Imagine my surprise and delight when my blog dashboard popped up this morning and there it was: 100 Followers. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
So of course I'll be having the traditional "Sally 'You Like Me, You Really Like Me' Field" 100 Follower giveaway. I already showed you what I'll be giving away, but let's just look at it again, shall we?
(Vintage Shawnee planter--I keep one, the winner gets one)
And just to make this just that much more fabulous, one kitty cat isn't ALL that's in the giveaway, since I know there are those of you out there in Bloggoland who just looked at the picture and sniffed, "Yuck, cats." Ignoring the fact that now I feel sorry for you because you don't like cats, I still understand your problem and in the next day or so will come up with an alternate choice or two.
Of course there will be a few surprises along the way. This IS Vintage Christine, you know, solver of baby chicken murders and shower-offer of her stuff extraordinaire!
So here's the deal. First, ya gotta be a VintageChristine follower, so if you're not I suggest you join up now. Then all you have to do to enter the giveaway is leave me a comment telling me why I'm the best thing since pickled eggs and--just for shits and giggles--if you mention the giveaway on YOUR blog you'll get another chance at winning! Don't forget to tell me you did it because I'm not psychic for pete's sake.
Giveaway will end right about midnight on Sunday, May 30. I think I'm going to try that Random Picker thingie if I can find it and then figure out how to use it. Or I'll just use the cat again. (If he'll do it. You know how bitchy cats can be. Hmm, maybe that's one of the reasons people don't like them. Ya THINK?)
BTW--you don't REALLY have to tell me I'm the best thing since pickled eggs since that sounds superduper egotistical and sort of pathetic . . . plus if I'm the best thing since pickled eggs that really leaves ALOT of open territory. Pickled eggs are actually some of the most disgusting things ever invented and I can personally attest to the fact that, if you allow your husband to eat JUST ONE, you will forever rue the day you let him do it.
The resulting fartage is unimaginably horrible. Trust me on that one.
Woot! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI've been sorta picking up doggie planters (on the sly)lately and well, do you think they'll get along if I win?
I think you're the best thing since pickled eggs (really, is there such a thing, because the thought makes me ill?) for many reasons , but #1 is because I think you are a very giving person and I can tell that you really enjoy sharing-your life, your treasures, your photos, your struggles and your laughs :)
But I dont like Pickled Eggs! However Sliced Bread is another story ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Chris, where to start...
Your the best because of your humor, your authentically funny, you say what you think and feel! (thats one of the best ways to win my respect, and LADY you HAVE it!) I could sit here and babble all day... so to put is simply, as Cole Porter Wrote "Your The Top!" Congrats on 100 I'v loved EVERY post ;)
OMG...you know I love you. Need I say more? I adore you and worship your junk from afar, but keep your farts to yourself, ok?
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS!
ReplyDeleteI just realized I'm at 300! Yeah, go us!!
Why are you a pickled egg? lol, damn, because you are hilarious! You have, and continue to live a fun-filled life, you are fun, funny, witty, open, gregarious and we all adore you!! Most of all, you are genuine, passionate and there is no pretense about you.
I always look to see if you have updated your blog and click on yours first!
OK, will feature your giveaway on my blog as well!
Congrats again (((Christine)))
Congratulations on 100! You have a fun blog and I enjoy it. I love those kitty planters and would love to win one! Have a great week! Twyla
ReplyDeleteI too feel sorry for people who don't like cats! I just adore your blog...your humor is just want I need, and your stuff is awesome. Thanks for the great blog!
ReplyDeleteOh Chris, you are by far my favorite blogger (okay, you're tied with Anna).
ReplyDeleteIs it because you're beautiful...no...talented? No. Hysterical? Maybe.
Is it because you're batshiat crazy? Hell yeah.
After experiencing you and your blog, I could no longer function without it. Close your blog, I die. It's all in your hands.
Now send me a date or two. I need a man.
Your faithful follower,
Babs

ReplyDeleteBoo-ya! Congrats 100 followers! I think you are sooooo much better than a pickled egg. But that is a pretty low bar. I like your blog cuz there is always a dose of the sassy foul mouthed humor that keeps me comin' back for more. Also, you have really cool Sh*t!

ReplyDeleteNew Follower but I'm looking forward to catching up on your posts!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I will be having a summer "I'm glad this semester is over" giveaway soon, so visit my blog :)
Yay,kitty planters! I love cats, have two fabulous felines here at home. I read the blog daily, and it's great having a "contemporary" write about vintage from the viewpoint of a vintage person, lol! If I win the planter, it will be kept well out of the reach of paws, fear not!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I am so jealous - how in heavens name did you get 100 followers!?!?! Anyway, I LOVE vintage planters AND I love cats (ask Franklin, my handsome cat). One of my favorites is my vintage Blessed Mother planter that I think scares some of my friends...
ReplyDeleteBest,
Colleen
I'm a new follower because 1.) Yay a cat planter! and 2.) The pickled egg warning.. hilarious! Congrats on 100+ followers
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 100! On the pickled egg side of things...I like pickles and I like eggs...but I wouldn't touch a pickled egg with a ten foot pole. As long as you don't start posting shots of people eating pickled eggs or pickled eggs in jars, I am happy to be one of your followers.
ReplyDelete100 followers, that is awesome!!! Congratulations! Love the little kitty planter, my fingers are crossed! :D
ReplyDeleteI think you're fabulous, a true testament to the nature of...yeah, I have no idea where I'm going with this...you rock!
Happy 100 followers!
I'm back! :D
ReplyDeleteI posted about your giveaway HERE! :)
Pickled eggs, oh my. Husbands are like dogs...they eat the most disgusting things! Mine loves lamb fries and calf fries. We call them Mountain Oysters here. Good thing Tootie is a girl or The Hub would be eyeing those little doggie nuts as well. So, I happen to think you're the next best thing since little diamond studs...how's that? (No, Chris, not a Chippendale stud. Although come to think of it...) Congrats on 100 followers!!!!!

You know I'm a follower! Anybody who can figure out who killed my beloved Melvin is loved by me! I'll get a post about your 100 up after I get a shower. It's hard for us working girls to get in all of our chores. SNORT! You're the best!
ReplyDeleteI posted about you and you know I'm a grovelling follower as well.
