Here's a peek around my cozy town.
The color of this home is stunning....


And the color of this house reminded me of the book

I just finished...

Is that not one of the most beautiful colors ever ?

It's my 'giveaway'.

If you would like to read this book, please leave a comment.

Random.org will pick winners Wednesday Night (11-18), and I will announce them Thursday.

*UPDATE* and the winner is comment #12 (Jboo) !




Happy Blue Monday! Thanks for hosting Smiling Sally !

Also participating in Watery Wednesday & Waterside Wednesday !

    Beautiful spot ;-)
    I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Time Traveler's Wife. Hard to believe it's a first novel!
    Hugs and blessings,

    Oh, how I'd love to paint a house in those wonderful colors! (Heck, I'd love to have a house LIKE THAT!) My hubby would have a fit, not to mention the HOA! Thank you for sharing this beautiful post...

    I had forgotten about this book...it was on my reading "mental" list. Guess I had better write things down.

    What a lovely little town...just my style! I do wonder where in Florida you live? We vacation in Seagrove...Ooooh...I do love that beautiful perfectly WHITE sand! They don't have sand like THAT here in the Northwest! Don't like being so far from that lovely GULF!

    I love the color of the house... and the house! :) The book is really good, too! (no need to enter me... I own the book)

    I am now wishing I was on vacation in that house! A lovely dream for my lunch-hour.

    Last week I was home ill and lonely. I spent the entire evening copying recipes from your site and listening to the music. It was a much greater healing experience than the prescriptions! Thank you for your dedication to the happiness and well-being of others.

    I can imagine standing on shining hardwod floors, holding the first cup of morning coffee close to my chest and gazing across a blue-green sea at windjammers tacking in wistful breezes that gently toss the simple canvas curtains in my matching blue-green sea home.
    Thanks for the 5 minute vacation. I love the sea but don't get there often enough. I would love to read the book. I have heard it's very good for a first novel.

    My house is blue, too but the color isn't quiet as coastal. What was I thinking? The ones in your town are definitely better blues.
