Giveaway Winner!

Well, I remembered to bring our internet key to Turin, so I was able to go ahead and pick a winner for the giveaway...

And the winner is PASSION!! Here are the wonderful quotes she shared:

"I've loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night." Galileo Galilei

"Nothing is inevitable. The future is not written in stone." Claire from the show Heroes

"I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him."Galileo Galilei

"I find your lack of faith disturbing."Good old Darth Vader

I love the Galielo and chuckled to myself when I read the Star Wars quote (Vader is a favourite of mine ;) Thank you to all the entrants for sharing your wonderful quotes, you've given me much food for thought and have enriched my days with such wonderful words :)

I'll be sending you an email Passion, congratulations!!

Giveaway!! :D

I promised to set up my giveaway when I got back to Italia and I’ve been here for long enough now that I’ve settled back in, unpacked everything and tidied up, so no excuses. It’s Monday and what better way to start the week than with a giveaway?

Here are the goodies you could win…

A selection of postcards (9 to be precise)

6 sheets of labels and stickers. 4 French inspired and 2 from the Dutch Door Press.

4 letter sets (made up of 1 envie and 2 sheets per set).

3 envies recycled from clothing factory waste fabric & 1 uber cute kawaii card & 1 Fabriano Milano map bookmark.

This is international, so everyone is welcome :D

Giveaway?

I'm feeling the urge to host a giveaway. I know I don't have many followers, but who cares, you're all important, no matter how small your number and I want to give something back :D

It's also an excuse to spend a little money, and we all know I love doing that.

So, as I said, I'm contemplating it. I'll probably wait until I'm back in London because I have a shitload of goodies sitting there waiting to be doled out and I'm feeling generous!

I'm really missing my stationery stash. I only brought a handful of lettersets (i.e. 2 sheets and 1 envie) with me because I didn't think I'd be writing too much and seriously didn't even take into account the replies I had to write. I almost bought a Hello Kitty letter set in Ste Foy today, but I resisted. At 7 Euros, I didn't think it was worth the money.

However, on Monday I picked up these

A bunch of Lyon postcards.


Awesome Coke ad postcards.

The Lyon postcards are intended for my penpals, I would have bought more to spread the love a little further, but posties are expensive here! I managed to get a decdent deal which worked out to 50c a card, but in London I can get 15 for £1, less than 7p a card!! I guess there just isn't so much demand for touristy postcards here.

The coke ad cards are for my personal stash. Me and the bf have a large collection of vintage ad and movie poster cards, just plain bizarre cards, cards of our favourite modern movie posters and various cards from places we've visited that we will *eventually* combine into a huge collage and put into an appropriate frame. Who knows when we will finally get around to completing our project, maybe only when we have bought a house?? But we will do it... one day ;)

As I'm in Lyon, I don't know if I've had any replies in Italy, but I will ask the lovely bf to bring any mail to Torino this weekend, so I'll be able to get any replies out from Lyon next week.

Thank you for being patient with my constant moving around and the delays it's caused to my correspondence ♥
