In honor of my birthday, I thought it’d be fun to give one of YOU a present.
These are some of my favorite products and I love sharing them with you. On the blog and now in person, for one of you to use and try!
I wish I were able to give every single one of you a gift package like this. :)
That’s why I’m trying to incorporate a few more giveaways here and there to help spread the love.
And hey, it may be my birthday, but it’s just a good excuse to have another giveaway because it’s about time anyway.
I actually wrote a post, years ago on my birthday, and only months after starting the blog. (3 short months)
I guess since it was so new, I wanted to share a little about myself with all of you.
I planned to link it here for fun so when I hopped over to get the link, I re-read it for the first time in a long time!
Oh my, cringe worthy!! hahaha! What was I thinking sharing some of that?? lol
I almost didn’t link it but oh well, here goes. ;) >>> My Birthday Post/ A Little About Me
Okay, now that we are past that, and you now know me a little better, (right?? hee hee) let’s get this giveaway ball rolling!
Are you excited??
Here’s what’s in the box:
Aubusson Blue Chalk Paint sample pot
Fine Stone faux finish (this is what I just used on this project)
Brush
German Silver Gilding Wax (my favorite color in this line!)
Floral decoupage paper
And those of you who have won my past giveaways know, I almost always add in 1 or 2 extra little things not pictured.
It’s a surprise….for only the winner to know! :)
**None of these companies are sponsoring this giveaway. This is a gift from ME to YOU! :)
Here’s how you enter:

Happy Birthday! I’m not sure how long I’ve been following you but it’s been at least 2 -3 years. I truly enjoy all your projects, and most recently, your remodel. It’s gorgeous!
Loved the old post and vintage photos! The Breakfast Club pic makes me think you were having a Blast! Cheers to your Birthdays, Carpe’ Diem, keep smiling and having a blast!

Awww, happy birthday Nancy! Hope the coming year is blessed. I’ve been following you for a couple years, but really enjoyed reading your earlier birthday post.
First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! I have been following you for about two years, I think. I really enjoy reading your blog. Enjoy your birthday!
Mariah Beaney
I’m relatively new to your blog (only about a year following) but very much enjoy everything you post. I look forward to each blog posting and am amazed at the furniture re-dos!
Happy birthday Nancy! And a belated happy birthday to your Mr. lol!
Iāve been following for about a year now, maybe a little longer. I enjoy all the furniture projects, but I think some of my favorite ACR projects are the smalls that you do! Thanks for all the ideas!
Thank you for all the birthday wishes! :) Oh yes, the smalls are so much fun and can be so creative. So happy to have you here, thank you for following! xoxo
Just started following you a few weeks ago from my Pinterest account. Today I start my furst chalk oaint project. I am excited to see how the paint goes on some vintage furniture.
Happiest of birthdays to you! I believe itās been at least a couple years that I have been reading your posts. You work so hard and produce such lovely pieces. You inspire me. Thank you!
Happy Birthday! I can’t remember how long I have been following, but I LOVE all your projects! (P.S. I was not able to leave a comment in the box above for the giveaway, so I hope this suffices! My “clicker” would not let me click in the box to comment!)
Aw, thank you so much Patty! So happy to hear that! :) And oh, no, sorry for the confusion, this is perfect! No comments can go in that other box. You did it right!! xoxo
Thanks for the giveaway and Happy Birthday! So glad I checked out your Facebook page. There were some older posts that I missed. Guessing I hadnāt found your blog yet!
My birthday was just three days ago! Been following you for about a month and am totally mesmerized by these projects! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity, my DIY stash is barely started ?
I don’t know how long. From the first time I saw your super craftiness! Happy Birthday! I hope it is a fabulous one. And thank you for a chance to win great prizes.
Happy Birthday and thank you for all the wonderful tips and ideas. I’m also a February birthday girl. Mine is the 16th as well as my youngest sister who was born on my third birthday!!
Happy, Happy Birthday!!! I really don’t know how long I have been following you, I only know I enjoy everything you show and teach me and I always want MORE!

