Rosie Flo Fashion Show Giveaway....

I adore award winning Rosie Flo products aimed at children and I occasionally get sent an item to try out with my cherubs. So I was delighted when I received Rosie Flo's Colouring Fashion Show A beautiful catwalk kit that enables children ( ideally above 7 ) to create, colour and stage their very own fashion show. There are 18 glamorous models to colour in, and 8 cheering spectators, a lovely old fashioned camera and even a cute little pooch.

Rosie Flo's creator, Roz Streeten explains " Children love to put on a performance, they also love colouring and dressing up. Put this all together-and you've got the inspiration for Rosie Flo's Fashion show. "

The Fashion show is ideally recommended for anyone over 7 years, and can also be purchased here, along with other lovely Rosie Flo items on Amazon I have to say my four year old enjoyed helping his big sister do some of the colouring too. There is no need for scissors or glue, simply press out all the figures, colour them in, stand them up and then it is time for the Fashion Show !! It also comes in a delightful and very pretty keepsake box, which can also be used to keep the lovely Rosie Flo colouring books in, of which over 300,000 of the pioneering colouring books have been sold. Famous for ' just draw on heads, legs and arms' and are top sellers in gift shops worldwide. So, of course my little Miss. Poppins couldn't wait to try out the fashion show and with a little ( sometimes unwanted ) help from Master Poppins, this is what they ( mostly Miss. Poppins ) created.

And the good news is that the Rosie Flo team also sent me one extra Fashion Show to offer as a giveaway, and for me to send out to one of you. It really is so pretty, and a truly wonderful idea to spark children's artistic and imaginative young minds. So if you have a child, who you think would love this, or indeed you could give as a gift to someone ( over 7 ) please feel free to comment. I shall pop you in the hat, and get one of my little Poppins' to choose a winner on Thursday 14th April about tea time. Hopefully a little time to get your name in. No need to be a follower, to tweet or to mention on your own blog, just a simple little comment to let me know you would like to go in the hat is fine. I shall of course pop in one of my handmade pretties too. Good luck and open to international readers too.


Thank you for entering....Giveaway winner has now been chosen

Rosie Flo's Giveaway Winner Is....And A Little Decorating Chat

Thank you all so much for popping your names in the hat to win 2 sets of Rosie Flo colouring postcards. I wish you all could have won, but alas there could be only be one name pulled from the hat and that was the  delightful Scented Sweetpeas who I know has some sweet cherubs of her own, and who I hope really love the postcards. I shall of course pop a little handmade pretty in too.

How about something like this, a pretty patchwork heart I made for a very lovely lady.

I am happy to say work can begin on decorating the lounge, yippppppppeeeeeee. I have been waiting for this for a long time, there has been re wiring, plastering, you name it, and we are ready to get my pretty wallpaper out, my paintbrush out and get cracking. The husband is going to ( because he loves me) let me paint the 1940s fire surround, I understand the warmth the wood brings etc, but know it shall look so pretty painted a nice off white/cream. We haven't yet decided whether to paint or varnish the floorboards, have some new white Ektorp covers, and have got some ideas on what furniture is going in. Yes is all looking rather white in scheme, and yes I have two young children ;0) Well I am being so inspired by this charming book I have had for ages, and I always love to dip in and get some white inspiration. I shall of course be popping some very pretty and colourful accessories here and there and I may have a go at doing the curtains. We have three large windows in the lounge, one of them being over 2 metres wide so no small feat, though I am in the middle of making some for my lovely neighbour that gave me her singer and have to say thus far, seems quite a simpleish job. Though is quite a task keeping all the fabric on the table, most of it ends up on my knees as I am sewing. So time to dig out my decorating dungarees and prettify my home. Hope I dont bore you with all my decorating updates....

Pretty Rosie Flo's Giveaway....

I have always been a fan of Rosie Flo's colouring books for my children, not only are they pretty to look at but I think a wonderful colouring book that really captures their imaginations and keeps them interested as they use their artistic skills to draw up the head and limbs. For me, a little more exciting than the average colouring book.

So, I think it is lovely that Rosie Flo have offered a pretty giveaway of two sets of their Rosie Flo's and Johnny Joe's colouring postcards – 16 different cards to draw, colour and send in each set. One set of 16 postcards aimed for the girls and one set of 16 postcards aimed for the boys. These new and very lovely postcard sets were a winner of the best new product children's award, at Top Drawer 2010.

Here is the girls set....

And for the boys....

These really are a lovely set of postcards, right up my pretty street, and shall bring their new owners much fun and amusement, especially adding the arms and legs. Miss Poppins couldn't wait to pop her head on, on one of her postcards!

She is going do choose one of her favorite coloured in postcards to pop on The Rosie Flo Gallery where one can share their drawings with the world and inspire others. If you win the lovely postcards for the special little people in your life, or indeed have any Rosie Flo colouring books anyway, why not join in, it's fun, it's free, and £50.00 worth of books and art materials could be won. 

So, if you would like to go in the hat to win 2 lovely sets of postcards, all you have to do is leave a little comment on this post, and Miss Poppins shall pick a winner from the hat on Monday evening. A really very lovely giveaway, and if you would like to know more about Rosie Flo, you can find out more here And here  is where you can find Rosie Flo's stockists. They are the perfect stocking filler and also the perfect size to pop in one of my handmade children's mini tote bags too :0)

Good luck
