Lantern giveaway time!

Congratulations to Patsy and myself and our little blog for having 100 dear sweet followers now! So, as promised, to celebrate we are having a giveaway to our loyal friends!!! We'd also like to thank you all for visiting us regularly and leaving your comments - we just love it (and have become quite addicted to the whole thing)!

We will be having 2 prizes :-) and the winners will be drawn randomly. The lanterns are all from our most recent shipment which arrived just after Christmas!
Plenty of choices - you can select your prize from the following. Oh, and I will post anywhere in the world!

I do apologise, the photos are not quite as I had planned, but as it has been over 30 degrees C every day lately and the humidity is very high I haven't been wanting to stand in the heat and take new pics!

A. Set of 9 20cm round lanterns (one of each colour as shown)


B. Set of 12 party lanterns in various colours


C. Set of 12 'happiness' lanterns (perfect for Chinese New Year - February 14)


D. Large cherryblossom lantern (35cm) with 1 20cm white lantern, 2 20cm red and 1 20cm black


E. Large dragonfly lantern (35cm) with 2 20cm white lanterns, 2 20cm black lanterns


My giveaway is open to anyone following the blog, and to enter just leave your selection in the comments section below - too easy!!!

All the lanterns are paper, and they all fold flat when not in use - so you can use them over and over again :-) All items from Lanternshop.

To give you all enough time to enter, we will draw the prizes on Wednesday night 3 February (Aussie time), and will post the winning details on the Thursday.

Thanks again, for making our blogging experience so enjoyable. Patsy and I have made some really great friendships with people (and animals too)!

Good luck - and lots of love to you all, Karen & Sweet Patsy xo

Congratulations on 100+ followers! I've really enjoyed reading your posts since I first found you (Via your comment on my own blog!), and look forward to still reading when you have 200+!

I was eyeing those dragonfly lanterns the other day, and trying to figure out where to magically pull funds from to buy some, perhaps I will be lucky instead?

Thanks for visiting and becoming a follower! Just love your name! My sister gave me a pretty dragon fly hanging ornament for Christmas and I love it. Your Patsy is a very cute opposite of my Hans! Very gorgeous. I look forward to learning more about you - I'll be back soon too! Glad you liked my tee pee post - I told my sister in law during a fab lunch in a groovy suburban place (Mailing Road to you Melbourne girls) today about my High Tee in a Tee Pee ... and momentarily she was stuck for words ... good fun. Lovely to meet you, Cheers, Suzy ;)

Such lovely lanterns, imagine the coloured ones in a childs room...or the dragonfly one swaying in the breeze over a day bed...or the cherry blossoms hanging from a beautiful old cherry tree! Oh my, how could I possibly choose!
