It's Autumn!

A little later than I intended - should have been last night, but I had to go out to collect a friend from the TGV station in Calais.

Yesterday was the official first day of Autumn, a stunningly beautiful day here in France - and the day of our next giveaway! So once we got our friend home I made him put his hand in the hat and draw a name!

This month's hat (modelled here by doorstop Tigger) is a beautiful Tudor statute cap handfelted by a good friend called Rachel who trades as Crafty Beggars the fibre was dyed in madder by Helen Melvin and I love wearing it! (Most statute caps were knitted and had to be worn on Sundays by statute!)

There were lots more names in the hat this month, we included followers of the blog as well as facebook (some were folowing both, I think I spotted the doubling up, but some may have got away with it and had 2 entries!!)

So to the draw - Haydn was more than happy to oblige in pulling the name out of the hat

and the winner is:

TINSEL who follows the blog. 

Many congratulations - I shall be in touch for your address shortly!

The next draw will be on the 21st December!
