Aren't I Lucky?

A couple of weeks ago, I entered a Mother's Day competition on Ryan's Garden blog to win a pair of luxury handmade ladies gardening gloves. Now I'm not the luckiest person in the world, so it was a great surprise to me that I won, especially considering there were so many entrants.

I emailed my address to Ryan last Monday, who in turn, passed on my details to Love Thy Space, who were supplying the gloves. I was very pleasantly surprised to receive the gloves in the post on Wednesday, how's that for service?

The gloves are leather and handmade, and although they look feminine, will be ideal for the tougher jobs around the garden and allotment. I love them, so thank you Ryan for hosting the competition, and thank you Love Thy Space for supplying them.

Ryan hosts lots of competitions on his blog and has a fabulous one running at the moment where you could win tickets to RHS Chelsea and a guided tour by Andrew Fisher Tomlin.

I would also urge you to check out the Love Thy Space website as they sell some beautiful items. If you want to be in with a chance of winning one of their products, check back on my blog next week as I will be hosting a competition.

  13. Congratulations! Enjoy wearing your new gloves. They do look a bit too posh to get dirty, though! I think I would keep them to wear when folks come to see my garden.

  15. Congratulations! Gloves look too pretty to work with them in the garden. Maybe only for pruning roses or something where you know you will not get them dirty.
    I’m writing this because I know who dirty my gloves get from working in the garden, especially now in spring, when everything is wet and muddy.

  20. Thank you for all your comments. The gloves haven't yet been worn, they look a bit too good to use at the allotment, so I might use them when pottering in the garden.

    Thank you for visiting my blog, Vicky and Dirty Girl Gardening.
