My favourite shop Teddy Bears of Witney always has fantastic displays.
Not far from the Teddy bears there is a shop that sells sewing supplies, I liked their simple embroidery on display.
This cute little chap is from the same sewing supplies shop. You might have guessed I love teddies. :)
The local cafe Huffkins has its own selection of the Jubilee goodies on offer.
And then there is a shop that sells linen. But I better stop or you'll get bored.
It is in the shop above that I found this cute tea towel "Proud to be British" from McCaw Allan. The design is by cartoonist Annie Tempest of the Tottering-by-Gently fame.
I would like to offer this tea towel for one of my blog readers.
To enter this giveaway, please comment below and leave some means of contacting you in case you win (either your Twitter name or Forum username/if you are from one of the comping forums, or if you are a blogger, make sure you have an email address in your profile). Sorry, but I won't be chasing a winner who hasn't left any means of contact (I don't ask for your email address).
You DO NOT have to follow my blog to be entered in the draw. If you do, I'll be delighted, but it won't give you a bonus entry.
Question (pick any): how do you plan to celebrate the Jubilee? Will you be baking (like I plan) cakes? Or having a street party? Or you have nothing planned except watching the TV?
I will pick a winner after the closing day of 17 June 2012.
P.S. This is not a sponsored giveaway, I bought this item and will send it to the winner.

That teddy shop looks fabulous! Union Jacks are EVERYWHERE and there are some beautiful displays here as well. We will probably go out for a meal and down to the sea and watch the celebrations on TV :)

ReplyDeleteI don't have anything planned as it depends on the weather. There are local events going on so we might go to one if the weather is fine. If it is raining I'm not sure I want to go out. My son is having a jubilee afternoon at his school on June 1st. @clairew137

For our sins spent the weekend watching the TV coverage, all I can say was thank God for Philip Scofield. As the BBC coverage was dire.
ReplyDeleteWe spent the weekend doing all kinds of things- a scarecrow hunt in the pouring rain- great for pudding jumping 3 and 5 yr olds! At a BBQ with family and joining in activities in our town making our own bags and crowns. I can be contacted on twitter @clareo122
ReplyDeleteI had to work! I am cabin crew and was on standby every day of the jubilee! Boo!
ReplyDeleteI took my little girl to our little village's street party. We had party food, balloons and hats. We sung songs, played games and danced. & my little princess got to take home a Jubilee mug to remember the occasion. It was a lovely day. I hope everyone else had a lovely jubilee day too. xx

that tea towel looks like you took a photo of us standing at the back of the crowds on the Thames as the boats went past.
ReplyDeleteAs I'm quite small I basically saw nothing at all (although I was glad Kate wore red because at least I caught a glimpse of red and could say I'd 'seen' her) and hubby says the queen had her back to us as she went past....
So my jubilee weekend was spent in the rain alongside the Thames and enjoying every moment of it! @piperanddaisy
We had a family BBQ, thanks for the giveaway. @7hippopotamus
ReplyDeleteOur save our library group had a party and protest pop up library, with music, food and books of course @sheridarby

My dad was over for a few days so we just chilled out and watched what was on tv of the celebrations. There was going to be a street party for all but it was canceled a few weeks b4 and nothing else was going on where I live. Might have been better that way as the rain was so heavy here.

ReplyDeleteAnyways, all we'd planned was to watch the telly, but then I found some free printable masks so instead, we watched telly as the Royal Family (with two queens):)

I drew the short straw at work and worked (Im a mental health nurse in A&E) it was a very busy weekend mainly due to too much alcohol and related problems. I did catch the highlights of the concert and such would have loved to have been there, felt very patriotic
ReplyDeleteI made cakes and went to a town party!
