I don't know if you've noticed girlies (oh I think I might have a coupla boys out there reading too) but I love English style nostalgia in my Beach Cottage tucked away by the sea in Australia. Call me perverse but I get a kinda gleeful little glow when I see the floral patterns alongside the wood floors, white painted furniture and putty stripe. Not that I am a big fan of the everything-Kidston look and it surprises me when whole homes are kitted out in it…anyway I thought there might be other people around, like me who can't get hold of the real mcoy very often without having to spend a huge amount, sowhen I saw these recently I bought two lots, one for my ensuite bathroom in the cottage and one for you!
So here's what you get, all beautifully packaged and oozing old English style – a dinky little soap, tube of hand cream, shower gel and lip stuff and a cosmetic bag - just stick them on the side in your bathroom or on top of a huge pile of white towels in the guestroom, too easy and pretty dang nice I'd say. Oh and I'll send anywhere in the world so it doesn't matter if you life in Timbuktoo…
What do you have to do to enter?
Leave a comment, any comment on any post, old or new (so it doesn't matter if it's from the archives) every comment gets an entry, leave 1, 2 or 102. Oh and I think if you leave more than 3 anywhere on this blog, I'll double your entries.
If you would like to put a little link on your blog, just put that in your comment that you've done that and I'll triple your entries. Too easy…
just copy this code
