AND THE WINNER IS....................

Thank you to everyone who joined in our little giveaway and apologies for the delay in posting the result. (Due to sudden return to temporary employment, poorly grandchildren and a broken washing machine), no excuse at all really then!

And so at last the winner picked out by our vintage random generator (me) is.........

TILLY ROSE

Congratulations.( Sorry about the awful photo) Your parcel will be on its way in the next few days. We hope you will enjoy its contents and pop back  now and again to Olive and Edna's Vintage Emporium to see what other goodies we are adding.

Thank you again everyone for your encouragement and support.

AND THE WINNER IS.......

Well I was a little disappointed at the response to my giveaway, only 7 entries, but as I didn't specify the prize perhaps it didn't appeal.

However of those who entered, the winner as drawn from my paper hat by my DH is.......

MARIGOLD JAM

Congratulations a pre Christmas parcel will be winging its way to you sometime this week. Please let me have your full name and address details (to the email on my profile) and I will rush it off to you.

As for the most interesting idea, I think it has to go to.....

 HAPPY HOMEMAKER UK

A paper rose on paper shoes, well in view of my business, I think this has to win the runner up prize...congratulations a little token of my appreciation at your taking part will also be in the post as soon as I receive your details.

To everyone else thanks for making me feel that at least someone is listening out there, It always amazes me that out of  over 100 views in a day only one or two actually say hello! I don't bite and  a ' I just popped by to say hello' will do.

Finally the answer was a wreath...OK so not so extraordinary but I am so happy with it and the tutorial I followed here.

Mine is on a 12 inch willow wreath painted white and took 390 roses!!

I have since created a bell decoration for Christmas

so my book cannibalism is set to continue.....

Paper garlands next I 'm thinking...and perhaps handmade crackers with gifts relating to book heroes and heroines....my mind is racing now and the ideas are flooding in .....am I becoming obsessed....look out for further exciting chapters soon.......

But now for the epilogue...

Off to bed with a good book...the ones I saved because they are worth reading....!

THANK YOU POSTIE....AND MY GIVEAWAY WINNERS........

Evening all.....
ooh sound like Dixon of Dock Green there....Ok there will be some of you who will remember him! (surely!!!!)

Two lovely things to blog about this evening , and apologies for being a bit late with the first...

Mr or at least at the moment Mrs Postie brought me two super parcels last week.....

The first was a surprise win from Alix at used-to-bees. 
I have admired her travel journals and other beautiful pieces on Folksy here
and I couldn't believe my luck when this landed through my letterbox

Beautifully wrapped.....

A brilliant covered notebook...and in a Union Jack fabric...how perfect is that for me!! Appliqued with copies of old travel posters....

and a great selection of other posters and signs printed onto fabric and backed with bondaweb for me to have a go myself....I am thrilled.  

Thank you so much Alix, the only thing is I forgot to keep the envelope with your address...if you don't mind would you email it to me!  I can't wait to use the appliques, I have a cushion in mind already, so will show you the result in due course.

My second parcel was from Lynn at Sea Angels
I bought some stunning rose fabric from her and it arrived like this.....

How pretty is that.......and the cute little cup cake is made of decorated wood, I am tempted to add a pin and use it as a brooch!

Can't wait to use this, destined for some new cushions I think....... although its pretty enough to be a summer skirt....a la cabbages and roses..........ummmm.........  Thank you Lynn an absolute bargain!

And Finally......drum roll please.......................................
