Hi Erin
Congratulations on one year of blogging! I just love visiting you and seeing the wonderful paintings you've created and all your "inspiration" I would love to win the welcome sunflowers sign. It would be perfect at my house! What a generous giveaway. There is an Anthropologie store very close to us. I've never bought anything there but I sure would love to! I never seem to win giveaways but maybe I'll win this time.
Hugs, Rhondi
Hi Erin, your new website looks so beautiful and I would really love to enter your giveaway...however...I cannot pick a painting I love the most at this moment...definately have to think it over because I love so many of them. : ) Please enter me though..
By the way, I love the addition of the pricing on your site, that is a smart thing that you did.

Good morning Erin! Congratulations on your blogging. I agree to blogging being as having pen pals all over the world! I use to have pen pals from Scotland and England many, many moons ago! Of course the handwritten letter is still so nice. I have never shopped at Anthropologie or looked at it before. But I do love your paintings. It was a toss up between two of them, but I really like the one with the garden chair and red flowers.
You show us such beautiful things and areas that I am always amazed.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Take Care!

I am SO happy for you and couldn't wait to see your new website! I love the Flower Shoppe and would be THRILLED to win! How sweet you are to have such a wonderful giveaway! Thank you!
Congratulations Erin and Bentley! I love your blog so much as it is like you step into the garden and just feel right at home! Wow, I love Anthropologie , especially their garden things and dishes! All of your paintings would fit into my home as I am a flower, nature person! Please enter me into your drawing and Happy Fall to you!
Oh, my goodness..Congratulations on your first year of blogging, Erin.
Talk about a generous giveaway...my goodness gracious.
Anthropologie is a favorite with so many of us. I love their monogramed cups and....Oh, I love everything they have. Thank you for giving us this wonderful chance to win some of your goodies.
IF I should win a painting, the Paris Bicycle is the one for me! :)
I love your new website..and so much good luck to you...I know your paintings are going to sell so so fast.
I will take a photo back with me and put it on my sidebar...helping to spread "the word" can't hurt...right?
hugs, bj
Erin, Congrats on your one year anniversary. I love to visit and partake of tea with you and Bentley... I'm posting your give-away on my sidebar, maybe you can get some visits from new friends that way. If I were to win, I would definitely choose the Paris bicycle. It is so Frenchy cute! And it would go in my red kitchen so well! Thanks for being so generous in your give-away. :-) Sue
Hi Erin!
Happy First Anniversary! I am sorry I have been absent for the last month...moving has taken up so much of my time.
What a wonderful anniversary celebration you are having. Your giveaway is soooo generous! I would be honored to have one of your loving paintings in my new home. My painting of choice is the red geraniums. I love all that you do, but geraniums are my favorite flower...

Erin, I absolutely adore the red bicycle welcome sign! Congratulations on your one year anniversary of your beautiful blog! Your garden looks beautiful and inviting. I would love to be sitting in it and sharing some tea with you now. Keep on blogging, and I wish you much success with your lovely new website:>)

Erin! Congratulations ~ I can't believe it's been a year already.:) Your blog is so warm and wonderful to visit, just like you. I am so glad you love having your blog, it IS like having lots of wonderful pen pals all over the world. I happy I can count you as one. xoxo Lidy
Fabulous giveaway to celebrate your FIRST YEAR of blogging. I'm new to blogging, and can appreciate your milestone! I love, love, love the cute painting of the pink bike. So if I WIN, that's the one for me :-)
Hope you'll stop by my online shop AND blog when you have a chance.
xo,

