A San Francisco Gift-A-Way

Good Morning Blogging Buddies thank you for your kind words about my "Exchange Collection."  I am delighted that you enjoyed the snaps of them and how I have them displayed.  This morning it is a cool and damp - and we are going into an cool overcast weekend - or so the news this morning reports - we shall see tomorrow.   I think our plans are to get back into the swing of Estate Sales and Thrifting.  I really miss the search, even if I don't find anything, I do enjoy looking.
___________

Now on to the Gift-a-Way drawing - I have been thinking the last few days how nice it was to turn over the 600 Follower Mark and I think a Gift-a-Way is just the ticket...  

Anyone from any where may enter - just be a Follower (that's the reason for the GaW) and answer these questions in your entry on this POST Only....

1. Do you Like Coffee or Tea?
2. If its coffee you like - Light, Medium or Dark roast?  - and - beans or ground?
3. If it's tea you like, would that be Loose or Bagged? - and - any particular flavour?
4. If its some Chocolate - would it be Dark or Milk? With nuts and fruits or without?
5. Do you have a Favourite Colour?
6. Do you Like Pink, Grey or White Salt?
7. Your Favorite Non-chocolate candy would be?

Easy-peasy - I am going to tweak the package to be a....
 .....very San Francisco-esque Collection of things - so don't be afraid to enter.  I will take entries from today 1/6/2012 until next Friday, 1/13/2012 at about 2:00 PM PST - and then announce the winner on Monday, 1/13/2012.  Make sure that in your entry I have a way to connect with you if you win.
____________

I think that about wraps up the week.  Thanks for stopping by and for being such great folks!!!!!

Take care,
edgar

  9. Wowsers, Congratulations!!! I am a follower and totally understand why you have so many. Love checking in on your day ;). I would love to be entered in on the fun please.

    - I am a coffee drinker and prefer medium roasted beans. I admit, I like my grinder.
    - I LOVE dark chocolate with nuts.
    - My favorite color is green.
    - I have only had white salt, but now I am curious. I just may have to hunt some down.
    - I love caramel if I can't find chocolate. I would prefer it if it didn't stick to my teeth ;).

    Thanks again. ;)

  10. Congratulations, and what fun questions for your drawing! So...

    I am a follower - wouldn't want to miss your blog ever, even if I don't comment nearly often enough.

    Tea - loose when I can relax at home, bagged for work. Love many kinds, but especially chai.

    Dark chocolate, with or without nuts, and sometimes wrapped around caramel (though I must admit that someone else's response of ginger intrigues me - never heard of it in chocolate!).

    I love blues and greens - not so much "baby" shades, though, but more intense versions.

    Salt - like other responders, not so familiar with those non-white varieties, but would love to try!

    Oh, my sweet tooth can be less than picky, though I've loved caramels forever and sometimes actually crave a good gummy bear (a? oh, heck, it's the whole bag I want!) (but some brands aren't worth the plastic they're bagged in, just saying)

    Thanks for planning such a fun package!

  11. Congrats on your blog Edgar! That is quite an accomplishment!
    What a great giveaway!

    COFFEE definitely!
    MEDIUM ROAST, and BEANS. I grind my own!
    Chocolate - DARK, and pure without fruit or nits!
    Color - RED
    Pink Salt
    Mmmm Candy favorite - definitely LICORICE!

    ReplyDelete
  12. 600?!? WOW...congratulations Edgar.

    This is fun!
    * Coffee, dark roast, either ground or beans would be great

    * Plain dark chocolate

    * Oh that's a tough one...I'd have to say either blue or pink

    * I've never tried other salts than the usual white. Pink sounds wonderful!

    * Black licorice or something else in that line

    Even if I don't win I can't wait to see what the packaged giftaway contains!
    Have a wonderful weekend.

  13. I have followed your blog through my blog list for two yars now and have always enjoyed your posts.

    As to the questions:

    I prefer tea, loose, black or green.

    I enjoy Ghiradelli dark chocolate, plain, with nuts or with fruit.

    Deep forest green or rich russet are among my favorite colors. I am a former art teacher and, with the possible exception of pink, I never met a color I didn't like.

    Sea salt of any kind is fine by me ... though my cardiologist objects! Until I read your questions, I was unaware there were pink and grey salts.

    And my favorite non-chocolate candy is crystalized ginger or candied orange and grapefruit peel.

