A Very Bloggy Giveaway

It's nearing the end of day one of my Very Bloggy Morning Tea. Thanks for all your encouraging words and generous donations. We're already well over halfway to my fundraising goal. Hooray!

I thought I'd better share the details of the promised giveaway. Thanks to some very good and kind folk, I've got five great prizes:

1) A copy of Loani Prior's excellent book 'Really Wild Tea Cosies'. I have her first book, 'Wild Tea Cosies', and I love it! Even if you're not a knitter, I'm sure you'll enjoy this book just for the incredible pictures and ideas.

2) Thanks to my great friend Nicole (she's my dealer), I've got a $50 gift voucher at Craft Queen to give away. Nicole specialises in beautiful ribbons, buttons and papercraft supplies. You've seen her buttons on many of my handknits - here, here and here are some examples. I could use this gift voucher several times over, let me tell you. But I won't. I'll give it to one of you instead.

3) An Australia's Biggest Morning Tea merchandise pack which includes a mug, tea towel, apron and oven mitts signed by ambassadors Manu Fieldel and Pete Evans. Cool and useful!

4) A pair of glorious orange mitts knitted by me. Not the ones in this photo, but a pair very much like them which don't yet exist but will very, very soon, I promise! There'll also be a matching mug cosy - photos of that soon!

5) Finally, the lucky door prize, this is a glorious thrifted teapot tapestry that will look gorgeous framed and on the wall of one lucky winner, or even made into a cushion cover, if you're that way inclined. I don't know who made it, but I'm guessing they like a cuppa as much as the rest of us.

Here's what you have to do to be in the running. Just pop over here and make a donation, if you haven't already. Then leave me a comment here to let me know which of these prizes you'd like to win (you can nominate more than one). I'll draw the winners at the end of the Very Bloggy Morning Tea. You can also let me know via email - typicallyred@yahoo.com.


You don't have to be a Typically Red follower to win (though you're entirely welcome if you so desire), just a generous giver of money to very good causes. It doesn't matter the size of your donation, either. But if you're a blogger and you'd like a second chance to win, help me spread the word. I'll be endlessly grateful.


Oh, and just so you know, I don't see any of the money. It goes straight to the Cancer Council via their fundraising page. It's all above board, people!


Good luck! And see you tomorrow for more tea and cake.
