GIVEAWAY Hand Monogrammed Vintage Linen Sachet

Decided to do my very  first give away to celebrate the fact that I finally got my 200th sale today on Etsy and would like someone to win a hand monogrammed vintage linen sachet filled with french lavender grown in my own garden here in the South West of France (initial of your choice) this can be for you or for a friend. Just leave me a comment and your name will be entered into a draw. After many hours of searching for someone to make the draw I decided to let Uncle Ted do it and does he look happy or what? This is open to anyone, anywhere!


Ps Uncle Ted just reminded me if there is a start there must be a finish silly me, um lets see how about  2 weeks that should give you enough time.  So 15th April it is then. Good luck

Unsolicited Love is the best

I woke this morning and just as I was pouring my first coffee of the day and trying to decide what to get up to as the weather has turned nasty again. A knock on the door and a box was handed over to me and this is what was in it a beautiful bouquet of roses. A simple  message enclosed saying "I love you mama" from your son Andy. It's not my birthday or anniversary and I don't really know what I will do today but will have a smile on my face for most of it. I love you to Andy.

Dyed in the Woad

/







Last year I took a textile course held in the beautiful 18th century Chateau Dumas where we collected various pieces of vintage linens and then dyed them in woad using an ancient technique shown to us by Denise Lambert. I have to say that the smell of the woad was too say the least quite revolting but easily forgiven for producing such beautiful shades of blues.
