Featured Sponsor - Loretta Hayward of Garden Gate Cards

1:48 PM, Sep. 9, 2007

If you haven't seen these notecards before, then you are in for a treat! Garden Gate Cards, owned by Loretta Hayward, offers the cutest pictures of rabbits in various settings and seasons. Our two lucky bloggers, chosen by Tia (to choose our winners, I guess Tia will just pull a couple of bunnies out of a hat - LOL!), will get to choose their gift from the following choices:

** GARDEN GATE NOTE CARDS **

A boxed set of Garden Gate’s beautiful note cards. The Rabbit Park  set has a 10 card variety of Garden Gate's rabbits  dressed as sailors, pilots and in other amusing poses .  These note cards are great inspiration for writers of all ages. Garden Gate note cards are incentives for using various writing  skills to send messages of cheer, important news, as well as loving wishes and words from the heart All of Garden Gate's note card pictures feature real roses, ivy, and gardens along with adorable bunnies posing in heirloom stitched pinafores, aprons, bonnets, made especially for them! All of Garden Gate products are made here in South Carolina!  Garden Gate Cards are perfect for any age and any occasion!

Here is a bit about the cards from Loretta, "Here at the Garden Gate Rabbit Park in South Carolina, USA, our family raises prize winning rabbits. Our rabbits have pedigrees too!( Imagine that!) We got the idea of placing the rabbits in some very interesting settings; but photographing rabbits can be quite a challenge especially when  the neighbor’s dog comes over for a visit, or a clumsy skink drops in from the tree branch over head!  We never know when the flower garden “setting” is going to become rabbit lunch. The more pictures that we take the more we have noticed that our flowers seem to disappear! You can now see the results of our work in Garden Gate Cards. We have a variety of beautiful, note cards featuring our adorable bunnies!"

I personally have two sets of these cards  and they are larger than most, measuring 5 x 7, which gives me lots of room to write a note to a friend. To view the adorable bunnies featured in these cards, click here. Are you like me and never have a blank card handy for those last-minute gifts you need to give? These cards are perfect to attach to presents or mail to someone needing a mood boost! Or maybe you  sometimes need to give a quick gift in a jiffy ... well, head on over to Garden Gate Cards and buy several boxes of these cards to have on hand for last-minute gift-giving.

.... or a copy of their new book ....

** ON THE BANKS OF DURBIN CREEK **

Text on back cover:

On the banks of Durbin Creek, it is bedtime for the bunnies at Garden Gate Rabbit Park!  This is one unique book with bunny tales that will spark the imagination and delight the senses. While our real rabbits are telling the story, real surprises and enjoyment are in store for the whole family! The amazing and amusing color photographs by Loretta Hayward are exceptional illustrations for all of the poems, verse, and stories that will be enjoyed by everyone.  Garden Gate bunnies will also be an educational benefit to younger children as they learn several reading readiness skills throughout this remarkable book! 36 pages in full color.
