On a roll!

I have had a good month or so for winning prizes, as well as winning with Pedlars, a few weeks ago I won this awesome print.

It is the work of Mick Statham, a printmaker that is based very near me. He ran a giveaway on Twitter which I, as a pug owner, and lover of screen prints, was very eager to win. He was originally going to pick just one winner, but due to interest he picked 3, and I was one of them! Woohoo.

It really is a beautiful print, of brilliant quality, and it came with an adoption certificate for "Vinnie" the pug dog!

Pedlars Competition

Our Living room

One of our cool boxes, providing a stand for my cacti and succulent

Vintage milk bottle and Mickey Mouse alarm clock (that is ridiculously loud!)

My winnings! Lucky, lucky girl!

Now we have the full set

I just love old packaging!

Pedlars is an awesome company based in Wales, that sources amazing vintage products, along with ace new products too, they are super friendly to boot as well.

We first came across them when they used to have an outlet in Birmingham Selfridges. We were really disappointed when it disappeared. Since then my lovely husband has bought me several cool vintage items from there. They regularly run competitions on instagram, and I was incredibly lucky enough to win one of them! @pedlarsfridayvintage asked people to post photos of their vintage items, and to hashtag them #myvintagehome. There were so many amazing entries, (some of mine are above) and I was bowled over to be picked as the winner, being given £100 to spend at Pedlars! Amazing!

Me and my husband chose a Newgate Clock, which is now pride of place in our living room, a vintage popcorn holder, that doubles up as a hailer, (Joe had bought me the red one for Christmas), some vintage chewing tobacco packaging, and some blacking pencils, which are wonderful, I have just tested them this evening.

I feel like a very lucky girl, thanks Pedlars!

Sally Jane Thompson

I was lucky enough to win a giveaway that Sally Jane Thompson was running the other week, I was only a runner-up, but I still got all these awesome prizes!
