Just Because It Is Thursday

I like Thursdays. Thursdays are friendly and happy and sunny and even though I am entertaining the beginning of another bout of sniffly nose syndrome I am not one to moan now am I?
Especially on a day stuffed full of puttery loveliness and a day I am feeling twice as scrumptiously generous as usual and want to throw  a little bit more BrocanteHome loveliness your way in order to spread the love…
1. Ok so first up a giveaway! I know many of you have been awaiting the publication of the oh so pretty “Vintage Notions” by  Amy Barickman, and now it’s here I have one copy to give away to the reader who loves me bestest of all. Only kidding. You don’t have to love me to enter! Simply leave a comment in the box below  with your name, and site address if you have one and all names will be put into a virtual hat next Friday. So make you are signed up to the RSS Feed for instant notification of your good luck…

2. Next up, because I have been working terribly hard and rather insist you know about it, I want you to cast your eyes down towards the bottom of Brocante and see for yourself the wonder that is the new toolbar. There you will find buttons to translate the site into a number of languages, quick links to subscribe, share and hop around the site in a random fashion, direct access to the Brocante Facebook Fan Page and your very own Twitter feed, and best of all methinks, a new Gallery that will feature all the images in my Housewives In Art  series and lots more lovely domestic images besides. Go have a play.
3. And finally a special offer for all those of you planning to get your tinsel on early this year. Because I love you all so much and don’t want you to be demented come Christmas Morning I have packaged both the downloaded Christmas Planner and my utterly wonderful Christmas Countdown together for the special offer, discounted price of $25.00…

There now! Never say I don’t give you anything…
Have a lovely day won’t you?

    I would love to receive this utterly gorgeous book. I'm teaching myself to sew at the moment and would love to flick through the pages of this 'bible' and gain some inspiration to create something beautiful 🙂

  5. phyllis September 30, 2010

    I'll only accept the book if you come see my doll quilts!
    Full of trickery I am…
    And do you have a doll quilt?
    And will you post it on a Thursday?

  8. Sally Hackney September 30, 2010

    I would SO love to get this book. I've been following Amy's blog…waiting patiently for publication. Thanks for having a drawing! Smiles, Sally sjhackney(at)yahoo(dot)com

    Thursday is the day I have my 21 mth grandson all day. I would appreciate a good book to dip into while he takes one of his rare naps.
    I have followed you from day one. No – one could be a bigger fan.

    I'd love a copy of this book as it looks fantastic. I am yet to fully immerse myself into a vintage way of living but I think this book could hold my hand when making the leap!

  44. Lorrie September 30, 2010

    Winning this book would be wonderful! (how's that for alliteration) Thursdays are good days – the weekend is almost here, but there's still time to be productive and cross a few more things off the idealistic Monday list.

  46. Gill September 30, 2010

    Hmmn, I don't see my first comment got through, but here I am again, just in case. I would love to win this book! By the way, have you any details about the lovely picture in this post? Gill.

  48. Lynsey September 30, 2010

    I love your site! I don't get around to commenting as much as I should…I will do better from now on. I have no idea how to do any of that so it will be fun to learn. 🙂

  49. Marion September 30, 2010

    I think of you as a younger friend of mine, always check in everyday to see how things are and what you are upto, also sometimes for a little inspiration and uplift. I have great hopes for your new(ish) love, basically I wish you well, you're lovely!

  53. Sally-Anne Russell September 30, 2010

I just want to say up front that I do love you!!! I check daily, multiple times a day, for a post from you or if the daily puttery post is in my inbox yet or any other notice! And while I enjoy everything about your blog, etc (adore the red polka dots!) I thoroughly enjoy seeing Finley in the videos, where he's dancing in his seat with his lollipop and other pics of him – that mop of curls is just too cute for words!! And when your tell on yourself of some calamity or another, I just roll! A good belly laugh is always in order! You are such a dear part of my life – keep up the good work, please!

  87. Annelie October 4, 2010

    Dearest! How you make my day a bit better, just by posting things to read with a cup of tea just before bedtime. It makes me want to come home, finish all the got-to-dos and get around to reading your blog, just as it makes me wake up every morning with a simmering notion that yesterday was a good day, and today is looking just as bright.
