Birthday Giveaway.



I have had such a busy week
not only has it been our wedding anniversary and my birthday
but we went to the opening of a local art exhibition 
and a wedding.
which means this post is a few days later than I wanted 
but better late than never. 
 First though let me show you what Mr T got me.





Isn't it beautiful and colour co-ordinates with my kitchen
although my friend thinks it's wasted on me as I don't make many cakes.

I have told her she can borrow it.(lol)

I got loads of other bits including a new Pandora bead from my girls
and a fabulous antique book on lace from my son.


This is another book I received which I love.
 It was inspired 
by a lady called Mary Brookes Picken and 
news letters of the American Women's institute of Domestic Arts and Sciences.

Click here for the Amazon page as it
 does the book far more justice than I ever could.

Anyway I promised a birthday giveaway so you could all help me 
celebrate and because it occurred to me that I past my 2nd blog birthday
some months ago without even noticing.



The prize will be a present for you to open
just as though it's your birthday. 
So you must have a blog
 then, if you are the winner,
 I will go  and have a good look at your blog to see what you like
and hopefully send you an appropriate gift.


So all you have to do is be a follower and leave me a comment below.
Easy.
It is open until  the 18th May.

Good luck and I'll see you soon.

  2. That mixer looks too good to use. More decorative so don't worry about the baking,

    The book looks really interesting too.

  12. Ha! Just like Nana Go-Go....for one brief moment I thought .....!

    But what a smasher of a present, hey? I got the equivalent Kenwood Chef Titanium when I retired last year form my other half ....not sure whether he was expecting me to be spending MORE time in the kitchen!

    So Happy Multiple Anniversarys, enjoy your pressies!
