We have a winner!

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

I am pleased to tell you that we have chosen a winner for our May Giveaway. I was drinking a cup of tea when I read this comment – big mistake – as I managed to almost choke with laughter…

The winner is Susie and this is what she said “We went for dinner at a Chinese restaurant. Halfway through the meal and everything was going great. Except I didn’t realise that my chunky bracelet had caught itself on the handle of a serving bowl. I made a sweeping gesture and catapulted a whole dish of sweet and sour across the neighbouring table and its diners. I have never been so embarrassed and I have never been back, which is a pity as it is a really good restaurant.”

We have contacted Susie and are waiting for her details to send her apron to her.

Watch out for a new giveaway to be announced shortly!

Apron Giveaway!

Saturday, May 7th, 2011

I like to think that the Duchess of Cambridge might be wearing one of our aprons while she’s cooking a romantic dinner for her new hubby. Scrolling through our ladies’ aprons I decided that this one was the most appropriate given that she is required to keep calm at all times!

We have one of these adult size aprons to give away if you can leave a comment telling us what your first meal together or your newly wedded meal consisted of and if it was a success or a disaster.  I’ll choose the one that makes me laugh most by the end of May…

My Mum & Dad were married just after WWII (while there was still a fair amount of rationing). The day after they were married, he went back to work and she prepared her first meal for him. Unbeknown to her, he had received a wedding gift of a sack of seed potatoes for planting and – yes – you guessed it – she cooked them!

There were no ill-effects and they remained married for ever. Dad grew all our vegetables and never again kept his seed potatoes in the house…

If you can’t wait until the end of the month to find out if you’ve won, you can purchase this apron here (we’ve enlarged the design to make it easier to cut around all those scrolls in the crown…).

Want one of these?

Time is running out – if you don’t already receive our newsletter, sign up before the end of July – only a few days left – and you could be the lucky winner of this gorgeous apron… All you need to do is add your email address to the sign up panel in the banner above. I will choose, with the aid of a random number generator, one new newsletter subscriber from all those signed up by 31st July. For full details see here.

The apron we have chosen is petite size and is ready and waiting to be sent to the winner as soon as possible after the draw has taken place. You will love this apron – it’s our take on the pre-WWII poster.  The applique fabric is Cloud 9′s totally organic cotton in a duck egg blue speckle spot and we’ve filled in the crown with lots of sparkling diamante crystals – each one applied by hand!!
