G'day lovely bloggers.
Fancy a Beach Cottage Giveaway? Well it's my birthday next week so here we go, a little way to make your life more beautiful for free – a Beach Cottage Putty Stripe Table Runner and Decor Ball…shipped anywhere in the world…
I'm hooked on cotton and nautical stripes and neutral colours, who isn't? Which is why I love the Beach Cottage putty stripe soft furnishings…all you need for a pared back, relaxed coastal feel and so easily teamed up with vintage furniture, thrifted finds and of course heaps of white candles for that cool baby old beach house ambiance…
All you need to do to enter is leave a comment and or follow me on Twitter and Tweet this post.
And I've gotten myself a new button, so if you'd like to grab that and stick it in your sidebar and link to me from your blog (just copy the code below and paste it into the html section of your site), I'll double up your entries….easy as pie as they say round here…
Nice pictures. Love that shade of brown!
love the table runner!

I’ve always been partial to stripes
Jane T. @atticmag.com
Yippie for weekends,
balmy winter days down under
and finding the colour schemes that make you feel all beachy.
Have fun with your weekend plans. Me I am off down the coast, photo ops, mum, and in search of old chippy kind of doors.
Would love to win that runner! I have just the spot for it. Thanks.
Love the putty stripes too! Beautiful room!
Oh I want to win!! Pick me please please please!
Michelle
OMG OMG Plz pick me! I’ll change my name so it matches yours.
Wait….see??? I already did that! Which totally deserves at least a table runner and decor ball, if you ask me.

I don’t twitter, wowwy *as my daughter says.*

I a hundred percent love cotton and nautical stripes and neutral colours! So I take my chance. And your story is so interesting…, picking a different country (in your case a continent), researching it, finding a job, then moving. Impressive. I always wanted to live by the sea in the United States and at age 35 it came true when I met my (now) husband while visiting a friend in New York.
You are very talented and I love the giveaway
Adore this blog of yours – I have you listed on my sidebar on my blog and love dropping by to visit! Please enter me in your great giveaway – that runner is divine! Please enjoy your birthday and stop by and visit me at herhousehold.blogspot real soon!
Sincerely, The Lady of the House in Boise, ID

Hi Sarah, As always stunning pictures. Have a fantastic birthday and please do enter me in the giveaway. Would love to have a bit of the “beach cottage” going on here. Thanks.
Happy birthday (a bit soon, but hè).
And I love to be entered in your giveaway.
I have added your button. You’re the first blog button on my blog. Not the last one, I think.
Happy Birthday Sarah…since I’m repainting the cottage wall boards (white) I’m sure the runner would look wonderful!
xo Roberta
The simplicity of the stripes do it for me – simply ‘beach’ perfect.
Hugs ~ Kerryanne
Wonderful giveaway! Wonderful site! I get some many ideas for my coastal home from you!
Yes definately, I would actually use it at the foot of a bed at the beach. Love it.
Oooh I would LOVE this! I live by the sea too and am obsessed with all things nautical. Have added you to my twitter as well anyway!
The runner wants to come to my house.
It knows it would be perfect in my dining
room. Truly.
Have a great day!

Hi Sarah.
Great giveaway!!!!!!
Sandy
Ok, here ya go…I’ll trade ya my blue picnic basket for your COFFEE TABLE!
I really love that ole table but it looks much better in your cottage by the sea than it would in my West Texas cottage.
Everything you touch turns to pure magic!!
Hello, you’re the number one in my Google Reader list, because I love your blog with the beautiful pictures and the relaxed ‘beachy’ atmosphere in your cottage. I’ve been inspired by you and painting a lot of my (brown) furniture into white or grey and I love it!!
Thanks for sharing. I also like your give-away.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed
Regards from Holland,
Anita
Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great relaxed day.
I have also (like the comment above me) been inspired to paint some of my old brown furniture, white! =) Would love to have a chance at winning your neat table runner.
I also put your button on my blog!
Rebecca

LOVE LOVE that runner!!
Thanks for the great give-a-way!
I am a stressed out working mommy who comes here for “serenity now”. I want you to adopt me! I adore your home and this blog – would be thrilled if you picked me. Have a great weekend.
That table runner is to die for! Please include me. I will definitely be adding your button to my blog. Woo-Hoo! Fingers Crossed. Have a GREAT weekend. It’s supposed to be icky hot here. So I will most likely be indoors.
I just got a new/old dining table and need to freshen it up and make it more beachy — I think the runner would look great there! Love your site and will continue to come back for more ideas and inspiration!
i am loving the simplicity of your home and trying to make mine more like it. this runner would be a perfect addition! happy birthday!!
My bday is next week too…so I’d love to win
The table runner is beautiful! Love your site.
I love your blog. We live in on an old farm in apple country in western NY state. If I wasn’t enjoying lazy days in the country (actually, there is never a lazy day in the country-always work to do)I would be in a beach cottage at the shore. Thanks for a great site!
Happy Friday Sarah and Happy Bday next week! I’d love to enter your fabulous giveaway and I’ll also add your button to my blog.
Love the stripes! And the cottagey, beachy look. Would go so pretty with a shades-of-white room.
Enjoy the blog.
LOVING the table runner. I would be so excited to win this. We are building a house (first time) and I am doing my best to get it furnished without blowing the budget – meaning a lot of found treasures, and your blog has been a great inspiration.
Happy Birthday!
Love the table runner and your blog. It’s one of the first ones I read every morning.
Lovely runner! The taupe and white is so crisp. Reading your blog and drooling over the pictures of your home is a treat and a get-away!
Love your giveaway. Happy Birthday to you…happy birthday to you…
Love your blog. I have gotten many good ideas for my house from yours. Please enter me.
Happy Birthday early!!

