Ain't No Mountain High Enough

Is there anything she can't do?

My Image of The Day

Two Mountains by Marlen Karema

TM Bird Cushion Cover Giveaway Winner

It's almost midnight here in the South of France.

It's been a long and busy day.

A long and busy week, time flies n'est ce pas ?

Thanks for the lovely response to Marlen's work.

I know she enjoyed reading your enthusiastic comments.

She'll go far Marlen, I can feel it in my bones.

Unfortunately there can only be one winner, and thanks to Random.org that lucky person is:

Marta (No. 12)

Congratulations!

Sorry to disappoint the rest of you.

Why not come back tomorrow?

I have something as equally as special to give away then.

Bonnes nuit les petits !

Winter's Moon Tinplate Toy Giveaway Winner

Well, first of all, I'd like to say how pleased I was to read your enthusiastic comments about Winter's Moon. It's a great shop, as you've seen, and I hope you've bookmarked it for future treasure hunts. The girls at Winter's Moon are definitely here to stay!

Unfortunately, there can only be one winner. Rules are rules...

So, tonight, Random. Org picked No. 16:

Congratulations Mrs Agatha, you've won the super vintage toy car! 

Commiserations to the rest of you, but chin up! I've plenty more giveaways lined up, starting with this beauty from Tonis & Marlen.

à bientôt !
