It's a momentous blog-casion for A Dose of the Delightful: my first giveaway! When the super nice ladies at Shabby Apple invited me to host a giveaway, I was thrilled - and I'm even more thrilled to finally share it with you. If you've never been to Shabby Apple, it's chock full of dresses & skirts that are flattering, stylish, and reasonably priced. I particularly love the Inca Trail and Set Sail collections.
