Thanks for entering, good luck!



The winter months can be terrible – dry, dark, depressing – so in January and February I’ve been doing winter survival kit giveaways! Everything in them is local to me so it won’t just rescue you from the cold and whisk you into some coziness, it’s also a little bundle of prairie life.
Winter Survival Kit #2
- Loose black tea (a mega fancy estate Assam) & tea ball ready for use
- Oversized white knit neck warmer for staying warm in the winter (made by me)
- Clodhopper candy which if you have not had you have not lived. Locally made of course.
- Pins, pouch & barrettes from local handmade maven Sew Dandee!

Hello
The hair pins look cute but the badge- well I have no idea what 204 stands for. I’m guessing it’s the outline of a state but I thought you only had 50 odd states so it can’t be a 204th state. Showing my real ignorance of the US here… I was also going to ask you- if you’re going vegan for a month, is Mister staying non-vegan? How do you work that? I would love to go veggie but my boyfriend is a meat at every meal kinda guy, and I think it would be pretty difficult to try to have him eat meat and me eat veggie, but maybe you have some tips?
thanks!
Ha! Oh dear, we need to have a talk. 204 is the area code in Manitoba where I live, which is in Canada. Don’t worry! It’s early! =)

Please could I enter?
I love the sound of the Clodhopper Candy – it intrigues me no end!! Is it some kind of popcorn??
They’re actually bunches of chocolate coated crunchy graham crackers…kind of, but they’re way crispier and lighter than you would expect. They’re amazing!

Dang! I picked a good day to wander over here from Hillary. You have a lovely site and are just too damn cute. Your blog is the kind of blog I like to daydream about having but I know I never will because I like to swear too much.
Ha! This made my day! Honestly, I swear like I was raised by bikers in real life but for some reason it never transferred into my writing! It always surprises people when I meet them, so don’t worry, you’re in good company.

I’ve never used a tea ball before. I find them slightly intimidating. How much loose tea does one put in a tea ball? There is so much room for error.

after braving the grocery store (not in anticipation of the impending snow but b/c I was out of important things like mozzarella sticks and tortellini) I’m afraid to leave my house again this winter. But I have a feeling these lovely little gifties would make leaving the house (or even staying in!) much sweeter!

108 comments, already? Yikes, my chances of winning are toast! Ok, but here’s my pitch: if everyone here lets me win, I will give them all Clodhoppers – according to their comments, that looks like what they’re after. I just want the neckwarmer and the pin. And the tea. And the barrettes. My hips don’t need the calories. Now, if you were giving away Old Dutch (ketchup flavoured, naturally), I would be singing a different tune…
Oh, and SSG? Don’t worry, dear. We get that a lot.
