Roll up, roll up! It's giveaway time!

Lampwork Poppy PendantI realised yesterday that I haven't done the name-in-the-hat thing for ages, have I? Thought I'd better rectify that.

The prize this time is a pretty Poppy pendant. The bead is quite chunky, very tactile and comfy-to-wear. The pendant is ready to be slipped onto a chain or ribbon. All the findings are sterling silver.

If you fancy a shot at winning it all you have to do is leave a comment, or email me if you prefer, telling me what your favourite flower is. I'll also need your full name. (Last time I wrote that a few people gave me their middle names as well which isn't necessary but if you feel like sharing your middle name with me please go ahead and do so!)

The prize draw is open to anyone anywhere in the universe but it's only one entry per person, folks.

I'll put all the names in the Lego Tombola on the evening of Monday July 13th and I'll draw a winner and announce who that lucky person is here on my blog.

Good luck!

  5. Hi Laura

    This is a difficult questions to answer as I love so many flowers, for different reasons. BUT, will pick sweet peas - they are very colourful, remind me of summer and have such a wonderful fragrance (and it's one thing I can grow, without killing!!)

  6. Sweet Peas for me - the scent takes me back to my childhood - although there is something magical about a field of poppies - love it.

  13. Gorgeous pendant Laura. I love poppies and dragged hubby out with his camera the other day to take pics in our local fields. I haven't got one favorite flower as I love poppies, daffodils and bluebells. I love to see how the bluebells fill the woods with a gorgeous carpet of blue. :o)

  15. My favourite flower has to be a gardenia. I love the purity of its colour (which soon fades to yellow), the fleshiness of its petals and the scent....mmmm....there's nothing like a warm summer's evening with the heady scent of gardenia in the air (not in this country of course!)

  17. Laura - this pendant is gorgeous. My favourite flowers are tulips - I love that they are a bit chaotic in the vase and they continue to grow after they have been cut.

    Ooh fabulous poppy pendant Laura! :) My favourite flowers, after much consideration, are mesembryanthemums (a tough one to spell!!) but they're simple and brightly coloured :D
    Best of luck to everyone entering the draw!
    Best wishes,

  24. Super pendant giveaway Laura, thanks for the chance!
    I love delphiniums, even in a balcony trough they grow and grow and grow, upwards and outwards and still remain architecturally pleasing somehow! They come in a range of fabulous blues with bright white starry centres - only caveat: no perfume but gorgeous nevertheless.

    I love Tulips too and blowsy roses!

  28. Striking pendant Laura!

    I can't choose between the crocus (gorgeous, vibrant colours so early in the year), tulips (again, fabulous colours), and freesia, both for their colour and scent.

    Then again, there is the pretty little bell shape of Lily of the Valley, and it's wonderful aroma!

    Good luck everyone :-)

  29. Loved the poppy beads and the pendant is gorgeous! I'd have to say my favorite flower is the sunflower. I also love wisteria, it reminds me of my grandmother.

  30. I love your poppy beads, especially the way the ones on the back come through so it's like a closeup photograph taken in a field of them, those are the ones in the background.

    My favourite flower is corn flower and calendula comes a close second. Both easy to grow, the reason the corn flower wins is the exquisite blue colour. Mmmm ... blue ....

  31. My favorite flowers are pink tulips! I can't grow tulips because of the deer, so my engineer brings me them when they are in season!!! I love your poppies, too, thanks for having a giveaway!

    Love your poppies. Favorite flower? Well, that's like asking for a favorite food!

    I love flowers where you can see their reproductive parts all huge and laden with pollen - like Oriental Poppies and Tulips. Fav is bright yellow tulips!

  37. Hi Laura
    What a beautiful pendant - just gorgeous. I do a lot of work for the British Legion so the poppy is one that has a special meaning. I also love the beautiful, tiny but perfectly formed flowers of the forget-me-not but my favourite of all has to be the daisy. You can cut the lawn however many times you like yet the daisy will always bounce back.
    Good luck to everyone.

  38. That pendant is absolutely stunning Laura, what beautiful work!

    I've got loads of favourite flowers, if I had to choose I think I'd say either a lily-of-the-valley or a bluebell :)

  39. Sweetpeas for me too, just such a great reminder of my childhood.

    If pushed daffodils come in second - they're such a cheerful flower!

    I love your blog btw, it's always a pleasure to read!

    Gerbera for me I have to say - in the most shocking pink or orange! They always cheer me up...
