First Giveaway

We're so excited to have the Olympics here in Canada, and especially to have won our first gold medal on Sunday.  Go Canada!!! 

So in honour of the 2010 Olympic games I have put together a few things to give away to one of you.  

There's sort of a Canadian connection to everything I'm giving away.  Let me explain...

The tea selection was purchased in Niagara Falls.  There are three different kinds of tea mixed with Quebec's apple ice wine, Niagara ice wine, and Canadian Maple Syrup.

These wooden snowflakes were made by an artisan using different kinds of Canadian wood.  I purchased them at the Ethel Curry Gallery up in cottage country in Ontario.

 

This tea towel was purchased on the weekend at Anthropologie in Toronto.   I got one for myself (which I have warned the family they are not actually allowed to use - I did notice some eye rolling - not sure why).  So the connection to Canada is pretty lame for this one, but my daughter, Kate, and I were seriously excited  (almost as excited as we were about the Olympics) when Anthropologie opened their first stores in Canada last year.  So that counts, right?  Well anyway, I like it, so it's part of my giveaway.

The giveaway will close on Sunday, February 21 at 6:00 PM EST.  There are several ways to get your name in the draw:

1. leave a comment below telling me what country/province/state you are from and if you are watching the Olympics.
2. become a follower (and leave me a second comment telling me you have done that).  All followers will automatically be entered a second time.
3. mention me on your blog (and leave me another comment letting me know you have done that).

The winner will be selected by a random draw and will be announced on Monday, February 22nd.  Please be sure and leave an email address, if you do not have a blog, so I can reach you to get shipping information.  The contest is open to anyone, anywhere in the world.  I have a stats counter and I'm fascinated that people all around the world find my blog - I would love to hear from some of you living in far off places (of course, I'm happy to hear from the nearby ones as well - just saying).
