Giveaway

I am finally doing a giveaway. I feel like I am really moving forward with my miniatures and my blog now and I have those I follow and those who follow me and leave lovely comments to thank.

The prize is a filled miniature shelf, two scrapbooking frames, a miniature plant pot and a vintage china wall picture as pictured below:

 
Entries for the giveaway will close at Midnight on Saturday 1 February 2014 and I will announce the winner on Sunday 2 February 2014 - so you only have three weeks to wait!

To enter all you need to do is:
  • Be a follower of this blog using Google Friend Connect (right-hand sidebar).
  • Leave a comment on this post saying you wish to enter the giveaway.
It would be nice if you put a link to this giveaway on your blog but it is not a requirement to enter.

I also notice I am getting very close to 100 followers. If I reach 100 followers by close of entries I will come up with a second prize for the giveaway.

For those of you listed below who participated in my 'Spot the Difference' post prior to Saturday 11 January 2014, you have all won an extra chance in the giveaway. However, you will need to be a follower of my blog on Google Friend Connect and comment on this post to be eligible.
  • Cinderella Moments
  • Otterine
  • Pippibar
  • Lisa T
  • Eliana
  • Daydreamer
  • Veronique Blommaart
  • Steinworks
  • Fabiola
  • Elizabeth S
  • Jane Smith
  • Teresa Schubert
  • Tatiana
  • Keystone Crazy
  • Drora

I will close with a few photos of the Giveaway prize: -

The shelf complete with items. The wooden fretwork at the top of the shelf is a piece of a Kaisercraft scrapbooking border.


The pattern at the back of the shelf is genuine antique wallpaper. It is a vogue wallpaper by Allen Higgens Wall Paper Company. That company was the second wallpaper manufacturing firm to exist in New England. They were based in Worcester, Massachusetts between 1880 and 1950, so the wallpaper is at least 63 years old. I need to do more research but I believe the paper is probably more like 80+ years old.

This is the wallpaper:

 
Contents of the top shelf. A fancy silver serving dish for tiny sweets and serving tongs. These are made from jewellery findings.


Next shelf down. A small green glass vase (bead) and a vase of pink roses.


Next shelf down. A picture using a scrapbooking frame (two frames are included in the giveaway prize) and an angel made from jewellery findings.


Bottom shelf. A planter (made from a piece of cardboard fax paper tube and a bit of lace) and a mini 'Good Luck' postcard as pictured at the end of this blog entry.

 
As I also have an interest in vintage miniatures and many of my followers do also, I have added as part of the giveaway prize a china(?) wall picture.
 
 

Also included in the giveaway is an empty planter pot and two scrapbooking frames.

I've had fun (and a bit of stress!) putting this giveaway prize together. I hope you like it.

Best of luck everybody.

  1. O wow! That is a beautiful gift you have assembled! Yes, I do want to participate! Will fire up the old desktop later on to add a picture on my blog. I have been thinking of a give away too but keep pushing back the moment because I have no idea what I would offer. This year I will have one though.... sometime ;-)
    In the meantime, thank you for the opportunity and good luck to all!

    1. I was doing the same Veronique but then I decided to put a date on my blog as to when I was going to post a blog entry about my giveaway. That way I had to come up with something fast to meet the deadline as everyone was expecting a giveaway. Sometimes I work best under pressure.

    1. Teresa that is no problem at all. Adding a link is not a requirement. I know it took me a long time to work out how to get around my blog on Google Blogger and add things on my sidebar etc. If I can be of any help at any time please do not hesitate to contact me. You can email me - email link on my sidebar.

  22. I could've sworn I was already following your blog, I know I've been reading posts, but I must have forgotten to add your blog to my reading list. Fixed that problem. XD I'm now officially following you.

    Please count me in for your giveaway.
    I'm also going to add a link to my blog, to spread the word a little.

    Thanks for putting together such a lovely giveaway, and thanks for the nice comment on my blog earlier!

    1. That is really strange Kyle because I could have sworn I used to follow your blog also and yet I found I wasn't signed up to follow it. One of those mysteries!
