But I have a very good excuse! You see in the last few days I have meet an entire family that I never knew
 I had. I posted on my personal blog how I found my biological father on Facebook last month …
I met him and about 20 family members for the first time this week, needless to say it has thrown me a little off track.  It was a  wonderful and miraculous experience that I plan to write about on my other blog soon,
but for now I have a lot of catching up to do! Our next give away is so beautiful…..I wish I could win….
 Deb Hodge from http://breathingbesideus.blogspot.com/ is giving away one of her latest designs,
 one of her dreamy hand sewn ruffled cuffs with vintage embellishments. They are so pretty! All you have to do to qualify to win one of these soft little vintage treats is leave a comment here and also on Debs’s blog, then come to the mercantile on the 23rd and the winner will be posted. Good luck! I have tons more info and give away’s coming up  and only ten days left to post them all… I have to make up for some lost time be sure to check back ……the next give away is coming up sooner than you may think!
sincerely,
Debi
