<p>
A little coin purse and key ring in black leather!</p>
<p>
And&#8230; if we get over 200 comments, I&#8217;ll give away a BIG purse :)  So, tell your friends!</p>
<p>
I&#8217;ll pick a winner on Wednesday, May 9th.  I&#8217;ll stop accepting comments at Midnight, Tuesday May 8th :)   One entry per person, please.</p>
<p>
You can see some of my big &#8220;Frighton&#8221; purses in my <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Violet-Cottage_Handbags-Purses_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ8QQftidZ1QQtZkm" target="_blank">ebay store</a>.  I&#8217;ll be adding the evening clutches and purses (sparkly and dainty!) and other purses on there later on.  I&#8217;ve also got some collectibles from Katherine&#8217;s Collection that I&#8217;ll be adding later, too.  Oh, and I started the bidding on the Robeez at 99 cents and 1.99&#8230; so if you need a pair, check it out :)</p>
<p>
Have a wonderful weekend!!!!!</p>

and<br />

<p>
Yay for you guys!! :)</p>
<p>
I&#8217;ve decided to give away two of the nest boxes to make it easy ;)  Keep checking back, I&#8217;ll be doing this semi-often! :)</p>
<p>
Thanks again to everyone for entering! yay!</p>
<p>
I used Nathan&#8217;s new <a href="http://www.violetsareblue.net/random/" target="_blank">Random Number Generator</a>, which makes picking numbers a breeze, thus having giveaways just that much easier!  Thank you Nathan!! :)</p>
<p>
Lastly, but not leastly, Joe made me an awesome CD with mostly Doris Day songs&#8230; this will hopefully get me in the mood to start my Doris Day display.  I looked for a poofy awesome 50&#8242;s party dress for the window and found <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&#038;item=280105255286&#038;sspagename=ADME:L:RTQ:US:1" target="_blank">this gem</a> on ebay.  I emailed the owner of the dress to ask if she had any others that weren&#8217;t in perfect condition since it would be a display and she said I could <em>have</em> the dress if I put her business cards out!  I&#8217;m jumping the gun here because I just now emailed her back, but I thought that was sweet :)  I&#8217;ll post pictures of the start of the display later&#8230; right now it looks like a mish mash, but in a week&#8230; *magic*!</p>
<p>
Anywho, congrats to the winners!!!</p>

<p>
I will be notifying each of you to let you know what you won :)  After I picked the names, I drew little numbers one thru twelve and assigned each name with an item :)  So, I&#8217;ll let you know what you won via email :)</p>
<p>
The strips of paper took OVER an hour to cut out.  I&#8217;m really thinking I should hold onto them and use them in another drawing, just because it seems like a shame to throw them all away ;)  So stay tuned, you may win something soon!</p>
<p>
Congrats to all the winners and please check back for more giveaways, I really had fun with this! yay!</p>
