My long awaited Give-away

I know I promised I would do a giveaway when I reached 100 followers, but I have passed that so have been busy getting everything together so here goes.

I am giving away to one of you lovely bloggers, a cushion cover made with vintage fabrics, a pretty lavender filled (provence of course) heart using once again vintage fabrics and an old french confiture jar which I bought at a flea market in France.
 Sorry can't send the snowdrops, but it just goes to show how versatile the jars are!!
All you have to do is leave me a comment for one chance of winning, post my little giveaway photo and link on your blog for an extra chance.  I expect all you very experienced bloggers will see that I haven't done this before but heyho here goes.
Its been a little bit of an up and down week, looked at rubbish houses!!! had very sad and tragic news from a friend, and ran out of heating oil, thank god for open fires and Rayburns!!

So I look forward to hearing from all of you

    Hi Jill, sorry to hear you have had a bad week, especially the news from your friend.

    I am sure you will just go to view a house very soon and it will feel like home straight away.

    Try and enjoy the rest of the weekend. Jackie in Surrey.

    I just found your blog....Crazy gorgeous. I love everything about it. I think the thing that I love the MOST about blogging is that it helps us all feel so connected. You live in Devon, I live in Florida, and looking at your pictures you would think we lived in the same house. So very cool. Thanks for the time you take to bring joy and inspiration to us all.

    hiya- just popped over to say thanks for your sweet comment...yes, jittabug is about right!

    Reading through your blog the pics of North Bovey brought back fond memories- we stayed there for our honeymoon just after Christmas many moons ago, and drove across the moor to the Widdecombe Fair pub (can't remember the exact name?) on New Years Eve, and were stuck in such thick fog driving back home that I thought we'd have to spend the night on the moor!

    Good luck with your house hunt
