shabby apple contest winner and cute cats

My handsome Pablo

Thanks to all who entered the Shabby Apple vintage dress giveaway. Before I announce the lucky winner – please indulge me– I must share some photos of my adorable fur kids. Pablo is a bundle of energy– much in contrast to this tranquil photo. He actually whines –"wooooow-woooo-meow!" – each morning after breakfast until I pull out the laser toy. [Obviously, he has me trained.]

Bossa Nova loves to cuddle with me on the sleeping bag while we watch Project Runway.

Bossa Nova is Pablo's opposite. She likes chilling out and observing things [although she does answer to the call of the wild catnip gods.]

No matter how bad or busy my day has been, when I come home and unlock the door, these sweet kitties always manage to coax a smile to my face. Of course, we all still love and miss our Buttons. Sometimes, I still halfway expect to see her in her favorite corner. But we know she's in a better place.

Enough cute kitties, for now! The lucky winner of the Shabby Apple Tiber Dress is....drumroll....Adrianne B. Congrats, girl! Email me with your name, address, phone # [for package shipping only!] and size.

Be sure to come back and visit this weekend when I'll be hosting another fun giveaway!
And don't forget to preorder my new cookbook, Pies and Tarts with Heart: Expert Pie-Building Techniques for 60+ Sweet and Savory Vegan Pies. I can't wait 'til you taste my Key Lime Pie!
