Hello!
When I first started blogging, I had no idea what to expect...
I actually didn't have any expectations because I didn't know what blogging was, I thought only people like Martha Stewart had a blog. I had no idea that it was this amazing community of women who love to support and encourage one another....
I was so nervous when I got my first 100 followers....
I actually had an anxiety attack....
I thought to myself what in the world will I share with them...
I honestly just started a blog to share with others that you don't have to live in a mansion or own your home to create a home you love, and you can live with white even if you have a large family and live on a ranch with kids that love to swim in the muddy ponds : ) You don't have to live in an old french farmhouse in the south of France to live in a home that has a french farmhouse feel, we live in a newly built modular home (we do not own this home, although I wish we did : ) and have tried to add a little french farmhouse charm throughout the years....
Shortly after I started blogging
I decided to open a shop because readers were asking where I got some of the items in my home....
It took me a year to get my online shop opened...
I am still working on trying to achieve that vision that I have in my head.... Not sure if it will ever happen...
My shop has now been open for a little over a year and a half.....
I can't thank all of you enough for all of the support you have given me these past couple of years....
Your support and encouragement came at a time when I needed it most...
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Today I wanted to giveaway three prizes to show how much I appreciate all the support and encouragement you guys have given me...
There will be three winners drawn...
Prize 1~ $300.00 gift card to my shop
Prize 2~A chic french linen tote filled with a few items from my favorite bakery and a Raw Materials Design French Waiter Apron
Prize 3~a dozen 6"x6" lavender pillows
Giveaway details will be at the bottom of the post....
First I just wanted to share a few images of new products in the shop....
I listed these items in my shop over a month ago, so some of the items are already sold, but I thought I would share the images anyway....
I had shot these images towards the beginning of July and already shared some of these images on facebook so sorry for the repeat images....
(It actually ended up being an expensive day....
Adele ended up with two foxtails in both of her ears : (...
So we had to make a quick trip to the vet....)
I found these vintage french tolix chairs at the Chateau Sonoma Flea Market and am so excited to be able to offer them in my shop....
I wanted to create a scene for the shoot that still had a farmhouse feel mixed with a little industrial.
I wish I had gotten a little more creative with the table setting, I kind of did the same as I always do...
I loaded the french carrier with European milk bottles, my hydrangeas, and some French lemonade from Safeway...
A few more images of french farmhouse items you will find in my shop....
vintage french tolix chairs
I love this little basket, I think it would make an adorable flower girl basket for a wedding...
Giveaway Details.....
Winner # 1 will receive a 300.00 gift card to my shop......
Winner # 2 will receive a french linen market tote filled with a Raw Materials Design apron and a few finds from my favorite Bakery, Andrae's Bakery........
I think everyone should get to experience shopping at Andrae's so I wanted to giveaway a couple of my favorite items from Andrae's Bakery....
Sonoma Sea Salt from Andrae's Bakery
I had posted here about how I love using sea salt when baking....
Winner #3 will receive a dozen 6"x6" lavender pillows made from a variety of red striped grain sacks and french linen.
Giveaway Rules!
Giveaway is open to my international readers as well : )
First winner drawn by random number will win a
Second winner drawn by random number will win
a chic french linen tote filled with a few items from my favorite bakery and a Raw Materials Design French Waiter Apron

Take Care,
Maria

What an amazing giveaway! If I won I'd love the market tote and some Christmas stockings!
One of the many items I love in your site is the Antique French Linen and 19th Century French Toile Christmas Stockings
I would be so grateful to have my name entered in the drawing, If I won the gift card it would be spent by browsing hours in your shop with a very hard choice, you have so many treasures for sale =) Thank you for such an awesome chance! Good luck to everyone! Xo, Ashley 1942charm.blogspot.com

I would love a vintage fruit crate! I think they are beautiful!
Oh goodness. That is hard. I love the milk bottle,the clocks, and the Dutch table.
If I won I can honestly say my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law plus my mom would all receive antique french linens for Christmas. Even if I don't I am saving up my pennies as there are a few things that I know they would absolutely love!! (not to mention I would mind myself either..)
AGH! Ok, if I win $300, here's what I'd do...
Probably buy one of the same market totes you're giving away...
Probably buy 2-4 au lait bowls...
Probably try to get a chalkboard...
The beekeeper tray caught my eye...
Maybe I'd go for the ironstone milk pitcher...
Or maybe I'd just buy that Dutch table. Yeah. That would be good too.
Wow, what an incredible giveaway! If I were to win the giftcard I would definitely buy some Christmas things. We just moved cross country so I wasn't able to bring most of my decorations. !
I just pinned it to my Pinterest:)
Thanks for the generous give away. I love the zinc pitcher and the lavender pillows. Love the blog!
Oops, forgot the Pinterest link...sorry

I would use the gift certificate for some vintage French goodies and lots of lavender.
I'd love to win! So many good things to choose from I your shop...maybe the beehive.
What a great giveaway! We're moving into a new house, so I would definitely grab some new linens, pillows, lavender, apron...the possibilites are so endless!
Please enter me in your draw. Your website is amazing! How to decide what I'd want...anything made from zinc, have to have lavender pillows, love the laundry set, mason jars, bottle holder, Christmas stockings, oh my I could go on and on. Your website is liking opening the best Christmas present!
If I won the gift card, I'd use the $300 to buy goodies to make my tiny studio apartment feel more homey and less like 300 square feet!

