In celebration of reaching 650 followers on my blog, I thought I would have a giveaway.
When I started my blog Lavender Hill Studio, way back in November of 2006, it was to market and complement my Lavender Hill Studio website. I still have my Lavender Hill Studio blog and website (click on the links above to visit them).
Blogging was so much fun, I started blogging about my home, decorating, gardening, cooking and more. In November of 2008, I decided to start a lifestyle blog and call it The Comforts of Home. A blog that I could share, with all of you, the things that inspire me to create a comfortable home life.
