my giveaway winner

A HUGE THANK YOU

to everyone who took part in my first giveaway.  I was thrilled to see so many people and Patricia was thrilled about all the compliments paid to her handwork.  It's been a wonderful way to meet a lot of new faces, I've even become a follower to my first Ukrainian blog!

Thank you also for  the lovely comments and emails you wrote about my etsy shop. As you know this is also fairly knew to me, and thanks to your help, I've been able to understand more about what you like.   In particular I have changed my approach to shipping costs.  After a long chat to our village post office, I was able to improve the cost of posting out my little treasures.  Now, instead of bothering you with the details of how much shipping costs, I'm just putting up the items at an all inclusive price, delivered to your door!

So here, without more ado,  I am happy to announce that the winner of this pretty set is

Mara

from

If you don't know Mara's blog yet, you should pop over and have a look.  She is Italian, from Padova, and her blog is full of the happiness and lightness of spirit that the Italian girls seem to do so well.

Congratulations Mara, send me an email with your address and the little packet will be on  it's way!
