THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED - THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED!
I am excited to announce that I am once again participating in the annual Sew Mama Sew May giveaway day! I love the May giveaway day event as it usually coincides with my birthday week and hosting a blog giveaway in the midst of my birthday celebrations is always lots of fun.
This year I have decided to give away TWO prizes. The first prize is a package of some of my vintage button stash and a fat quarter in a turquoise/blue floral design. The second prize will be one package of vintage buttons. That's right, TWO WINNERS! Each packet contains about 40 buttons, and although the packets are not identical, they are very similar. To enter the giveaway, simply follow the instructions in the Rafflecopter form below. I'll be running the giveaway from the 21st of May until the 26th of May (AEST) and it is open to worldwide entries - enjoy!
Edit: I realised that I've asked you to answer a question as a giveaway entry but I haven't told you my answer! I live in Melbourne, Australia where it is almost winter and getting very cold every day. I loooove buttons, especially vintage ones, and mainly use them in jewellery, hair accessories and as embellishments for fabric flowers or bags. :)
