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.
