Blue Monday... and Lavender from Texas

I thought I'd share a little Blue from Texas today... well... okay... it's Lavender, but Lavender is a Blue... of sorts...

Have you ever met Debi the Lavender Chick from Hummingbird Farms? Hummingbird Farms is a real Texas Ranch/Farm where they raise Longhorn Cattle and ... you guessed it... Lavender...

They distill the Lavender and make wonderful Lavender scented products... my favorite being...

The Lavender Body Lotion...
For years I used Bath & Body Lavender Lotion... but then I was lucky enough, last May, to WIN a giveaway from Debi of Hummingbird Farms Lavender Lotion. I love it... and now... you can order online directly from Hummingbird Farms.. even if you don't live in Texas...
I wish my scratch and sniff button was working.. I'd love to share the divine fragrance of this Lavender... This is truly the best Lavender fragrance lotion I've ever used...

I like it so much, I got two of the bottled lotions... one for my nightstand and one for my office desk... and a tube of lotion for my purse...

When I find something truly special... I can't resist sharing it with you...

Happy Blue Monday... Drop by and see who else is participating at Smiling Sally's today, for Lavender Blue Monday...

Filled with the delightful fragrance of Lavender down here in French Lique...

How Lucky Can One Texas Gal Be? Purdy Lucky!

First let me say... I love free stuff... Here in blogger land... there are some really talented, wonderful folks that have giveaways... in which you can win free stuff... really good free stuff! Now, I have to admit... sometimes I don't leave a comment, 'cause I really don't want to win the free stuff... but there are some that I leave my comment and hope-hope-hope... that I'm am the lucky winner... Last week... I won two wonderful blog giveaways... free stuff... that I really did the "hope-hope-hope"... thing.. and of course... left a comment so I'd have a chance... to WIN!

First... the lovely Deb at Hummingbird Farms in the Texas Hill Country... Have you ever visited Lavender Chick? She is a lover of Lavender... she and her hubby raise their own Lavender at a farm in the Texas Hill Country... She is a lover of the Kentucky Derby and stray dogs... With a heart of gold and the Midas touch... they produce wonderful products from the essence of Lavender grown on their Hill Country Farm... I really wish blogger would come up with that scratch and sniff button...

I would love to share the divine fragrance of this wonderful silky Lavender Body Lotion... but, if you wish... you can visit Hummingbird Farms and buy some for yourself... I know I will... Thank you Lavender Girl! and then... one of my newest blogging buddies from Louisiana...

Couldn't you just guess that she had a Fleur De Lis giveaway! The lovely Lisa at Livin' Louisiana who lives in Baton Rouge... shares wonderful southern recipes, fantastic photos and historical data from the Old South... and beautiful crafts... like these... I think these qualify as the most beautiful coasters I've ever owned.. and they came so beautifully wrapped in ribbon... stamped with French script and of course... the Fleur De Lis... and I love the little touch of the felt footie's... Lisa is truly an artist!

How much do I love winning blogger giveaways? I love it THIS MUCH! Especially when they are as beautiful as these, from two wonderfully, beautiful women in blog land...

Thank you both, from the bottom of my little ole' Texas heart... If you drop by to visit these two wonderful ladies... tell 'em Dixie sent ya from...
