And the winner is...

What a delight this give away became, I "met" so many nice people and found some delightful new blogs to visit. I also found some wonderful people who read my blog quietly. The randomly drawn winner of my OOAK junk pin is one of those ... Congratulations to Julie Q.
If anyone else would like to purchase a pin please visit my ETSY store, or ping me an e-mail. I was going to illustrate this post with steaming cups of hot tea, or the bingo game I used to draw the winner(after all I did ask about your favourite drinks - and thank you I did get some good ideas), but ... I was out gardening on Saturday and dear Archer was sending me MAD - he kept disappearing down the street. After collecting him for the fourth time and with storm clouds gathering I dropped him into the green waste bin. Just 5 minutes, I said.
Archer has such a good time tromping down the prunings and checking out the rest of the street, in fact he may have imagined this game of hide and seek was completely for his benefit, we managed to fill the bin before the rain came down.The little man almost fell out of the bin turning to pose for the photo above.
At the end of the morning's work Charles, who had observed the entire process, wanted to know why Archer was so tired.

Congratulations again Julie.

Well done Julie Q for winning Julie's beautiful pin! And thanks JulieH for running such a generous giveaway.

Oh, I love the story about Archer and the photos! He is such a little darling (even if he is a pest at times). Good idea to get him to 'help' with the prunings. He looks quite at home there..

Glad that Charles supervised the process and kept an eye on things (he is a beautiful boy).

Love you

Dotee xoxo
