It is always exciting telling people they’ve won something, so this afternoon I get to share the winner of the beautiful vintage “tea for two” hamper from For The Love Of Vintage.

I usually like to do things the old-fashioned way, writing people’s names on on scraps of paper and pulling the winner out of a hat.  Unfortunately there were a few too many entries for this competition, so instead I assigned everyone a number and used an online ‘random number generator’ to select the winner.  I’m sorry it’s not as glamorous, by a winner has been chosen…

A huge congratulations to Rachael Simmons, I will be in touch with you directly and to let Sharon at For The Love Of Vintage know who to send the hamper to.

And a huge thank you to everyone who entered this competition – if you are based in the North West are looking for vintage crockery hire for your wedding, do take a look at the services provided by For The Love Of Vintage and don’t hesitate to get in touch with Sharon if you’re interested in booking her for your wedding.
