A Giveaway ~

I'd rather sit alone on a pumpkin
and have it all to myself
than be crowded on a velvet cushion....
~ Henry David Thoreau


In the Spirit of Generosity & Friendship ~

this little bear setting on his pumpkin
will be offered as a Giveaway!


he is made from German mohair, stuffed with cotton batting...
his pompion (pumpkin) is made from beautiful hand dyed wool ( it is stuffed with clean sawdust)
and I've stuck in little white headed pins for you too...

measures approx. 5" tall and 5" across ~
...one of a kind and original.


would you like him to come to live with you?
then all you have to do is leave me a comment here on this post...
I will draw a name on Wednesday, November 2nd and announce the winner ~

Best of Luck to those who play along!


blessings from the farm,

Lori
