July is my favourite month, it is my birthday month, the weather is cooler and there are so many things happening in July, like Medieval fairs and winter fetes and the oh so exciting Christmas in July events! I have also surpassed 300 posts a couple of posts ago and I really think that is more than enough reasons for a giveaway or 5....yes I shall have five giveaways from now until the end of the month and all you need to do is leave a comment on each giveaway post.
This will be the first giveaway post and the item I am giving away is in one of these pictures, you can guess if you like, I will reveal the item and the winner in the next giveaway post.
This week is a flurry of activity once again...I seem to do lots of flurrying and activitying don't I?
Anyhoo on Saturday the 18th, DH and I are driving down to Warwick ( I think it is down, maybe out to Warwick is better I 'm not sure, a bit geographically challenged I am) to attend The Handmade Expo as part of the Warwick Jumpers and Jazz festival. It is going to be very chilly and I am very excited...but before then I have lots of stock to make.
I had rearranged the shop on Thursday and obviously it was lovely because on Sunday lots of my displays sold...any suggestions on what sort of display you think I should do?
Off to sew some more and probably Twitter an awful lot when I should be sewing. I have a whole bundle of 'new to me' vintage doileys and I have a plan but first I have to wash and iron them...but that isn't like normal ironing it is pretty ironing! Big difference!
I shall return soon with the next giveway post....make sure you leave a comment on this post for the first present hidden in these pictures ( well it is no really hidden it just doesn't have a big tag on it saying ' I am the giveaway', but it is there and it is good beleive me).

I tried to imagine what it could be, but alas you're way to tricky for me !

I really like all the tea party displays, the teapots and cupcakes and stuff, maybe you should do that, it is definitely tea weather :-) I think you are giving away the OWL. I actually have no idea but thought I'd throw in a guess! I don't need to be in the running to win a present Love, I think I count as family, hahahha.

Wowzers, you're giving away the table and chair??!! LOL just kidding!
I'm guessing that super cute little cake timer...

Oh what a fun giveaway.
I think it is that cute little journal on the table. Doesn't really matter what it is because we know whatever you pick as the gift it will be fabulous
