A Trip Back to Cottage Yellow + Cottage Charm Giveaway Update

Earlier in the month, Angela at Cottage Magpie challenged everyone to post their own "yellow" inspiration photos. I didn't get to join in at the time (and soon there will be a new color challenge, I believe) but how I do love yellow! Before owning our own home, we rented for a decade and couldn't paint, but I always said that when were finally able to get our own home, the living room would be yellow! And yellow it was - many shades of it until I found just the right color. A couple of years ago, I finally found what I was looking for...it was a shade called "Clarified Butter" by (at the time) American Tradition from Lowes. Since then, I've painted again to accommodate my changing taste and decor, but I still have a special love for that cheerful, happy color - yellow.

I've finally found the items that I want to include in my Cottage Charm giveaways and I'm so excited! I want to do two different giveaways: one for everyone but also one for those that also participate by having a Cottage Charm giveaway of their own. I need to take photos of everything and get them posted here soon (and then you can put your name "in the hat")...I've got a lot of things going on at school with my kidlets and we've spent a lot of our time running back and forth and haven't had much spare time! I'm soooo ready for summer break!

The official drawing day for everyone that participates will be on May 31st, so you all still have time to do a giveaway if you like. We've had two bloggers to already sign up and several more that have expressed interest and are gathering their items. The more the merrier! Click here for further details:)
