  14. I am already a follower, you are one of my favorite blogs. :)

    I tweeted. :)

    My favorite item in your jewelry shop right now is the Lavender Fields Vintage Doily Dress. How gorgeous is that?!

    My favorite item in your photography shop right now is "Whisper."

    My favorite childhood memory would have to be when my dad would take us fishing except one time we actually caught a fish and had no bucket to take him home in for dinner.....so my dad put him in a plastic bag with water and tied him to the bumper of his car so we wouldn't spill water in the car. That poor fish.

    I recently gave a homeless man holding a sign saying, "Just Hungry" an orange I had in my car.

    I voted at the Lovelies. Hope you win!

    I just bought some earrings today. I know, I couldn't have bought them when ordering the shirt?! sheesh. haha I just realized today I need more cute earrings. :)

    Point count: 17 :)

  37. Hi! I'm a new follower and definitely intrigued by your beautiful layout and photos!

    I'm tweeted about your giveaway here. /sunniipinky

    I really like the teal flower starburst and vintage key necklace.

    All of your photos are really beautiful, but I like Daydream the most.

    I think I really enjoyed traveling to different places in the world with my parents. :) It's hard to be very specific.

    I treated my friend to her favorite drink when she was studying for midterms, early grey milk tea. :)

    I've already voted for you on The Lovelies not because I want an extra point in your giveaway but because your photographs are truly amazing. :)

    7 points all together. I'll look at your items again when I have more $$ in my bank account. xD
