{A GATHERING PLACE - VINTAGE TRAINCASE GIVEAWAY!}

On August 14, I did post this: LOOK My Vintage Train Case Arrived!
You can click on the above link but I will citate part of what I wrote then:
Oh, I have to share this with all of you! On December 5th of 2010 I received my very first comment from Rebecca who writes the fabulous blog 'A Gathering Place'. Next day I stumbled upon Rebecca's Vintage Train Case at Mari's blog: MY BEAUTIFUL ANNIVERSARY GIFT and fell in love... Rebecca did point me to her older blog post about VINTAGE TRAIN CASE - Transformed Into a Work of Art, see: VINTAGE TRAIN CASE Transformed Into a Work of Art. It took her quite a while for finding such a vintage train case again and in June she started with the makeover of it. Due to the hot and humid weather in her area, the paint took a long time to dry. But finally on Thursday it arrived! Now have a look yourself and tell me if you would not fall in love with it too?
If you have not followed her yet, you've missed out on quite a lot. Following her now is a good reason in order to win this Vintage Train Case from her. I can tell you, that's a TREASURE! Click on: A ROMANTIC COTTAGE GIVEAWAY Vintage Train Case For Free for going to her blog so you can enter in this most FABULOUS GIVEAWAY.

    BONJOUR! HALLO!

    Thank you so much for coming over; and this vintage piece is so beautiful! I am sorry that you were unable to hear the special music I have on the Youtube....it works on my end, and the song really sets the tone of my heart for this particular person I wrote it for. I so hope that others are able to hear it.

    HAVE A GLORIOUS DAY! Anita

  7. Hi Mariette, so nice to see you the other day in your rose twinset with chocolates from Ria in your beautiful backyard. So nice to enjoy beautiful weather. We have a bit of haze and dust today, first in a while. Rebecca's refurbished train cases are so very beautiful. Hope you are having a great day. Tammy
