As we get ready to say good bye to 2015 and hello to 2016 I have been packing and getting ready for closing on Junk Chic Cottage at the end of January.
 |
| Packing up and bubble wrapping my chippy's that I will hopefully have a new cottage to put them in soon. |
 |
| Lots of packing to do! |
 |
| Lot's of these boxes everywhere! |
 |
| The good news is that while I was cleaning, sorting, organizing and packing I found two of these wine purse's left from my girlfriend party. So lucky you. I am going to do a give away of these two bags. |
 |
| All you have to do is leave me a comment! Yep that's it! Easy Peasy! I will throw all your names in a hat (or most likely a moving box lol!) and will draw two out. So if you would like one of these cute wine purses just leave me a comment below. If you are a no reply blogger please leave me your email so I can get a hold of you if your name is picked. These are insulated so they would make for a fabulous lunch tote too. Every girl needs a wine purse right?!!!! |
 |
| As we head on down to Happy 2016 I want to wish all of you a new year full of wonderful blessings and much inspiration. Happy 2016! Kris :) |

Good luck with all the Fun packing!
ReplyDeleteWould love to win the cute pink wine purse! I was just looking at one yesterday!! So cute and fun! Happy New Year to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteTammy
Oh, the packing. I don't know what I worse, packing or unpacking. Just went through this last month. do you know where you are moving. It will be fun watching you decorate your new cottage.
ReplyDeleteOhh these are adorable! I would love to have my name thrown into the box! Ugh, packing! But doesn't it feel great to purge, esp with the new year starting! Best of luck!:)
ReplyDeletePacking up is never fun, is it? I don't know what it is, but every time we've moved, it seemed like every other box was marked "kitchen." I guess we have a lot of kitchen stuff. :) Can't wait to see your new place in 2016!
ReplyDeleteohhhh Happy Packing Kris and a very happy new year!
ReplyDelete:/ All your pretties packed away. Hoping for a nice and sweet transition I\to tour new cottage. I for one am looking forward to see you decorate it and make it home.
ReplyDeleteWine purse?! Guess I have been under a rock , never heard of it. I wouldn't mind my name being drawn at all :)
Happy New Year Kris.
Hugs, Gee
I, too, am in the middle of packing. The good thing for me is that I have no deadline. Don't know if that's good or bad. Am so anxious to see what the Lord has in store for you. I know you will make a loving home where ever you are.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year dear friend!
Judy
Thank you for the sweet giveaway I wish you and your family all the best in 2016.Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteOmg Kris my daughter would love one of these bags! To be quite honest I've never seen them before.
ReplyDeleteSooooo cute!
What a great giveaway - I would love a "wine bottle" purse. Good luck with
ReplyDeleteyour move.
Packing is kinda fun for the first box or two, then it becomes torturous is no time! I am hopeful you will find a lovely new place to call your own soon. Oh. Those. Wine. Purses. So darned cute! How kind of you to offer them in a giveaway. Thanks for the chance. Jane
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! Suddenly your move is R-E-A-L. It's going to be so fun to follow your adventure. Hugs, Nancy
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! End of January... Leaving the Cottage House...
ReplyDeleteAn Exciting Journey lies ahead!*!*! Endless possibilities!!!
Hugs - Jeanine
Oh, I need a wine purse!! I am excited to see your new place. I wish happy moving and smooth packing, been there several times in the past 5 years and am glad I am in my Cottage Wishes place! Di
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you do with your new home...it will be as beautiful as ever! Happy moving and unpacking to you!
ReplyDelete~Trisha
Kris
ReplyDeleteI'm praying you find a new home that is just what you want.
I'm confident you can turn any house into a lovely cottage!
Happy New Year-Kimberly
you have taught me something new, i appreciate that. i have never heard of a wine purse. i am guessing it is the size. but do folks really put a wine bottle in there? i would not put it past some folks, they love their wine & Virginians are wine lovers. i am a wine lover depending on the wine, but i have never put on in my purse before. hope you had a nice Christmas. hoping your New Year will be a great one. ( :
ReplyDeleteEnter me, jane97302@gmail.com. These are too clever. Never heard of them before!
ReplyDeleteKris I think our world needs the kindness that dwells in your heart to fill the hearts of all mankind. You my precious earth angel friend are rare and beautiful.
ReplyDeletexoxo
These are absolutely adorable! I know it is sad packing up your home, but new adventures are awaiting you both just around the corner! Love and hugs to you sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteThose wine purses are so cute - I loved them when you showed them in the post about your girlfriends' party! I don't envy you all the packing and moving, that's for sure. I did it 3 times in 4 years and I think that's why I am so adamant about being in this house for the long haul. A person needs to know where they are going to be laying their head next week and next month...the uncertainty is so stressful. I am thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers, sweet Kris. I know something wonderful will come up and you will create a new dream cottage wherever that may be. Big hugs - xoxo
ReplyDeleteOH Kris, I am probably your only blogger friend who is happy you are MOVING !!! Yay!
ReplyDeleteWhy am I happy? Because we get to see you transform all your chippy pieces and place them differently in a new cottage. And new is always fun is it not?
It will look and feel like all your beautiful pieces will be new pieces found all over again. Just like the big down size move Mary Alice just did, all her pieces I hardly recognize, they look so different in different placement in a small cottage that belongs in every magazine out there.
This is going to happen for you as well.
I so wish it were me now moving :)
As for your giveaway !! It's a good one my dear.
See you soon
Xx

ReplyDeleteI'm sure its a huge job packing up your house---you have so many pretty pieces and the chippy things--well they need special packing!! All the best.

