Do you find that life slips by in a blurry stream and that days just meld into each other? I don't really keep track of the passing of time. I used to keep a journal as a child but stopped in adulthood. Do you journal or scrapbook? I've come to realize that blogging has become a wonderful substitute for journaling. It's such a great avenue to record certain events in my life and fulfills a lot of creative outlets. Recently, out of curiosity, I checked to see how long I've been blogging. I was absolutely staggered to find that I've been doing it for a little over 2 years! 2 years! If you've been reading my blog, you'll notice that I've changed the design a bit. After 2 years, I was feeling the need for a new look. So to celebrate the new look and the passing of 2 years, I think a blogiversary giveaway is in order, don't you? And because I talk a lot about using vintage in the home, of course the giveaway has to feature vintage goodness. First up is what I'm calling a medley of Austrian kitchenalia. The winner will receive an Austrian wall hanging featuring a recipe for apple strudel with a border featuring peasant/folk art/country life, an Austrian oven mitt with a recipe for Farmer's Feast on the back, and 3 cloth coasters.
Second prize is a collection of 6 vintage handkerchiefs tied with a chocolate brown grosgrain ribbon and pinned together with a vintage Boucher bow ribbon brooch. Boucher was a Canadian costume jewelry company which I think is appropriate as I'm based in Canada.

All the hankies have some sort of white detail such as embroidery or trim. To enter the giveaway, leave a comment. Which prize is your favourite?
