Elizabeth Bradley giveaway

August 14, 2015
















Needlepoint is an art form, hobby, profession, and industry to millions of people world-wide.  While it's difficult to know exactly when needlepoint began, we do know that during the Victorian era, Berlin work, a type of needlepoint, came into popularity. Berlin work is often characterized by brilliant colors and combinations of geometric and floral designs.  Needlepoint became popular again in the late twenties, and continues to increase in popularity with a renewed interest in handicrafts. Elizabeth Bradley has reproduced many designs from this era.  Founded in 1986, Elizabeth Bradley has been designing and manufacturing quality tapestry kits and continues to add new designs each year. With a desire to provide needle workers with quality heirloom designs combined with an inspiration of historical needlework, the kits are crafted to provide hours of stitching enjoyment and delight in your finished work.  With tapestry work, you are making history by continuing a beautiful tradition.

I've loved Elizabeth Bradley's designs since I discovered her in the 80s.  The kits themselves are works of art, and include a printed canvas, 100% wool spun and dyed in the UK, comprehensive instructions, and needles.  If you are new to needlepoint, I have to warn you:  needlepoint can turn into an obsession; a lovely, relaxing, productive obsession. Needlepoint projects are most often small enough to tuck into a purse for a quick on-the-go or travel project.  For the last 40 years, I've almost never had a time when I wasn't working on some sort of needlepoint.

I'd like to thank Elizabeth Bradley for offering a giveaway to my readers.  The cute mini-pansy kit shown below, valued at $84, is complete with detailed instructions, printed canvas, fine British wool, and a needle and will be given to one of my readers.  Don't worry if you are new to needlepoint, this is a perfect project for all skill levels.  To enter, go to Elizabeth Bradley's website, and after you browse around a bit, sign up for her newsletter here,  then come back here and comment below.  If you are new to commenting on blogs, go to the end of this post.  You will comment at the end of the comments section.  Make your comment, then at the dropdown menu that says "comment as...", select your profile.  If you do not have a profile, just select "anonymous".  It's very easy, but if you have a problem, you can always email me using the sidebar "contact" button, which is a little envelope button.  Make sure that your comment contains your contact info, very important!  Elizabeth Bradley sends out a few emails a month and will not share email addresses with a third party.  This giveaway is open all, including my international readers.  The winner will be selected on Saturday, August 22.  Good luck! 

While you're poking around the site promise me you'll check out my favorites: the adorable Alphabet Rug, the gorgeous collection of Victorian Animals, the floral Botanical Garden Collection, and the Christmas kit collection.  xo Kristen

I have always loved Pansies, their faces remind me of Pekineses Dogs faces. Before I was married I was actually Caroline Elizabeth Bradley so I feel I also have a connection to Elizabeth Bradley.

  62. Once I got off the phone with the broker (Mr. John Michael) from HASHFLARE I was convinced they were the real deal. What strikes me the most about them was the profit I was able to make in the short term. I eventually needed money to attend to an urgent financial situation only for HASHFLARE to deny my withdrawal request after my contract with them expired already and then went on maintenance indefinitely. I became so worried that I had to take more loans to attend to my needs. I was stuck waiting for HASHFLARE’s approval to make withdrawals but all to no avail. They stopped responding to my emails and other forms of correspondence. Checking online to see if this was normal because I got confused then I saw so many negative reviews of HASHFLARE. I knew for a fact I have been scammed. I deposited a total of 226k euros. I was desperately in need of help and did an intensive search on wealth recovery companies. After I was able to sieve out a number of recovery companies with no URLs, I decided to carry on with GLOBALASSETRECOUP.COM after seeing reviews that the company helped recovered monies lost to fraudulent companies and is based in the metropolitan city of NY. A forensic analysis of my dealings with HASHFLARE was carried out and my claim was found to be legitimate. I got 85% of my money back through this international wealth recovery company. Without a doubt, HASHFLARE & TRADENIX are scam firms and they do not have your interests at heart. Send a mail to contact AT globalassetrecoup. c om if you are a victim of fraud now!

  63. I was one of the many unfortunate victims of a phishing attack on my Trezor wallet. I had accidentally clicked on a link to an illegitimate site that appeared to be my Trezor wallet and entered my login credentials. It wasn't until I'd lost $4.4 million in bitcoin, ethereum and bnb from my wallet that I realized what had happened.

    I knew that it was too late to get my money back, but I thought at least there was nothing else that could be done. That's when I found Digital Triangulation Experts (DTE) with expertise in smart contract with thehackerspro.com who specialize in digital triangulation and reverse engineering. They helped me recover $4.4 million dollars in stolen cryptocurrency from my Trezor wallet after I mistakenly clicked on a phishing link!

    I am now able to detach the rest of my BNB from the tangle network which will allow me to use it in my everyday life again!i am converting to fiat almost immediately. im done with crypto

  64. All of these brokers and account managers should be avoided at all costs. They took over $80,000 of investment capital from me, and they persisted in asking for additional monies before approving and processing my withdrawal request. In the end, I lost all I had invested. The customer service staff had rejected every attempt to contact them. Moving on was quite difficult and devastating for me. Thank heavens I listened to a broadcast that explained how they used cryptocurrencyrecovery to recover all their money back. After contacting the provided information for advice, I received a response within a short period of time and was asked to provide all pertinent legal information regarding my investment. I immediately followed their instructions accordingly and to my utter astonishment, I successfully got my money back. I declared that I would not keep this information to myself but would instead divulge it to the public in order to help all victims of scams recover their lost money. This is a significant victory over this online schem . .. Thanks cryptocurrencyrecovery2@gmail.com for your excellent work.
