Giveaway - Non-Sewing



ETA: Blogger's comments are goofy today. First they're there, then they're not. Don't worry if yours appears to have vanished - the comments will be back when Blogger fixes the bug. But if it's not fixed by Saturday, I have the comments saved in my emails.

* * * * *

I know this is a strange thing to be giving away on a mostly sewing-related blog, but what the heck. I'm sure there are some others of you out there that like to cook as much as I do. This collection of herbs & spices are extras I received work-related (too complicated to go into the details) and they are high quality, new in sealed jars, and pretty to look at even if you don't cook. ;-)

What you'll get:

One each of Sage, Poppy Seed, Fennel Seed, Paprika, Muchi Curry, Saffron, Ground Ginger, Black Peppercorns, Chives, 1 Vanilla Bean, Basil, Oregano.

What to do:

Just leave a comment on this post by Friday, July 9. You don't have to friend me or follow me or anything extra. But no Anonymous comments/entries please. I'll do the random number generator thingie and post the results on Saturday.

I have two complete collections so there will be two winners.

Unfortunately, I can only ship these food items within the USA, so I'll have to restrict this to those readers. Apologies to the international-to-me peeps.
