And we have a winner!

This afternoon I closed my eyes, reached into my hat (or rather my mixing bowl) and pulled out:
Now Mr Bond St Bridge just happens to live with me, and can get all the huia prints he wants, so I thought it wasn't fair to let him win.
I reached in again and pulled out:
Congratulations, Jessie, you're the winner of my giveaway! Email me your address and I'll get that in the post for you.

Thanks so much for all your home hints, turns out they'll come in handy because I just found out we're having a flat inspection on Wednesday. Yikes! Wish me luck.

100 and a giveaway

This is my hundredth post, wow that went fast! To celebrate, I thought I'd have a little giveaway and thought it'd be fitting to have a giveaway themed with something that has been extinct for over a hundred years (the last confirmed sighting was nearly 103 years ago, anyway). So I've got a huia-themed prize pack up for grabs, featuring two fabric brooches (with huias gocco printed onto calico, backed with wool felt and with a safety clasp on the back), a gocco print of a male and female huia (the female one has the long beak) and a calico feather patch. Unfortunately it's not a huia feather, it doesn't have the white tip, but let's not be pedantic.



To enter, all you need to do is leave me a comment telling me your favourite home hint. My favourite home hint is that if you are as partial to a cup of strong black coffee as I am, you probably have the problem of your white coffee cups getting stained brown inside. Just rub a bit of baking soda on the stains and give them a wash and they'll be good as new.

I'll post the prize pack anywhere in the world, and I'll draw a winner next Sunday. Good luck and thanks for reading!
