By way of a small "thank you" to all the followers who have shown an interest in my little Tea Rooms, I'm having a giveaway.
I've never done a giveaway before so after thinking long and hard over what to offer - bearing in mind that I don't really make miniatures, well not the way a lot of you make such marvellous things - I settled on an item that could be Tearoom/Gift Gallery related and something that whatever your style, be it traditional or shabby, hopefully you could find a use for it.
I'm giving away a Jane Harrop Luggage Rack and Butler's Tray kit* - that way the winner can either varnish or paint it, depending on their particular style.
All you have to do to enter is be a current follower and leave a comment. I shall be making the draw on Saturday, 28th January.
I understand from a couple of followers that they've been having problems leaving comments. If this is the case with you and you wish to be included in the giveaway, please email your comment (address on profile) and I'll make sure you're included.
Now that The Tea Rooms are finally finished, I can now quite happily share my new blog with you. The ultimate intention is to have one blog covering all properties. (If I'd been more "blog aware" I'd have only created one blog to cover all properties, but I wasn't!).
If you're interested, drop in here: Small and Stately and have a look. All welcome!
* The giveaway is for the kit only, other items in the picture are my own.

Fantastic giveaway! THanks for the chance to enter :)
ReplyDeleteThe comment problem is one that blogger are looking into. It's browser based, depending on which one the commenter uses. Firefox is one of a few that don't have the problem and the one I use so I've not run into any issues.
If you ever feel like you'd like all your properties on the same blog there's an import/export option in your dashboard. It lets you migrate all your posts from another blog onto this one and they'll slot into the correct date placements around what's already here.
Just mentioning in case that's something that you'd be interested in :)
Dear Irene, I would love to join your beautiful giveaway! Thank you for this opportunity.

ReplyDeleteWahat an exciting post, a giveaway and the start of a new blog. Of course I imedaitely went to see it, I 'll follow it with a lot of interest. What a kind way to celebrate the completion of the Apples Tea Rooms. It is a beautiful giveaway, please count me in.
ReplyDeleteI love what you have done with your tearoom, Irene. I have been working on a Bed &Breakfast with some friends for the past five years (we hate to see the project end, I guess). We hope to donate it to a retirement home or other suitable location for display. You have many wonderful ideas that will be helpful when we really start accessorizing our house.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog via the Whitledge/Burgess website and am enjoying it tremendously! Many thanks.

ReplyDeleteHola Irene, tienes un blog muy bonito, viendo este me puedo imaginar como será el nuevo, tu regalo también es precioso por favor cuenta conmigo, un abrazo Ana (mucuy) acamarah.50@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHi Irene, I don't know if I can do another house after I finish the one I am working on. .... but I notice you have three houses! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI want to turn the little bed in your Tearooms attic sideways against the open back of the house so everyone can see the nice cover you have made.
Do you glue your items in? Not sure what people do. I have glued most things in but I could probably (hopefully) release them with a sharp blade between the item and contact point.
I did review your older posts but I did not see where you had detailed making of the tables.
I have been watching your site since I returned to mini in 2010.
Regards Janine minworks.blogspot.com
Hello Janine - when things have settled down a bit and I don't feel as though I'm juggling blogs, I'll re-arrange the furniture in the bedroom (just for you) so you can see the dressed bed!
DeleteRegarding the tables, you're right, I didn't really mention them but there's a picture of them to the sidebar on the right. They were created from balsa wood and stair spindles. When I post the re-arranged bedroom, I'll post the tables as well.
I don't glue items in, at least not yet I haven't. Things on surfaces are on with Tacky Wax otherwise that's it.
It's nice know that you've been following for a while - in fact I've been following you since your return to minis in 2010!
What a beautiful giveaway! Please count me in.
ReplyDeleteYou know I love your Apples Tea Rooms, now I`m looking forward to see what you will do with your "new" great house.

ReplyDeleteHave a nice day, best wishes,

Thank you for following! This may be a long way round to post but it's the way I do it. Someone else may know a quicker way:
DeleteRight click the image showing the actual giveaway, then go down to where it says “view image info”, click on that and it will show a highlighted area in blue. Copy the http shown. Then, go to the top right of your blog and click “Design” then click “Add a Gadget” when it opens a new page. A box appears with a variety of choices, scroll down till you see “Picture”, click the plus sign. This opens a box “configure image”. Under Image “from the web” paste the link you’ve copied, then go back to my blog, copy the link at the top of the page and paste into the box marked “Link”. Hope that helps.