Happy Birthday Nancy! i also have a birthday, mine is the 11th. i have a ladies celebration of Love, Life & Friendship every Valentine’s Day (during the day) and absolutely love celebrating! i enjoyed your original birthday post, nothing wrong with nostalgia!
i love you tutorials, you do such fun things!
Happy, Happy birthday Nancy and here’s to many more!
I read every blog post you publish and watch each and every video simply because…. they bring joy to me all the way from the USA to London, UK.
Sometimes I even venture to using your ideas in my projects…. ?
God bless you and yours!
All the very best,
Vc
Oh my gosh, really??!!! You just made my day! I am so happy to hear that!! Truly, that is everything. :) And what I hope to do for anyone who lands on this blog. By the way, I hope to visit the wonderful UK someday! I have always just loved it so, from afar. And I recently did the 23andme ancestry and found out that I am British (second in line behind Polish/Austrian ;) ) and most of my DNA relatives are in the London area! Blessings to you my friend! xoxo
Well, Nancy by all means do come over for a visit to your anscestral home!!!
BUT before you do, let me know and I’ll make sure I am here to greet you and go thrifting with you :-). That will be a real treat!!!
Also:
Years ago I went to Annie Sloane’s in Oxford for a whole day’s training course…..
If you can time your visit to coincide with one of the courses still offered at her studio/shop, we could go together for a pilgrimage of sorts!!!!
All the very best, xox
Vic
PS Your “dry brush” video is ACE!
Ahh, yes!!! That would be a real treat for me too!!! That would be so much fun. I would love to attend one of her classes. I will definitely let you know if (when!) we make the trip. :) And yay, I’m so glad you like the dry brush video! Best to you, Vic!! xoxo
Happy birthday blessings Nancy! Happy birthday to you? happy birthday to you!? Happy birthday dear Nancy?? happy birthday to you!?????
I think yours was the very first blog I started reading about 3 years ago! thanks for sharing your original blog post with us, those photos were so cute! Many blessings on your special day!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ??
I loved seeing your photos growing up. They remind me of my own! Lol!
I’ve been following you for about a year now, and I love your coastal thrifty vibe! Keep up the great work, and have a FABULOUS day!
Happy birthday to one of my favorite bloggers. Have been following you for a few years. Have learned so much from you. Can’t seem to get on the sites for your giveaway.
Aw, really?? That is so great to hear Ellie! Thank you so much! :) Did you try the link I shared above the giveaway box? If you click that, you should be able to get to it! xo
Happy Birthday to you and the Mr .Thanks for giving us a birthday present. Have been following you for a few years…love your “coastal” ideas they always inspires me.
Happy Birthday, Nancy! I guess I have been following you for at least 2 years. I have a folder of craft/furniture/painting ideas and have a lot of yours in there so I probably could pin it down closer if I needed to. While I am here, I have to tell you how much I loved your crown molding and ship lap how to. We put ship lap on one wall in our family room and plan to do another room as soon as we can – maybe even the laundry room. Your home remodeling is beautiful by the way. This looks like a great giveaway so thanks for offering it to us.
Thank you Carol! :) So happy to have you following along with me! And thank you for the sweet comments on our remodel! Sounds like you guys have been busy too! Good luck on winning the goodies! xoxo
I’ve been following you for a couple of years at least. Although I’m enjoying watching the updates in your home, I especially like reading about the small projects that I might be able to achieve myself….and the thrifting trips :)
So happy to have you here! And I love hearing what you enjoy seeing! The thrifting trips are so much fun. Glad everyone enjoys seeing them as much as we enjoy being in them! ;) xo
Happy Birthday Nancy, I enjoyed your blog post, IG post and all the photos you shared! Have a great day and I wish you peace, love, and happiness in the year ahead!
Aw, I am SO glad you do Celia! :) No, I can’t remember getting a heart shaped cake but I love that idea!! Thank you for the birthday wishes and a big happy birthday to your daughter! xoxo
I’ve been following you for about a year and a half, I think. I believe this is my second opportunity to wish you a happy birthday! I hope the year ahead brings you a lot of happiness.
How sweet of you to give someone else a gift on YOUR birthday! Looks like a great gift, too…whoever wins it will love it! I hope you had a really special birthday! Love, K xo
How kind of you to think of us on your birthday. My uncle always sent his mother a birthday gift on his birthday. Hope yours was a great one. We celebrate several important birthdays in our family in February. Youngest grandchild celebrated his “4” birthday on the 6th along with one of his older cousins. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
I absolutely love that idea! I bet she did to! So sweet. And happy birthday to all of your family members! February is a great month for birthdays! :) xoxo
Silly girl, youāre supposed to GET the presents. Lots of Happy Birthday wishes are coming your way, you deserve them! Thank you for being so giving, and knowing just what I wanted.

