little tienda : a "mexican bohemian" giveaway

Nothing like a little bohemian colour to warm you on cool, grey days.

I was first introduced to Em and her store Little Tienda last spring. Since then we have chatted over many an email, supporting each other as we attempt to build little businesses around our families. She has spent considerable time sourcing beautiful, handmade clothes and homewares from little towns in Mexico; she's ummed and ahhed over every embroidered stitch and dye imaginable. Her clientele are a passionate bunch - lovers of vivid colour, billowy blouses and bohemian detailing, they appreciate an injection of happy in their wardrobes and their homes.


............................................................................................................................................

The winner of this giveaway will receive the following items from Little Tienda:

- a 100% cotton rebozo scarf, hand-loomed by artisans in south-west Mexico. The style is "open weave" - traditionally used to carry babies, it will keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. Valued at $60 - winner will choose colour.

- hand loomed, hand dyed 100% wool cushion, made-to-order by a family of artisans who have been making cushions and rugs for over forty years. I adore this cushion! Valued at $95 (no insert).

- "la flor" blouse - I wear mine with jeans, a cardi and a scarf to add a little colour to my otherwise monochromatic winter wardrobe. Made from 100% cotton, this blouse has a lovely, loose fit. Valued at $69 - winner will choose size and colour

- use it as a bedspread, throw, picnic blanket or yoga mat, the falsa blanket is beautiful and practical. Valued at $60 - winner will choose colour.

To enter all you need to do is leave a comment and answer this question: "What's your favourite way to stay warm in winter?" Em and I will choose a winner based on the best little story you can tell (no essay required!). The winner will be announced in this post on Thursday 27th June at 9pm. 

Good luck!
