Oh how I love the number 5....have since I was a child. It always seems to be blended into the details of the good things in my life. Little things like the sweetheart of my life being born in the 5th month, he was also the 5th child. We met in the 5th month of 95 and were married in 95. I began this business in 2005. So, 5 has been a good number for me!
And, it certainly wasn't an accident that our 5th restoration, the little Canton cottage, was affectionately named 5th Place.
This month we have an important "5" to celebrate. The 5th anniversary for LaurieAnna’s Vintage Home is rapidly approaching!
I can still remember our first Canton show, back in 2005 with a single little booth in the Arbors. Back then it was just hubby and I, my how we've grown! We kept enlarging our location in the Arbors and are still there today! Then we added a second location in 2008....it's all just unfolded.
On another note of excitement - the hit counter on the blog has passed 200,000, and our follower count has passed 400!! I can hardly wrap my mind around that....and I sincerely thank you for following and reading!
There's so much to celebrate this month and so much for which to thank you! So, why don't we celebrate with another giveaway, no ….let’s make it 5 giveaways! One giveaway for every year LaurieAnna's Vintage Home has been open!
I will feature the 5 giveaways over the next few weeks to thank you for supporting us!
So let's get to it! For the 1st giveaway I can't help myself....I love this new arrival! It's a tabletop dressfrom with a wood base and a canvas body with a Paris stamp. I love it!
To get a chance to win, be a follower of the blog and leave a comment. That gets you one entry...if you post the button below on your blog and link back to this post you get two more entries for a total of 3 chances to win!
I will announce the winner for this giveaway on Monday, April 5th, and announce the 2nd Giveaway at that time!! Thanks for always supporing us!
