new orla kiely bags in tesco

Tesco and Orla Kiely have teamed up again and released a new design bag. I love these bags, I'm building up quite a collection with all the designs which have been released. The new design has a blue flower on one side and a red one on the other side. The flower is a fab pixilated pattern(is that the correct word or did I just make it up??)
I may have bought a spare one which may or may not be included in a forthcoming giveaway!

nellie dean's giveaway - finally!

If anyone is still reading - hello! Yet more apologies for an unscheduled abscence, this time caused by a dead laptop. The husband is out for a while so I've hopped onto his computer to finally post the details of my giveaway. I hope you won't be disappointed by my giveaway after all this time.

So, what is up for grabs? Well, to start we have two Orla Kiely bags from Tesco.  I'm sure you've all seen them before but they are fab, really strong and versatile. I use mine for groceries, swimming, picnics. Basically, most things!  I've managed to get one in the pear design and one in the grey geometric design.

What's next? Some magazines. We have a copy of Selvedge from Jan/Feb 2010 and the first issue of Mollie Makes which comes complete with the felt kit on the front. Mollie Makes is a new magazine which has been a runaway success. I have read countless blogs and mentions on Facebook about it. It is a great read, full of inspiring ideas and photos of beautiful workspaces. I also intended to giveaway a copy of Marie Claire Idees but I cant' find it now. If I find it in time from the depths of my workroom I will throw that in too.

Finally we have a little selection of pretty ribbons and a few items made by me. In no particular order: one metre of jumbo red ric rac, one metre aqua ribbon, one metre of red cotton ribbon and ten metres of aqua baker's twine.  Items made by me are: 6 fabric covered buttons in red spotty cotton, a pink lavender bird and a wool felt brooch.

Phew! That's all folks, I hope it was worth the wait.  If you would like to be in with a chance of getting your sticky fingers on that lot then you need to be a follower of this blog.  You can get another entry by liking me on Facebook    Let me know by leaving a comment on this post when you've followed/liked and I will put your name into the (imaginary) hat. If you already follow me on here or like my Facebook page thank you and let me know and I will enter you too!

I will close the draw and pick a name on Sunday 10th July at 8pm ish.  Good luck and please spread the word!

apologies

I'm having problems logging into Blogger and therefore I can't post up the details of the giveaway. I am posting this from my phone and don't fancy doing a full post on this tiny keyboard!

Hopefully normal service will be resumed shortly. Hang on in there! If it's any consolation this extra time is giving me time to think of extra goodies to include :-)

EDIT: Yee har, I'm in! Thanks to the lovely Jenny for suggesting that I use a different browser. Happy days!

Facebook page - I think!

I set up a business page on Facebook a little while ago but noticed that it wasn't appearing when I tried to Google it. I couldn't even work out what the URL of the page was! So after a bit of digging around I found an online tutorial and have now created a link which goes directly to my page (I hope!).

So now you can type in the above link and find me on there. Please pop by and say hi. I have already had one giveaway and I'll be hosting another one when I get to 150 fans.

Woo hoo!