  14. Hi Edgar!
    Congrats on 600 followers -- that's great. And what a fun give-away (so happy I am now "permitted" to comment at work:)). Let's see:

    Coffee in the a.m. - dark beans; loose tea in the afternoon - herbal

    Dark chocolate for sure. With nutmeg or ginger...or anything or nothing!

    Favorite colour: blue -- turquoise or slate blues are favorites

    Pink sea salt!!

    Non-chocolate candy: anything gingery or minty and, of course, black licorice! Yummy

    What fun...keeping my fingers crossed.

    Milk chocolate butter creams.
    Pinks and blues.

  17. Congratulations on passing the 600 mark! What a fun idea for a giveaway! I'm definitely a follower!

    I'm a coffee drinker and love a good dark roast. My son gave me a grinder for Christmas so I've started using beans. As for chocolate, I definitely go with dark without any nuts or fruit. Looking around my house I would say I love rich fall colors the best. I've never tried any other salt other than white, but the pink or grey sounds interesting. My favorite non-chocolate candy would have to be caramel.

  21. Congratulations on 600 followers - your blog is obviously a lot more interesting than mine!
    Hope I can 'play' your game bearing in mind I have been spoiled by you already this year ;-)
    1. Coffee
    2. Light and ground
    4. Dark chocolate/nuts
    5. Blue
    6. Not tried the coloured salts but always happy to try them
    7. Any candies at all

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oooh, this is really exciting! To answer your questions, I am a coffee drinker and prefer ground light or medium. Plain milk chocolate is the only way to go! Favorite colors are any fall colors, orange, rust, gold, etc. Didn't know salt came in colors, so no preference, having only ever had white. Favorite non-chocolate candy are Hot Tamales and Starburst. Thanks so much for the chance to enter. You are an awesome blogger, and generally the first one I look at every day (but don't tell the others!!)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh fun! You have a whole lot of followers. lol! And it's a giveaway that's fun to do too!

    I go for herbal tea with honey in it. Can't drink caffeine.

    Love dark chocolate! Love nuts too, so nuts yes.

    Favorite color, hmmmm. Certain shades of green, certain shades of red. And blue. Does that count?

    I don't add salt to my food. If it's in there already, that's fine. lol!

    I think my favorite non-chocolate candy is probably a big, nutty PayDay bar. :D

    ReplyDelete
  24. Thanks for the chance. I'm already a follower.

    Hmmm...I prefer coffee over tea but love both. I love grinding my own beans for a fresh cup...medium roast.

    The only thing I like more than a good cup of coffee is chocolate....the darker the better (for medicinal purposes only, of course ;-) ). No added fruit, with or without nuts.

    My favorite color is blue (deep, country color).

    I've not been adventurous with salt other than liking to grind my own sea salt at the table.

    Non chocolate? Maple candy (like we used to get during sugar maple season when we lived in MI.)

    Good luck, everyone!

    ReplyDelete
  25. 600 followers is great, Edgar--I just reached that number myself this week :)

    I've been following you for a while so would love to enter your giveaway...

    I'm weird--I don't drink either coffee or tea, just hot chocolate once in a while!

    Chocolate--any and every kind! Love it with nuts, with fruit, whatever.

    Blue is the color I love the most.

    Pink salt--such fun!

    Favorite non-chocolate candy would be Dots or Jububes

    Thanks for the fun, Edgar--even if we can't all be winners, it's fun to read everyone's answers :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Well, throw me in the mix Edgar. I don't drink coffee or tea, I'm a Diet Coke gal :).

    I like milk chocolate with nuts, no fruit.

    Pink is my favorite color and I've never had colored salt but I'm betting the pink would be cool!

    I'm a big fan of Almond Roca.

    Congrats on your 600 followers Edgar - wowee!

    ReplyDelete
  27. 600?!? Congratulations on your blogging success. I'll jump into the fun on this one: Green tea - preferable bagged as I don't have a tea strainer. Chocolate? Yes! The darker the better with fruit and nuts (it's all about health you know?). My current favorite color is purple. Pink sea salt is a favorite - although The Hubs thinks it's weird. Non-chocolate candy? It's a toss up between gummy bears (but I'm kind of picky on brand) and Skittles.

    ReplyDelete
  28. What fun!

    I like tea, with the leaves bagged, in a large variety of flavors. Dark chocolate...yum. I love pastels, with blues or greens being my favorites. Colored salt? I guess mine might be grey, although I never realized it! Candy without chocolate??? That made me really have to think...I guess maybe something like cashew brittle.

    I love SF. I was lucky enough to be able to visit three times several years ago. It is my favorite big city...so much personality...and photos of the Golden Gate in the fog make my heart skip a beat.

