it’s my birthday
and I’m celebrating with a giveaway!
It is a celebratory bunting- at least 10 ft… maybe closer to 12. Not sure. All wool scrap circles. Anyway, what better giveaway for a birthday then a party decoration? Just leave a happy birthday greeting in the comments on THIS post. The giveaway will close at midnight edt on Friday, Aug. 6. I will pick one winner on Saturday by random number generator. I am happy to send it out anywhere so don’t hold back if you are international. Jump in and help me have a wonderful birthday!

Hello Mimi,
Happy Birthday!!! I love all the new dolls, and so does my daughter!! We are really fond of mermaid girls and Paris girl with polka dot. I caught up on all your new posts since Paris, What a fun trip….brought back great memories of my last visit to the fabric district in Paris 10 years ago. Last visit there was with kids, so mainly a tour of all the carousels……..!!
I thought of you yesterday when I was in the Button Box in Wellesley MA. They have CIRCUS fabric.
Very nice, several patterns with in the line, sort of an old fashioned Ringling Bros. look.
Anyway, all the best to you on your Birthday!! Hope to meet you (1st meet @ Boston Handmade Holiday shop near Opera House) again someday.
Katarina
ps: We share the same birthday week..mine is the 4th!
