Hey everyone! Welcome to Monday! (I know it is technically Tuesday, but yesterday was the first day of school and crazy crazy crazy, so for my sake, will you just pretend today is Monday? I even dated it as such to cut down on confusion. Sooo....)
Better than Monday, welcome to the return of the Great Monday Give! Today's give will be a surprise goody bag of at least three vintage books, maybe more. I can't tell you what the books will be, except that they will be awesome! To be entered to win this mystery package of awesome, all you have to do is comment on this post between now and Sunday, September 4 at 11:59 PM. A winner will be selected at random and announced the following day.
Good luck and godspeed to all the little school-aged children of the world!

Og I do sympathize with the weatherworn everywhere. Having just been through an unusual week of earthquake and East coast Hurricane, with all the elevated anxiety, sleeplessness, and hyper attention that entails - (http://mscomfortzone.blogspot.com/2011/08/extra-sunday-after-storm-post.html) - and come out the other side realizing it was a 'tempest in a teapot' for many of us, but still a disaster for some, I think it's time to take a chance in the name of young friends of mine who would be the recipients of this bounty were I to be randomly chosen. Kindly count me in for the extended give, and try Hot tea and a hot bath to cool down more effectively (grandma was right). By the way, coconut water is 5 times more hydrating than any other drink, and has a mineral boost to boot. Be well.
Love your blog! thanks!
I would love one of your mystery grab bags..what a treat.
It's 107 in Vegas if that makes you feel at all better.
I'm in! My kiddos would love it. Who am I kidding--I would love it more.
I follow you here and on tumblr and would love to win your mistery package! Greetings from Italy :)
