My First Give-away!

 Sall's Country Life

will celebrate two years on Blogger

this March!

Not a huge accomplishment to some,

but a small milestone to me!

I've enjoyed this blog so much...

it has put me in touch with so many wonderful folks.

The love and support we receive

comes in different ways:

from the comment box and the Facebook forum,

to the holler from across main street

saying, "I love your blog!" 

I am overwhelmed by the number

of visits to this lowly little blog

(one of a million blogs out there)

Your visits and your comments mean the world to us!

(Although, I do all the posts, I think 

that Sall enjoys reading the feedback more than I do!)

So, Thank You!

Friend, Follower, Commenter,

Anonymous Peeker, 

 Prairie Companion, Country Seeker,

Farmer, Townie, 

and

Camera Keeper...

 YOU

 make the journey worth it 

and we will continue blogging about

our wonderful Country Life!

With that said...

Let's get on with the 

CELEBRATION

GIVE-A-WAY!

Remember the cute chicken purse

my sister made?

(I first mentioned it here)

My creative mother has donated

a piece of her handiwork....

(aren't Mom's great?)

A tea towel with bird and birdhouse

perfectly hand stitched!

 (we love our birds)

If that's not enough cuteness,

I'm adding...

a ceramic pheasant coffee mug

(just a little souvenir from South Dakota)

and

a bar of very special homemade soap

(my friend Jeanie makes it!)

But, Wait!

There's MORE!

When I was in the Black Hills,

I found these beautiful note-cards by a South Dakota Artist....

I immediately embraced the woman in the picture as myself

picking flowers on the prairie!

I got home and looked up the artist's website 

and fell in love with her

and her paintings! 

 Her story makes me proud to be a fellow Dakotan.

I hope you will visit her website too!

www.jaimekreager.com 

This is what she says about the painting above:

Capturing the season on the prairie between summer and autumn 

where the air is warm with cool undertones 

and the shadows are long. 

Take in the calming breeze, the earthy grasses,

 and feel the sun on your face and arms.

Exactly what I love 

about living in the country

in the middle of nowhere

on the prairie of South Dakota!

So, there it is... the whole package...
