Time for a giveaway to celebrate my 500th post! Before I show you the goodies, I'd like to say Thank You to each and everyone of you for dropping in to see me at Kickcan & Conkers. Your comments and encouragement make this whole blogging experience worthwhile and give me the impetus to carry on searching and sharing on a daily basis. Mille fois merci, mes amis!
I've decided to offer two giveaways, now that I have over 200 followers, both hopefully representative of my-almost-finished-and-yes-I'm-sure-you're-sick-of-me-saying-that shop. Kickcan & Conkers will be offering vintage and modern finds for kids and the young at heart!
So, the first lucky person will receive this fun Polish cardboard city toy and Polish folk picture book (short English translation provided), which I will be selling in my shop.
The second winner will receive this beautiful book by one of my favourite illustrators BlexBolex.
L'Imagier des Gens was awarded the Best Worldwide Book Design in 2009. My copy is in French, but the illustrations speak for themselves.

Watch this book trailer for the Italian version*, Immaginario.
If you'd like to enter my giveaway, please leave me a comment telling me which present you'd like to win and perhaps a word or two about what you'd like to see on the Kickcan & Conkers blog in the future. The usual drill applies, so if you spread the word via twitter, facebook, etc let me know and I will enter you twice.
The winners will be announced next Friday 19th March. at 2pm CET.
Thank You!
