I've got a bit of it, Ms. VintageRicRac has a lot up her way, and just about every one of my favorite bloggers/crafty people just impress me so much with their great innovative and ORIGINAL ideas.
So to get the giveaway ball rolling , some vintage crafty paraphernalia............
Very vintage patterns and Woman's Day booklets,
A mint 70's tea towel and pillowcase,
A piece of this cute little girl fabric,
and some other craft basket goodies......
And of course , I almost forgot, I started Lino Forest ONE year ago, which makes it a bloggiversary as well. So there is also this Betty Jo Sparrow brooch in the prize!
This brooch is made with vintage lino, some lovely old buttons, a snippet of embroidery and the tip of a knitting needle for an eye. It comes packaged with this pretty birdy swap card.All you have to do is leave a comment with your idea for a NEW Betty Jo design...I'm up for anything cute, and will even try to create some of the suggestions.I will choose a random winner next Friday.
ohh la la, it really is a big giveaway! what about a sweet little deer like the ones in your banner?

Oh my goodness, that really is a giveaway! How about some little Australian animals, maybe a bilby or a wombat? They'd be great done in Betty Jo style. Congratulations on your blogiversary. Also, a quick question - what book is the picture in your banner from? I remember the picture from my childhood, and would love to track it down!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic prize! You are so generous.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts being solely on crafting today, I have three suggestions! First is a sewing mannequin (oh, the possibilities!), second is a knitting basket and the third is (of course) a sewing machine!
Wowser! What a giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteNow for ideas..... ummm.....
What about some gnomes, mushrooms, scissors, bluebirds, a rainbow... ooh, yes a rainbow. That would be beautiful.
Ooh I'd love to see a giraffe, a lion, or a fairy.
ReplyDeleteWow, look at all that, this is a mega giveaway! The first thing that popped into my head was a cute little house...:) Congrats on your first birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Bloggiversary...what a fantastic giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHow about a circus tent or a lions head....
What about a pair of shoes? :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway. I've already been lucky with one of your giveaways so you don't need to count me in. I'd like to second Michelle's suggestion though for some craft related designs. That would be sensational.
ReplyDeleteWe thought you would make a cassette tape or a set of canisters.
ReplyDeleteWow great giveaway. Getting in early what about Christmas Trees
ReplyDeletelove the pattern books and so loving the ric rac.
ReplyDelete50's caravans are cute and maybe some of those cute beach houses but if animals are more your thing what about a dragonfly or a blue bird.there cute.
Eveything you're offering are beautiful. Thanks for the generosity. About ideas, I'm very partial to cats, kittens, any one in that family (lions, tigers, etc).
ReplyDeleteI love the owl, my favorite animal right now! My next favorite would be a turtle, sea turtle to be exact, but a land turtle would be cute also. You could do an undersea theme with a seahorse, starfish, angelfish, sea turtle, etc...
ReplyDeletewhile planning a trip to japan - it only seems appropriate for my suggestions to be japanese related...i would love to see a geisha or an origami crane! i'm keeping everything crossed for a geisha!
ReplyDeleteEither an elephant or a pair of lovebirds...........Only found your blog a few weeks back and have really enjoyed catching up with it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great and generous give away! Happy blogiversary!

Thought I'd throw my suggestions in the mix, I agree a sunbonnet girl would be cute, or a hedgehog or a hot air balloon with a little basket. Congrats on your anniversary.
