think spring GIVEAWAY!

*THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED*


I have to admit, that when Fifi contacted me, I thought it wouldn't go right...
that she wouldn't like it....

I was out in the garden, nails full of dirt, and hot and tired from working out in the garden when my husband called to me "Fifi's on the phone"

I started laughing...it just didn't even sound right!.....but it was for real....

she started talking to me and her voice was so sweet...and she was so genuine...and she put me at ease immediately asking me questions about our farm

I answered the best I could, but it all didn't sound worth it for being in a book....so I asked Fifi if I was going to be in the 'decorating no-no section' or the 'romantic faux pauxs'

seriously

but she laughed and said "i don't think so sweetheart"

afterall, I knew the other women who were going to be featured in the book...and I knew that their talent and creativity and decorating skills far excel mine

but here we are....she did like our home, and actually did put it in the book....


 
after a day of photography shoots in and out of the farmhouse, we gathered some elements
from inside and actually brought them outside to our prairie we have in the back 3 acres,
for a fantastic candlelit dinner shot

...it really was so romantic...so Romantic Prairie Style


we then enjoyed dinner on our deck with both Fifi and Mark...and the next day,
our little 5 year old daughter  asked when "Uncle Mark" was coming back
(she missed him already...and seriously thought he was her uncle...so cute!)

both Mark and Fifi are a part of our family now...part of our memories here on our prairie,
and I hope when you see our home in Fifi's book, that you feel a part of our
life here too....

no amount of money could buy the gifts I have received by knowing this sweet lady...

  107. Thank you, Fifi, for reconnecting me with Anne Marie and her incredible blog! Hmmm, I think it may be easier to answer what I do not love, but since it's winter and icy and cold, I will say it's my little woodland garden in spring. It's a literal jewelry box of tiny blooms, chartreuse leaves, and a harbinger of warmer Summer days!

  132. Oh Anne Marie, just discovered your amazing Blog via Fifi's shout-out about your generous Give-away! What a beautiful Home you have... congrats on being profiled in Fifi's terrific new book! I hope you don't mind that rather than just a sidebar button I have included a Post so that my visitors and followers can rush over here and see more of the fabulousness you've shared on your Posts!? I'm not sure I know how to apply buttons quite yet (Tech challenged) and my e-mail is presently on the fritz *le sigh*, but when I find Blogs that captivate me I just have to share the news and a sneak preview of what they will behold! Be sure I will be visiting your Prairie Gypsy Paradise often... Dawn... The Bohemian

  133. Oohh! I would love to own this book, but money is tight right now so I more than likely won't be buying it. So winning it would really make my day! I just love the farmhouse/prairie style of decorating and am redoing my own farmhouse as much as I can. I also have a crush on all white rooms. The more white the better!
