It's Giveaway Time (Finally.....) !!!

Hello Everyone!

It seems an age since I last posted, but I see it's just a week ago.
How time flies!!!

I do hope all is well with you all, my lovely friends in Blogland!
I have missed you as I have not been blog hopping since last week, so once more I am in arrears with my visiting.

I shall look forward to catching up with you over the next few evenings.

I hope you will forgive me for my lack of posts and lack of comments on your blogs - to try and coax you into forgiveness I have a little incentive here - a rather overdue Giveaway in celebration of reaching 100 followers and as a Thankyou to you all!!!

The Giveaway is................

Either .............a Peg Apron made from vintage linen and hand embroidered in red with the word "Pegs"



Whoops! Mirror image!

The apron has long white cotton tape ties that makes the apron fit any size, and it can be worn tied behind or wrapped around and tied in front as below 



It is made from a vintage Parkertex floral linen, with a large pocket in vintage natural linen.

I have hand embroidered the word "pegs" in red thread on an old piece of white cotton cut from a vintage tablecloth too damaged to use as such

In the middle of the apron there is a tape hanging loop which can be used to hang the apron with the pegs inside the pocket.

The large pocket is stitched at the top in the middle to prevent it falling open.

 Or..........a vintage fabric covered Journal with integral bookmark - a choice of two journals.

Either a vintage striped fabric with cream lining

The Journal covers fit a standard A5 notebook so once you have finished the notebook that comes with the cover (60 plain pages ) you can replace it with a new one.

The journal is lined in cream cotton, and the bookmark is made from an East of India woven cotton ribbon with a vintage silk tassel attached at the bottom.



Or..... a vintage english floral linen (which matches the linen on the Peg Apron) with faded red homespun lining and blue gingham ribbon.

And...................a bookmark made from a cheerful red vintage French fabric with a vintage silk tassel.

The Giveaway ends at the end of July (31st).

We've had a few courgettes and climbing french beans from  the garden

The last week has flown by for me, catching up on housework, gardening, coffee mornings with a few friends, decorating the study/bedroom, shopping and chauffering Bella around as she does her work experience in a Primary School.



One of the interesting things discovered by Bella is that the teachers here are terrible gossips!!!!

This surprised us, I don't know why - I guess I thought all you clever teachers out there were too lofty for gossip, too full of more important things like planning lessons and marking books and planning fun things for the kiddies to do to behave in an ordinary, gossipy kind of way like us other mere mortals!!!!

Maybe its just at this school???!!

Any teachers out there, is it true of you all?

Are you just normal gossips like the rest of us?

We need to know!!!

Hope you all had a great weekend, and I'm looking forward to catching up with you soon!
