Summer Song Contest Number Three

Okay, I hope everyone is ready for contest number three, this one is going to be a little trickier, but I have confidence in all of you.

This week I am asking you to name as many songs as you can with a state in either the title or lyrics. I have come up with 35 well known ones so far but am having some problems finding all. The best part is that they don't have to match mine!

This weeks prize consist of this sweet butterfly print on canvas, fuzzy couture dachshund purse (love on a leash) two of our very best selling candles (warm home and pineapple slice) glass bird paperweight and 3 handmade cards by our own Jeni Harmon.

So get on your thinking caps...this will give you up to 50 chances to be entered.

Good Luck

Remember to comment on this weeks blog with your guesses in order to be entered or email me at theplumtreeantiques@yahoo.com

Good Luck

And the Winner is...

Okay, the first part of our Summer Contest has come to an end. I asked Sharon my long time friend to do the drawing to be fair and square.

I am not sure if a lot of our readers realize they can post a comment even though they do not have a blog, so I got a lot of emails with the songs as well and that is fine, but just know you can always write a comment under Anonymous as long as you sign your name.

I appreciate all of you playing along it was a lot of fun and one of the songs I did not think you would get a few of you did. That song was Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows this is a real oldie.

Don't forget our next contest starts Wednesday and the details and prize photos will be posted then.

The winner of the SUNSHINE Summer contest is ...Faye K.

Faye if you will send me your email address or phone number so that I can get your mailing information.

Congratulation

Happy Father's Day

Well our first Summer Contest is coming to a close. The drawing will be the 22nd and the winner will be announced.

For all of you who have entered, thank you for taking the time to play along, everyone had at least one song correct so all of you will be in the drawing.

Our next summer contest starts Tuesday June 24th, the new word will be announced then.

Stay Tuned!

Cindy

To all Dad's out there, have a wonderful, relaxed Father's Day!

Exciting Summer Contest

I am excited to tell you about a contest we will be holding all summer long with wonderful prizes to brighten your day.

The rules are simple...

Every two weeks I will pick a summer word and 5 songs which that word will be in. The word could be in the title or in the lyrics.

I will send out the blog with the word starting this week

You will try to figure out which songs I have chosen that contain this word and comment on the blog with your selections.

If you get one song right you are entered once, and for each additional song you guess correctly you will be entererd up to 5 times.

I will post the songs I have chosen on my playlist at the end of two weeks and if you are entered, you just may win.

This weeks word is SUNSHINE

And the prize is this beautiful handmade sunshine garden stake in yellow, red and orange.
It measures 26" across and has a stake which makes it 70" high. A great addition to your summer garden.

Drawing for this prize will be held June 22nd

The Plum Tree blog is supposed to be something where I can show you what new pieces we have as well as what is going on in our little town, not to get on my soapbox. However, this month has been a little more then fun for me.

Remember a few weeks ago I showed you a photo of four adorable little kittens that were born at the Plum Tree. They were the result of someone that does not take proper care of her pets. Well another kitten was born as the result of another cat of hers that is not spayed. He was probably born a few weeks earlier then the other four who's mother was killed.

The other four I surrendered to a kitten rescue where hopefully they will get good homes. This irresponsible pet owner has one more that will be having kittens any day if she hasn't yet. Of course she has a few males of her own as well as every male cat in the county hanging around.

The statistics are staggering on strays and cats that are not spayed or neutered. An adult female cat can reproduce up to 4 times per year, with an average of 1-3 kittens. 97% of those kittens will be female. They can start family's as young as 7 months. Spaying can be done at 4 months and discounts can be gotten through your local veterinarian.

I did not want another cat, nor do I need another one, however when you look into their sweet little faces and know what their life would be if you were to let them alone to spread disease's and die an untimely death the answer is very clear.

Meet Freddie

Please everyone, spay or neuter your pets
