500 Follower Giveaway!

Giveaway now closed - winner to be announced shortly.
Thanks for coming by!


And the winner is Amy from Bumble Bee Lane Cottage.

I just love giveaways, don't you?  

I enjoy finding something I think you'll like and showing you how much I appreciate you following Sweet Bee Cottage or visiting or just buzzing in.

So what did I find this time?

Well.........

this!

A Martha Stewart round wire metal tray......
A vintage embroidered tea towel in blue.......
A cherry scone mix.......
And a box of my favorite breakfast  tea - Irish Breakfast tea......
Plus just a few other treats I think you might like!

So what do you have to do to enter?

1.  For one chance, leave a comment with a way for me to get in touch with you. You do not have to be a follower.  Of course, you can follow along if you want!  

2.  For a second chance, take my giveaway button and put it on your blog and leave a comment letting me know you have done this.  Each comment counts as an entry.

3.  Open to U.S. and Canada only - sorry international friends.  But I'll have an international giveaway when it's my blogiversary in September.

4.  Giveaway ends on Saturday, August 6 at midnight PDT.  
So thank you from the bottom of my heart!  Your visits mean so very much to me.

    I love it all! My favorite tea is English breakfast, so I'm sure I would like Irish too.
    The tea-towel is so sweet and I've never seen a scone mix before. Honest! You have to read about were I live, then you'll understand!

    Hello! Thank you for your nice note. It made my night! To answer our question about a needle to use when you sew on paper... I never had a problem with a normal needle but I did start using a "denim needle"... sold at Hancock fabrics etc for my sewing machine just in case and it works great.

    It's just sort of a generic needle that fits all machines

    Lovely g-way!!!

    Holy Moley Ms. Bee....500 followers. I'm so impressed. I just looked at my "peeps" and realized someone had dropped me :-( I wish they'd let me know who. I was sad. I guess I better get busy with making my blog more interesting.
    Cute stuff for the wonderful giveaway. I'm wondering what those cherry scones taste like.
    I hope you are have a fabulous summer off and I can see that you are keeping busy as a Bee!
