an old fashioned give away

9/11/15

**This giveaway is now closed.**

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I wanted to do an old fashioned give away to thank you for always being so kind and encouraging to me over the years.


When I look back at the seven years I've been writing this blog it has changed direction quite a few times. Whether is has been called Lemon Lane or Lemon Lane Cottage the heart of it has always been about sharing a bit of me and that has often included whatever craft happens to be my passion at any given time.


When I thought about what I wanted to offer you I knew it couldn't be a big ticket gift card to a store (not that I don't love me a good gift card!) but something from the heart, something that shares a part of me.  I know that sounds old fashioned but this blog has never been about competing with the big dogs.

So I decided to gather a few things that I've made over the years...


a bit of sewing with this quilted mug rug and log cabin pillow cover...


A pretty fabric fall banner...


A set of hand painted gift tag prints...


and some shabby embellished paper craft gift tags as well.

I know it's not much by today's standards but I have always thought the best gifts are ones offered from the heart.

Just leave a comment if you'd like to be entered and I'll pick a winner Monday morning.

Until then, have an amazing weekend.  We officially start soccer season around here so that's where I'll be the next hundred (or so it seems) Saturday mornings.

xo, Patty

    Good morning Patty. I love the mug rug you made for me, in the fabric. It sits on the table beside my sewing machine. I use it all the time. Someone will be thrilled to win this giveaway.
    No Fall soccer for us. Noah played summer basketball, and the girls are playing Fall softball. So we start that soon. I dread the hot ones.
    Have a great day!
    xo Kris

    Patty, Never under estimate the richness of a gift that is handmade. That is something that can not be bought in a store. I love your give away! Your stitching and art is beautiful and I feel honored to have my name in the hat.
    Thank you.
    Have fun at your soccer games . . . it sounds like a great way to send a Saturday morning.
    Keep Smiling, Connie :)

    Love the mug rug, pillow, heck I love it all. I would enjoy winning and using all of them. Know about the Saturday soccer games. Did that for about 10 years - loading up the old van with boys, food, drinks, etc. and heading out for fun and games. That player is 45 years old now, so enjoy it while it lasts.

    Patty, You are not giving yourself proper credit. People would rather have a handmade item as any store gift card. I think what you have chosen is adorable. Good luck to all of us who enter this giveaway. :):) blessings, xoxo,Susie
