Guess What I Won?!!

{Our 2009 Family Easter Picture.
Taken at my parents' new home in Florida, where we were on vacation this past week!
We had a great time with my sister's family, my parents, and grandmother too!!}


I WON I WON I WON!!!

Guess what was waiting for me when I arrived back home from our Easter vacation?!!

This fabulous giveaway prize from the darling Ms. Rhoda at Southern Hospitality,
and Karl at Hudson Goods!!!

A Large Oval Recycled Glass Bottle!!!

I was SO EXCITED when I found out that I won, that I just may have screamed and done a little happy dance! :) I wanted this bottle SO BADLY when I saw it on Rhoda's blog, and was even dreaming about it! LOL!! I still can't believe I won!

above 3 pics are from hudsongoods.com

I also received this sweet Rose Geranium Soap that Karl tucked into the package for me!!

Here's how I displayed the bottle in my own home:
I tucked a blooming branch from a dogwood tree in the woods inside, and
placed it on my "buffet" table in the breakfast nook!

I just love it!

(the light was gray outside, so it gave a very ethereal quality to the photos)

I think this bottle could work with a variety of decorating styles!

And I love that it's made from recycled glass, too!

This bottle is amazingly wonderful! You could honestly design a room around this baby!! I am planning to ask Hubby for the 2 companion bottles for my birthday next month (hint, hint...)! I know they'll look beautiful wherever I place them!

Go check out www.hudsongoods.com to see more of what Karl and his dog Buddy offer (a cool thing: no shipping charge, and no tax unless you live in NJ!)
and also check out his blog here!
(and I'm not being paid to tell you this, I just like to pass along a good thing!!)
:)

So, once again
A BIG THANK YOU
To Rhoda and Karl!!!



Tomorrow I'll continue the "Going from a House to a Home" series!
Have a wonderful afternoon!!