Hi Maria,
I have shopped in your "French Farmhouse living shop" and purchased a white enamelware pitcher that was filled with fresh sweet smelling lavender! So I know how wonderful and lovely your wares are. I was browsing the shop and fell in love with the french apple basket, if I was the lucky one to win the gift cert, I would be buying the apple basket. Your gifts are so sweet and very thoughtful. I always enjoy my visits with you.
Have a sweet day, Elizabeth
would love all and any of it but particularly the milk bottles, pitchers and the crates...i could use those in so many ways :)
What a generouse give away. If i were lucky enough to win I would purchse all things french farmhouse for my kitchen. A remodel is in the near future and it would go perfectly for what I have in mind.. will post on facebook as well...keeping my fingers crossed..Kathy H.
The large vintage french apple basket makes me drool on my keyboard a bit.
You have a lovely blog, and lovely home! I'm so glad you share it in your internet house!
you might not have known what you were getting into by blogging....but so many of us are thrilled you made the jump!
maria, your images are like none other.
i could absolutely look at them all the day long.
i can't even think what i'd do with $300 from your shop!! oh my ....lavender? linens? a bag maybe???
oh my!
no, i'd use it for a down payment so i could adopt one of rambo's puppies...if ever ;)
xo
I've had my eye on the antique lavender bottles and the milk bottle caddy from Holland. I would love to fill the milk jars with flowers from our yard, and use it as a centerpiece on our farmhouse table! And the lavender bottles would look perfect on my fireplace mantel!
You have an amazing blog- it is always a treat to stop by!
Ooh La La, I would spend on the green bistro chairs, all of it.
Or...the enamal French coffee pot and linens, sachets...now I cannot decide. French dreaming again.
I will be adding this to my sidebar on my blog.
Merci for the chance!
are you kidding? And, just so you know, I could look at the same pictures over and over and over and over and over and over and over again! :) Um, what wouldn't I buy from your shop? Do you need me to be more specific? Love ya!
Thank you for such a generous giveaway! I love vintage baskets and linens!
are you serious? wow ...what a generous giveaway!!!!
and I am in LOVE with those sweet green bistro chairs!!!!
and I would love, 2nd or third pick too!! thanks so much!
Oh my. I agree with the comment-what wouldn't I buy! All of it is lovely.. but bistro chairs always catch my eye.
And I love your view on that you can make a simple house look amazing with details.
Blessings, barbara
Well, I know for sure I would want that vintage fruit crate but aside from that the possibilities just make me too giddy to decide.
Maria, your pictures are more gorgeous every post! I drool over each new post! It would be hard to decide on what to spend a gift card - either grain sack linens, baskets, or even that lovely french table. Thanks so much for the wonderful giveaway!
Jill Palumbo
If I won, I would definitely buy those aprons, which I adore and the french bowling pins ~ they are fantastic ! Thank you so much for a wonderful giveaway. I hope you have many more years of blogging ahead as I love to come and visit~!
If I was one of the lucky winners I would have to shop in your antiques section. So many incredibly wonderful items that would truly light up my life and home.
Thank you so much for your generous heart!
This is a amazing give-away !!! Choosing ?? Thats a hard one ?? I love your blog. Have a beautiful and creative day...Chickie
If I won I might choose the french beehive! But I'm sure would change my mind since everyhing is so beatiful...
Thank you so much for a chance to win such a lovely prize!
You know how much I love your shop, Maria! :) If I won, I would get a pair of vintage french green bistro chairs, so I can enjoy NYC view with my hubby or children from my balcony. It would be awesome having this moment from our hectic day!!!

What a generous giveaway Maria! You can't imagine the wonderful influence your style has had over so many of us. You portray French Farmhouse to perfection, and remind us we can have it anywhere. I've followed you since the beginning and am always so impressed by your vision and style.
Gosh, I wouldn't know where to begin if I won a GC to your store. Guess I'm a bit fond of linens and I love those baskets!
Thanks so much for this chance & for all your inspiration.
Susan - EvelynandRose@hotmail.com
Wow! So generous! If I were to win the gift card, I would spend all of it on myself! I am a renter again and I love nothing more than to really transform my house into my home. I love it when my cousin (who we rent from) comes over and tells me how much cuter the house is the way I have it decorated. Your wonderful items would help make it even better and even more mine!! Fingers crossed!!
~Trisha
What an amazing giveaway! It is hard to choose but I would have to pick your french market tote.