Congratulations on your anniversary! I love the "Beach Cottage" painting. It looks like the Harborside in Newport Beach. Is it? I love your art!
Hugs, Susan
Congratulations my love! YOU are a beautiful member of Blogland and always an inspiration to me! We are blessed to have you with us - always kind and ALWAYS so giving.
Kisses to Bentley and thank you for all that you have shared.
Love,
Kim
I love color and your paintings are so uplifting and cheerful. I adore the pansy Welcome Sign. Your paintings are a blessing.
Hi Erin,
Congratulations on your one year blogging anniversary. Your blog is such a delightful place to visit. Always puts a smile on my face. You are celebrating in style here with a very generous giveaway. I had a very hard time deciding between your paintings as they are all lovely. I do especially love the red bicycle welcome sign, however.
Thanks for this opportunity to enter the giveaway.
They are all gorgeous but Sunflowers in Provence steals my heart! Of course, all your work is beautiful and I would be thrilled to have any one of your pieces.
Your blog and website are both precious.
Congratulations and all the best -
Kim
Congratulations on a wonderful year of blogging! I'm a big fan of all of your paintings! I especially love the Balboa Cottage and the cute little red bicycle welcome sign!
I can't believe you are having such a huge give-a-way!
I would love to get my hands on a copy of Waterside Cottages too! :)
Thank you so much!
Blessings to you and your new website! It's gorgeous!!
Congratulations. The First Anniversary is wonderful. Besides everything beautiful you do, I am amazed at Bentley. I think Disney Studios might like to use him in a film. He is like a dog movie star. I would like to sign up for the Anthropologie gift and the beautiful painting of pink roses. You are an inspiration to me.
Love, Leslie
OMIGOSH Erin, what a generous giveaway! Winning one of your paintings would be plenty, but then you're putting the gift certificates in with the prizes! Congratulations on your anniversary. We must have started blogging at about the same time. I am also celebrating my anniversary with a little giveaway (it was on the post before the one you just visited) - my giveaway doesn't compare to yours though. I have so enjoyed coming here and seeing your beautiful art and being inspired, and I know I will continue to enjoy visiting your lovely blog. I'd love to win any of your paintings, but if I had to pick, I think I'd really like the Red Geranium. Your garden is so pretty all decked out for fall. Love the scarecrow's tea party! laurie
Erin, congratulations! It's always wonderful coming over here and being so welcomed by your words and pretty photos....and glimpses of your beautiful artwork!
Hugs! Blessings!
Diane
Erin,
Congratulations on your anniversary, your artwork and your blog is always a pleasure to visit. What a generous and amazing giveaway. Your new web site is wonderful, did you design this yourself, it looks fabulous. My favorite painting? It is hard to pick, but I love the Garden By The Sea with those lovely french doors escorting you outside for peek at the sea view.
I am so excited Erin, I don't think I have ever seen such a generous and lovely giveaway. Congratulations on your new web site, it's a perfect showcase to show off your beautiful work.
Karen
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, ERIN AND THAT ADORABLE BENTLEY,
I see he is still on duty, always out looking for Inspiration. I hugged him through the monitor for Amy and me.
I think I may have heard someone mention Anthropologie before but the greatest give away aside from your friendship would be one of your paintings. Amy and I still take magical rides on the pink bicycle you sent us.
If we were so blessed again to receive a painting of yours I love the flower shoppe. It is so very pretty and there is nothing more rewarding than to walk into a flower shoppe.
I LOVE...LOVE....ALL YOUR PAINTINGS....I KNOW YOU WILL BE BLESSED AND SELL THEM ALL....THE ONE OF THE GIRL ON HER RED BICYCLE OUTSIDE THE LAVENDER FARM AND THE GIRL WALKING THROUGH THE FARMERS MARKET WITH ALL THE DISPLAYS......YOU ARE SO VERY, VERY TALENTED.
If you designed a button with your web/blog address I know there are hundreds of us who would display it on our blog.
I love all the pumpkins you and Bently have decorated with. I especially love the maple sugar can with mums in it on the back of your chair....what an awesome ideal.
Thanks for all your prayers, Erin and for letting me know about your give away. I can't blog like I use to and I know you know that.
CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN TO YOU AND PRECIOUS BENTLEY FOR ONE YEAR OF BLOGGING AND TO MANY, MANY YEARS TO COME.
ANGEL HUGS
LOVE
Debbie
Erin, you are so sweet to have a give away for your 1 year anniversary! Congratulations to you. I always enjoy coming to your blog so much. The colors are just beautiful. To me it looks like you are living the beautiful live there! Bentley is the icing on the cake. :)
If I were the lucky winner, I would definitely choose the red bicycle welcome sign. That painting is perfect in my eyes!
Congratulations!
Great giveaway! Congratulations on one year of blogging!
Congratulations on a year of blogging, Erin, and what a very, very generous giveaway you are having. I would love to win and have one of your lovely paintings to hang in my home!!
Your new website is fabulous!
Hugs to you and Bentley,
Donna

G'morning, Erin,
Up early and visiting this morning.
Today is my 2 yr. blogging anniv. and I almost forgot it. :)
Have a good day, bj
Well, if I can't win Bentley, my choice of your beautiful paintings will have to be the WELCOME sign with the bucket of gorgeous blue flowers - that would look delightful on my front porch. All your work is amazing - hard to chose a favorite Erin.
Love Anthropologie - nearby shop recently opened and I was able to get my latte bowls (so nice - strong and glazed for stain-free coffee use!), and it was my lucky day - I bought a gorgeous sweater jacket, an early B'day gift from my DH! Love their offerings so would be a delighted winner - could treat my granddaughter to something special as she loves the store too but is thrown a curve when she reads the price tags, sigh!
Congratulations on one year blogging anniversary. You have certainly showered us with color and loveliness.........and of course handsome Bentley!
Mary - ACROSS THE POND
The suspense is killing me!!!! (hee! Hee) Have a wonderful weekend Erin!
Fabulous - I would love to have the little red bicycle.
Love everything about your blog.
Love,
Susan

I forgot to say that I love the pink flowers painting. I so wish I was a creative soul that could paint like this!
I would really love to enter your giveaway...however...I cannot pick a painting I love the most Work from home India
