Giveaway | Spring Retreat Basket

- Giveaway now closed - 

Today, we have a simply lovely giveaway, sponsored by one of my readers!  
This lady has not only been a great encouragement to me during my blogging adventure, but she has gone a step further - and has become Kellie Falconer Design's largest sponsor!  
Her creativity, generosity, and Farmgirl spirit have been instrumental to my development as a business and blog, and I want to take this opportunity to thank you, Winnie, for being such a wonderful friend and sponsor.
Today, one of you has the chance to win the Spring Retreat Basket, filled with everything you need to have the perfect afternoon sipping tea or coffee, journaling, or delving into the pages of a delightful new book!

The prize consists of a darling Longaberger pottery mug and lid, paperback book, one of Winnie's handcrafted paper baskets with Lemon/Ginger Tea, her homemade coffee blend (regular, french roast, french vanilla, and a touch of cafe l'orange), and a sweet little notebook for journaling.

To enter, leave a comment sharing your favorite place to read a book in the Springtime!

    My favorite place to read in the springtime is on my front porch.. I can catch some sunshine and a fresh breeze.

    I am looking forward to reading 'The Alley' by Eleanor Estes. But, of course, a fairy tale book like 'The Little Book-Room', Eleanor Farjeon, or the 'Crimson Fairy Book' by Andrew Lang.
    I dunno! I have a lot of books I love to read. But, some books are just 'spring-y'. :D

    I'm not entering the giveaway, but I just heard you lost your followers because of silly google.

    So, I'm now following. Good luck. You have such a cute blog!

    Whoops, I didn't realize that the question was 'WHERE' would you like to read in the spring, not 'WHAT'. Haha!
    Well, we have this sprawling apple tree with a large stone underneath it, I'm thinking that would be a great place to read...

    I like turning my bed room light low, and curling up into a ball, with my book. That goes for any time of the year! I have no special way to read in Spring. I'm not an outdoor lover, so I rarely go outside.

    My favorite spring (and summertime) place to read is our back patio, in a collapsible camp chair. :) Or stretched out in the sun in our backyard on a blanket. That's fun too.

    Kellie,
    I was wondering if I even can still enter this giveaway if I won something from your last giveaway?
    If not, just take my entries off instead of posting them.
