It's Give-away Time!

I've been neglecting my blog and most blog reading this week.  Truth be told, the nervous energy expended on the lumberjacking adventure, plus a stint at proper paid employment and the lingering effects of the lurgy have rendered me incapable of keeping up with my normal activities.

In the meantime, I noticed that I have acquired a nicely rounded number of followers and thought it only right and proper to celebrate with a bit of a give-away!

Here, first, are the goodies to tempt you...


That's a nice fridge magnet with a camper van ad of a most excellent vintage
(1963 being a very fine year)...


Some cute folk art notecards...


Two retro hexy patches, ready for transforming into something amazing...


A copy of Cath Kidston's 'Stitch'...


 ... with its many delightful needlepoint and cross-stitch projects, large and small...






A small printed tablecloth...


And finally a couple of my felt creations - a little bird...


...and a small, embroidered brooch...


And because I have two copies (a bit of a mix-up caused by different front covers) there is even a runners-up prize of another copy of 'Stitch'...


...and a little, handmade surprise...


...for the second name out of the hat!

So all that remains is to let you know how to enter.
And it couldn't be easier.

Just be a follower (either because you are already, or else become one) and leave a comment on this post saying you'd like your name to go in the hat.
Simples!

(If I was cleverer, I'd have made a 'button' which you could 'grab' for an extra entry.   But I'm not cleverer, though if I read your blog (or you point me in its direction) and you have mentioned my giveaway, I will of course give you an extra entry!) 

I will leave this open till Sunday 25th March, when I will prevail upon the mice...


...to do the usual!

  5. Wow, Alix, what a fabulous giveaway. I'd love to be considered. I especially love the heart brooch you made (not that I'm sucking up to you or anything......). Btw, I think you'll find that 1962 was an even finer year!

  13. What a super give away but I'd better not put my name in the hat as I'm no stitcher & those books need good homes ! Also I do have the lovely wallet you made which I'll be using again this summer.
    I do agree though that 1963 was a great vintage !

    second attempt at commenting.....

  20. 1964 was also a very good year...lol. Must just be the 60s mood that created us. :-)

    Love your goodies but the handmade is the most precious of all! I would love to give it a try even though I never win giveaways.
