GIVEAWAY - French Farmhouse Style!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.  THANK YOU!

I'm having my first giveaway here at the Evelyn and Rose blog.  It's time to celebrate 50 posts and spring!  I also want to thank you all for taking the time to read this blog.  I enjoy sharing my home decor, projects and ideas with you.  You have been so supportive and are amazing sources of inspiration for me!

So...I thought I'd offer a French Farmhouse Style giveaway comprised of mostly handmade gifts:


The winner will receive:
  1. Handmade pillow in floral cotton fabric (approx. 18 inches square).  Includes 14 in. square pillow form and removable (washable) cover.
  2. Runner made from burlap and white cotton (approx. 11 inches wide by 53 inches long).
  3. Miniature hand-stamped lavender sachet ornament, with blue/white ticking fabric on back.
  4. 3 hand-stamped coffee-dyed tags.
  5. Charming vintage sugar bowl (missing its' lid).
  6. And a few more surprises thrown in.  (sorry - chair and fresh flower not included, hee hee)


Here's a closer look at the smaller items:


For one chance to win, you simply need to leave a comment on this giveaway post. 
For a second chance to win, feel free to post about this giveaway or add my giveaway button (see my sidebar) to your blog with a link back here.  Then leave me an additional comment on this post letting me know you did.

That's it!  I hope one of you will enjoy receiving these gifts as much as I enjoyed selecting & making them.  The winner will be drawn next Sunday evening, May 29th.
Thank you, Susan
