In appreciation for the readers who make LMS a lovely conversation, I'd like to give away three books in that spirit:*Creating A Beautiful Home by Alexandra Stoddard
*Celebrate Simply by Nancy Twigg
*Decorating On A Shoestring by Ellis and Janssen
Leave a comment below, and you'll be entered for all three books! I'll announce the winner this Saturday, November 3. US and Canadian readers only, please.

I enjoy your blog immensely, but find myself wishing I could find such great thrift shops like you do. The MacClaren stroller really hurt, since I'd been shopping for one for weeks. I did have to buy one full price as my little 2 yo can't walk and was too big for his stroller. On the positive side of thinking, I think thrift shops are few and far between here because the average person in our community is still pretty thrifty. But I have noticed consumerism expanding exponentially in the under 35 group. (sigh)
I'd love to receive those books! Thanks!
Count me in.
I would love to be entered in the giveaway! Thanks!
Great Giveaway! Thank you!
