Giveaway, etc.!


You know, it is hard to beat Etsy for pillows!!  I love the
selection at




fitting name for a milk & honey giveaway!

Please check out her selection of beautiful pillows.

Simply comment about what chore you hate the most.  I'll start:
putting on fitted sheets!  You have until this Saturday morning to post.
(sorry...only for you in the US and Canada)


Okay, this is the total opposite of a giveaway, but I thought
one of you may want these chairs before I sell them
elsewhere.  

I have six of them, and I love them, but I really don't have need for
them now.  They are antiques and have been painted in Heirloom
White paint, distressed a little, with great blue zebra fabric on seats!
$50 each....take one, two, three, whatever.  (email me if you want
them.  I live in the Atlanta 'burbs  julie(at)milkandhoneyhome(dot)com)







the same chairs you see here:

  6. I love vacuuming but hate doing the stairs, the chord always gets caught around things. The worst of the worst (so I consider it a chore) is getting an oil change....go figure I am overdue.

  7. My least favorite chore is rinsing out the water bowl for our cute dog, Lottie. She has lots of fur and gets her food in the water and the bowl gets slimy - Yuck!

  10. What a great pillow selection. I'm glad you introduced me to Milk & Cookies. My least favorite chore is washing all the little reusable containers and lids that my kids take in their lunches. There are sooo many of them (containers and kids)!

  11. Laundry..... loathe it.... I start it and let it sit for a few days. Then I forget it is in the washer so then it smells. Then I have to do it again. Then it finally makes it in the dryer, sits there... run the dryer again because now it is wrinkled. Then it makes it to the basket after a day... and sits... until that is empty because now I am using it as a closet. Then the whole process starts over again..... LOVE the pillow! So cheery! Great give away! Thanks Julie! :)

  26. I'd have to say cleaning the bathroom! HATE it. Took a look at the pillows and there are so many beautiful designs. Definitely something to suit everyone's style. Wish I loved closer. I love those chairs and they're a great price too.

  27. Hi dear,

    Not much complaining here until I need to put away neatly folded clothes for a family of 5! It is that final step that drives me nuts. I would pay someone to help me come up with a better strategy!

    Went to Milk and cookies -- so many beautiful designs! My favorite is the New Handmade Pillow Case -- Suzani print.

    A warm hug to you.

    ox, Mon

  28. Cleaning bathrooms - esp. my teenage boys' toilet! Now I make them do it - yay!

    Love the giveaway. Great pillows - and I am a pillow junkie. Never enough....

    ReplyDelete
  29. The chore I hate the most is putting the duvet cover on the duvet after it's been washed...especially if I have to do it alone. However, Martha--the brilliant domestic-- taught me a trick with safety pins for getting the job done by myself.
    Love your giveaway...now you'll have to check mine out...

  30. Cleaning windows...which is never ending because my pup insists on shoving his face against any and all windows in the house. And the glass coffee table. And my full-length mirror. Ugh.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hello! Such pretty pillows. My least favorite thing to try and clean are floors with grout! I'm sure a man came up with the idea of grout! It is so hard to get perfectly clean!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Cleaning the shower. There's just no way to do it without getting wet in the process.

  37. I despise anything to do with bathrooms. I'd rather wash and fold 50 loads of laundry than clean a toilet!

    Love the pillows!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I absolutely hate folding fitted sheets, I only do it every so often when I have the urge to re-organize my linen closet, but it's still dreadful every time!

    Love the pillows!

    My least favorite chore is cleaning the shower/bath tub. I never can seem to get my 40-year-old bathroom cleaner no matter how hard I try.
