For the Tollipop hand-me-down giveaway, Miss VanDroo! Congratulations, dear Miss VanDroo! Your name alone makes me smile! Please let us get in touch and exchange all sorts of confidences, not the least of which being the directions as to where I may post your package!
And for the last-minute, afterthought giveaway of the original painting of the demure Mathilde Triste, the prize goes to Amber! Three cheers, darling! We couldn't be more thrilled! Please let me know where this sweet girl is to be sent and I'm sure she will bring nothing but happiness and wild adventures to your home.
To everyone else, thank you for playing along! Your comments were so kind and it was intriguing to note the winding paths that lead to Tollipop. I simply adore your company.
As you know, this is always a trying moment...the feeling that I just hosted a brilliant party yet only provided goody bags for two. I picture your dejected, slumped shoulders. I really do.
I hope something extra lovely happens tonight. Perhaps an amazing dinner that you did or didn't have to cook, depending on your love affair with the kitchen. Perhaps a tiny bonsai tree someone leaves upon your doorstep. An evening walk that calls for a cardigan. The feeling that you are home.
Oh, and who can forget the image of Mr. Darcy approaching from the horizon, all panting and sweaty as he hoists a bat-sized Toblerone, determined to proclaim his ardor for you?
I wish you all these things and more. Have a lovely weekend!
