This post is hugely late but nevertheless essential and heartfelt!
I won a giveaway! Oh yes, oh yes… lucky me indeed!
Back in November 2012, Tilly held a sewing social on Twitter which was such a hoot! It was here that I met Rochelle and boy was I glad I did. Have you seen her blog, Lucky Lucille? I have no idea how I managed to miss that one. Her styling, her content, her beautiful photography…. not forgetting her adorable loving pupster! I could go on forever or at least until I exhaust the dictionary of gorgeous adjectives but I really think you should have a look for yourself and then add it to your favourites because it deserves to be no place else!
Anyhoos, as if finding her blog wasn’t exciting enough, in December I won a giveaway on the Lucky Lucille blog – in time for my birthday! What a treat!
The packaging was the first delight. I almost didn’t want to open it. Almost, I said. There was only the tiniest hesitation, out of politeness, before I steamed into that package knowing exactly what was inside!
Wanna see?!
Not only this beautiful hand made bag, made by her own fair hand…
But also this amazing 40s pattern, Butterick B5281, which I have had my eye on for far too long. I can’t believe I actually have it in my own mitts now. And check out the gorgeous buttons too, as if this wasn’t spoilt behaviour enough!
I am so huuuuugely grateful Rochelle, not just for this amazingly generous giveaway gift, but for the absolute joy your blog brings!
Now go people, GO… check it out… but mind you don’t drool on your keyboard!
ahhhh! I just spent a half an hour on the Lucky Lucille blog, love it! Your bag is fabulous, you’re a lucky lady 😉
So easily done. Such an inspiring lady. Thanks Jayne 🙂
Yay!! Congratulations!
Love the buttons!!
They are so lovely, aren’t they?!
…and thank you so much! x
What fun! Congrats. 🙂
I’m a follower of hers as well, she makes pretty, pretty things.
I’ve made that pattern up a couple of times – it’s lovely. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
She does indeed! Oh fantastic! Are they on your blog? Off to see!
I see you found one of them! The other one (in a far more drape-friendly fabric) is here: http://macskakat.wordpress.com/2011/11/28/the-floral-forties-dress/
Yes I did see this one… in November 2011! Didn’t recognize it at first but again such a lovely version. I am definitely inspired!
Luck you indeed x
What a beautiful bag, well done winner!
Congratulations and thanks for steering us in her direction.
Janene, thank you so much for your sweet words! You are such a doll. I’m really looking forward to seeing your dress when it’s complete 🙂 xo
Such a beautiful bag and I can’t wait to see what you make with that pattern!!!
