It's First Give-away Time!

Hi all,
Okay, I have decided to have the first "Give-away" on my blog.  I will start with smaller items for doll making and as the followers grow so will the value of the prize!

The first give-away is for some fantastic Antique Lace.  It will be for 3 yds of 3 different antique laces.  Some of them are French. They are valued at $4.00 - $6.00 per yard (if you can even find any for sale). That is a total value of $42.00 in lace, not bad for a first time give away.  They are very fine cotton. This should be enough to create a lovely doll or more.  Rules below.


First:  You need to make sure you are a follower on my blog (click "follow" if you haven't already).
Secondly: You just need to comment on this post telling me that you are indeed interested in being in the contest, and what your miniature interests are and what you would do with the lace if you won!  That's it.  You only need to comment once and I will take all of the names of the entrants and have someone in my family pull the lucky winners name! 

The Contest will close the end of next week at 9:00 pm Pacific time!  Good luck everyone and don't forget to tell your friends!

Hugs,
Gina

  10. Hi!

    Lovely, lovely giveaway. I would probably use the lace to make ruffle skirts for my girl dolls. It might be suitable for window treatments too. I have this idea of very lacy curtains, but I have not found a suitable lace just yet.

If I win I can use it in many different ways (visit and see my blog: I make very variegated miniatures), that's why I ask you to count me in for this beautiful give away! My canalhouse has still to be decorated, I'll do that in the ancient((?) my English is not correct, I'm sorry) time of 1900.

  34. Just found your blog today, your dolls are wonderful. At the moment I mainly make furniture in 1/12 scale. I used to make full size porcelain dolls more than 10 years ago. I still have my kiln, so would love to make mini dolls sometime in the future.

  39. Hi, I am new follower but not new in the dolls' world. Actually I work with my miniature doll house 1:12 and love my Barbie dolls collection. I love to collect Antique Lace, fabrics and sew new dresses to my dolls. Antique Lace are the most wanted thing to sew old fashioned pillows to my little house and sew new romantic style doll's dresses.
    Have a nice day and good luck to all participants! :)
