A Very Modest Cottage: Giveaway Ends Tomorrow!
Have you entered to win a copy of A Very Modest Cottage? Scoot down a few posts to read all about this beautiful and inspiring book written by Tereasa Surratt. Or, just click here. It’s a fun book! To keep things legal, I have to state that, while the book was given to me, my opinion is entirely my own. I was not paid to write a good review. That will be obvious to the lucky winner!
To enter, leave a comment in this post or the previous one. I’d love to hear everyone’s favorite summer memory, but that’s not required. The contest ends tomorrow (Thursday) at 12:00 EST. I’ll draw a winner at random and post the name of the lucky winner at the end of the day.
Giveaway: A Very Modest Cottage
“From the day we decided to move and restore the cabin to the night that we pounded the last nail was only three short months. We could not have guessed how many stories the little cabin would reveal to us over time.” So beings the story of A Very Modest Cottage, a quaint, beautifully photographed book by Tereasa Surratt.

Friday Favorite: Antique Phones from Sweet Bella

A few weeks ago I wrote about these really cool phones collected and updated by Sweet Bella.¬† The company shut down for a few weeks last summer, so details were not forthcoming. However, I now have all the news that’s fit to print.
These phones can be used in the US. There’s an adapter plug that comes with them so they’ll work in the US. The suggested retail price is $210. They’re carried at Cursive, which has several shops in New York. However, they’re not on their website, so call for details. Their phone number is 718-237-4421.
I want the orange one. Which one do you want?