    Love your blog and your stitching and your appreciation of things. Keep up the great work!

  31. Many congratulations of your blog!
    How original is your give away.
    I am a follower...please enter me.
    Let's see...
    I like both coffee and tea. I'm not one of those gourmet drinkers, just plain old coffee - light. As for tea, I'm a Georgia girl so it's sweet tea for me (bagged). Milk chocolate with nuts (caramel, coconut - I don't care!).
    I like soft shades of green, like sage and I also love red.
    I must be boring when it comes to salt - don't think we have any color but white around here.
    You mean there are other candies besides chocolate??!! Definitely a PayDay!!
    Happy 600!!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Congrats on having more than 600! I have been reading your blog for about a year but only just became a follower!

    Neither, I do love Hot Chocolate though.
    Milk Chocolate with nuts.
    Purple is my fav color.
    Salt, not sure on this one.
    non chocolate candy, probably cinnamon bears

    ReplyDelete
  33. Wow! 600!?! That's amazing! No wonder you are having a giveaway celebration!

    Here are my answers:
    1. I love both!
    2. Coffee would be medium roast, ground (we only have a k-cup machine)
    3. Tea - I would say bagged, becuase I wouldn't know how to fix it any other way
    4. DARK Chocolate....it's my favorite! Nuts are okay, no berries for me....unless it is rasbperry jelly in the middle!
    5. Purple
    6. Salt has colors?
    7. You mean that there is such thing as non-chocolate candy???? (Ok, ok, I would say lemon drops or something equally as sour.)

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    5.Red Licorice

    ReplyDelete
  37. Congratulations on 600! Of course I want to join in the fun. I'm an equal opportunity drinker so either coffee medium roasts and ground or tea bold flavors either bagged or loose. Chocolate should be DARK with additives. Favorite color would be shades of red leaning toward brick/terra cotta. As for salt, I've only ever had the plain Morton's type so any of them would be an adventure. Non-chocolate candy could be jelly beans, licorice, butterscotch, or maple. I do have a sweet tooth! Have a wonderful weekend and I hope the weather is cooperative for your thrifting.

  38. Edgar, congratulations on your wonderful blog's success! You are such an entertaining writer and I do enjoy reading your blog.

    I love tea-bagged. I love peach & raspberry flavors. Being a MS Gulf Coast girl, I love iced tea.

    Milk or dark chocolates with fruits are devine.

    I love beachy colors-blues, yellows, neutral tones and aquas.

    I know I like white salt. I have not heard of grey or pink salt.

    Non chocolate candy fave would be Juicy Pear Jelly Belly beans!

    ReplyDelete
  39. WOW 600 followers! Congrats. I am a follower. Tea for me. Black teas, loose or bagged. Any chocolate except white. Nuts and fruits only make the chocolate better. Pink is my favorite color. Love pink salt. Candy that isn't chocolate would be something fruity.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Ooh, a gift-a-way! I am a follower, and I'm glad you're still going strong with the blogging, because I read every post even if I don't often comment.

    Black tea, bagged. I ADORE Earl Grey, but all black teas make me happy.
    Royal Blue is my favorite color.
    I've never had a colored salt before. That would be fun to experiment with. I love milk chocolate and skittles, but I'm tried to lose weight before my wedding (don't you love how I managed to work my shiny new engagement into this comment?), so really, I should not have responded to those two questions at all!
    Thanks for the opportunity to win something!

  41. Congratulations! What a fun idea for a giveaway, and since I was born in SF, this one is right up my alley!

    Alas, I do not drink coffee - or tea. I drink Diet Coke but I am trying to cut back on that as well. I have no idea where I will get caffeine from...wait! Chocolate! I like milk and dark, with or without nuts. My favorite color is purple, and I have only used white salt. Non chocolate candy? Sweet tarts!

    Thanks for the chance!

  57. Doh! Trying again...forgot my favorite color last time, it's red or pink!

    Congrats! What fun to do a gift-a-way too.

    Black tea, loose or bagged doesn't matter really

    Dark chocolate, with or without goodies it's all good!

    Salt, well I've only had white but I'll try anything once.

    Non-chocolate would have to be caramels, cow's tails, butterscotch disks YUM!

    That was fun!

