Giveaway is now closed - we have a winner!
Wowee, this is my 500th post! Go me! To celebrate such an auspicious occasion, I thought it best to have a giveaway. Can you believe I have never done one before? About time I say.
Recently I had the pleasure of inviting some special people over to eat some toast, drink some tea and take some snaps. You can read their gorgeous words and see their beautiful pics here and here. On her visit, Luisa gave me a sweet gift of the latest issue of Kinfolk magazine, and I'd like to offer it to you. To celebrate 500 posts and say thank you for dropping in over the years.
So without further ado, let's get this giveaway started. Nothing tricky, just leave a comment and I'll draw the winner on Friday 27 April. Go to it!

ReplyDeleteI came across your blog after reading Country Style a year or so ago (the issue with your dog on the cover). Your blog makes me want to call in sick from work and read it all day with a creative smile. The Tassie air has served you and your family well. Go for another 500! :)

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your simple living with us through this blog. And thanks for the lovely give-away. I was just thinking today how I will be asking for a subscription to Kinfolk come Christmas. :o)
ReplyDeleteI discovered your blog through che and fidel. your life as it is chronicled in your blog is just beautiful! thank you for offering kinfolk to a lucky reader. i love the magazine and currently have this issue on my ipad. i must confess though for my preference of a hard copy!!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos of your home on Luisa's blog and Che and Fidel blog. Jodi's words just filled me with longing to rush home (from work) and don an apron & cook for my loved ones and create a peaceful haven. Thank you for a chance to win a copy of Kinfolk.
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle, I can't recall how I first stumbled upon your blog but I do remember the feeling I got when I did....and even now as I click on my link to it I get a sense of anticipation and wonder what is going on this week? Your blog has opened my eyes to the beauty and bounty of Tasmania, and made me realise that there is a wonderful life to live regardless of where you live, it's about recognising the beauty around you and making the most of what you have. I have loved reading about your adventures in jam making, something I also tried for the first time this year, and about the trials & tribulations and courage required to move everything to the other end of the country....and seeing how that decision has been so fruitful has been for your business, and most importantly for your family and the opportunities you have to nurture them in such an idyllic place. I look forward to reading more about your adventures and wish you the best of luck. Warm regards, Amanda, South Australia
ReplyDeletep.s. I have just read a comment above and realised that I too came to your blog via beautiful Mabel in Country Style.
Congratulations on 500
ReplyDeleteI met those lovely ladies the next day...it was a total treat :-)
I love your blog although it makes me awfully home sick for my beautiful home town!
