I recently won 3 giveaways… I know! Strange.. I never usually win anything .. so the 1st impressed me… the 2nd and 3rd were on the same day, so surprised and delighted me! Here they are for you to see and me to gloat! Thank you to each of you lovely bloggers for these delightful prizes.

This blogging gig is some kind of wonderful!

St Joshua Blogspot

My first win was from St Joshua blogspot. St Joshua’s blog and Etsy sell these beautiful handmade rings carefully crafted from rustic watch faces. Clever yes? Well the image below is the ring that I won. Below are the links to his blog and Etsy shop. While you are over there, check out his wife’s blog ‘Painted White’ which is equally delightful eye candy for those lovers of antique, white and old world charm!!

Armchair Trader & The House That A-M Built

The second win was from one of my favourite bloggers, the ever amusing and stylish A-M [from the incredible blog ‘The House That A-M Built]!! I was the lucky winner of Rituelle Bath Products from her Online Shoppe, The Armchair Trader. My prize consisted of both Fragrant Bath Soap & Shower Gel in delicious Jasmine & Tuberose. Just in time to cleanup after all that red dust!! OH.. and the wrapping on the gift was absolutely fabulous [beautiful pink paper tied with the most adorable organza ribbon!] It’s so beautiful and carefully wrapped, I feel like it should be under a Xmas Tree.

The Armchair Trader stocks gorgeous homewares, stylish handbags and of course beautiful Bath Products, amongst other incredible goodies [worth a little wander to plan some Xmas shopping I think!!]. Pop over and see both her blogs and Online Shoppe
