I'm having a giveaway! Why, you might ask? Just because every now and then I like to express my gratitude to all of you out there --- my loyal T-Cozy readers, friends and T-Party patrons.
Here's what you could win . . .
A lined notebook with a vintage bark cloth cover. This 80-page blank journal is nestled inside my handmade floral bark cloth notebook cozy embellished with two vintage buttons and bright yellow rick rack trim.
A two-ounce tin of T-Party's popular Vintage Rose loose leaf tea. This fragrant blend is a Victorian Earl Grey of black teas, rose petals, lavender, rosemary and Bergamot oil.
A stainless steel tea ball. This 2-cup fine mesh ball with clamp closure, chain and hook comes in its own pink organza storage bag. To use, fill to half its capacity with loose leaf tea and steep for at least three minutes.
A fluffy and fun novel. High Tea by Sandra Harper is a story about four women working together in an English tea shop in Los Angeles. It includes recipes, too.
If you'd like a chance to win these items, please leave a comment on this post by midnight Sunday, October 11. I'll announce the winner on Monday, October 12. For those of you who are shy about leaving a comment, please don't be. I'd love to hear from you. And if you're new to leaving comments and are not sure how to do so, I have simple instructions shown on the right.
Even if you choose not to enter this giveaway, please know that I appreciate your readership, comments and kind support over these last 2-1/2 years and 520 posts. Many thanks!
Susan

How fun! T-Cozy is always so inspiring, and now I think you've inspired me to have a thank you giveaway too. All I have to do is figure out what.
Today I shared Wizard of Oz bags I made to help raise funds for our new library. Come take a look, they're colorful.
Now I have an excuse to make something new to give away, thanks!
