As meteorological autumn beings on the 1st of September, I've put together a little prize to help you make the most of this time of year. I did the same thing last year and it seemed to be quite popular.
There's a couple of balls of Bergere De France Goomy 50 yarn in the Imprim Pail colourway, perfect for sock knitting, or perhaps you can think of something else to use it for. Whatever you decide, it's sure to knit or crochet up into something lovely and cosy ready for the cooler weather.
Evenings by the fire are always enjoyed more when you've got a good book on the go. I can't vouch for One in a Million by Lindsey Kelk myself as I haven't read it, but it's got some very good reviews so I'm hoping that whoever wins my giveaway will enjoy it.
It's now time to be planting bulbs ready for spring. I'm not a winter person, my favourite season is summer, so I'm always pleased to see some shoots start appearing heralding the start of spring. These are miniature tulips, just 15cm tall. I thought they'd look nice in some sort of container.
I can't have a giveaway without including some yummy treats. There's a bar of Green & Black's salted caramel flavoured chocolate, some dark chocolate ginger biscuits, a favourite in this house, and a selection of hot drinks.
The giveaway is open to all readers of this blog, old and new, near and far. You don't have to be a follower but it would be lovely if you would click on the link in the sidebar or follow on Bloglovin'. Please leave a comment on this post by midday on Monday the 9th of September 2019, after which, a winner will be drawn at random.
Thank you to everyone who reads this blog, especially those who leave a comment, it's always nice to know who my readers are and to build friendships. I really do appreciate you taking the time.
Congratulations on your anniversary, Jo! Here's to the next 9!
ReplyDeleteHi Jo,
DeleteI forgot to ask you not to put my name in the hat for your giveaway! Good luck to everyone else!
9 years! Congratulations! And what a lovely way to celebrate and mark the occasion! I've chalked up 2 and a quarter years now. I love autumn best of all as it always marked the return to school after the summer hols and I love those cool, misty mornings. Best, Jane x
ReplyDeleteHappy blog anniversary! I always love to read your blog :)
ReplyDeleteHappy blog anniversary. It's always been a pleasure to read, and comment on, your posts and I look forward to many more.

ReplyDeleteGoodness has another year gone swiftly by! I was lucky enough to win your wonderful prizes last year so you'd better leave me out of this year's. Congratulations on your nine years, long may you keep going. 😊
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! Nine years is quite an accomplishment. I had big plans for my 8th earlier this year then accidentally watched the date sail by without acknowledging it. Oops!

ReplyDeleteDear Jo
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blogversary! Here's to many more...
Best wishes

Wow, 9 years & I still enjoy reading, but don't include me in the draw. Way to expensive for Oz & they'd confiscate the bulbs & choccies before they hit my mailbox. I've some Bergere wool I was given by one of their reps & I must give proper sock knitting a go. I'll be in touch soon. Take care,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on clocking up another year of blogging. The blogging world has dwindled over the last few years but i'm so glad that there are still some of us around who prefer this way of making new friends, I do enjoy reading your varied posts.
ReplyDeleteI'd love for you to put my name in the hat for your very generous giveaway too :-)
Congratulations on nine years of blogging and looking forward to many more. If I'm lucky enough to win I will have to learn how to knit or crochet 😂
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThat lovely brown wool is begging to be made into a lacy cowl.
Happy blog anniversary, and happy September wishes too.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy my visits here :)
All the best Jan
PS Please don't include me in the giveaway
I just found your blog through Nana Diana...she seems to know where so many great bloggers abide:) I didn't realize when I popped over you were having a giveaway. What a great idea to do one each year. I might have to think about that for my blog once I get it going well again. I have blogged "off & on" for several years (not even sure how many). I love writing and it gives me an outlet. If you have time, feel free to drop in and have a "chat." Now I'm off to read some more of your blog. Congrats on 9 yrs! www.cherischatter.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on nine years of blogging. I just recently stumbled on your blog and I have enjoyed reading it. It's so nice to do the giveaway.
ReplyDeletewoo hoo - nine years! Still read many blogs including yours obviously! The wool especially looks lovely and I need a good lighter read! I'm far away. Since I started teaching, my blog has gone into hibernation - just need the 70 hours working weeks to hibernate!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I think I've only followed you for about three of those nine years and really enjoy reading about your activities. I wish I could crochet.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Jo, it is a pleasure to read your blog. Don't count me in for the giveaway as postage is outrageous but congrats to the winner.
ReplyDeleteWow nine years! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteNine years! Congratulations. Here's to many more. (No need to include me in your lovely giveaway). X

ReplyDeleteYay for nine years!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, congratulations! How time flies. That is a lovely giveaway.xxx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 9 year blog anniversary. It's an incredible accomplishment! I really enjoy reading it, so thank you. No need to add me to the draw as I live in Canada, but I did want to comment. ~Lynne x