Oh wow!! So happy to have you back Debbie! :) Thank you and I’m so glad you love the things I share and they inspire you too. That is what I hope for!! xoxo

Happy Happy Birthday! I’ve been following you for years and have gotten lots of great tips. I am in the middle of kitchen remodel and getting ready to paint cabinets. Say a little prayer. I’ve painted furniture, but not cabinets, but have seen all of your posts, and think I will be fine. Thanks for all of your inspiration!
Thank you Terry! :) Oh yes!! You’ve got this!! Thank you for following along all those years! So glad my posts and projects have been of help to you. Now get to painting!! ;) xoxo

Hi Nancy – hope you had a spectacular birthday! I found you on Pinterest months ago and love your style and your informative DIYs. Thank you for sharing your creativity and your love!
We built a new home about a yeat ago. I am still decorating as I donāt want a bunch of āstockā decor I can find at any big box store. I am thrifting to incorporate vintage finds, and upcycling small pieces.
Happy birthday lovely lady! I am not even sure how long I have been following you. It must be a few years at least. I look forward to all of your blogs, you are down to earth, practical, and create beauty.
Happy Birthday!!!
Not sure how long I’ve been reading here… I found you by way of some of the the other Trash-To-Treasure ladies though! It’s been… oh, 2 years? Time flies when you’re reading about someone’s fun, so who knows! ?
What a generous way to celebrate your day, Nancy! I’ve been following you for about 3 years, I think. I still look at the tiled tray project periodically to get myself motivated ?
Thank you so much for following along with me, Marcie! :) And oh, that’s funny! I love those tiled projects I’ve done. They are some of the most fun. Get busy!! ;) xoxo
Your work is gorgeous (and so is your house). I love what you did with the silverware chest. Mine was pretty 50 years ago but now just blah. I might paint the outside and leave the felt alone as it still looks ok. i have neuropathy and lack of strength in my fingers so trying to line anything would be almost impossible for me but painting is one of my favorite thing to do. (You should see the mess i make when I paint as sometimes the paintbrush just jumps out of my hands. ) This giveaway is wonderful so thank you for sharing!
Aw, thank you so very much Carol! Yes, if the inside is in good shape, leave it! They are tough to remove so that works out great for you. I totally understand that. That darn paintbrush jumps outta my hand sometimes too! (along with everything else! ;) )xoxo
Happy birthday!!! I’ve been following u for a while now since before I did your flooring. Love to see your projects but haven’t started any of mine yet. I once sent some pics of my end tables that needed to be redone but it took so long for them to refinish my porch.
Wow auto correct sure is funny! Imagine me doing your floors. Anyway, yes I did send some pics your way of wrought iron tables with a little flower flourish on the end pieces some time during the summer when they were re -doing my porch.
Thank you for all your wonderful ideas! I have learned so much from you and even at my age I am learning how to do things I have always wanted to do. Have a Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday!!! Hope you have the Best Day ever!! Gosh…..I can’t remember how long I’ve been following you. Long enough to know I want to go to the thrift stores with you!!
Im a first time home owner, doing it on my own and your ideas and tutorials have helped given me so many ideas to help me fill my home the way I want to without putting me further in debt, can’t wait to see more!

I am so happy to hear that Audrey! :) Thank you so much for following along!! And Yay!!!! That absolutely makes my day! You can do it!! xoxo
Happy Birthday Nancy! i also have a birthday, mine is the 11th. i have a ladies celebration of Love, Life & Friendship every Valentine’s Day (during the day) and absolutely love celebrating! i enjoyed your original birthday post, nothing wrong with nostalgia!
i love you tutorials, you do such fun things!
Thank you Gwen!! And a big happy birthday to you too! So happy you enjoy the tutorials!! Have fun on your ladies celebration!! xoxo
Happy, Happy birthday Nancy and here’s to many more!
I read every blog post you publish and watch each and every video simply because…. they bring joy to me all the way from the USA to London, UK.
Sometimes I even venture to using your ideas in my projects…. ?
God bless you and yours!
All the very best,
Vc
Oh my gosh, really??!!! You just made my day! I am so happy to hear that!! Truly, that is everything. :) And what I hope to do for anyone who lands on this blog. By the way, I hope to visit the wonderful UK someday! I have always just loved it so, from afar. And I recently did the 23andme ancestry and found out that I am British (second in line behind Polish/Austrian ;) ) and most of my DNA relatives are in the London area! Blessings to you my friend! xoxo
Well, Nancy by all means do come over for a visit to your anscestral home!!!
BUT before you do, let me know and I’ll make sure I am here to greet you and go thrifting with you :-). That will be a real treat!!!
Also:
Years ago I went to Annie Sloane’s in Oxford for a whole day’s training course…..
If you can time your visit to coincide with one of the courses still offered at her studio/shop, we could go together for a pilgrimage of sorts!!!!
All the very best, xox
Vic
PS Your “dry brush” video is ACE!
Ahh, yes!!! That would be a real treat for me too!!! That would be so much fun. I would love to attend one of her classes. I will definitely let you know if (when!) we make the trip. :) And yay, I’m so glad you like the dry brush video! Best to you, Vic!! xoxo

