Whaaat? You don’t believe me? Just because I’m a city girl? Well, I do. I have my very own goats.

Ok….so I don’t have to feed them — they’re on notecards! The very fabulous Ms. Rohanknitter sent them to me ’cause it was my lucky day a few weeks ago and I just happened to be the first one on her blog to guess that she and her family were going to Wrigley Field to see the Cubs play baseball. (Isabelle, you must forgive the excitement of my run-on sentence!) Just look at all the goodies she sent me.

1Prizes

Goat notecards, cute little paper folders, notepaper with pen (check out those cute sheep on the green ribbon) and some beautiful hot pink extra fine merino yarn. I love hot pink. Thank you, Thank you Karen, for the super prize package! And HOW did you know that Hot Chocolate is my drink of choice? Not tea, not coffee — my very favorite is Hot Chocolate! You Rock, My Dear!

And if that weren’t enough luck, I’ve won two other contests in the last month. They say luck runs in threes and it must be so. (I joked with Marianne that I couldn’t enter her contest because I’d won two this month and I wanted to save my third win to go and buy a lottery ticket — but du-uh, I forgot — I’ve already won three contests.) Anyway, I won two beautiful patterns — the very sweet Cottage Garden Bag from Cinderberry Stitches and the ever-so-cool Magoo from Melly & Me. Thank you — all of you girls — I love everything and you’re all so generous! Please go and visit all of their blogs — they’re all full of great ideas and inspiration.
And also, don’t forget to check in with Hollycakes . She’s going to be having some giveaways (I heard the WS- word — shhhh, Williams Sonoma — among others) and some voting. And besides, you have to get over there to see her very hip, trend-setting cats in their bibs! Scruff saw those bibs and just started whining — he wants to feel the Lakehouse Bib Love too.
XOXO,
Anna

    How funny! I clicked on your blog and my goats showed up! Made me do a double-take for a minute there! I’m so glad you like all your little do-dads. I was hoping you’d like the hot chocolate and I was hoping the pink wasn’t too PINK. : )

    I love the patterns you won, too! That monkey is too cute. It’s funny, I won 3 contests within about a week back in July (or was it August) and I think my husband was tempted to have me buy some lotto tickets, he couldn’t believe it.

    I looked up that paiting you mentioned, I can see why you like it. I think my fav detail is the way she’s kind of stretching her hands out, feeling her way. Sad, though.

    I was going to dissagree about the goats being a good this to have…but then, if they make us gorgeous yarn who would I be to question your love? Lok at your loot! You lucky lady! i think I could do with some of your luck..oh hang on…I am lucky! Well done you! Now I am just off to Holly’s blog to see if I can win something! x

    This current fad of having contests on blogs is so much fun, especially if you win. Three in a row must be a record!

    Hey you have really been on a lucky streak and won some very wonderful things. That yarn is really a yummy color and those notecards are a hoot. I love hot chocolate also, although not as much as my coffee :)

    Hugs – Karen
