So this is my 1000th post here on Simple Lovely, which really kinda blows me away actually...
When I started this blog a few years ago, I had no expectations of what it would become. I just knew I wanted to create a little place to chronicle some thoughts on the often overlooked aspects of everyday life, to sort of keep an inspiration board -- a collection of things that were lovely and interesting and thoughtful. I also wanted to create a space that felt like mine, which admittedly sounds a little strange but with two little ones (I started the blog right after Millie was born) and a full-time job, I was especially needing a place just for me...
And then I "met" all of you, and this space became something more... The comments and e-mails, the friendships, the shared ideas, the blogging community, all amaze me daily (multiple times a day even.) It's you guys that make blogging so fun and rewarding and inspiring.
And for that I thank you... from the bottom of my heart.
I thought it would be fun to do a little giveaway to mark my 1000th post and wracked my brain for what would be appropriate for the occasion. Then, as if by fate, the lovely Marisa of Bosquez Jewelry (remember this gorgeous necklace) wanted to offer something to my readers, and the perfect solution presented itself...another one of those lovely serendipitous moments,no? (Thank you Marisa!)
So just leave a little comment on this post by next Friday, April 23rd at midnight for a chance to win the insanely cool crystal bridge necklace above, and thank you for reading and inspiring and making this whole blogging thing so much fun!

Congrats to you!! You are an inspiration. I'm still a newbie and haven't even hit my 200th post yet. 1000 seems so far away. I still go through days when I ask myself why am I doing this, is anyone even reading...and should't I being laundry instead?
Anyway, CONGRATS to you!
