Spring Flowers and a Giveaway!!

 I love to put individual flowers in a little container all on their own so you can see the details...when i painted flowers all day i often had lots of small jars and egg cups on my desk with single flowers in to study closely....
 ..........the other day i spied my little crate of mini milk bottles and put some flowers in them.....
....they really brighten up my sewing room, looking so perfect and fresh....i do LoVe flowers ......and i decided to do a flowery themed giveaway for springtime.......as a thank you to my lovely readers and new followers......
....this is my springtime giveaway......a little greengate tin (lots of you liked the one that i showed you a while ago, and i managed to track down another one to give away), one of my gift style pincushions in the gorgeous green flower sugar fabric with a yellow ribbon, a circle of sweet flower head pins, and some pretty flower buttons.......
                                           ........the pincushion has one of my handmade tags...........
 .........of course you don't have to use the tin for sewing things, you could keep anything you liked in it ;)
to enter my springtime giveaway all you have to do is leave me a comment on this post... that's all.....it will be open for two weeks until March 21.......i am happy to send the giveaway anywhere in the world....do please make sure you leave a contact email address if you don't have a blog, so i can get in touch if you win.......

This is quite a short post tonight as i am having a really busy week and have a little toooo much crafty work to do so am hoping to get a few things finished by the weekend and spend a bit of time outdoors......my gardening was held up last weekend by sudden very cold temperatures so i spent a bit of time reading garden books and making plans instead of weeding and mulching....but next weekend should be warmer i'm told....

Thank you for popping in to see me here today it's always a pleasure to have your visits....... wishing you a wonderful rest of the week with sunshine and sweet spring flowers.....and good luck in the giveaway!
Back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    I was also a bit disapointed in the weather this week.
    I wanted to prepare our alotment but it was much to
    wet and soggy to work in!
    I'm so looking forward to sowing and planting again, I can
    hardly wait...
    And by the way, I would love to take part in your
    give away: it looks lovely!
    Kind regards from Mirjam.

    Wow 108 comments already! Even so, I would love to be entered into your giveaway Helen. I love all the things that you make and the Greengate tin would be lovely for me to store my stationery. The flowers in mini milk bottles is a lovely idea. I wish I had kept my school milk bottles! Have a lovely weekend. x

    Hi Helen - pink and green get me every time as a colour combo that is.

    I'm not a great lover of pink and do not do the whole girlie thing at all - even with two very sweet lovely little ones around me - but when teamed with green, well even I could not help but swoon.......just a little.

    love the giveaway,