Luv your blog and thanks for the international give-away, looks delightful!
Happy Birthday! I love the neutral stripes…
What a fun giveaway! The pictures are beautiful!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Howdy, Miss S. I’ve been looking at the blue & white runner I’m currently using on my coffee table & thinking your stripes would be a really nice substitute. I can see it on my trunk. I can see it on the patio. I can see it on the buffet. Such a versatile textile… I’d love to have one to show off.
Updated the button in my sidebar… this one’s really nice!
Pleasant day
Love your blog! I check it out everyday while I am at work (sshh, don’t tell anyone). Would love to win this stuff for our beach cottage!! Have a great weekend!
Love the table runner. It would look great in my home. Thanks.

Happy birthday! I love all the white/tan stripes you have in your home, and I’d love to win
Happy Birthday, Mrs. BC! But shouldn’t YOU get something since it’s your special day?! That runner and deco ball would surely look swell anywhere in my house! But even if I don’t win it, I’ll keep visiting you down under!
Thanks, Sabine
OOOOHHHH I love Beachy stuff! Too bad I live in Kansas
Lovely giveaway – now following you on Twitter.
Had friends round for relaxing dinner, including 5 kids between us. They have spent 8 years in Australia.

Hi Sarah!
Oh, I’m so excited to be commenting on my Favorite Site of All (not kissing up to you just so I win the runner, it’s really true! But if it helps any: KISS, KISS) So, because of you I started my own blog, started seeing all these other cool sites (from the buttons on YOUR site), and am starting a whole new life. How’s that for inspiration? Well, YOU have inspired ME, so there!! I love the look you’ve got going in your little cottage by the sea. I admire your restraint and your style: with color, furniture accessories and words. What more can I say? I love you and your blog! Have a wonderful Birthday!! Heidi (PS come see me: Heidi-HeartandHome.blogspot.com XXOO
Here’s to ridiculously long lists!
I love the neutral colors and the combination is calming!

Happy Birthday!
Sharon
cute, I love your house, and your blog, so cute!!!!
I lust daily for all I see here, and say my prayers for a cottage on a lake, the beach being too far away. It would be unfair to the rest of us if you adopted Rochelle, although I understand her request; you must take turns.
Your colors are my colors – please enter me in this lovely Happy Birthday giveaway. And Happy Birthday!
I haven’t jumped on the Twitter bandwagon, so the commen shall be my entry.
The table runner is awesome!
I would MORE THAN fancy a chance to win these two fabulous things. I would put the runner on my repurposed (another word for found and brushed off:) dining room table and the ball would go on my nightstand.
I found your wonderful bloggy spot through The Soft Landing..and I’m just so happy about it. I will DEFINITELY be a daily reader.
Linking to you with your button!
Rather partial to a stripe or 10 myself. Hope Mr BC and the kido’s are good to you on your birthday. Enjoy your weekend.
Of course enter me in your giveaway…Sea Cottage would love to have a touch of The Beach Cottage to adorn her seaside decor. How kind you are to give to us, on your birthday. HaPpY BiRtDaY!!! Do all that you dream.
HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY SARAH,
I DROPPED BY TO WISH YOU YOUR FIRST HAPPY PINK SATURDAY….I GUESS I AM A TAD EARLY…LOVELY BLOG

Your blog is always inspirational and brightens up a dull day. Decorating is one of my passions and I get so excited when you see new ideas and fresh ideas that work. I have put you on my side bar but unfortunately I hardly ever get around to blogging seriously so not much happening on my blog. Had my first time look at twitter. Been wondering what the fuss is about. What was different from facebook etc but obviously its more instant chatting thread.
Beautiful give aways as usual. But your taste is superb and you have a generous spirit obviously. Thanks Sarah
I’m in!
And you even ship to Norway?
Oh, I’m crossing my fingers. These would go so well in my beach house outside Oslo!

I think I’m hooked on YOUR nautical stripes! You’ve done it so well.
I’ve really dived into sewing lessons, so I think I’m very close to being brave enough to re-cushion just about everything…including the dog’s bed! So I think some stripes may be in my future, too.
Happy Birthday – I would love this, but who wouldn’t?
Wow!….what a classy giveaway..i love it!
I have your button on my blog since yesterday!…

Wishing you the best birthday ever!
