O.K. well, I am coming close to my 200th post on My Farmhouse Kitchen and thought it would be time to do a Giveaway...I thought about what it should be. Hmmmmm
And then it hit me..A Sprigware Teacup. Cause it's what Farmhouse is all about. Friends...stopping by to visit and have a cup of tea and a warm cookie just out of the oven.
I have collected Sprigware for a very long time and I just love it.They are pieces of porcelain that are very old...most of what I have came from my cruising ebay...and it seemed that time and time again..when I would get a piece..it usually came from somewhere up in New England...
So my dear sweet ones, please leave a comment and I'll add your name to the bucket for the draw which I will do next week....and as I reach my 200th post it makes me reflect on what this blog world has done for my life.It has enriched it in ways I never could have imagined. When I started back in July of 2009, I had bought a camera and I didn't even know where you turned it on. Jeff ... Sharon's husband taught me how. Thanks Jeff ! Little did I know then..that by turning on the button to a camera..I would also be turning on a light in my life. And that light in my life is all of you. I cherish all of your friendships...and I have been lucky enough to make some very, very dear friends...you mean the world to me and I love you all...

I would love to win a teacup and, if I do, hold it for me to sip a cup of tea with you when I am in SLO.
ReplyDeleteI love the new picture at the top of your blog, as it reminds me that spring is really on the way.
ReplyDeleteI love the handle on this teacup, its very unique! I love teacups, I have a wonderful collection of them from my Man's grandmother and some from my friend, Perry's grandmother... I feel very lucky that they thought I should have them!
ReplyDeleteoh, am i first? *smile* so glad we found each other in bloggy world.
ReplyDeleteooooohhhhhhh!!! Kary, I LOVE it! Happy 200th post! How exciting:). I must say, you've come a VERY long way from not even knowing where the button on a camera is:). But that was a funny image:)I feel very luck to have met you as well!!

What a lovely idea for a giveaway - please enter me in the drawing! And, I, too have enjoyed getting to "know" you via the world of blogging. It is, in a way, like sitting down for tea and a quick check-in with a friend. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous teacup! I would love to be included in the drawing.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have found you, new friend! :)
Don't know what I would do without you. I've come to count on you and miss you when you are not around. Thanks for your friendship.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful teacup. The pattern reminds me of a collection that my mother had...I would love to be in the drawing. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear new friend! I've enjoyed your visits with me and I enjoy visiting you here in your Farmhouse! It's always pleasant!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tea cup....and who doesn't love one?
Me, me pick me!! :o) LOL
What a lovely post and giveaway, I wish I could visit your dear farmhouse and enjoy a cup ot tea with you. I have never noticed Sprigware before, but will keep my eye on the look out for you. That's what blog friends do!
ReplyDeleteI love you back, Kary! Congrats on 200 posts! The time flies by, doesn't it? Thanks Sharon's husband for teaching Kary about blogging!xxoo Nancy
ReplyDeletePlease count me in. When I started my blog in September 2009, I didn't know how to cut and paste, download a picture or capitalize. Now my world is bigger, my skills are greater and I do love checking in with cyberspace friends daily. Thank you for including me in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute teacup! What a great giveaway! Please add me to the hat! :-)

Oh, yes, count me in! I am such a tea drinker and love all kinds of cups! And this one is just gorgeous!! (Will it come with cookies fresh from the oven?!) I feel the same way about blogging and dear friends like you!! So glad we met!!
ReplyDeleteAs I am writing this, the bean soup from one of your previous posts is in the slow cooker and a loaf of rye bread in the oven. It smells so good! I had a half bunch of kale leftover, so I just added that to the soup as well. Can't wait to taste it all!!
Love, Silke
Thank GOODNESS you are here in blogland, Kary. I am so glad we've met. I cherish our friendship and know it will just keep growing from here.
ReplyDeleteToday I was looking back at some of my old posts and read your first few comments, and I smiled...it was 'love at first sight' with us! :)
Congratulations on your wonderful blog, which brings joy and yummyness to so many people.
And gosh, do I love that red and white quilt hanging on your wall...I always notice it and hope to have my own someday.
XOXO love you!
What a lovely teacup. I love pottery and china, but I'm not familiar with sprigware. What a pretty pattern. I'd love to be entered in your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad we've become friends.

You are so sweet for putting a favorite tea cup as the prize in your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love "stopping by" your Farmhouse every day. I always feel as welcome as an old friend when I visit. I enjoy having you stop by my blog, as well.
Thanks for the info. on the cast iron pans. I think you may have convinced me to try using mine. I know I have to season my new pan, but do I have to reseason my old ones? They belonged to my grandma and look well used.
Happy 200th post, please count me into the draw! I can't believe you only started using your camera since July 09.
ReplyDeleteWonderful - 200 posts and a cup of tea to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comment and so nice of you to come by and visit me. Happy February.

It's GORgeous, Kary! Please put me in the bucket. I'm a-feelin' lucky!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for your 200th post. Your blog is like going to a friends' house, as she takes out brownies out of the oven. I'm glad we've gotten to know each other.
ReplyDeleteTea is my favorite hot beverage, and your tea cup is divine!
So many precious friends we meet here in blogland and you already live in my heart :)
ReplyDeleteSo lovely teacup !!!
But the best prize is this wonderful friendship feeling we share everyday by visiting each other ... it's like we were neighbors and the most amazing thing is that we all are spread around this huge world !!
Blogland makes everything so easy, it brings close to us people who we learn to love and respect through their thoughts shared in the posts :)
I'm soooo glad that we make part of each other journey !
Kisses in your heart, dear friend and keep sharing your love :)

ReplyDeleteGreetings to you,
ReplyDeleteThis is my first visit to your blog after seeing a small image of your beautiful tea cup on another blog. I clicked on it because I am in the process of developing a tea blog 'A tea for Sunday' via blogspot and have been collecting links.
I feel a little awkward entering your drawing as this is my first visit, but I like the tea cup.
Your masthead is marvelous as is the flow of your blog. There is much interest for a visitor, as well as a rich sidebar.
Warmest regards,
Egmont
I love sprigware, too, and it's the perfect thing for a giveaway on your beautiful blog. Congratulations on 200 posts! xoxo
