Earlier today I mentioned on Twitter that I had taken a screen shot of 3,999 followers and a few minutes later I had 4,002! In order to celebrate such a big milestone I'm offering this fun print from one of my favorite Etsy artists, Pretty Little Thieves, to one lucky commenter as a way of saying thank you for reading! I truly enjoy the company around these parts and am so thankful for the positivity that you bring through your comments, e-mails, and tweets.
To have a shot at this lovely little print leave your name and how long you've been a reader/follower of Smile and Wave. I'll choose a winner at random on Friday.
You guys are the best.
xoxo,
Rachel

Not sure of the time...but no matter...i just want to say congrats to you and your 4000!!! Whoo Hoo!!! :)
I've been reading for a few months now! I'm so happy that I've finally discovered smile and wave! I get so excited to read every post!
I actually had the privilege of meeting you a few weeks ago, I'm a friend of your neighbor, Rachel. I sat to your left at einstein for breakfast. You are just as darling and sweet in person!
Well I'm Erin, and I would say....maybe almost four years ish? Way back when it wasn't Smile and Wave!
By the way. This print is me, with all my guy friends! They are all so tall and they like to see how high I can jump.

Congrats! 4,000 followers... that amazing! (:
4,000 followers is so awesome; way to go! I've only been a follower for a very short while, but I've quickly fallen in love with your blog!
I don't remember exactly when I first found your blog.. but it was well over 3 years ago. And when I first found you I read every post in your then much smaller archives. I kind of feel creepy knowing so much about the life of someone I've never actually met, but I guess that's the beauty of the internet. Congrats on your milestone! I'm sure 5K will sneak right up on you. :o)
I don't know how long I have been reading but you blog was still bling on my sewing machine when I started. Probably sometime in '08?
4,000 followers are awesome. Congrats.

I've been following you since just before Christmas, I believe. Love vintage and therefore love your blog :-)
I added you to my Google Reader yesterday having found a link on someone else's blog I love your aesthetic and expect to be following you for a long time to come.
It's funny because I started following you via google friend connect but have been following you at least since I took the online Pretty class you and Elsie taught (was it last spring?)
I've been actually following you for not that long, but reading for going on 2 years, I think.
I love love love love your blog, you are at true inspiration :)

hmm, i've been following your blog for about a year and half. pre-ruby :) love it!
Well done! I am new to the blog world. I have been following you since I set up a blog just over a month ago. After reading my friends blog Treacle and Ink I decided to start my own and when I tried to see if I could come up on a google search I somehow ended up here at Smile and Wave and loved it, so you were one on the first I followed and still one of my favorites.

Love the planting post above!

Hi Rachel! I'm very new to your blog...only been reading for a few weeks (I happened upon your blog while looking for paper pom pom templates for my daughters deb ball). I have to say I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!! You've inspired me!I've always liked vintage things, but now I find myself on a constant "lookout" for finds to make my house more beautiful....this past weekend I scored a 300+ piece set of vintage china for only 25$...my family thinks I'm nuts,but now we're able to enjoy a bit of luxury eating off of "the good stuff" everyday! Thank you for the inspiration and the fun!
Congratulations! I have NO idea how long I've been following you! LOL! I found you from Elsie's blog, I think....a couple of years ago....
Congrats Rachel! I've been following for just 6 months but you've quickly captured my heart! You are an amazing writer/crafty lady/vintage mama and I'm so pleased to be a part of Smile and Wave. Here's to the next 1,000 followers :)