I would love the Vintage Zinc Pitcher, the bowling pins and those beautiful red striped stockings. I love the beautiful things you have and have always enjoyed your blog.
You had me at French Grainsack. I would buy any of the items made from vintage grainsacks, like your beautiful lavender pillows, or pillow covers, to your aprons. I am also in need of a couple Bistro chairs for my large family- i am especially enamored of the yellow ones. And lastly I would love some bakers twine, or that cute Milk Bottle Caddy from Holland! You have exquisite taste. Thank you

Such beautiful images and items! Thank you for sharing the inspiration!! Wow, I would be thrilled with any of the winnings! The treasures from the gift card would go to decorate my home, evoking the sense of peace I'd like to instill more of. The bag and goodies - those would all be snatched up on a picnic before these few sunny days left in Seattle disappear! And my birthday is next month and I'm celebrating with a few of my best friends, so I'd put one in each of the goodie bags (and save a couple for my own drawers)!
I would purchase the bowling pins and perhaps the French apple basket. What a wonderful giveaway. Thanks for the chance, keeping my fingers crossed.
What an amazing and most generous giveaway! Everything in your shop is just lovely, but it would be nice to use it on the french apple basket, vintage fruit crate, and of course some lavender pillows/sachets! Thank you kindly for the opportunity to win!

Oh my dear Maria....you have come so far, and are so deserving of all the praise! You are naturally amazing :) I have enjoyed following you along your journey....
$300 in your lovely shoppe?! I dont even think it could come close to covering all of the gorgeous things I want! I really have been coveting the grainsack pillows....and I think I need more of the mini stockings since the holidays will be here soon! I gave one to each family last Christmas and now I only have 4 left! Hugs girlie XOX
Hmmm, aprons, that fruit crate, the enamelware coffee pot ... how would I really pick?!
I love that your lovely home is not owned by you. Really, all those things you said are so inspirational (including white on a ranch with kids).
:D
I was going to name a few things that I wanted. I looked at the shop and decided there is no way I could decide right now. If I won, I would look and look and look. I would write a list, I would add to it, I would cross things off, and after looking again, I'd add them back on. I would savor the search. I would love every minute of it! Thanks for the chance to win. Your blog is beautiful.
Oh gosh you have so many cute things over there in that little shop of yours what wouldn't I want to spend the gift card on? I have been jonesin on the 2 teal painted chairs but the grain sacks have caught my eye too...just to many decisions.
I'm constantly hinting to hubs for the lavender laundry package. The rest of the gc would go for the lavender pillows, the european milk bottle, and the grain sack pillow slip. I love lavender and my wee one calls it her pixie dust
when it comes to anything in your shop I am not picky at all..everything is just beautiful!! I enjoyed reading your story how you started blogging..and look where you are today..great story. xo Laura
There are so many things to love in your shop. I would choose the
Large Vintage French Apple Basket if I were the lucky winner!

Christmas stuff, Christmas stuff, Christmas stuff or more specific, the stockings and a few of the beautiful, amazing wreaths. I love the mini stockings and would get rid of my old stockings and replace them with your Antique French White Linen Christmas Stockings and of course, that would lead me to tossing all of my old Christmas stuff out and replace it,so I could have the French Farmhouse Christmas feel.
I am also posting on my blog sidebar.

Oh my goodness, what a generous giveaway! I absolutely love the peaceful, relaxing feel your blog radiates. I love just about everything in your shop so that is a hard question to answer, probably the baskets or bottle carrier or linens or........... :-)
I would buy almost anything in your shop if i were to win - EXCEPT the lavender bags! Oh, please don't let me wint hose! I'm so allergic to lavender!! I would probably get some kind of linens - i have a weakness for all of that red and white vintage grain sack material.

I would get something with lavendar. I love lavendar. I would have to browse through the linen section-love the waiter apron-and through the antiques too! I don't think it would be hard to spend.
Pure loveliness!
Thank you for the opportunity to enter your generous giveaway!!
Your shop contains so many lovely things...I'd start with the Dutch skates and a toile Christmas stocking....oh the fun!!!!!

