilt with them, use them for fabric art, or whatever her heart tells her to do.
So if these little busy bears appeal to you, leave a comment for this post and your name will be in the drawing for them. And every day, for the next six days, I'll post another prize, which you can also sign up to win. And on October 3, I'll draw for all seven prizes and announce the winners. Entrants from continental U.S. only please.
So I plan to give away seven things. Do you think that will make a dent in the accumulated stuff of decades. Probably not, but it should be a lot of fun.

Oh, sounds like a great deal of fun! And I would love to have these towels. I'd use them just as they are - for towels in my kitchen. I made so many cross stitch towels as a child - now as an adult I'm making them again and loving every moment of using them.

Hi Susan ~ Love your new autumn colors on the blog! I'll be commenting for all 7 days... I'm sure anything from your stash is a treasure to win! Count me in. :)
(We're approaching our 1000th post shortly. I'm thinking now what we can give away.)

What beautiful towels and a lovely idea.
My husband and I are fighting infertility, and as we believe God for a miracle in our life, we've decided to start making a nursery in the spare room--our faith statement that a child WILL come into our lives, by the grace of God.
So I've begun collecting bits and things that will make up this room. Baby elephant wall stickers, a blanket, a onesie on a hanger...
If you pick me to get your lovely towels, I will stitch them together for a wall hanging for that room.
Blessings,
Amanda
