Announcing the winner of the stunning vintage sari bunting from Ganesha

Charlie

Another day, another winner – I do love running competitions! Would you like to see more on the blog throughout the year? Leave me a comment to let me know, and I’ll see what I can do.

Today’s prize, from Ganesha, I wish was winging its way to me – its this beautiful string of bunting made from vintage sari silk by the Calcutta Rescue, a clinic providing free medical care to anybody in need. Like yesterday’s comeptition, there were too many entries to be writing them out by hand and pulling out of a hat, so I’ve used the random number generator to select our winner…

A huge congratulations to Sara Willoughby, I will be in touch with you directly to ensure your beautiful string of bunting reaches you safely.

Announcing the winner of the beautiful vintage “tea for two” hamper from For The Love Of Vintage

Charlie

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.
