Spot The Mistake - We Have A Winner!

First of all, let me just say you are ALL over-achievers! You never fail to find mistakes even *I* did not see, and I thank you for that. No, really!

The one mistake on which *I* was focussed was the it's instead of its in this sentence:

I spied this dress in one of the tents and needed to take it's picture.

Other than that, you guys also found these boo-boos:

--> (Was that a redundant statement? Is anal-retentive hyphenated?
I left off the ending parenthesis. ACK!

-->I used to grow these, but mine were green, not purple on the outside.
Missing comma after not purple.

--> missing apostrophe from Maters and taters
You know what? YOU ARE CORRECT and I am horrified! All these years I have been abbreviating those words and not inserting the requisite leading apostrophe! OMG, I am so ashamed.

--> the offerings and quantities of veggies is beginning to wane
Should be are beginning to wane. CORRECT! I missed this one, too. *hangs head in shame*

And a few Nice Try's, but NOT mistakes:
--> Butternut vs Buttercup squash
--> Acorn vs Buttercup squash
Nope. When she said Buttercup, I asked "Butternut?" and she said no, Buttercup.

NOW, to pick a winner. At this moment I'd like to give you ALL something for being so NICE and for reading this blog in the first place, but alas, I only have one item selected this time, so there can only be one winner. And I select ... drum-roll, please ... oh, the tension is building ... ... ... Zanne! YAY! Who-hoo! The crowd goes wild!

Zanne - please send me an email with your mailing address and I'll get your goods in the mail!

Thanks for playing, everyone!