Happy Birthday, Nancy! I guess I have been following you for at least 2 years. I have a folder of craft/furniture/painting ideas and have a lot of yours in there so I probably could pin it down closer if I needed to. While I am here, I have to tell you how much I loved your crown molding and ship lap how to. We put ship lap on one wall in our family room and plan to do another room as soon as we can – maybe even the laundry room. Your home remodeling is beautiful by the way. This looks like a great giveaway so thanks for offering it to us.
Thank you Carol! :) So happy to have you following along with me! And thank you for the sweet comments on our remodel! Sounds like you guys have been busy too! Good luck on winning the goodies! xoxo

So happy to have you here! And I love hearing what you enjoy seeing! The thrifting trips are so much fun. Glad everyone enjoys seeing them as much as we enjoy being in them! ;) xo
Happy Birthday Nancy, I enjoyed your blog post, IG post and all the photos you shared! Have a great day and I wish you peace, love, and happiness in the year ahead!

We built a new home about a yeat ago. I am still decorating as I donāt want a bunch of āstockā decor I can find at any big box store. I am thrifting to incorporate vintage finds, and upcycling small pieces.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY?
Oh how fun and exciting! And yes, I totally understand that. That is a great plan. :) Thank you for the birthday wishes too, Shelly! xoxo
Happy birthday lovely lady! I am not even sure how long I have been following you. It must be a few years at least. I look forward to all of your blogs, you are down to earth, practical, and create beauty.
Thank you so much! And thank you for following along with me too! :) So happy you enjoy the blog! xoxo
Happy Birthday! I’ve been following you for about a year…
Thank you Audra! :) xo
Nancy, I love your blog. You seem very beautiful inside and out.
Aw, thanks so very much Kimberly. :) xoxo
Happy Birthday!!!
Not sure how long I’ve been reading here… I found you by way of some of the the other Trash-To-Treasure ladies though! It’s been… oh, 2 years? Time flies when you’re reading about someone’s fun, so who knows! ?
Thank you Becky! And yes, it really does!! :) xoxo
Happy (belated…) Birthday! I have been following you for about a year and really enjoy your posts!
Thank you Tami! :) So happy you enjoy the posts I share! Thanks so much for following along here! xoxo
What a generous way to celebrate your day, Nancy! I’ve been following you for about 3 years, I think. I still look at the tiled tray project periodically to get myself motivated ?
Thank you so much for following along with me, Marcie! :) And oh, that’s funny! I love those tiled projects I’ve done. They are some of the most fun. Get busy!! ;) xoxo
Your work is gorgeous (and so is your house). I love what you did with the silverware chest. Mine was pretty 50 years ago but now just blah. I might paint the outside and leave the felt alone as it still looks ok. i have neuropathy and lack of strength in my fingers so trying to line anything would be almost impossible for me but painting is one of my favorite thing to do. (You should see the mess i make when I paint as sometimes the paintbrush just jumps out of my hands. ) This giveaway is wonderful so thank you for sharing!
Aw, thank you so very much Carol! Yes, if the inside is in good shape, leave it! They are tough to remove so that works out great for you. I totally understand that. That darn paintbrush jumps outta my hand sometimes too! (along with everything else! ;) )xoxo
Happy Birthday, Nancy. I love your blog. ā¤ļø
Thank you Rita. :) So glad you love the blog! xo

Thank you, Nita! :) Did you send the pics of the end tables to me or someone else? And yes, go ahead and get started on yours, have fun! xoxo
Wow auto correct sure is funny! Imagine me doing your floors. Anyway, yes I did send some pics your way of wrought iron tables with a little flower flourish on the end pieces some time during the summer when they were re -doing my porch.
Haha!! Yes, I knew what you meant. ;) xo
