My Queens, Blogs and Sweethearts Giveaway...
As I bid a fond farewell to the beautiful month of May, I am full of giddy anticipation for the equally beautiful month of June we welcome today... so many celebrations in this lovely month leading into Summer as well... in honor of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee Celebration, I have sought out the most beautiful gifts I could find to offer one of you a chance to win in my Queens, Blogs and Sweethearts Giveaway... I am French on my daddy's side and English on my mama's side... it was hard not including something French in this one... but, I am an equal opportunity blogger... tee hee hee... so I will stick with honoring my English heritage this time...
The winner will receive the following gifts... first, an absolutely stunning Staffordshire fine bone china roses teacup from England... nestled inside is the sweetest little vintage heart shaped doily you have ever seen...
Also, this pretty pink collectible tin from the Royal Parks of London... commemorating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and filled with the finest breakfast tea... the stunning artwork on the tin was commissioned to depict the world famous Gold State Coach, first used by Her Majesty the Queen on her Coronation of June 2nd, 1953. The stunning Gold State Coach has been used for every Coronation since George IV's in 1821...
Don't you just love this work of art... truly right out of a fairytale...
Also included, is this darling Cath Kidston of London purse~wristlet... I own two of these myself and love them!...

I specially picked out the beautiful teacup, doily and Cath Kidston wristlet from my friends Jen and El's beautiful boutique here in Centerville, Madeleine L'Amour... the collector tin of tea is from a local specialty shop... I have wrapped everything up pretty for one lucky lady!... (or guy to give to a special lady of his choice)...
My giveaways are so easy to enter... just leave me a comment on this post only... up until midnight June 4th... you may enter from anywhere in the world, and as always, I will have Jack draw the winning name and I will announce the winner on Tuesday June 5th as I host a special tea for all of you here at Idyllhours... in addition to being the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Celebration, June 4th is Jack's and my 35th anniversary, and June 5th is my three year blog anniversary... so, put on your prettiest hat and join me right here for tea and cookies... Tessy is ready to celebrate!...
Since I KNOW she always follows my blog, I invited Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth to attend my tea, (as long as she promised to leave Charles and Camilla home!)...but she responded saying she had "prior commitments" that day... hmmm... doesn't she know how important a blog anniversary is as well???... so, Princess Tess will reign over the festivities... see you all Tuesday... and good luck!... xoxo... PS If you do not have a blog, you are still welcome to enter... just be sure to leave me an email address so I can reach you should your name be drawn!...

So sweet! So sorry that her lady the queen had a prior engagement. What could be more important than your blog anniversary I can NOT imagine. And on such a special day. June 5th is my sweet hubby's birthday. I will be thinking of two wonderful people on that day. I love the beautiful things that you have selected for your give away. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win. Tell Tessy she looks lovely as usual!
Hugs,
Jann

Since pink is my favorite color and my favorite site is yours, I feel I must enter this give away. My grandmother's maiden name was Roese and her favorite flower being the rose we became loveing the rose, tea and pink. As she has passed on I still carry on this tradition.
Thank you ---have a great day!!!!
