Emma Bridgewater Mugs Giveaway

Welcome to my 

lovely, lovely, lovely 

worldwide giveaway, 

{which will be open for two weeks only}. 

In honour of Fathers' Day,

I {very} proudly present to you

a gorgeous giveaway from

Emma Bridgewater.

Here is the lady herself...

and is it just me or is that exactly the kind of dresser 

you want to have a good nose around?

They've super-generously offered two of their covetable mugs for YOU.

Yes, you!

Emma Bridgewater mugs are chunky and curvaceous. 

They feel and look utterly Modern Country.

Two lucky winners 

will be plucked at random.

One will win one of these brilliant mugs 

from the Black Toast range.

{The writing says 'Dad's like to sleep in front of the telly...my dad loves toy shops and racing on Saturdays' and inside 'Stripey Shirts...Kind And Strong'}

And the other will win the Starry Skies Daddy mug.

Aren't they completely luscious?

This giveaway is open worldwide to ALL

Modern Country Style Loves Emma Bridgewater Mugs

It's YOU!

HOORAY!

And how are you feeling?

This post is to act as a little taster of the awesome giveaway, 
which will be up 

THIS MONDAY.
Excited? I should coco.

I LOVE Emma Bridgewater pottery.
The wholesome chunkiness.
The hand-finished pattern.
The reassuring quality.

And how's this for a quote from Emma Bridgewater herself?

Women are under such terrible pressure these days to be sex bombs and great chefs and good gardeners and fabulous parents and do their bit in the boardroom, that sometimes the only thing to do is sit down with a friend and a nice cup of coffee and create an oasis in the day....

Don't you just love that?

Oooh, look at those shapely mugs.

Do you like them? 
Do you want them?

I have a secret for you, my pretties. 

You're in luck!

Boogie on by on Monday. 

I think you'll have a big smile on your face....

Romancing The Queen

Of all the photo-wizardry that I've seen over the Jubilee

this of the Queen and Prince Philip is by far and away my favourite.

In fact, it made me cry. 

{probably the pregnancy hormones talking...but still...}

I find long marriages the most romantic thing in the world.

Consistent, steadfast, committed love.

Faithfulness during temptation.

Devotion through hard times.

Triumph in the face of adversity.

What could be more swoon-worthy?

The Jubilee Ethos

Hey there, sweets,

We're having the most wonderful Jubilee weekend.

Yesterday, we went to a street party.

{The Queen said she would have been there 

but was having a slightly busy day.}

Singing 'Rule Brittania', 

waving our Union Jack flags, 

sheltering under pushed-together gazebos from the steady drizzle,

whilst children played,

and grown-ups laughed, 

encapsulates all that I completely adore about being British.

Today, I'm over at the Relics of Witney blog, talking about their year-round Jubilee ethos. If you're yearning for a shop that listens to their customers, gives fantastic and individual advice, stocks a huge array of home-related delights and is an absolute pleasure to lazily browse around then come and have a look.. 

I'll be posting over there on the first of every month.

I'd love you to come and join me...