I hope your search for a new home will be great. I cannot wait to see what you pick and how will you ever decorate it? suerwelsh@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteKris....SPARKLE and SHINE!!!!
ReplyDeleteKris, I know even with the hopes of a new home...leaving one you have loved thru the years is kind of hard to do. I think of you packing your lovely things and I pray you will be so thrilled in your new home. Where ever you go , your sweetheart, Terry , will be at your side. When you have the love of family, that is a great help in adjusting. I am wishing you a healthy, peaceful New Year. Love, Susie
ReplyDeleteI remember those Home Depot boxes all to well. We will never be moving again. This home is it for us. Take care of those beautiful chippy items
ReplyDeleteCindy
Yes I am another lady who wants to carry around my wine bottle in one of those cute bags
ReplyDeletePlease put my name in the hat
Looks like your packing is all in order
Happy New Year
Kris, good luck on your move. I'm sure your chippy's will look perfect wherever they find a home.
ReplyDeleteThe wine purse is darling and would love to own one.
Linda @ lindarubin@centurytel.net
Love you blog! What a fun give-away, I would love to win! Best wishes to all for a happy, healthy, prosperous 2016.
ReplyDeleteYou are a saint to pack up with such a great positive attitude!! The good news is....a new fresh canvas to decorate...my dream.
ReplyDeleteOoh, do I love that striped bag. Count me in!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Thanks for the giveaway! Can't wait to see what you do with a "blank slate" house. The process of starting over sounds almost overwhelming to me - good luck!
ReplyDeleteI always hate packing! I hope you find a wonderful new home. It is not an easy chore to move. I have done it 6 times now and this one is my last home! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOh, and the pink purse is cute!
Kris, I totally understand if your giveaway is not open to readers outside of the US. I just wanted to pop over to wish you a Happy New Year and send cyber hugs your way as you pack up and prepare to say goodbye to your beloved cottage.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Marie
Happy New year to you! And good luck on the move...Love the wine bags!
ReplyDeleteLeticia
Well, of course Kris, throw my name in the box :) I know this next couple of weeks are just going to fly by, I'm praying that you receive the news you are hoping for, regarding a special place to land! You are in my prayers, always! Love you, Cindy xoxo
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I've never heard of a wine purse....could they be used to sneak wine into a gathering? 😀
ReplyDeleteKris, while I don't envy you the job of packing up, It is kind of exciting to know that a new world will be opening up for you. I have never heard of a wine purse, but what a great idea to take your treats into the movie theatre and no one would be the wiser. Unless you were a guy alone!! Happy New Year my friend and my resolution is that you find another wonderful cottage soon..Judy
ReplyDeletewow, packing is a lot of work. Hope all the chippies make it to the new home safely. If it's not too late, I'd just love the pink one! Might as well be a wino in style !!
ReplyDeletenot a fan of packing moving boxes...but looks like an exciting year ahead for you
ReplyDeleteIt is so sad to see all your boxes all packed. But just think you will have a new home to put your mark on and I can hardly wait to see what you do. I know that it will be terrific. Hope that Terry gets good news soon. At least if you go to Florida you can have flowers all year long.
ReplyDeletewishing you and Terry Happy New Year. This year is going to be great for you! I know that you had a terrific Christmas.
Hugs dear friend,
Mary
Hi Kris,
ReplyDeleteThe Happiest of New Year's to you and your family! I hope that 2016 brings you some news of where you will land...I know it is hard being in limbo...but I also know that your next home will be just as beautiful once you put all of those amazing things from those boxes back out and add your magic!
Love those cute wine bags, so cute!
Happy New Year!
Hugs, Kimberley

ReplyDeleteLove your blog and Happy New Year! dalorson@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR Kris and best of luck finding your next dream cottage! Can't wait to see it! Thanks for the give-away on the cute wine purses.
ReplyDeleteHow cute are they? It's amazing what you find when you are packing up to move, Kris! I remember our packing for our move. After 21 years it was a lot of purging, donating, giving away ~ really thinking about what we were going to be bringing with us to a much smaller home. Seeing your boxes brings me back!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! And thanks for hanging around while I was gone. : )
We have a wine walk here in my town and this would be marvelous to carry around! Good luck on the move, I'll be watching your upcoming success!
ReplyDeleteGinene
The thrills of packing :) I don't envy you right now. We have moved 4 times in the last 7 years because of my husbands military service. No fun and sometimes a painful process! Many blessing for you and Terry Happy New year!
ReplyDeletedalotshaw@gmail.com
Hi Kris! Boy do those pictures look familiar! Good luck with your packing and closing! Continuing to hope and pray for a new job and new home soon! I love these little wine purses and will keep my fingers crossed! Hugs, Leena
ReplyDeleteOh my word! Looking at those boxes gives me hives ~ :) I moved so many times in such a short time and it's soooo much work. I'm offering you all the positive support and encouragement you might need. One thing I can say is that it affords us the opportunity to clear out, toss, donate, etc.
ReplyDeleteYou're always in my prayers for the perfect job for Terry as well as a delightful new home for you to create beauty!
xoxo
Pat
Too cute! Everyone seems to be doing some cleaning. Maybe I need to consider it too ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my, I know you have lots to pack! Hope it all goes smoothly.
ReplyDeleteThe blog are the best that is extremely useful to keep.
ReplyDeleteI can share the ideas of the future as this is really what I was looking for,
I am very comfortable and pleased to come here. Thank you very much!
