I Heart Skye Reve

This is going to be a long post.

Because it's about fabric.

And not just any fabric. It's about the wonderful Skye Reve fabric I won over at I Heart Naptime a little while ago and I'm so excited I can't wait to share it!

December Give-Away

Some time ago (all the way back here) I promised you a give-away of this bag:

But time slipped by -as only time can- and no more was heard of it....

Until now.
In the spirit of clearing old debts and getting ready for a  New Year and a clean slate, it's now officialy give-away time.

Fully reversible.

One side is a black natural linen with the added interest of a section that has been ribbed and a strip of the loveliest striped natural cotton in a muted olive green and white.

The other side is a sheer organza with a big opaque floral motif on it. It is backed with natural canvas. 

If any of you remember, it is the perfect twin of this bag listed in the shop, with the only exception that it had a small imperfection.

(If you notice the bag on the left has a little gap in the seam on its right. That's where it escaped the thread.....This will be sewn together, but as any handsewn article can attest, it won't be totaly invisible......)

There is only one requirement for you to be in the draw, and that is to leave a comment telling me what you'd like to wear a bag like this with.

For extra entries you can do any of these:

(But don't forget to  leave a seperate entry telling me you did so, so that it can be counted as an extra entry)

2. Heart OnePerfectDay shop on etsy

3. Tell me what your favourite item in OnePerfectDay etsy is.

4. Like OnePerfectDay on facebook.

5. Follow OnePerfectDay on Pinterest (button on top right hand side of blog).

6. Tweet about the give-away.

7.Share this give-away on facebook or blog about it.

The give-away is open to anyone, internationaly.

Open from 15-30 December 2011.

A winner will be announced on December 31 and your prize will be shipped in the New Year when the post office re-opens.

Please make sure there is a way for me to contact you (blogger profile, etsy shop,etc).

If I cannot contact the winner or if the winner fails to respond within a week there will be another draw.


Good Luck!

I spy......Auka Winter Wonderland Magic

This week I spy a magical winter wonderland in the beautiful miniatures created by the super talented Ana of Auka on etsy.

Perfect winter scenes, strewn with pristine, irridescent snow;

idylic winter woodland scenes, by glistening ponds;

childhood snow-time fun...

with mandatory snowman;

Christmas ice-skating in the park

-all small enough for you to carry around on your ring.

How could you resist?

When visiting Auka on etsy make sure you check out the sold section for some equally fabulous summer sea-side scenes.

(Thank you Annuk for the introduction.)

 

Craft Show!

Off to the show!
