A Flowery Giveaway

Thank you.

Thank you for visiting, for reading, for commenting, for emailing. Thank you for letting me into your lives, and for being a part of mine.

You're the quiet friendly presence in the background of my thoughts; the encouragement to write something when I'd rather bury my head in a book. You're the constant unseen companion on every walk and ride; when I pull the camera out of my pocket to snap a barn or a flower, I think of you. You're the cheering section for my design efforts, the sounding-board for my crochet geekery, the inspiration to keep making and connecting.

When I look at a map, I see more than states or countries. I see places where friends live, and wish I could visit them all.

Thank you.

A little pile of gifts has been growing on my desk. When I sat down to write this post, I realised that they all had something of the planty-flowery about them. (Quite unintentional, but not surprising, given the trend of my thoughts this summer.)

There's a lovely yarn called Magnolia, which I bought for its softness and its fresh leafy colour. A big raspberry-red button. Two adorably casual flowered plates (by "casual" I mean "plastic"). And a pale-green tea towel embossed with vegetables.


All these delights could be yours! To enter the giveaway, leave a comment below.

  • If you're a "No-Reply Blogger", or if your online profile does not include an email address, make sure there's a way for me to reach you.
  • If you can't leave a comment because you don't have an online profile, send me an e-mail (see my profile for the address) with "Flowery Giveaway" in the subject line.

This giveaway is international, and will close at midnight (US Central Daylight Time) on Sunday August 30th. The winner will be announced on Monday, August 31st.

Good luck, and again, thank you!

    (I don't want to be included in the giveaway, though. I've won so much this summer. Someone else needs to get a chance. LOL)

    But, I did want to say how I loved how the colors played so nicely together.

  29. Your writing is beautiful! I think you should write a book...maybe you have! I feel the same way about blogging. It seems to often be on my mind, wondering what I should share, who would care and seeing so many things in my day that might interest others. The button is my favorite!