  60. Hello - oc course you have 600 followers, your blog is awesome! I am a follower and would love to be entered.

    I'm mostly a coffee girl, dark roast - used to be beans, now we mostly use our Keurig

    DARK chocolate (is this a trend?) - fruits are a nice addition

    Favorite color is nearly any blue

    Poor old provincial me, never had anything but white salt - pink salt sound nice

    Non chocolate treat - something minty - like Holland mints

    Thanks for the fun Gift away -

  61. 600 followers is definitely something to brag about. I only have about 40. If I'm lucky, I have 2 or 3 that actually leave comments.

    I like Green Tea. I've only had it bagged but you know but my husband is a tea fanatic so we have the capability to do loose tea. Or I used the K cup maker (cheating I know). If I have to add a flavor, I go with mint. White tea is good too. Throw in some nice raw honey and I call that a great cup of tea!

    Definitely dark chocolate. With nuts. Leave out the fruit

    I've always loved blue

    Salt comes in colors? I generally use kosher (Alton brown has converted me).

    There's candy that's not chocolate?! Just kidding. I like toffee.

  64. Congratulations on 600 followers, that is quite an achievement.
    I'm a follower and I'd love to enter the draw.
    I like coffee and tea, depending on the time of day.
    Coffee I prefer a dark roast, ground for my espresso machine.
    Tea, I love all kinds of black tea, but not fruit or herbal teas, and I'm lazy, so I use bags.
    Chocolate, the darker and more bitter the better, nuts are good, not so keen on fruit
    My favourite colour is teal.
    I didn't know they made pink or grey salt, intriguing.
    My favourite non-chocolate sweet would be toffee

  67. What a fun giveaway Edgar! Can't wait to see what you put together!

    Tea....loose or bagged....chai s my favorite...especially a chai latte! I don't drink coffee at all. Hot chocolate is a big favorite too!

    I love all types of chocolate...

    Not really a favorite...partial to reds, pinks and blues. Colonial/ shaker colors catch my eye.

    I've never seen pink salt, so let's go with that!

    I have such a sweet tooth...it's hard to pick one! Gummie bears and Swedish fish are good. Caramels and toffees too! And so on.... ;)

    Thanks again Edgar and congrats on the number of followers!

  70. This sounds like sooo much fun Edgar! Congrats on 600 followers. I am definitley one of that number and would love to enter your giveaway.
    So here goes:

    I drink both coffee and tea. I love loose tea especially chai and rooibos. As for coffee it's usually a light to medium roast and I will drink flavoured coffees.

    I love both milk and dark chocolates.

    My favourite colour is blue.

    Pink salt sounds like a lot of fun!

    Other than chocolate I prefer hard lemon candies and anything butterscotch.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I am a serious coffee lover! I like the dark roasts, and we usually buy whole bean, and grind it just before we brew a pot! I like milk chocolate, especially good with nuts. My favorite color is bright teal. I have never tried those salts -- what fun! Non-chocolate candy favorites are hard candies like Werthers - no filling, just creamy yummyness! Congrats on 600!

  75. Wow! 600 followers is a big deal! Congrats on a huge number! I am so happy to be one of those followers myself!
    I love coffee--medium roast--either ground or we do grind our own beans, too. I do love milk chocolate, and nuts are great in it! My favorite color is green because I think it goes with everything! I don't know much about salt except the round box with the little girl & umbrella...but I am interested to learn about a different kind! And I do love candy, especially fruity candy! (and really most any type candy!!) Thank you for a chance at a very special giveaway!

  76. I am a follower and enjoy your blog. Would love to win. I absolutely love both coffee and tea. I like dark roast coffee. I like most any kind of tea either hot or cold and usually use bags. I like dark chocolate. Cobalt blue is my favorite color (but I also like bright pink and red). I like any kind of salt and feel that it is one of the most important ingredients when cooking. Non-choc favs is caramel.

  87. Congratulations on 600 followers! I've been reading for years, and its been fun following your stitching, movies and San Francisco rambles.

    Coffee or tea, hrmm, I love both. If its coffee, medium to light roast, and I do both beans and ground. Tea, I love everything from a strong Irish breakfast tea to herbal infusions. I just don't like red roibos teas.

    Definitely a dark chocolate girl. Not too keen on nuts, but love fruit and chocolate together. Nuts belong by themself, cracked fresh from the shell.

    Red, definitely red.

    Pink, grey and white salt are all interesting. I even have some black salts, a red, and 2 different kinds of smoked salts. Can you tell I'm a foodie?

    Favorite non-chocolate food - marshmallows! Sometime I'm going to make some homemade ones.

