I Wish You All Could Have Won

Yay, it's Saturday! Tea is brewing and we're all feeling better... thanks to your well wishes and wonderful remedies. It appears that the best thing for my cough was fretting over my sick little darling.... who is now bouncing around like a little flea... a skinny flea. He is now eating like there is no tomorrow so I hope those little ribs aren't sticking out for too much longer. 

Good news and 'semi not so good but not tragic' news.....

Good news: winners have been drawn for my giveaway. I received over 200 entries via comments and emails and I so enjoyed reading all about you and meeting some of you for the first time. I wish I could package up 200+ little packages and send you all something. 

'Sort of not so good 'news: prizes will not be retrieved from shed and posted until I get back from the trade fair later on this week. I am heading off tomorrow and the thought of battling that shed today is just too much after the week we have had.

Winners drawn by barrel boys:

Starfish Napkin Rings: Lori R, in the US.

Starfish NapkinR ings: Snappy Di, also in the US!

French Clock Door Knobs: Tricia Rose, Cabin On The Water

French Clock Door Knobs: Amanda, Homely One (found another set)

Cake Stand: Anne-Marie, I kid you not... we screamed when we pulled your name out A-Mi!

Beads: Andrea, Fabric Epiphanies

Beads: Sara, via email, Canada!

Beads: Sharyne, Golden Valley 50

Can you lovely winners please email me with your postal details at: a-m@capecoddesigns.com.au and I will endeavour to battle the shed next week and send off your goodies!

Thank you everyone for stopping by and commenting, introducing yourselves and overwhelming me with your beautiful words of support and encouragement. I would like to thank each and every one of you for taking the time to leave me comments each and every day. They warm my heart. I only wish I had more time in the day to visit you back and comment more frequently on your blogs. Please know that I cherish the time you take out of your day to make contact with me in your comments and emails.

So I'm off to the trade fair for a few days. I might take the time to take a bloggy break... famous last words... most likely I will get all excited about something and have to tell you. Who knows? 

Looking forward to some 'me time' but missing my boys already and I haven't even walked out the door :(

Have a great weekend!

Happy Saturday :)

So I Went To The Shed.....

... and had a big sort and a big 'potter'. I had lots of energy as I had just done my run. I moved heaven and earth and then collapsed in a heap mid morning. Thank goodness for my Nespresso machine.

So I was thinking that I need a bit glamour around here...... and I also need to give a little something back to you. You don't know how much you give to me. Behind the scenes, this little bloggy of mine just feeds my soul. 

Soooooo..... this is a 'Giveaway'! I know. It's been a long time between drinks/giveaways.

I rummaged around and found some pretties from Villa Maison amongst my stock pile. My favourites. All you have to do to be in the draw for any of these pretties is to leave me a comment, that's it. Just introduce yourself. Oh and you might like to mention which one of my goodies takes your fancy. It would be nice to match up a winner with something they actually like. 

Entries welcome to 'non followers', 'lurkers', 'sporadic readers', 'random browsers', my 'hard core regulars'.... and heck, even those who have left 'this place' due to all the mud and drama. Would love to meet you if I haven't already.

So here are the goodies:

A set of 4 silver metal, starfish napkin rings.
Bit blurry sorry - iphone and shaky hands from lifting boxes.

Set of 4 ceramic knobs - how gorgeous would these look on a kitchen dresser!
I'm impressed with my styling here.. except for the plastic on the chair arms.

A beautiful silver, French cake stand - I have one in my bathroom with all my perfumes sitting on it.
Stole that idea from Katrina.

A beautiful clear crystal beaded long necklace - double knots between beads.
My wardrobe staple.
From Creatively Active Minds (I sort of miss selling jewellery... their severely gorgeous trade displays used to make me faint with excitement)

Ok, so entries open until say Friday next week. 18th February. Will get my barrel boys to do the draw thing on Friday night and announce that weekend. We will draw a winner for each item. Yay.

Good luck!

8.20am Addendum: My heart is breaking already as I want to give you all something. Just between you and me, I have 3 of those gorgeous necklaces to give away. As my brothers say to me all the time, "shirt off my back".... and loving it.