It's hard to choose from all the beautiful things in yout shop, even with 300.00$, but I think I would take the "Enamelware Milk Bucket", and the "Zinc Pitcher". From the rest a looot of lavendel.
Oh, how fun! I would use it to purchase all those items on my wish list from your shop! ;)
SO hard to choose! I really like the glassware, the linens, and the lavendar!
I would be so flattered to win this competition of items. Each item being given away would have a unique value and meaning to my interior design I am trying to provide for my wife.
I would love to be able to give her such a beautiful apron as well as such an incredible amount to be used in your shop. Not only this, but I think I could truly benefit by seeing how lovely she looked in said apron and putting great use to the items being offered! Thank you for such a lovely curated list of items. We would truly treasure them.
Wow! Great giveaway! I would certainly use it towards the bistro chairs! Love them.
Hi Maria, I'm so glad you started a blog, yours was me of the very first blogs I ever looked at before I even knew what blogging really was. I love your little modular house- who would ever think it wasn't a cottage in the south of France!! Love it!
If I win I'd love something made from grain sacks. Actually there is so much to choose from your beautiful shop.
Cheers Fiona
I just would like one of everything in your lovely shop.
Cheers, and thanks for the continued inspiration
Oh my, what to pick? I really would have a difficult but fun time picking from your shop. I imagine things go quickly so I would have to move fast for sure. I love the textiles and with the holidays coming up, I would love to look into the Christmas items. Your blog is lovely and thank you for sharing all of your beautiful work.
oh my lord, those french bowling pins! i would line them up on top of my huge white hutch... or perhaps clump them together on the floor next to it. i just love them!

Thank you for the great give-away! Congrats on your blog/shop! I have no doubt I could easily choose all your vintage farmhouse items...I am smitten with all things French! (so bad about the foxtail seeds!?)
I would love the table runner,baskets,lavendar sachets,french bottles...love your taste and wares.
At the beginning of your current post I wanted to say how beautiful the photos are and, like a framed photo in our homes, love seeing again and again. I can't tell you how much I LOVE when there is a post of yours in my mailbox. It is always an escape for me before I breeze off to my store in the northeast. I will mention your giveaway on my blog and thought of it even before I finished your post! Anything would be lovely, you have such a talent for photography and writing and shopping!

French bistro chairs? Why those would look perfect in the Rocky Mountains! A girl can dream, right?
So funny, I was just looking at your French bottles yesterday because of a picture on someone else's blog. I would surely take my time picking out something special! (like the turquoise bistro chairs!)

What a lovely post and giveaway, I never get tired of looking through your wonderful photos! After a nice long browse I think a pair of bistro chairs would be my first choice if I were lucky enough to win. That could change at any moment since I love everything in your shop!

I love the french farm look and I would use any of the gifts for creating that feel in my house. I love anything that has that romantic feel and gives that cozy wrap your arms around me hug feeling. I would love to win!
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. If I won the $300 gift card, I would buy some French linens or possibly the industrial chairs if still available. Thanks...Angie arice4272@gmail.com.

I would choose linens, you have so many lovely items from which to choose, especially the table runners!
Thanks!
I have always dreamed of having a vintage tolix chair. That would have to be my first purchase! Thank you for such a great give away! I will have to post about it.

What a generous giveaway Maria! I have been a reader from the beginning. I probably found you through Lori. The White Flower Farmhouse is one of my favorite stops when I head out to the East End of LI. Her shop is about 1 hour from me. Love it! If I won a gc to your shop I would probably go for something French. We visited France in April and I'm sorry I didn't bring something home from the Paris Flea. I love the enamel pitchers, french mason jars, ironstone or the latte bowls, everything actually! Thank you!

It's hard to pick but the French Beehive is very cool.
I am opening a small guest house, "La Belle Allee". A gift card for your shop would enable me to bring your exquisite taste to my cottage. What a dreamy thought!
I love your blog and your shop. Thank you for a chance to participate.

Where do I start? Anything from linens to chairs - I love it all!
I LOVE, LOVE LOVE the French pitcher!!!! Next I love the apple basket, the zinc watering can and the linens!!!
Hi Maria,
I am so happy that Canada is included in this give away. Thank you. I would use the 300 on the large apple basket or the mustard jar and grain sack pillows or apron. Its really hard to choose. Love everything.
Maria, you are so so sweet to offer these wonderful give always! I can't believe we have never met, I live in Turlock, so we really aren't that far away from each other! We have a few cute little shops here downtown that you would probably love. I would have a hard time deciding what to buy from your shop, everything is so gorgeous, but my weakness is linens, so I would probably start there. Thanks again Maria!

I have shared this on FB! I am trying to get an online business going as well, but mine will be on Etsy...I know what you mean by it took you a year! LOL
Marcia
Tweeted your fabulous give away! Anyways, It has taken me well over a year to even decide what to sell! I can see why it takes so long, everything you offer however is truly "Dreamy".

Hi Maria, What a wonderful giveaway. I think I would love to have a zinc pitcher to display my hydrangeas in, and the grain sack stockings too. Congrats again on all of your successes, so happy for you : ) Take Care, Carrie { the vintage wren }
