Continuing in the hobbit tradition - it's my blog's birthday, you get the present. The things I give away are a bit random. Not unlike my blog. They represent the spirit of Curious Acorn and what you'll find when you visit here. My most favorite thing about blogging is the friendships that I have made. My love languages are gifts and words of affirmation. You've probably guessed that by now. So this is my way of saying thank you for all that you have given.
The lucky winner will receive a blackboard wall sticker and retro "tea revives you" coasters brought back from my trip to New Zealand, a box of old school blackboard chalk from Germany, a tin of black currant tea, a box of black currant candies from Australia...hmmm - are you noticing a theme here? Also a lovely cup from which to sip your tea, and last but not least, my favorite lip balm--Smith's Rosebud salve. I dig the olde time pharmacy graphic on its tin. Oops, I almost forgot - the antique French postcard pictured above will also be included. 
I popped in this picture of my own blackboard sticker on my kitchen wall to show you that it can indeed be written on with chalk
To get your name in the hat, all you'll need to do is leave a comment. If you're a lurker who has never commented before, introduce yourself for goodness sakes! Deadline is this coming Friday, July 20th at 8:00PM EST. I'll mail the prize anywhere - it's a small world after all.

What a delightful assortment of gifts. It is charming and reflects you as your blog does....But I already won your daughter's giveaway, so I think perhaps I shouldn't be included in this one, even though I couldn't resist commenting. I used to always buy black current tea in Hungary, but I don't find it often around here...It's great! I indulged this year by buying myself a tin of Harney & Sons Diamond Jubilee Tea.
Oh, and did I forget to say, "Happy Blogiversary"? I think I did, so let me say it now!
HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kristi, and any one else, you are welcome to jump in, even if you won before. :)
So thankful for YOU and your blog! Happy birthday "Curious Acorn"! (I think of you often, especially when I see my Wyeth print in my bedroom!)
Happy Bloggy Birthday (or Blogiversery :-) I am not sure how I found you, but I enjoy each and every post so much. Thank you for sharing your life with us, and giving us a glimpse into your world with your words and images.
I'm delighted when I see you in my Google Reader.
God bless -- and please enter me into your contest. IF (big if!) I win, you can mail it to my State-side address :-)
Happy Blogiversary, Jodi. Is it really three years? What a joy they have been for us as readers!

Happy Blogiversary!!! I enjoy your posts and look forward to them.
It is is always nice to find others who celebrate their birthdays hobbit-fashion :)
Everything looks so neat, and the blackboard sticker is so cool!Please count me in :)
Happy Bloggy Birthday!
i remember how i found you. via holy experience. i first commented on a post about perspective, and i thought, cool beans. a young hip ARTIST christian gal. i might learn something from this one (and i did), and i like her blog, i am going to comment and follow. by your profile pic at the time i thought you were like 30. then you started posting about grandbaby, and i am like what!?- this doesn't make any sense.
i would like to be entered in the drawing. i like you a lot.
Jodi, happy blog birthday! I love your blog and you. So so glad that I somehow found my way here a few years ago. I love the gifts...they are so you. YOU are a blessing!!!
A very happy Blogiversary to you and the Acorn! I have so enjoyed getting to know you, my fellow-hobbit. May you have many more years in blogdom! I cherish your happy posts and encouraging comments. <3
I love random. I love you. So happy that you blog and that I found your blog. You truly are a kindred spirit (which JoAnn won't understand cause she's never read Anne. But I still love her anyway)
And I love, love LOVE that chalkboard wall sticker do-wa-diddly. Happy blogiversary!
Happy Blog Birthday, Jodi! I'm so glad both you and your words here were born. :)
I'm thankful to have discovered your blog - it's one of the few I read regularly... :o) So a very happy blogiversary to you, and thank you very much for the giveaway! I'm loving those birdies! :o)
Hi Jodie,
I would so love to win your giveaway. Everything sounds so like you,my friend.
Smiles,Dottie
Delurking here to say hello and how much I enjoy your blog (not so much for the giveaway, although to win would be nice.) I found it not too long ago and am slowly going through old posts. Thanks for writing and sharing.
Hello! I am new to your blog but have enjoyed it immensely.
Thanks for the great ideas and for sharing your thoughts. Blessings.
Happy blogiversary. Three years of fun, art, recipes, ideas and fabulous thoughts. Yeh! What's not to love. Here's to the next year.
Ooooh, I would love to win, Jodi! My favorite tea, a lip balm I have heard of but never tried, that lovely cup. . . Happy Blogiversary, Jodi! You and your witty prose are pure delight :)
Happy birthday dear Curious Acorn,
