  1. Double rainbows = yippeee!!!

    I love the capture of light in the first and third photos particularly Carol & thank you for teaching me the line about rainbows being a reminder of a promise kept.

    Your giveaway is [like you] very generous and I would be beyond thrilled to showcase 'England Swings' in blue in my bedroom and 'Retro Mod Aqua' in my study - they are bobbliciously beautiful.

    Happy day Lovely You & how wonderful that 200+ people are regularly making their way to your fabulous space for some natural wisdom, friendship and inspiration.

    xx Felicity

  2. Congratulations on 200 followers--your blog truly is a place of happiness, inspiration, and joy! I would have to say my two favorite pillows (though it was hard to narrow down!) were 'Blue Geo on Baby Blue' and 'Island Girl'. I love the soothing colors :) Thanks so much for another great giveaway, and have a fantastic day.

  3. Carol, I love rainbows too! Just beautiful!

    And how lovely of you to offer a giveaway too! I have just moved house and realise that I need some lovely cushions with blue on them. I actually thought about you and your fabulous cushions on Sunday as I was setting up my new living area.

    After browsing your lovely collection on made it, I would love Tea Party Blue and England Swings Blue.

    Have a great day,

    Nicola

  4. That sort of wake up can only bode well for the week, I would reckon.

    Cannot believe the generosity of your giveaway! A lover of anything aproned, the Short and Sweet is the bees-iest of knees, as is the cushioned Swinging Rosie...

  13. Oh I love rainbows and these pics are gorgeous Carol! What a way to wake up in the morning, having this at your doorstep. You are so sweet to run this giveaway, a truly awesome prize.

  14. Congratulations on 200!! How very exciting!

    Those pictures are incredible. What a lovely view of promises kept.

    I don't know if your giveaway is world-wide or not, but if so, I have a friend that would fit "Island Girl" perfectly! I'd love to share it with her. Another favorite is "Scooting and Scarves." All your creations are incredible, so it's hard to choose!

    Blessings! Keep getting better!

  15. Not just one rainbow, but if you look closely there's a double one there. The top one is always fainter and you can also notice it as the sky between the two rainbows is usually darker.
    Now I'll wander over to you madeit shop in a mo, but first I must apologise....I thought that I was already a follower, but it appears not. (Actually on closer inspection, I seem to not be following quite a few blogs that I read...don't know what's going on there?
    Congrat on 200+ followers.

  22. What a beautiful rainbow, and what a generous giveaway! I love "Scooting 'n' Scarves" and "Spice".

  23. Hi Carol, this is such a generous giveaway and a very difficult choice to make too. After about half an hour (!), I think I would plump for the 'vine on grey' cushion and the 'short n sweet' apron.

    Have a wonderful summer. Kate x
