Giveaway Winner And Show House Snaps.

Congrats to Kayduh - you are the winner of the Shabby Apple dress giveaway. Email me at hellogorgeousblog@gmail.com so I can get your pertinent info. Thanks for playing. And thanks to Shabby Apple for offering a gift to HG readers.

I've been meaning to post this for over a month but I've been too busy. My husband (dragged kicking and screaming) and I went to the Red Cross Show House in West Palm Beach in early February. The photos didn't turn out so well but I'll post the few that did for those wishing for a vacation and dreaming of early spring.

The outside space was one of my favorite things.

Here, a closeup:

The Master:

That's really it. Hopefully I'll be able to post about South Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach soon because there are antiques shops galore!! Dozens and dozens! And Mecox Gardens (which I took pictures of and some turned out so hopefully I can do a post soon). Also, S. Dixie Hwy. was featured in the current issue of Coastal Living. So grab one and take a look.

P.S. I never say snaps.

Last Day for Shabby Apple Dress Giveaway.

You may have seen their dresses on the Today show or in Marie Claire magazine...and you may see one in your own closet if you win this giveaway. Shabby Apple is an online dress boutique with a great, well-priced collection of dresses, swimwear, jewelry and aprons. Oh, yes, I said aprons. Remember, you are talking to the former pie queen of the midwest. Someday if you're good I will teach you how to make the best pecan pie ever.

I went to the Shabby Apple website, stuck in my thumb and pulled out a plum-colored dress. Love the classic style of Amethyst (with the boots!). The wrap-style suits all kinds of body types and the rich plum color suits everybody. Go take a look at their website here and leave a comment with your favorite dress or item from the website by midnight on Monday, March 14 and I'll select a random winner from U. S. readers next Tuesday.

While you're on the Shabby Apple website you'll notice there are reviews for the dresses, which is very helpful as well as a section helping you choose the best dress for your body type. You will also notice that they donate 5% of their profits to Helping Women Worldwide (read about it here). And because they're so awesome, they're offering 10% off any order with the coupon code hellogorgeous10off.

Also, if you go here and "like" S. A. on Facebook, you will be entitled to special discounts and promotions.

Happy shopping!
