I love Swaps and a Giveaway

I do love a package arriving in the mail
Especially one as eagerly anticipated as this one

And inside a veritable cornucopia
of delights
So glad I mentioned to Jack Oudyn
when we were conversing
about the Xanthorrhoea resin
he had purchased from my Etsy shop
that I am always open to idea of an exchange





I could not be happier with my end of the bargain

and here they are in their new location on my inspiration wall

And now above there is a tantalising (I hope)
glimpse of a collaboration
I am entering into with Jack
Two little plaster books
about to go in the mail
for him to have a play with

It has also come to my attention
that I have passed 300 posts
and that I am fast approaching 60 000
page views here on the blog
and I know a few people visit
in fact one of my blog friends
popped into the studio yesterday

But anywho
to celebrate I think
a giveaway
is most defintiely in order
Not sure exactly what will be in it
But I do know that
the little book of teabags
seen in this blogpost
will be included
Leave a comment if you wish to be in the draw
which will happen hmmm
lets give you a bit of time
October 30th
P.S. the giveaway is growing looks like it will all be teabag related
I am making lots of tea bag samples
which will be included

Eggs

This is why I have my own chickens. At least the boys get a happy life for a few months before the quickly get dispatched for the table. And the hens well as long as you have a breed bred for egg laying through their whole life and not just for the 1 season , they can stay until they die of old age.
