Inspired by Vintage by Lou Lou ~ theoldboathouse giveaway

How exciting, I recieved my beautiful little bottles today that I was so lucky to win at Vintage by Lou Lou. Thank -you Lou so much!! Lou collects and sells lovely vintage goodies too! I am not sure if they should go in my bathroom on my old French Bakers Stand or on my washstand in my Bedroom.

But I have been inspired and would like to welcome you all to enter theoldboathouse giveaway. The lucky winner will recieve not one but two fabulous genuine vintage hand embroidered and crocheted table cloths. The first is a classic, crisp white and would be lovely on a side table and the second is beautifully hand embroidered in a pretty floral design. Both have been freshly laundered and starched by Nan (thanks Nan!) they make wonderful gifts even if their not your style.

So enter away...all are welcome and I am happy to mail worldwide. Just leave a comment on this post or any of my posts in the coming week and I will draw a winner in one weeks time.
