My First Blog Giveaway !
This is my first blog giveaway to celebrate one year of being in blog land, my new blog and also to celebrate being a new member of TDIPT Mercantile.
Lots of goodies to the lucky winner !... A log cabin note pad/magnet set, three bags of potpourri tarts and a cupboard light ( made by my friend, Mary ), a bag of Hershey's Bliss Dark Chocolates, and a *chimney* shoe pin keep I just made. Also, a little bit of history about concealment shoes that I printed out on heavy document paper. The shoe pin keep is from a pattern by Hazelruthe.
You can click on the photos to enlarge them.
To enter the blog giveaway, just leave me a comment about some of your favorite things.
For an additional chance to win, just post my blog giveaway on your blog. Please let me know if you post the giveaway on your blog.
If you don't have your own blog, please leave your email address so that I may get in touch with you if you win.
This giveaway will be shipped free to the continental United States only.
The drawing for the giveaway will be on June 1st.
The shoe pin keep is made from painted and sanded heavy muslin, has three antique vintage buttons sewn on the flap, a brown wool pin cushion sewn atop the shoe, and antique vintage pearly shell buttons stacked on top held on with pins. The shoe is weighted with plastic poly pellets.
Please don't forget to mention some of your favorite things ! It can be a place, something you like to do, food, what nots, color, etc...
Good luck to you !