  88. New follower! Yay..

    and well I like ice coffee, I also make my own cappucino out of instant coffee, nesquick, creamer and sugar, YUMMY!
    I do like tea too, more the fruit kind of teas. BAGS!
    I love DARK chocolate nuts are GREAT in them.
    Salt, I don't think I've tried gray salt, I have some pink sea salt from Denmark- where I was born and raised.
    Non chocolate candy- DANISH licorice, not the milk twizzler BLAH kind, no STRONG BLACK licorice!
    I guess I forgot my favorite color- BLUES, if not then reds.

  91. I'm so happy that so many have found the happiness that is your blog!! :)

    I think a city (or area-themed) give-a-way is such a clever idea!! (I'll pause to let your head swell a bit, just as it should!!) LOL :)

    Here we go:

    I love tea! I like bagged, mostly because I can take it on the go with me and have a cuppa most anywhere. In my neighborhood, I'm known as the "tea shop girl" - I love EVERY flavor! Surprises are always awesome!

    I love milk chocolate! (Probably because I've read dark chocolate is better for you - LOL)
    I love fruits and nuts along with my "chocolately" sin of gluttony. :)

    My favorite color is blue. Next is anything in the raspberry family.

    I LOVE pink salt. It's usually hard to find in these parts - but I think it's awesome!

    My favorite non-chocolate candy? Anything with maple! I love maple so much, I think I could be a Canadian citizen by default! :)

    Thanks again for offering such a fun give-a-way! Here's to more followers in your future!

  98. Congratulations on the milestone achievement. Your blog is wonderful. It doesn't surprise me so many love to follow your posts.
    In anwser to questions: I am not a coffee drinker, I prefer tea. I like bagged or loose, green or black. My favorite flavor is called Tibietian Tiger. It is a loose tea that my SIL gets at Gettysburg, PA as a tea shop. As to chocolate, I never met a chocolate that I didn't like. I tried pink salt once and loved it but have never gotten any since then. Not real easy to find here in Iowa.My favorite color is a toss up. It varies from time to time, sometimes pink sometimes blue. I really love all color in general, red too. And for non-chocolate candy, since February is coming I really like the conversation hearts.

    I like tea, bagged, Lady Grey and fruity flavors. But being a Southern gal, sweet iced tea is the best!
    Milk chocolate, plain or with fruit.
    Favorite color is burgundy.
    I didn't know there was anything other than white salt, would love to try the others - is there a difference in taste?
    Non-chocolate candy - Orange Slices or caramels.

  116. I don't drink coffee or tea, but I make my own herbal blends from spearmint, orange zest, cherry bark, and other ingredients.
    Chocolate is always dark! I love truffles - except not coconut.
    Green rules the world. I didn't know salt came in colors, but I use potassium chloride because of a potassium deficiency. They make non-chocolate candy????

  118. I'm a medium roast coffee bean drinker. As for chocolate, I'm not a chocolate lover like some, so if I do indulge I like the dark with nuts/fruits to add interest :). I love caramels for candy or anything orange and lemon flavored; nice and chewy. Salts? I've never tried the colored stuff, can't get it here, but I have converted to sea salt in our home but it's usually just the white kind I guess. Would love to try the others and see the differences. Fave color has bee ferny, moss greens but I'm adding aquas to those base colors now for zing!
    Congrats on going over the 600 mark..I joined today too!

  137. Since I have been a lucky winner of one of your giveaways before, I would love another shot at the big prize! I definitely am a big follower of your blog, so here goes...
    I like coffee, light and ground, the weaker the better.
    It must be milk chocolate with fruits and nuts, more the better.
    My favorite color is black, although some say it is not a color, but anything against black pops.
    I love white salt, but would love to try gray.
    Of course chocolate is king, but if I had to choose something non chocolate, I would choose those horridly colored sugared fruit slices, nuts I know.

  143. Edgar - something happened in blogger and some of the people I was following somehow got dropped off my list. I have only just re-found you again and I want you to know that I have missed you, whether I win your lovely sounding giveaway or not. I prefer coffee, medium roast, but when I'm sick, I drink tea and like the bagged variety with some zing in it, particularly orange bits. YUM! I LOVE me some dark chocolate. We have a chocolatier in town who makes the nicest bon bons - I like the ones filled with liquids! My favorite color is RED and I am very dull about my salt; white idodized will do me just fine. In fact, I once had a piece of chocolate that enrobed a piece of chewy caramel and was dashed on its top with crunchy white sea salt. And oh, boy was THAT good! I love hard candies; especially those lovely French ones that come in the tins. Hmmmm I feel like I need to go get something sweet now!
