Morning Noises

Poules
Coucou c'est granny

I was up before the crack of dawn again.
Too much to do, too much on my mind.

This wonderful hen reminded me of these illustrations by Alain Grée

A fun, colourful start to the day!

A quick reminder about my 100th-post giveaway - one more week to go (Sunday 20) before Miles chooses a winner.

A huge thank you to Zoë over at Conversation Pieces for my first award in blogland.



I'm thrilled to bits to receive this Lemonade gratitude award and will be passing it on to some of my favourite blogs in the none too distant future.

Well, believe it or not, this blog is 100 posts old today! I've been on a roll lately and really didn't realise that I'd written so much. Anyway, hope you are all enjoying Kickcan & Conkers. I've got so much to share with you and of course, there's my shop, which should be opening in the next couple of weeks.

I've decided to organise a little give-away to celebrate my first blog milestone. I am offering the following three vintage treasures:

a French wooden tray puzzle

A French vintage classic - Sous l'Océan by Alain Grée
(sorry about the photo)

Abbatt Toys snap cards in original box

If you'd like to enter into the give-away, just leave me a comment telling me which of these three finds you prefer and why. The usual rules apply, if you blog or tweet about the give-away you'll get one extra entry (make sure you let me know though!). I'll randomly pick a winner on Sunday 20th of September. Look forward to hearing from you - à très bientôt!
