A Little Giveaway

6/10/2020

67 Comments

 
Giveaway now closed. Thank you to everyone who entered, I enjoyed reading about your favourite flowers. Random number generator picked number 25 and that was Janet Lockland. Congratulations! I've sent you an email Janet.

Every day I am blown away by the incredible support I am shown by all of you. I am truly thankful and I wish I could find a way to give back to each and every one of you. As a small gesture, and to say thank you also for the 20 thousand followers I now have on Instagram, I thought I would do a little giveaway. I tried to host it on Instagram but for some reason Instagram seemed to think my post was branded content (which I have never done) and they seemed to think I was breaking their rules if I didn't tag a brand. I think it's just a case of their computer algorithm getting it wrong. But just in case my account would be compromised, I thought I would have it here instead.

Over on Youtube this week I showed a little video where I made some floral art work. For the giveaway prize, I will make something similar for the winner. To enter, leave a comment on this blog post letting me know what your favourite flower is! I will leave the giveaway open until October 20th 8pm UK time and then I will randomly pick a winner and announce it on Instagram. You will have to leave your name on your comment so I can get in touch with you.
Thanks so much, for your incredible support.

My first favourite is the daffodil because they’re a welcome sign that spring is on its way. I love daisies - so cheerful to look at. And fuchsias in the garden with their abundance of flowers in different shades of pink - what’s not to love!

My favourite flowers used to be roses but this year I have become besotted with salvias. The lovely perfume when you brush against them and the fact that the bees adore them.

I love daffodils that say spring is here x I also adore bluebells and snowdrops as the scent is so strong if you go on woodland walks and there are lots of them.

You have inspired me to do the 1/4 inch epp. You make it look so simple but it is a little hard to hold on to but I think that is half the fun. So far I have made one1/4 inch grandmother's garden flower and I feel proud of myself and I owe it all to you so thanks! My favorite flower is the yellow rose.

My favourite flower is the geranium. As it reminds me of my Grandad who used to grow them on the dining room window ledge inside. I find their fragrance unusual but comforting at the same time and love the deep pink petals too.

One favourite flower? My goodness... I'd have to say the bluebell since I've been in the UK - I will always think of them as a little nod of hope when we would find a patch on our exercise walks during lockdown.

How kind and generous you are . The gift of time in making something for another has to be one of the kindest acts in my opinion and I value handmade very highly.
My favourite flower (and it’s v hard to name just one favourite) is the rose from its initial bud to the Petals opening and then the changing colours as it ages and fades. I love it at every stage and will simply never gave enough roses in my garden 💕

I love most every flower, so it’s hard to choose! It depends on what’s blooming. In spring I love tulips and pansies, then into roses and peonies in summer, and on to hydrangeas and dahlias in the late summer and fall.

Violets. As a little girl I would pick them for my mom. They made a tiny bouquet but she loved the thought. So every time I see one I think of mom and call her.
