Birthday giveaway - Closed

Thats right, tomorrow I turn the dreaded 25 - honestly I'm not 100% happy about that - it feels like there are alot if things I should have done before 25 but still, as Jenni reminded me - its a great celebration and it's not that big a deal.

So to celebrate, I decided to spread the love with some things from my birthday list - alot of the lovely people featured have generously contributed towards this celebration and I think thats the best gift I could get... I love blogging and celebrating that is one of my favourite things!

With 4 prizes, there will be 4 winners! So here goes!

You could win... a print of your choice from Violet May

You could win... a print of your choice from Courtney Oquist

You could win... Afternoon Tea Print from City of Blackbirds

and finally, you could win... A custom yellow bow necklace made especially for this giveaway from It's Olive!!

How amazing are these prizes?! These are some of my favourite shops and people at the moment so please show their shops some love!

This giveaway is now closed

Thank you to everyone involved!
