DAY 2 GIFT NOW SHOWING: 11 Days of Kaisievics' Birthday Giveaway.....

UPDATED WITH DAY TWO GIFT (Scroll down):

Well, it is my birthday but I want to be the one to GIVE some presents away rather than RECEIVE all the time.  I have been planning to have a giveaway for a while but you know me, busy, busy, busy!

So, I haven't quite had time to put it all together as I would like but here goes:

As my birthday is on the 11th - there will be 11 GIFTS of various shapes and sizes - I will post a pic every day for the next 11 days (starting today) of a different GIFT that you can win.  I will update on THIS post each day - so please come back each day to check out each GIFT.

What you need to do is:
  1. Keep checking out the post for updates each day.
  2. Comment on the post telling me CLEARLY which gift you would like to win - you can enter as many times as you like for as many gifts as you like but you can only win ONE GIFT.
  3. You don't have to be a FOLLOWER to win but if you want to start Following my blog that would be lovely.
  4. If you mention my Giveaway on your blog, that would also be lovely. Please come back and tell me if you do and you will get an extra entry.
  5. I am happy to send my GIFTS anywhere in the world.
  6. The draw will be sometime after October, 21st.
I think that is all the "rules" so now on to the Gift-giving:

11 Days of Kaisievic's Birthday Giveaway DAY ONE:


A gorgeous cookbook  - Coming Home by Cathy Armstrong:


"In Coming Home, Cathy Armstrong shares her favourite recipes from a lifetime of cherished moments, alongside homespun craft projects and cherished memories.
Cathy's food philosophy is simple: to cook well, you need a generous heart.  InComing Home she pays tribute to the people that have inspired and shaped this belief – her much-loved nana, whose kitchen all too often resembled a 'wonderfully messy jam factory', the unsung heroes of the neighbourhood garden fete with their limitless donations of sponge cakes and knitted babies' bonnets, and her parents, who taught her that honest, heartfelt cooking is the key to a truly memorable meal.

Along the way, Cathy shares more than 80 recipes, from comforting breakfasts such as crumpets with orange blossom honey and whipped lavender butter, to special-occasion dishes such as baked lamb saddle with feta, beetroot and mint salad, and gravlax on zucchini pancakes.  There are also handmade accessories to delight and inspire, including patchwork potholders, adorable egg cosies and a stylish shopping bag.

This warm-hearted, whimsical book celebrates the comfort to be found in coming home and the food that makes us glad to be there."

Here are some sneak peeks inside:





 Doesn't it look gorgeous?  Just comment on this post if you would like to win this beautiful book.


DAY 2 GIFT:

ASPETTANDO 
by R &P
These are three lovely designs in one folder of birds and animals
A Squirrel
An Owl
A Bird






Sorry that the photos are so blurry and shadowed but I had to take them at night.


Now remember that you can enter for either Day's Gift and the upcoming days by commenting on this post and you can enter for as many Gifts as you like (but you can only win one Gift), but please be CLEAR about which ones you are interested in.


OOOps, how did Furio sneak in - no, he is not a Gift!  This is him warming himself on the clothes on top of the heating vent with the sun shining in on him - cosy and warm!



Watch this space for Day 3's gift......


hugs,

Happy Birthday!

Gift 1 - a cookbook, only if it comes with an actual cook to do the cooking LOL. It does look like it has beautiful photographs in it. I'll pass and hope someone who enjoys cookery wins this lovely prize. And sends me a cake from it!

What a sweetie you are Kaye to make your birthday a time for giving - and 11 days worth!

I would love this cookbook. Not that I cook much, but I have a good friend who loves to spend time in her kitchen and I would love to give her recipes from Australia.

Bea said...

Oh, and a belated Happy Birthday! I blogged about this, so I hope you get some new followers.

Happy Birthday, dearie.
You're a very kind girl (we're all girls in our hearts!) making us a gift for your birthday!

What a lovely idea this is to have an eleven-days-giveaway. Your birthday is the same as the birthday of one of my family members.
I hope you had a wonderful day and want to send you some happy belated bitrhday wishes.
(Don't count me in, I always have trouble with customs when I receive something from abroad).

Catherine said...

It has been fun seeing what you put up each day for your giveaways! I really like the pattern from R&P! You have received some wonderful gifts and flowers!
