Giveaway: A Beach Bag of Goodies!

What?  I’m doing a giveaway and it’s not FRIDAY?!?  Those last few rays of summer sunshine must have cooked my brain a bit, because I have an additional giveaway for you!  Frankly, I had a little too much fun shopping for ya’ll (see, I even have my southern accent back!) at the Outer Banks.   I hope you’ll enjoy these goodies as much as I did buying them!

And this one is SO EASY to enter.   First, here’s what you can win… just a few of my favorite beachy things, with a retail value of over $40:

A Beach Bag of Goodies!
PLUS a capiz shell windchime:

 A Closer Look:
Here’s what’s included:
  • a cool nautical rucksack bag– great for everything from beach stuff to groceries
  • ceramic cupcake FULL of birthday cake flavored cookies!
  • a box of salt water taffy from Scotch Bonnet
  • a starfish for decorating (see here and here for two ideas!)
  • 6 Hatteras lighthouse cards
  • a capiz shell windchime similar to the one in my guest room
  • a box of Southern Dumplings– yummy!
  • NOT PICTURED: two packets of chai tea mix from the Island Spice and Wine store (I love me some chai!)

How do you win?  As promised, it’s easy!


INITIAL ENTRY:  Tell me how you found my blog.  That’s it!  If you’ve been following for awhile and don’t remember, just tell me that.

Additional Entries: LEAVE A COMMENT FOR EACH SO THEY CAN BE COUNTED!

  • Enter another current giveaway on my blog (click here to get to it): TWO additional entries!
  • Become a subscriber or follower (or tell me if you already are one).  TWO additional entries!
  • In a sentence or two, tell me your favorite place to vacation OR a place you’ve always wanted to go (hello, Greece!)  ONE additional entry!
  • Blog or tweet it, and leave a link here.  THREE additional entries!

You know the rules: chosen by Random.org, must be a US resident, yada yada yada.  Contest ends on Sunday, September 27th at 11:59 PM.

See, I told you it was easy.  Easy, breezy, just like the beach.  I know the beginning of fall is a strange time to do a beach giveaway, but you can tuck it away until next year OR use the goodies to remember how it feels to have your toes in the sand!

Get commenting, before you realize that warm beach days will soon be just a memory for those of us living up north… and good luck!

  6. I am a pretty new follower, but I can’t remember how I found you. Sometimes I find blogs through other blogs and it goes on and on and I can’t remember where I started.

    My favorite vacation spot is Mexico! Love the ocean and scuba!

    I am having a giveaway, so if you haven’t, come over and sign up for mine too.

  8. I found you as we usually find each other: another blogger I was reading was your follower and so on. Thanks for choosing my country (Greece) as your favourite holiday destination. Mine would be England.
    I was so glad to read Noodle’s news -HUGE!!! My son was hospitalised for 18 days; on day 3 they told us :’he’s probably out of danger now’ PROBABLY?? I was a wreck as I hadn’t even known his life was threatened by a breathing inefficiency. Thank God, he came home healthy as anybody. …So glad for you!
    (I don’t know how many entries that counts for. Just wanted to talk to you)

  32. My favorite place in the world in Las Palmas, the largest canary island in Spain. Most of my family is from there so is a place I call home. By the way you won my giveaway. Please, email me with your address so I mail it to you.

    I have been to Mexico and Hawaii and the next place I want to go is Australia…although it’d be expensive I would love to see the kangaroos!

  134. Got a little “homesick” when you mentioned visiting the Outer Banks! My husband & I spent time there our 1st three summers together (before kids). . . Someday we will go back!!
    Right now, w an almost 3yo, a 15 mo-old and another due in March, we are not vacationing very much. LOL!
    I love Europe–esp England, and would love to go back with my hubby . . . someday!!!
