First Day of Spring Giveaway

It's officially Spring, even thought it hasn't exactly felt like it here in Maryland. In honor of warmer weather I am hosting a needlepoint belt giveaway from one of my favorite local companies, Smathers & Branson. A needlepoint belt sure would make a great Father's Day gift.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

They have some fabulous new belt styles, like the state flags. I am partial to the Maryland flag. Good luck and happy Spring!
