one year and a giveaway - NOW CLOSED

My on-the-ball ten year old reminds me it's over a year since I started this little blog of mine. How quickly the time has gone by! So, I thought I'd mark its first anniversary with a first giveaway.

I wanted to say thank you for following, reading and sending me lovely comments over the past year, and am offering a pair of swallow earrings, handmade by me using 1940's sky blue glass stones and green givre beads from the same period. The stones feature a slight swirl of white, which isn't easy to describe but they remind me of a white cloudy sky. The earwires are made of lead and nickel free plated and lacquered brass but if you prefer, I can fit plain gold filled lever backs instead. I've chosen these because, together with the pink ones I've made, they have been the most popular earrings in my shop to date. They will come in a lace-wrapped padded pouch which I have made using fabric dating from the 1930's, and lined with vintage white cotton.

If you would like the chance of owning these earrings, either for yourself or for a Christmas present with someone else in mind, all you need to do is leave a comment on this post and I shall get the children to devise some ingenious method of picking a winner. They're going to love that!

All welcome, no matter which part of the globe you belong, but followers and regular contributors will have a second bite of the cherry and get double dipped into the hat. I think that's only fair don't you? So if you've been lurking, now's your chance to come out of the woodwork and say hello. And you're more than welcome to borrow the button if you like.

A winner will be announced on 27th November, which will be one year and one month since harmony and rosie opened up its blogging doors. Good luck!

I hope you're all having a fabulous week so far? x
