A Pass-Along & Give-Away


I recently received this book, "The Fine Colour of Rust" from the lovely Claire at Thriftwood.  This book has been passed along a few times between various bloggers, and now it has come to me.  Thank you Claire for choosing my name!  I've now finished reading the book, and quite enjoyed it ... it's rather funny with some poignant moments as well, but a light read.  Here's the back to give you a better idea ...

 
So it's now my turn to pass the book along to someone who is interested.  This offer is open to anyone who is a follower of my blog.  If I choose your name from "the hat", I'll ship it off to you and you just have to sign your name to the enclosed card, read the book, and send it off again.  The book has already been back and forth across the ocean between England, USA and now Canada :) 
 
As a bonus, I'll also be enclosing with the book a small Springtime 'wee folk'  doll made from a Salley Mavor pattern. 
 
 
The dolls are wire forms with an embroidered felt tunic, silk flower petal dress and an acorn cap for a tam.  It won't be the exact doll shown, but something very similar (it's still in the works), but I wanted to get this post up before the weekend.
 
So just leave a comment that you want your name added to the draw, and I'll pull out a name on Wednesday, March 6.
 
Good Luck and I hope you all have a great weekend!!
 
Wendy

PS  Saw this little poem today, which suits my yesterday's post:
 
Snow, snow faster,
The cow's in the pasture.
 
Snow, snow give over,
The cow's in the clover.
 
 
Toodles!!

  2. Sign me up! The doll is so super cute!

    By the way, my cat only started sleeping in my pot this past week! The pansies have been long gone. But I might have an issue planting anything else there now!

    1. Okay Stacy, you're in the draw! Yes, I think your cat has staked his claim in that pot, and your pansies will have to find somewhere new ;)

    1. Hello Maria ... yes, of course, your name is in! If you could only see my street today ... piles of snow heaped on both sides & frozen solid!! We're still below 0, although the sun did shine today and I opened my patio door just for some fresh air (wheeled Smudge bunny over to the doorway to get some fresh air in his lungs too). Happy weekend to you ;)

  4. What a fun idea and a sweet gift doll. But don't add me to the list, because I am terrible at keeping up with my reading. ;)

    1. Fair enough Jo ... is it just me, or is that an odd comment for a writer to make? hmmm ... you ARE a puzzle! Enjoy your weekend ;)

    2. Maybe it's odd, but I'm also a mother and those kids don't leave me much time for reading. ;) I do love books though. :)

  7. Oh, ack! I wanna say put my name in the hat, but I fear my follow-through would be terrible, quite despite good intentions. So I'd best not enter. Your doll is so beautiful. Full of whimsy, and I love that embroidery detail!
