WW: Green Carnation at St. Patrick's Day Parade

Green Carnation Flower Photo

"St. Patrick's Day is an enchanted time - a day to begin transforming winter's dreams into summer's magic."
 - Adrienne Cook

During the 7th Annual Milton St. Patrick's Day parade last weekend, a local garden club member handed my friend's toddler a beautiful white and green carnation, which he promptly tore the stem off. At least I was able to take a pretty picture of the petals after he lost interest!

    It looks something like an Asian cabbage with the ruffly green petals. Guess the green didn't work to keep the carnation safe since the toddler "pinched" it from it's stem.

    Love the green. That does seem to be the toddler's credo...if you love it, see how indestructible it is. My niece, for example, has taken to ripping the pages out of her books. Though...I think that may have more to do with the fact that someone showed her a coloring book with removable pages...and now she seems to thing that is standard in every book.

    Looks almost more like lettuce than a carnation. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...

Handmade Giveaway: Scarf from Elizabeth Koh

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Susana Silva for submitting the randomly-chosen 392nd entry. Normal people go to the beach in the summer, but I prefer autumn when it's more peaceful. The weather may be chilly, but that's why scarves come in handy! Not to mention that they're also a fun fashion accessory. One winner will get to choose any scarf under $40 from Elizabeth Koh to heat up an outfit. Elizabeth Koh is not one person, but two - both Janelle and Megan's middle names are Elizabeth, and Koh means island in Thailand, where they handcraft all their cotton and silk scarves. Every collection is named after a beach or island in Thailand and feature a range of weights for wearing in several seasons. Elizabeth Koh is committed to improving the communities where their products are made, so 10% of proceeds are donated to SOS Children's Villages in Thailand.
