Japan Quake Appeal: silver cherry blossom


Jo who blogs at A bit of this and that has launched an appeal for the victims of the Japan earthquake and tsunami. There is a master list of all the blogs taking part here.

I'm joining in by running a raffle on this post to give away this little silver cherry blossom necklace - in Japan it is a symbol of hope.


  • The raffle is open to anyone, no matter where you live
  • If you'd like you name in the hat for this raffle please could you donate £5 to the British Red Cross by clicking here (you can highlight the 'Other' box and click through to donate)
  • You will receive a payment reference number- please pop that  number in your comment here
  • You may enter as many times as you like but each comment should have a receipt number 
  • You may also enter by emailing me with a reference number
  • Postage is free
The raffle will end on Friday 25th March - I will draw a winner that evening using random.org. Thankyou x

  8. Just had a silverpebble fix. I love the little windmill. I adore the teapot. I knew hawthorn was called Bread and cheese, now I know why; daren't eat cow parsley because it looks like hemlock; and are they really Ancient Egyptian Faience beads? Where on earth can one buy those?
    Lovely lovely. Glad the babes are better and I hope you weren't wearing just pyjama bottoms.....
