SEWN giveaway winner ....

.... is DanandKaren, from over in Southern California! Congratulations and thanks for entering the giveaway! Two gorgeously kitsch Australiana teatowels will be winging their way to you shortly.

Which reminds me, I haven't yet revealed what was in the big 101-th giveaway from a few weeks ago...

Fatpuss reminded me today actually, that I hadn't posted the photo yet. I was waiting to hear back from the recipient at thereisabuttonmissing, and the email arrived during the week while I was on holiday. So now that I'm back at the PC, here is a picture of all the goodies she received!

Feast your eyes on this stash... there are:

• a whole pile of fat quarters
• a tin of Crabtree and Evelyn hot chocolate
• a Better Homes and Gardens magazine
• slightly less than a hundred and one buttons
• a pencil roll made from vintage fabric
• a tote bag made from vintage fabric
• a tissue pack
• a pile of golden pom poms (possibly a hundred and one of them)
• a little stash of ribbon and braid
• a perfumed soap in a lovely cotton sack
• and something else I can't remember. The Fathead may be sitting on it.
  

Thanks to everyone who entered - I'm already looking forward to the giveaway for my 202-nd post!

Better late than never? My SEWN giveaway

Gosh, four days without a decent interweb connection really puts a dent in the blogging, doesn't it?

We're home now in Melbourne - I have SO many thing to tell you about (dinner sets, and Coonabarabran, and vanilla slices) - but first I am posting my SEWN giveaway which I meant to do ages ago and completely forgot about. Oops.... I received kindly email reminder this morning and immediately felt terribly guilty. I'm sorry, SEWN! I know you are a great new sewing site and you deserve much better than this!

But also, you know, sometimes forgetting is good, because it means you can give away things that you wouldn't have otherwise had. (See how I'm justifying this? See? It's a long shot, I know.)

Take this lovely whale teatowel from Coffs Harbour for example. Now, if I'd blogged this giveaway before we went on holiday, as I intended to do, I wouldn't have been able to include it, would I? And it's lovely - pure linen, just like the Kangaroo tea towel which came from our
Mildura trip back in March.

So there we have it, two little pieces of Australia, all yours for the taking. International readers, no problems with postage, I'd love these to go to faraway shores!

You know the rules, just join up as a follower if you aren't one already, and if you ARE one, just leave me a comment below this post. I'd love to know what you might do with them ....

There's only a couple of days until this giveaway is drawn, on June the 8th, so you'll have to be quick!
