Another bag is finished, this time it’s the raspberry one. It is knitted in an alpaca/wool/acrylic mix yarn in a lovely shade of green.
I have lined the bag in a pretty raspberry print fabric and pinned the raspberry corsage on to the front.
August and September are a time of celebration in my family. We had my husband’s birthday in August, mine last week and on Monday 12th my husband and I will be married for 30 years! To celebrate our Pearl Anniversary we going on a little trip to Barcelona from Monday to Friday. We are soooo looking forward to it. 🙂
So I will be missing from this little place next week and I thought it would be a good time to have a small giveaway to run over the days I’m away!
I have made a little corsage of Michaelmas Daisies. I don’t have any of these in my garden but I would like some, they are a lovely little burst of colour at this time of year.
So if you would like to win this corsage along with some pretty notecards then all you have to do is leave a comment before midnight (BST) on Sunday 18th September, easy as that! (This giveaway is now closed, thank you)
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and an enjoyable week ahead and I’ll ‘see’ you all soon.
Thanks as always for visiting me here and for all your lovely birthday wishes this week, I really appreciated every single one of them. 🙂

Love the bag and hope you have a lovely time in Barcelona – somewhere I have always wanted to see so I’m hoping you’ll post lots of photos on your return.
Congratulations to you and your husband on your Pearl Wedding anniversary 😀
And I love the corsage 😀
Congratulations to you both, wow 30 years is a great achievement. Enjoy Barcelona, it’ll be wonderful I’m sure so please take some photos for us – in between enjoying yourselves of course!
Your new bag is absolutely lovely, I think the ‘seeds’ are very clever and your daisy corsage is beautiful too so I’d love to go into that hat of yours!! x
Hi Viv, Congratulations on your anniversary! Such a special occasion, have a lovely time in Barcelona! I hope you take pictures for all of us. Love the new bag and the corsage. Count me in! Enjoy your special time, xoRobin❤
Happy Happy Anniversary!!! I do hope your trip is lovely! Your knitting amazes me every time. With you in mind I picked up the needles and have started to teach myself. It’s going to be a long journey :).
Another beautfiul bag, Vivienne! It is so hard to choose between the raspberry and strawberry… a little like having to choose an ice-cream when you are little.
Have a beautiful time in Barcelona and congratulations on 30 years of wedded bliss 😉
Such a pretty bag. Have a lovely time in Barcelona.x
Your bags are very lovely Vivienne and sorry I missed your birthday – happy belated wishes! x
Hi Vivienne, another divine bag from Green Rabbit HQ, the raspberry fabric is lovely and unusual, I have lots of strawberry fabrics in my stash but haven’t seen rasps on cloth.
What a lovely time of year to have your anniversary, the days still long enough to be nice and especially in Barcelona, not that I’ve been, but I’m sure it will be fab.
Enjoy yourselves x
Happy anniversary to you both… have a wonderful time in Barcelona – it is a gorgeous and really interesting city with so many things to see. If you get a chance, go and see the ‘singing fountains’ (google them!) one evening, they are amazing!! The view from the top is fantastic and it really is a great sight, it is an experience I tell you 😉 Also, Park Guell is a must see – the mosaics are amazing, oh I’m jealous! Will cross my fingers for your lovely giveaway too 🙂 Jenny x
Happy anniversary to you both hope you have a fantastic trip. I think your creations are amazing, you are very talented. Hopefully I will be lucky in the giveaway. Sue
Happy birthday Vivienne! And I’m so very sorry I’m late sending you this. I’ve been changing over computers and it’s always more complicated than you think it will be!
Hope you had a great day!

Wow! 30 years! Congratulations. I’m only half way there 🙂
A very belated happy Birthday to you Vivienne and many congratulations on your anniversary. Hope you’ve had a wonderful time in Barcelona. I love your new designs – the raspberry bag is beautiful.
Nicely shot. The pottery was interesting – to see finally the influence in Mexico of the Spanish taste for color. Again, in the rest, the mix of traditional European concepts with modern disregard for the conventions of form.
Obviously I missed the giveaway (doh! that’ll teach me for being so behind in my reading) but I wanted to say how lovely the raspberry bag is, especially with it’s matching lining.
My sister’s garden is full of purple Michaelmas Daisies at the moment and it’s inspiring me to plant some in mine (which is just dull green right now with very little flower colour).
Happy Anniversary!
