And the winner is...

I do believe Lucy and Lily Red are fast on their way to becoming the best of friends. Once the details of our February Giveaway had been shared the two sat down and got right to work...and a more perfect match I couldn't imagine. Lucy took to cutting out some lovely hearts while Lily Red wrote out the entrants names in the loveliest penmanship. Then, when it was finally time for the drawing, a most amazing thing happened. My children, yes those very same creatures that previously rolled their eyes at my doll play, wanted to participate! There was even a bit of a rumble among the three as to who should get to perform the actual selection process. In the end it was unanimously decided that I should organize two more giveaways in order that each should have their own turn! So stay tuned! For today however, I am happy to announce the lucky winner to be. . . . .

. . . . . Martha from Miss Van Droo! (Please e-mail me with your address and the Sweet Hearts will be on their way.) Her doll book recommendation was Hitty by Rachel Field which I am currently reading and thoroughly enjoying each and every page. So many of the books have been quite delightful but I have to say my favorite thus far has been. . . . .

. . . . . The Doll's House by Rumer Godden recommended by Suzanne at Blueberry Cottage. I love Tottie, the little farthing doll, as much as the Queen did! And the fact that Tasha Tudor illustrated the story was an added bonus. It's a story that warms the heart!

I extend a big "Thank You" to all participants and an even bigger one to Wayne, the repair man who fixed my furnace today. It's ever so nice to have a warm heart AND a warm body!
