You are so sweet to mention the giveaway. It was quite an adventure getting these babies. It's a story I'm going to share because it was a wonderful adventurous day! My computer is acting very stubborn today, so I'm borrowing this one, but wanted to make sure I came over to say "hey"! Your block continues to look wonderful and I always enjoy your visits!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to tell you -- make sure you post another comment in the giveaway comments because you mentioned the contest on your blog. Each comment gives you an entry (one comment for being a follower, one comment for mentioning the giveaway on your blog.) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I am going to have to go over and check this out. I was curious what these "horse apples" were.

I adore hedge apples. When I lived in the midwest I could pick them and I always had one in each room...great inscect/sider repellant. What a great idea for a giveaway. I do hope I win one.
ReplyDeleteCarole, We have hedge apples here in Ohio..
ReplyDeleteMy Mama would pick them put them in the basement to keep spiders away.
fun give-away..

ReplyDeleteThanks for the note Carole! You're the ultimate :)
ReplyDelete(I have a long hedgeapple story...4 another time :)but his name was CHIP DICK and I'm not kidding...
I haven't thought about hedgeapples for years and years. My Momma used to have us collect them and we put one in each room to keep down bugs? I don't know if that was an old wives tale or if it really works. (We did not ever have bugs anyway)
