A favourite blog find of the last week or so is the beautiful dandelion and olive, and true to form there is a giveaway going on at the mo, with a chance to win one of these lovely necklaces, which can be seen along with other gorgeous handmade silver jewellery in their Etsy shop here....
Although I don't feel particularly in need of extra luck at the moment (see previous posts regarding winning giveaways - 3 last week!) I would have to choose the horseshoe, partly because I love the texture of the silver, and partly because my older boy is slightly pirate obsessed, and would snaffle the anchor away at the first opportunity!
I was a bit worried that people might think I was being cheeky entering more giveaways after my winning streak, but several lovely bloggers have sent very encouraging messages, and Col at hello olive thinks I should enter every giveaway and competition going and see how much I can win in a year! So I shall carry on, and will probably find that last week was just a freaky cluster of lucky moments, never to be repeated, which is fine - although if I win the horseshoe necklace it will be a great wearable reminder of just how lucky I feel right now, in many ways.
I don't really know what I expected to find out here in the blogosphere, but I have definitely been pleasantly surprised at what a truly friendly place it is! I am really enjoying discovering so many wonderful creative people, doing their own thing and sharing their creations and the challenges and joys that make up their lives. I hope you enjoy my own little contribution to the blogging universe, if you do and you're not following me already please join me, and when I get to 50 followers I will do a giveaway of my own and you will get the chance to choose a special piece of fabric or two from a selection of colourful mid-century textile treasure.
I hope you have a lovely day, thanks for stopping by!

Totally agree with Col, you should go for it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen - considering the loveliness of my winnings so far, I think I'll just carry on! Looking forward to seeing that Donna Wilson tea towel - I won't be using it, it's far too gorgeous to end up covered in tea stains! x
DeleteWell done, that's brilliant. Yes keep entering! I really love reading your contribution to the blogging universe! Giveaway sounds fab idea x
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement Caroline, I'm so glad people are enjoying my blog as much as I'm enjoying theirs! Don't know how long it'll take me to get to 50, but it just gives me time to buy more lovely fabric to share with the winners...x
DeleteHey- 50 followers will be very soon I am sure. I love reading you and really welcome your comments too. I think its great you have won some giveaways- great they went to a good home- enjoy it and never worry. Jo xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo, I am by nature a bit of a worrier - good to be reminded to relax and enjoy it! I love reading your blog and getting comments from you too. Ah, feeling the blogging love today, and it's good! xx
DeleteIt's all very well winning all these goodies, but where are you going to put them. I thought we agreed, one in one out!? Joking - good luck missus! x
ReplyDeleteI know, I'm terrible! And apart from the giveaways, I still can't keep out of charity and junk shops - haven't had a chance to photograph and blog my latest vintage finds! Lucky I didn't make it to the vintage fair on Sunday, it's getting a bit ridiculous. Hoping to spend a bit of time next week blitzing all the corners of my house full of lurking stuff that can be got rid of without pangs of regret. Have you entered the Holga giveaway? I'd love to see what you could do with that! xx
DeleteHooray, so glad you're going to keep entering giveaways! It's such a great feeling to win something :-) And I have to agree, I have 'met' so many fabulous people on my blog travels! x
ReplyDeleteAh thanks lovely, you've been so encouraging, thanks for following me too, it's lovely to have you here! xx
