WW: Ivy at Cornwallis Cave in Yorktown

Yorktown Cave Photo

Three years ago when walking around Yorktown for the first time, I was convinced I'd found the Entrance to Wonderland. Last month during my birthday vacation to Virginia, we discovered Cornwallis' Cave on another wonderful walk. Don't let the gorgeously green ivy fool you about how cold it was - we got smacked with snow on the way back to the hotel in Williamsburg.

    Ah, seeing the green leaves (gorgeous) in your post is so refreshing. The white snow, slush and gray/brown days are becoming old hat. Can't wait for spring.

    I wonder if there are any animals that take refuge in the cave?

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...
