Dearest Readers of Sweet Eventide,
Last Friday, I realized that with my ode to Farm Fresh to You, I had hit my 1,000th post! All weekend, I’ve been trying to figure out how I want to celebrate this milestone. It occurred nearly 4 years and 6 months to the day from my first blog post: Just Start.
I may not always be consistent with a posting schedule, and I may not always be cheerful, but writing for the community of readers I have grown in this space is one of the greatest sunshines in my life. Truly!
To thank you for your loyalty, I will have a little giveaway of my work! Your choice from my
Print Shop or my
Postcard Shop. There will be a few little surprises in your package also — handpicked Jess favorites. To enter, leave a comment and please share with us why you return to Sweet Eventide, a favorite post or a favorite photograph that I’ve taken. That’s it! No tweeting or FBing required, unless you’re in the mood.

Okay, this giveaway is open until Friday, November 19, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. PST.
xoxo,
Jess
Psst! my 2011 calendar will land in my Etsy shop on Friday!
Rebecca Jean - WOW! Congrats on your 1,000th post. That’s a lot of zeros. And four years is a lot of blogging. A lot of beautiful blogging.

phaedra - Congrats on your 1000th post! That’s quite an accomplishment! I come back again & again because your photography always captures exactly how wonderful our every day world is. Your eye finds beauty in the commonplace & things taken for granted and it’s inspired me to really stop & take notice in a more meaningful way. All that being said, the thing that initially drew me to your blog was the name- Sweet Eventide is my favorite time of day as well.
Thank you for sharing your stories, good & bad days, and bringing beauty to my desktop (almost) every day!
