July - August Giveaway

*EDIT*: I was unaware that Guinevere is not allowed to give out her address on the Internet. The new winner is #10, Trini

The winner of the June giveaway is commenter #3...



Congratulations, Guinevere! I know you will love your bar of Titanic soap. :) Please e-mail me for details on how to claim your prize.

I am very excited about this month's giveaway, and I think you ladies will be, too. 

 “Will you write me?” I asked. 
“Every day!” she replied eagerly. 
“Really?” I asked skeptically, taking the pillowcase off of her pillow. “Every day?”
“Well, I’ll try, anyway. Will you write me?”
“Of course I will.” I threw the pillow at Lilli. “You know that.”
“You mustn’t leave out anything,” she insisted, catching the pillow. “I want to hear just what life is like in New York.”
“And I want to hear about everything that is going on here in Eastbourne,” I replied, “even if you say the same thing a dozen times.”

~Violets Are Blue, chapter 3

As you probably know, one of Violet and Lillian's favorite pastimes is letter-writing. They both are extremely fond of books, and so they enjoy putting their minds to the test as they scribble down notes in a manner that is, in their minds, most elegant. And without the weekly epistles they send back and forth, they would have no other way of staying in contact with each other after Violet's move. So, it was also a necessity as well as a hobby. 

With that in mind, I present this next giveaway...


This month's winner will receive an antique stained stationary set, perfect for keeping up correspondence with dear friends! It was kindly donated by Suburban Stamp Girl.
