Isn’t it darling?

The same giveaway rules, as always — US shipping addresses ONLY, and every comment on A Lovely Thing as well as pingback to A Lovely Thing during the month of July 2009 counts as an entry.

Good luck!  Retweets appreciated … um, but they don’t count as entries, because I’d have no clue how to count those!

    Hey that is cute, but I would rather hang it on a wall. I would just spill something on it if I had it on a table. :)
