Here's the thing: I absolutely love having giveaways. I've even made it a goal in life to be a more giving person, and I can't think of a better way to practice that than by having giveaways every Saturday for a whole year! I've been thinking about this for quite a while, so I've already started stocking up on things to give away: teas, tea-themed stationery, tea towels, cosmetics with tea, some teawares, some old things, some new things ... you just never know what you might find being given away here each week, so I hope you'll visit each Saturday!
To kick things off, I'm giving away this vintage Royal Albert teacup and saucer in the Needle Point pattern. Perhaps some stitching tea drinker needs this teacup? Or perhaps you need a black teacup? Or one with roses? (And hey, if it's not your cup of you-know-what, you'll be one re-gift ahead for next Christmas!)
To enter, just leave an "Enter me" to this post anytime between now and Friday, Jan. 13, at noon EST. That's how we'll play each week, running the giveaway from Saturday to Friday each week. I'll post the name of each week's winner the following Saturday when the new giveaway is announced. Good luck, and I hope this year's Saturday series will *give* you as much pleasure as it does me!
Oh Angela, you are so generous. What a fun idea for 2012! Enter me. That cup and saucer are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow! Very generous, indeed! I never would have guessed a year of give-aways as your next series! I was thinking, perhaps, scones!! It will be a fun year! BTW, I've never seen a teacup in this sytle. Let the fun begin!
