Happy Blogiversary!

What's It Wednesday #76

It's hard to believe that two years have passed since we first tentatively launched Ivy & Elephants. We were just two friends who happily chatted about our favorite blogs and marveled over the fabulous and creative designs we found there. This was a community of strong caring women living life to the fullest, and we wanted to be a part of it. Gratefully we were accepted and welcomed into the fold. Two years later I am happy to say that our little blog has flourished and we are blessed with wonderful and supportive friends all over the world.

To say thank you we're giving away two great books that we know you'll love. The first is “Paris Flea Market Style” by Claudia Strasser. If you know her first book, “The Paris Apartment” or her blog of the same name you know you won't be disappointed. To see some eye candy from the book and get a great review click on the link to Kim Hite's La Belle Époque Home.

The other is “Junk Style” by Melanie Molesworth. This book is filled with fabulous treasures artfully displayed and lovingly collected. For a sneak peek at the book check out The City Sage.

Again, thank you for all your friendship and support. Your words of encouragement are treasured and inspiring.

Good Luck!

Patti & Paula
