"Magic"
AUGUST - my least favorite month. As a child, the novelty of being out of school was waning and I wanted to see all my friends again. As an adult its a month that seems to take summer just one month too long. Its hot, its humid (very), the flowers are wilting, there's heat haze in the air and well -- you get the idea.

So let's find some fun to get me through this month!
"Joy"
I'd like to offer a "Whisper" doll each Friday in August to one of you. Come one, come all! Each Friday I'll pick a name (from the comments at the bottom of this posting) and send out a doll. That name will be removed from the pool. You only need to apply once.

If you'd like to read more about this "Whisper" series you'll find it back in February, where come to think of it I was probably complaining about the weather also *smile"

I love your Whisper Community. However, since I already have one of your friends, feel free to omit me from the drawing...if you want to.
ReplyDeleteAugust just came too fast! We really have only had about a month of summer weather and we really didn't have much of a Spring. Now our weatherman says 70 degree weather is in the forecast for next week. Well, that's wonderful work outside weather, but really I am hoping it's not a sign of an early fall. Unless we can have about 3 months of sunny 70s...THAT would be a gift from the Universe!!
Have a great weekend.
xx, Carol
What luck! Just the way to begin my day by taking a chance and keeping my fingers crossed. :) August is my least favorite month and this has been a bad summer all around, but the idea of a Whisper may change the way I feel about August!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win one of your dolls! They're adorable....
ReplyDeleteAugust comes with a touch of sadness-maybe that's not the right word-but I just hate to see signs of fall already, and see certain birds go, the lightning bugs are done.....I don't want to dwell on what I don't have though! Stupid me! There's much to be thankful for-and I choose to be grateful!
You are too funny, Penny! We always see the grass as greener on the other side. I agree, August is awful this year. I'm with Carol, here mostly to say you are a peach, not to enter as I have one of your dolls too. Spread the love around!
ReplyDeleteI adore your dolls and would be incredibly excited to receive one! I come here frequently, just to feel the joy and dream about having more time to make delightful items like this than the practical charitable giving ones I spend so much time creating. Perhaps one of these little charmers would remind me of that! The end of summer always feels like a loss but then I remember the joy of each new season and do my best to welcome it, as well. But yes, I would love to win one of these beautiful little gifts from your own heart and hands! Thanks so much for this lovely opportunity!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea and so generous, I would love to own one of your dolls, your posts always bring me joy.
ReplyDeleteJust a summer would be good here, its lovely today but we only seem to get one a week then its back to the rain and grey skies.
Goodness, I'm still waiting for Summer to start - it's overcast and cool here at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your Whispers will find good homes!
Love the whisper series. Here it is mid winter, but not as you know it. We actually need more rain as it is rather dry. Frosts and wind.
ReplyDeleteI'd really like to give a Whisper a home. Thank you so much.

August is my least favourite month too. I loved the whisperers and would be honoured if one appeared in my home
ReplyDeleteAugust isn't my favourite either! not yet Autumn and the garden is wilting! the days are getting shorter and the garden and I have run out of steam!!
ReplyDeleteOn a whim, I went to Somerset web site and saw your adorable dolls. They are so unique and heart felt I wish I'd thought of it myself !
ReplyDeleteI would jump for joy if I won one of your 'Whisper' dolls. I too dislike the heat and humidity of summer days.
ReplyDeleteAugust, the stepping stone to September and Autumn, my favorite season. I flew over here from Textile Butterfly and your Whisper dolls are pure whimsy and magic.
