Fabulous Tartan / plaid surprise

I have been casting my eye over the stunning tartan that is trending everywhere at the moment in clothes & interiors. Even though I have absolutely no Scottish roots, I still love the classic, timeless look of tartan, especially the more modern colours that are so very cosy for Winter.

Some weeks back, while browsing various interior décor sites for ideas, I saw a competition in Country Homes & Interiors on tartan's & decided on the spur of the moment to enter. We have all done it - entered & thought 'if only ... '

I forgot about it but have still been putting ideas on a pinterest-tartan-interiors board.

Yesterday a courier rang the bell with a parcel. I signed for it - not expecting a parcel - & Ms M (who is visiting from Dorset) & I opened the parcel. I was surprised (having forgotten about the competition because I never win anything) & at first thought  'ooops, did I accidently click BUY on the various tartan fabrics I was watching on Ebay?'

Thankfully we found the note from Country Homes & Interiors advising of my win & including the ready made curtains & two cushion covers.


I am so happy with the unexpected win that I am still grinning like a Cheshire cat & will soon be unveiling the new Winter look thanks to this fabulous prize. 

Thank you so much Country Homes & Interiors - Winter has just become a whole lot brighter & my home a whole lot trendier!

Have you ever won anything unexpectedly? Please visit again soon to see the Tartan update!
