100 followers marks the start of ANOTHER giveaway!

All I can say is Wow. Over the past 2 days my blog has crept to over 100 followers! I can't tell you all how grateful I am that you all enjoy reading and seeing what I'm up to. Thank you so, so much ♥

Back in January I promised that once my blog hit 100 public followers I would launch a giveaway.

So to mark this miraculous moment, running simultaneously with my Vintage Clothing Giveaway, I present to you my Antique Edwardian Scrapbook giveaway! 

Please note that because of the weight of this scrapbook, this giveaway is only for UK readers. However, if you are outside the UK remember you can always try for the Vintage Jacket which is equally as beautiful!

ISN'T. IT. STUNNING?

Amongst the pages you can expect to find all sorts of ephemera type goodies, much of it is over 100 years old! Fantastic for any scrapbooker, paper-crafts fanatic, lover of curiosity, inspiration hoarder, collector.. Ideal for altered journals, all paper-crafts and even mixed media artwork (non-digital and digital), there are some real gems in there ♥

If you want a chance to get your hands on this lovely book, all I ask is that you follow me on my Blog, Facebook or Twitter and leave a comment on this blog post (let me know who you are if you're not a blogger so I know how to contact you if you win!). Simple as that!

This giveaway will run until the end of April 2011 after which I will write all entrants names down, fold them into teeny squares and then pick the winner out of a hat (to keep it traditional!)

UK only this time round I'm afraid, but don't let that put you off following, I will be having another giveaway soon which will be worldwide!

Spread the word, as soon as I hit 100 followers, the giveaway will begin and this beautiful scrapbook could be all yours!

Beautifully Tattered, and Gratefully received!

Remember my post back in May about the super-secret dress I was making for someone super-special? Well I finally finished it, and she received the dress yesterday and is SO happy with it, which makes me amazingly happy - and THAT means that I can now post pictures for you all to see!

The entire dress consists of both new and vintage materials. There's some really old lace mixed up in there that is so, so delicate. Also some hand-crocheted lace that my great-grandmother made herself. There are vintage doilies, shreaded silk, vintage buttons, scarves, ribbons.. I tea-stained a lot of the materials so they all went really beautifully together.

First up, a little self portrait I shot when the dress was 'in-progress'. I couldn't bear to send it off without taking a few little photos to remember it by!

And of course, some standard shots of the finished garment:
(I left the straps pinned like that so she can choose whether to have a halter-top or 'normal' straps)

And some close-ups:

Soon I will show the simply AMAZING dress that I received in return. Honestly.. it's stunning, I've never had anything so beautiful in my wardrobe :)

Enjoy ♥
