This week's lovely giveaway is sponsored by Anna of 'A Alicia Accessories' (all the way from London, England)... She has generously offered a Camelia Corsage, worth $25, plus worldwide shipping to one fortunate winner! The Camelia designs are 'handmade from gorgeous, light fairtrade organic cotton'... Pretty and eco-friendly... And they come in seven colours... Thank you so much Anna, for sharing you beautiful work with us!Anna has taken the time to answer a few questions:
What does a perfectly ordinary day in your life look like?
"Most of my time is spent sewing, in my home studio, plus quite a bit of time spent on my laptop, answering emails and responding to orders. I usually try to get in a mix of making up orders and experimenting with new things - I'm already playing around with some knitting ideas for my autumn/winter collection!"
What time of year most inspires you?
"I know it's a cliche, but I love Christmas! Summer is great if you live in the countryside, or even better by the sea, but I live in London, so summer is just hot and sticky! I feel like the city really comes into its own in winter, when it's all sparkly and crisp on long dark evenings."
What do you think of as comfort food?
"Mashed potato"
If you could hop on a plane, without giving one thought to your budget, where would you go?
"Hawaii"
What are five things you would like to do in the next five years?
"1. Continue building up my business
2. Have the time to on holiday!
3. Grow more veg on my balcony
4. Have more time to bake cakes
5. Adopt some kids (probably in the 5th year!)"
