Drumroll

Oh dear.  No, that did not end well.  Not for the Canucks and not for Vancouver!  Shame on the rioters who made Vancouver fans look like such terrible losers.  My apologies on behalf of most of the people I know who watched on the TV in shock and horror.  Stupid is what stupid does...

Ok, we will most certainly move on to things a much more positive note.  I, for one, am not going to waste any more time on a hockey game then I need to.  Now to the matters at hand: the give-a-way!

So I spent a good long time sorting out comments, adding a few numbers for those of you who were so kind to 'like' me on facebook or become a follower and only used one comment box.  And wow, it really added up (242 comments)! Thank you kindly for such a warm response!  It was so nice to hear from all of you.
Once I got all the numbers sorted out, I put those into Random.org.  I decided to divey the numbers up into 3 groups and pick 1 from each section this time.  Just because it gives you all a little more of a chance...

Ok winners are:  Anna Blair (71), Dolan Geiman (104) and Tiffany (213)!!!  Congrats to all of you!
Please email me (heather@dahlhausart.com) with your contact info and a vase colour preference- I'll try to keep things fair so if you could put choice colour #1 and #2 I'll do my best!  Unfortunately there is a Canada Post strike on this week that is supposed to be over by next week.  Either way I'll try to send it off early next week for you!

Hope you have a great day! 

A Cup-cake Stand give-a-way!

It's about time for another give-a-way here on my blog, and in honour of wedding season, I thought this cup-cake stand might a good place to start!

This little cup-cake stand was created especially for a photo-shoot for a wedding magazine that will be out on the stands on June 21st.  The concept behind the shoot was soft pinks and creams with romantic and pretty elements! I had a lot of fun thinking about inspiration, but not heaps of time to make the work.  Nevertheless, I created a series of cake plates and cupcake stands inspired by Posie Bouquets and a Folk Art Love Bird design that I silkscreened onto my wheel-thrown form with a ceramic underglaze.  They measure 6" across and 3.5 inches high, with just enough room to put 3 lovely cupcakes on them.  Perfect for an intimate tea party or pull it out as a stand for your brie cheese in the evening, this little cupcake stand is simple and lovely for any table. 

To enter the give-a-way just leave a comment and say 'hello'! I just forgot to mention that I will announce the randomly chosen winner on friday, June 11!

Comments closed * Thanks!*

First off I do want to thank every one for contributing their favourite go-to blooms, for the lovely comments, and for entering! I would love to have give-a-ways more often and I appreciate your interest!
So without further adieu: the 2 vases go to entry #101- Judith who wrote:
For me it is Crocosmia. They remind me of my grandfather from South Africa, of my mother in Victoria BC who grew them in her front garden and of my wedding day on July 15th when I went to the florist the day of the wedding and bought a huge bouquet of them. Lots of memories!
and entry #52- Michelou who wrote:
I love dahlias and peonies, but I prefer them right out of the garden rather than from a flower shop!
Please email me at heather@dahlhausart.com with your address and so I can email you with a couple of choices (unless you already have a vase in mind, I'll let you know if I have it at the studio). Thanks everyone for stopping by and don't forget to check out the interview Stephanie did with me here!

Drumroll please
