Well donkey dearies, it's too quiet around here.
Let's liven it up with either a rant or a giveaway.
Too tired to rant...plus I'm trying to be a good lil' donkey...so...a giveaway!
The exotic prize: Either a bottle of ROSE WATER or ORANGE FLOWER WATER! Depending on which I can get my hands on at the tiny lil' Asian market. Yes, the kind you can use in cooking! Put the word WATER in yer comment if ye care to enter, frens, otherwise sure enough I'll draw a name and get someone who didn't want to play and has no use for this sophisticated flavoring. I like to spritz these waters on my face in summer, too.
I'll draw the winner prolly Sunday night or somethin'.

Hello Holly,
I'll be enjoying the blue WATER of the Carribean in just about 2 weeks with hubby!
Hugs,

Enjoying this pretty rose while I sip on my water. Hope you are well my friend and getting ready to enjoy the weekend.....:-) Hugs
AHA! So that is how you keep your flawless complexion, it's that WATER! What a perfect beautiful rose there, mine here don't last long once the japanese beetles come, but I have one knockout rose bush and they never touched it at all so maybe I need to get more of those:) Enjoy your day sweet friend!
Remember when they used to sell rose water and glycerin together? Do the asian markets sell this combo? Back in the day, the "dime store" would carry this items...now the "dollar store" carries only junk from China...How things have changed.
Enjoy the beautiful day...my donkey fren
The promise of orange and rose WATER is very appealing Holly.
My roses have withered in the heat so its lovely to look at this one
I would love some rose water. Thanks for having this neat giveaway. I do so love roses. Sally
Well, right after reading this post, I must to water my straw bales!
Love your rose....I'm always looking for vintage roses on things now that the yard sales have begun again.....just for you!
Hey! Are you packin'? I told Jim that you were coming to visit him, and that you'd be packin'. I could actually imagine him "shivering" over the phone! He hee!!!!
I would love to be entered into your lovely little give=away! Now I am off to clean the WATER closet! (Am I telling my age? ;~} )
Blessings!
Water!! I added a little blurb to yesterday's post with a shout out to ya...hope that's ok and doesn't cause a donkey too many troubles.
love the Welcome photo Holly, it is beautiful. take care.
Water, water everywhere and well, you get the idea...we've had alot of rain in the last two days...great for the garden though and our "drought", our county is no longer in drought but the water company still raised the rates..go figure...
I love roses. Did you know that rose water is used in making .... are you ready?.....drum roll pleeeez, yep, MARZIPAN! But,.I've made it without! It's just an old German recipe that asked for the rose water in it. I've never done it that way, but I can just add almond extract to just about anything and make it taste like marzipan - I'm so addicted to that flavor, it's scary :-)
Have a nice day today and thanks for the frizzies!!!! (2 down, 1 to go)
Bye for now :-)
Darn. I do so enjoy your rants. But this giveaway sounds wonderful, because I love rose water, and orange water even more!
Ol Western Gal, Rosey here!

By the Still Blue Waters, Muddy Water, The Water Runs Deep, Bring Me Some Water, Water, Walk on Water, Hands Across the Water,Walking on Water, Smoke on the Water,Waterloo, The Bridge Over Troubled Water,Watermelon Crawl, Cool Clear Water....Which brings me to Wishing You a Happy Earth Day!!!!!!

I never used rose or orange water for cooking, this is really exotic to me!
Kisses and love from us.
Rose water or orange water, I love both! We got plenty of water in the form of rain this past week. The grass is turning green from it all. We'll take it!
Blessings,
Sandi
