So, it's my birthday today.. and it's sort of a big one. I am now 40 years old!
(my mama told me it's the flirty & fun forties!)
Because it's my birthday, I wanted to do something special for my sweet chickadees (you!).
drum roll please
I'm doing a Birthday Giveaway that encompass a few of my favourite things!
If you've been following Tea & Chickadees for a while now, then you know I am a big fan of analog photography (lomography & polaroids), that I love kittycats, I have a pretty sweet dog named Grace, I'm a sucker for anything owl shaped, enjoy tea on a regular basis, and am a fan of handmade and vintage.
This happy little package covers all of those things, and one sweet Tea & Chickadees follower will win 'em all!
Take a gander at all the pretty pictures I took of the goodies included:
Here's what's in the Birthday Goody Bag:
little hoots owl earrings by Mel of Needle & Nest Design
teacup & feather tiny framed photography by Erin of Feather + Anchor
a few of my favourite teas: Zen Green Tea, English Breakfast Tea, Echinacea Elder Tea
the sweetest kitten & yarn yellow tin!
a vintage lusterware owl shaker!
a Happy Happy Joy Joy card by luckyjackson
an original polaroid of my dear puppydog Grace
a brand new Olympus Trip 500, a fun little automatic film camera!
{I have this exact same camera & have so much fun with it; some of those photos can be found here}
I had a lot of fun putting this birthday package together, and look forward to giving it to someone who will enjoy all of my favourite things!
{here I am with Gracie as a fresh new 40 year old! huzzah!}
