It is so grey and gloomy outside today, that I felt it was time for something cheering. A GiVeAwAy!
I have put together a few small items from my collections:
* a bundle of vintage fabrics for patchworking or any crafts
* a tiny pincushion in a vintage madeleine tin
* a selection of old mother of pearl buttons
* some home made patchwork baubles for your tree (or branch)
plus a couple of surprises....
All you have to do is to become a follower, if you're not already, and leave me a comment telling me your favourite style era (1930s, 1950s, Edwardian etc). I'll put all the names in a hat on Saturday December 1st and draw a winner.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE GIVEAWAY.....

ReplyDeleteI am already a follower..
I think I have fallen for the roaring twenties with it's flapper girls styles and bob hair styles, but I also love
Victorian in my decor for my home.
Sending kind regards always.

Oh, what a wonderful draw! My favourite era is the 40s - wartime make do and mend along with some glamour of the post war years and Hollywood films - can't beat it!

DeleteHello! I've been a follower for a while, and love your blog! Please enter me for this lovely giveaway ... I live in a 1930's semi, so I too love the Second World War era ... The clothes, music and fabulous style! Mrs Miniver is my favourite film, and is the epitome of that time.

I'd love to be part of your giveaway please and I do follow you. The Victorian era has always been my favourite but more recently the Fifties.

What lovely things for your giveaway. Please pop my name in your hat - I have been a follower for a while now. I have always been drawn to the elegant Edwardian period and used to dress in white lacy petticoats and frilly blouses. That had to stop when I had my sons! Karen x
ReplyDeleteOoh! how lovely..I have only been a follower for a little while but I added your blog for inspiration. I love all the colours and fabrics you include. May I please enter your competition? My favourite era is the 1940s, there is something so wonderful about the whole 'Make do and mend' mentality! I think it still exists within the crafters of today, as if it were passed down the generations :D Thank you for reading. xx
ReplyDeleteHi there,
DeleteThanks for following and entering the giveaway. I love the 1940s, too.
Good luck :)

beautiful fabrics- such a lovely giveaway. i too love the war years fashion of the late 30's- 40's. The land girls clothing especially ;0)x
ReplyDeletehi- just came over to say thanks for your comment re eBay...nowt as strange as some folk is there?!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your last post as a friend commented recently that she need never come and see me at a fair cos my front room always contains the "en route" version.
Sad to say she's too right and I often feel my home is simply a selling day in transit but what's to be done when space is at such a premium and it's stock that brings in the ££s, not a clear tabletop?
It's such a lovely moment tho when all is cleared, back in it's respective sheds and workrooms and you can revel in why you furnished that room as you did!
Have a good w.e and hope to catch up again

Hi, thanks for popping over.
DeleteI always, always take too much stock to sales. Maybe judging the right amount to take is something that comes with experience, I don't know, but I haven't got that right yet!!
Dear Fiona
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower and would love to be entered into your giveaway, please. It is really difficult to choose a favourite era as I like elements of so many! The elegance and sophistication of Regency, the patterns of Victorian, the style of the 1920s, the dresses of the 1950s, the pearl jewellery of the Renaissance and the fabrics of the 1750s to 1790s. That list is probably much too greedy!
Best wishes
Ellie
Hi Ellie
DeleteWelcome along,thanks for following and I will put your name into the hat.
I agree about the eras, my house is a complete mixture, but I really like your list!
Hi, I've just found you via Fading Grace's blog. I think for me it has to be the Edwardian era.
ReplyDeleteI've signed up to follow by e-mail.
Thank you for finding my blog and joining me. I'll add your name to the hat.
DeleteFiona
I'm new too! I live in a Victorian rectory and so I would choose that era - I especially love the chairs of that period and can't resist adding to my collection!
ReplyDeleteHi Gill,
DeleteWelcome and I'll put you into the draw for tomorrow!
Like the sound of your chair collection :)
I've been reading your blog for a little while, but have just become a follower It is very difficult to choose a favourite era, but I think maybe it would have to be the fifties as the streamlined designs would fit more readily into our modern house.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'll be making the draw tonight!
