The winning comment for my Classic Enamel House Sign Free Giveaway from Ramsign is Sharyn Sowell from Mount Vernon WA, USA. Congratulations Sharyn (comment #4). Please contact me so I can forward your information to the company.
PS...I just went back and read her comment. Aren't you glad she won the sign? I know I am.
"Oh, how amazing! And how I'd love one of those signs. I am on the opposite side of the country but can't resist telling you my story about a cottage and a sign. We are bidding tomorrow on a cottage by the lake... it has been a secret dream of mine for more than 20 years. The 1915 cottage is completely derelict and absolutely forlorn which is how we can afford it. I won't bore you with the details but whether I win or not I think that sad little place needs one of these beautiful pieces as a sign of hope. There is restoration on the way for this ruin of a cottage that has been unloved for so long and is filled with garbage. A lot of elbow grease and sweat are ahead but someday I hope that I, too, will be content in a cottage! Thank you for this post. It's lovely."
UPDATE FROM SHARYN: I am back to tell you, Rosemary, and your sweet readers, that you are part of my dream come true. This afternoon (oh, could it really happen?!?) we learned that the offer was accepted, the little home in the woods will soon be ours. The sign will read "Hope Cottage." Rosemary,you wrote me this morning "Here is your sign of hope." Thank you, thank you, thank you. You were right. Literally.

Rosemary, I've got a smile on my face and a lump in my throat. You can't possibly know how much this means to me. Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! When this is over I will send you photos and tell you the amazing and unlikely story. You are part of the dream coming true. I am touched and thankful. What a gift. Thank you for being a sign of hope for me and my family.
Your winner is spot on, Rosemary. How exciting for her that this is part of their dream come true.
Congrats to Sharyn!
Congratulations to Sharyn, she was meant to be the winner.
Sharyn is a very good friend of mine, a fellow artist, and this is truly a dream come true for her and it's all coming together in ways that are truly wonderful!
Those are just gorgeous signs! My husband and I both loved them! I think the right person won!!!!
You're right, Rosemary; Sharyn deserves this sign! Sharyn, congratulations and best of luck with your little cottage!
Sharyn, I am exceedingly happy for you and the cottage you are about to rescue.
