'Holiday at Home' weekend give-away!

This give-away is now closed. 

I love getting a surprise package in the post, don't you?  When the bright coloured tome Holiday at Home by Jason Grant (Harde Grant) appeared in my mail box earlier this week I was more than happy. This is one special interior book. Not only does the summer vibe ooze from every page but the images (shot by Lauren Bamford) are a blend of cool Australian interiors, exteriors and holiday snaps which will make you feel like you want to emigrate down under. The good news is that after reading the book you won't need to as it's packed with tips on how to bring that relaxed holiday feel to your own home.  And I'm giving away a copy to one lucky reader this weekend! For more details on how to enter see below. In the meantime here's a sneak peek.

Give-away! Win a fabulous fouta

Since spring is officially in the air (here in Europe at least!) I have teamed up with Fouta De Val to offer you the chance to win a fabulous fouta. Fouta's are made in Tunisia from 100% woven cotton using traditional techniques. They measure 190 cm x 100 cm and are so versatile they can be used as a pretty tablecloth in the garden, a cool bed spread, a light towel for days out in the archepelego or a scarf for cool summer evenings. Choose from a whole range of spring colours or stripes or mix and match for a unique style. I'm sure you'll love foutas as much as I do!

The company has such great ethics too - foutas are more and more rare and out competed by mass-produced varieties of poor quality. By purchasing a Fouta de Val you're supporting the local craft tradition in Tunisia and the livelihood of many local crafts men and women. In addition Foute de Val pays a contribution to Sweden's Save The Children organisation for each piece from the Mahdia and Carthage range sold. We like!

 To win a fouta all you need to do is:

- Visit the Fouta De Val home page and choose your favourite fouta
- Leave a comment below stating which fouta you would most like to win and why

This competition is open to everyone, where ever you are! Please be sure to enter by Midnight GMT Sunday 2nd June 2013 so you don't miss out. The winner will be announced here on Tuesday 4th June. Spread the word! :)
