Well I'm up to 50 followers so I'd like to say thank you so much to all who read my blog and especially those who take the time to comment. Lives are so busy these days finding time to blog and comment can't come to the top of the priority list as often as we might like but I really do appreciate each and every one of you! So, to show my appreciation I've decided to do a little giveaway. First, a lovely Emma Bridgewater tin. I liked these so much when I saw them I had to buy two - one for me and one for my winner!
A piece of lovely printed paisley velvet and some original chemist labels from a shop in Nottingham before it closed down years ago. There are 10 labels in the packet.
A couple of my padded coat hangers with vintage button trim - these are made in a Liberty fabric called Hera designed by Arthur Silver in 1887 and still one of Liberty's best selling designs. I have to say its one of my favourites too.
Some notelets with vintagey images.
A chocolate scented candle (smells edible!), some vintage ribbon and a little white broderie drawstring bag.
Everyone of my followers will get an automatic chance to win and everyone who leaves a comment will also get a chance. If you also link back to me on your blog then I'll put your name in again so that you have an extra chance (let me know you've done that!)(So you could get 3 chances in all!)
To make it a bit more interesting please mention two other blogs you enjoy and then we can all enjoy following up those links...! I'll leave the giveaway open until the evening of Sunday 8th Novemebr when I shall get the gorgeous girl to randomly pick the winner.
Good luck and have a great weekend.
Love Wend

I'm in! And for two other blogs I enjoy (what a good idea) I'll nominate a recent discovery, Helen James Design (http://helenjamesdesign.blogspot.com/), and Shell Sherree (http://www.shellsherree.com/) for her lovely name and beautiful drawings.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway! There are lots of blogs I love so I have just chosen two from my list at random - Dottie Angel and Red Gingham. The links are on my list on my sidebar - but all of the blogs on my list are great. I have also become a follower. May I take one of your photos to use as a button for the giveaway on my sidebar - or will you be making your own button?

Hey I'm no good at the links thing either folks - just happy to discover some new eye candy! Don't worry about getting technical - just the name will do.
ReplyDeleteWow what a great giveaway. Hope I win! Two of my long list of blogs could be Menopausal Musing http://menopausalmusing.blogspot.com/ always something clever and funny and Third Age Musings at http://jilltaylor-thirdagemusings.blogspot.com/ if only for the lovely marmalade cat which graces Jill's banner! It is hard to choose and I wouldn't want to offend any of the bloggers I follow though.

Chemist labels, LABELS, gotta have those labels, lol! What a fabulous giveaway, I am so glad you popped over to my blog and let me know about it.

I shall pop myself into your followers thingy, and put a link onto my blog as well. Fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteSorry, dang, I totally fogot to name two blogs which I enjoy, got too carried away with the labels, lol. Here goes, they might be new to you gals - hollylovesart.blogspot.com ( the most outragious and gorgeous aprons you have ever seen ) and rosegardenromantics.blogspot.com. Having named those two, I have to add though that I love ALL the blogs I follow, they are all special in their own way.
ReplyDeleteThank you for entering my giveaway - I love yours - please please put me in! - The chemist labels are brilliant - I would put them on my old chemist bottles!!!
