African Violets...and a Pendant Giveaway!

I bought a pink African Violet at the grocery store last night. It's going to live on my dining room table. I hope my cats don't eat it.


My plant needs a name though. Maybe I'll be less likely to kill it if I give it a name and treat it like a pet.

Devon says we should call it "Violet." Uh, boring.

But I can't think of anything better so I need your help.


----------CONTEST IS CLOSED 5/8/09----------

Leave a comment with your suggestions!

The best name will win their choice of any Scrabble tile pendant or small glass tile pendant from my shop!

Giveaway ends a week from today on Thursday 5/7/09.

Please include your email address in your comment so I can contact you if you win!

The winner will also be announced on my blog next Friday 5/8/09.

    The first thing that popped into my head was "Clementine". So, there you go!

    I had a great-aunt named Violet who everyone called "Tiny"-I think the nickname was derived from the "shrinking violet" thing-but she was anything but tiny-anyhow-call your plant Tiny and perhaps like my great-aunt Tiny, she will grow.:-D

    well, I am HORRIBLE at naming but when i first saw your pet, I thought of "Amaryllis" (also a flower but can be a name!), "Nova" or "Ramona".

    and i loooooooooove your pendants!

    Call it 'Honey Girl' that way she will know she is loved and will thrive.
