I’m still on vacation (heading home tonight), but wanted to take a minute to post about an awesome stitchy giveaway. This one is definitely worth entering!

The online cross stitch shop Volarium is giving away a copy of “Cross Stitch Letters Bible” by Valerie Lejeune. I recently thumbed through this book at my LNS and drooled over all the various alphabets.

The book has over 700 pages and contains over 800 alphabets! It retails for $52, but this is someone’s chance to win it for free. You have until July 19 to enter. Full details of the giveaway can be found in this post on their blog.

As I mentioned at the start of this post, I’m still on vacation. I’ll try and post again in a few days when I’m back home with pics from the Ellen Chester class I took as well as some vacation photos.

I will close with a couple of teaser photos from my vacation. The first is a close-up shot of cherries growing in an orchard located at the Chateau Chantal winery just north of Traverse City, Michigan on the Old Mission Peninsula. The second photo is of the Old Mission Point Lighthouse found at the end of the peninsula. I’ll share more details about both of these locations in a forthcoming vacation wrap-up post.

Until next time …
