A Giveaway in The Mail

Look what came in the mail! A beautiful tassel, some Mary Engelbreit (my favorite) notecards and dimensional stickers, a pumpkin scented candle and Hallowe'en tissues. Achoo! I was just expecting the tassel but all the other goodies were tucked inside the package too!

Don't you just love to win a giveaway? I've only won a couple and it's been a long time since the last one, so when I heard from Martha from Mid Atlantic Martha, that I had won, I was thrilled. I know you'd enjoy visiting Martha. She has a great blog and would make you feel very welcome.

Yesterday my sister and I were sitting in the dining room and she said, "The mailman's here and he's coming to the front door." The only time he does that is to bring a package, so I ran to the front door expectantly, hoping it was Martha's give away and it was!

A beautiful tassel. Where shall I hang it?

On the doorknob in the front hall, so everyone can see it when they come in the front door?

On a nail in my red kitchen china hutch?

Or on the doorknob in the dining room?

I just can't decide. I think it looks good everywhere! What do you think?

  1. Congratulations Rhondi on your win.
    The tassle is lovely (as are the other cute things). I think it would look great on the door handle of your diningroom (as it may get too worn on your front door...otherwise it would be nice there as well).
    By the way...I too love blue and white...and I love the way it looks on your red cabinet...nice idea.
    Have a beautiful weekend.

  2. Rhondi, it looks great on your 'hutch' (I still cant get used to that term!!).
    I'm putting a photo of rock buns on my blog for you.

  8. Hi Rhondi, I just happened upon your blog and I love reading it! Your home looks beautiful and I would hang the tassle on the dining room hutch if I were you. I just had to tell you too, that You've Got Mail and Baby Boom are my two ALL TIME favorite movies! Congratulations on your win and enjoy the tassle, wherever it ends up. I want to say too, that I loved your post about the wooden cardinals and your story about the real cardinals. We DO have an amazing God, don't we?

    All the best,

    Ann

  17. Congratulations, you're a lucky lady.

    I love the tassel, and my vote is on the door knob in the front hall.

    I'm glad you had such a great visit with your sister. I know you will miss her.

  18. I can't really be trusted with these things- as you know- I'm not much of a homemaker; but.. I'd say the first doorknob.

    (But I want everyone to know I can clean! Boy, can I clean.)

  19. I think you need about 3 more tassles!

  22. I wandered over to your blog. Found you on the 2009 One World One Heart Giveaway site. After watching the movie Julie and Julia recently, I've decided to try and go through the ENTIRE OWOH list, from beginning to end, in 90 days and connect/reconnect with all the artists and blogs that truly inspire me! Your blog is amazing and really resonated with me!

    A bit about me. I'm a mystery writer, jewelry artist, and college professor. Yes, and a Gemini, if you couldn't tell! Here is my blog, where I blend my mystery writing and jewelry craft:
    www.thehousemysteries.type pad.com
    My first mystery Keeping House: A Madame President mystery just came out on Amazon.
    Take care and as Julia Child might say, "Bon Blogging!"

  29. Front Hall door knob...I love the yellow paint with it.

    I feel the same way when I discover a new author. Let me know if you have any luck finding many of Elizabeth Goudge books at the local library? Unfortunately my local ones only have 3 or 4 each :( She has authored over 30 books. They are now a bit hard to come by.

    Better yet I hope you win! Thanks for stopping by, and congrats on your tassel!

  30. Wherever you decide to hang it, I'll be anxious to see it.....SO pretty!!
    Congrats on your win - you deserve it most definitely.

    Looking forward to this time next week - I'll be almost on my way to see you Rhondi - what fun!

  31. Hi Rhondi, as always your home looks delicious! The tassel has found a perfect place to live amongst your blue and white. I think I like it best against a plain white background on the doorknob but to be honest it looks beautiful wherever you put it so I suggest moving it about whenever the moods takes you. Have a happy Halloween, love Eli.
