....of the seasonal kind. The reason????? Well, firstly...this is my favourite time of year...so why not? Secondly I have been so happy to receive some lovely comments of late, from all you lovely Florence and Rose readers, it absolutely makes my day to hear from you all......and we have a few new followers in the pack too......so I have made you some bunting, and a brooch.
Acorns and poppy heads, hand stitched onto vintage fabric and Japanese linen, using a vintage lace too, makes up the bunting.
The brooch is a felt acorn, perfect for this time of year, I imagine it adorning a coat at a harvest festival!!
The give away is my FIRST ever.......and all I ask?????
As this is my favourite time of year, and we are talking about acorns and poppy heads, and Autumnal colours, please tell me what your favourite thing about this time of year is?......
Mine has to be the obvious, cosy nights in, slippers on, a hot cup of something, a blanket, snuggling Mr.Q and the doggies on the sofa in an evening...a book might be involved, or a good telly programme ( Downtown Abbey anyone? )......or the radio, It does seem even more special if the wind is howling and rattling the windows, or it's pouring with rain too...........anyway.......that's mine.
You need to be a follower of the blog, leave me a way of contacting you too please.
And it's worth mentioning I will post ANYWHERE...........
Ooooh it's all very exciting isn't it?!!!!!
The bumblebee's will pick the winner out of a hat ( or any other suitable object, it might be a jam jar, or a bag, or a bowl, or a shoe...we don't JUST favour hats ).....ready for next week.
Good luck, I will keep my fingers crossed for you all.....and look forward to reading your seasonal comments.
Happy Monday to you all xxx
And thank you again for reading my blog. x
A Giveaway! What a lovely one too!
ReplyDeleteI am a fellow autumn/winter lover too! With all the things you mentioned. But also when the air turns crisp and have a good walk with family friends the trees always look amazing when they turn and that particular autumn smell in the air. And knowing that you return home to all that warmth and comfort. Mmmm lovely.
Just love that bunting and the brooch too cute.
I would love a chance of winning those.

I love the low slanting golden light of late summer and berries in all varieties, hips, haws I don't mind! And red in all it's hues at this time of year, as an accent to what I'm wearing, maybe a scarf or a broach or a layering piece or socks or tights, you know what I mean! I like Doctor Who on Saturday night, I loved Amy's red scarf in the very first episode with Matt Smith. Happy days! The acorn motif is lovely by the way!

Please count me in!! Autumn is my favourite time of the year. First because my birthday is during this wonderful season. I was during Autumn time I meet my wonderful husband. I love the smell of dried leaves on the floor. Cinnamon and Cloves, pumpkin soup, wooly jumpers and boots. :)

ReplyDeleteAutumn is my most favourite time of year...
...kicking through crunchy golden leaves in my flowery wellies, wearing stripy knitted scarves and hats, cosying up at night with a good book under my patchwork quilt, my boys and I all getting into our pj's and snuggly dressing gowns after a cold afternoon school run, pumpkins glowing in the dark, acorns, conkers and sweet, warm, homecooked treats with a hot chocolate to follow!!... and all of the above! What is there not to love about Autumn??
Thats me :)

Lovely! I want! Me! Me! Me! Sorry, just turned into a three year old. But they are so beautiful and gorgeous and seasonal and scrummy. You are very clever.
ReplyDeleteTa for your kind comment on my blog. I love hearing from you. You are a treasure.xxx
Autumn is a truly beautiful season. I like the light, there is a lovely mellowness about it (when it is sunny that is). Evenings in front of the fire watching programmes like Downton Abbey...Wasn't last night's episode good!
ReplyDeleteI love going for walks to pick, elderberries, haws, blackberries and cobnuts with a basket.
I love a dramatic dark sky with a ray of sunshine and the trees showing off an array of greens, reds, yellows and organges. I could go on more but that will do for now :-)
Lovely giveway, please count me in, thank you.

Can I just say I love your wooden beam too. Gorgeous house.xx
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely bunting!
ReplyDeleteI do love this time of year, to me it's the season of the robin. It seems everywhere you go their warbling is in earshot telling you to wrap up warm with a nice cup of chocolate!
Oh I love them, the acorn is too cute.
ReplyDeleteAutumn has always been my favourite season and I always state that it's because it does what it says on the tin, unlike some of the other seasons (especially summer, ahem).
I love collecting nature items at this time of year, conkers, acorns, beautiful red leaves and using them in flower arrangements. This year I have heaps of gourds that I'm going to use decoratively. Also, Halloween as I love being spooked and the dark nights make me think of telling ghost stories by candlelight.

I love Autumn for the colours, for the nights drawing in, I can snuggle by the fire, and light candles. The moon sits big and low this time of year, it makes me feel happy.
ReplyDeleteI'd love a chance to win your goodies, and always love reading your blog xx
