Friday Giveaway

First I’d like to apologize to everybody who’s going to read this post thinking that I’m giving away a free holiday to Gran Canaria, a set of Chanel beauty products or a case of Veuve Cliquot bottles or even some Amazon vouchers … I’m not that generous (or rich)! And I’m not trying to draw more readers to this modest blog of mine. I’ve got a genuine reason for this giveaway.



I’m so pleased about the news that I do not have to “invest” £££££ into a new car (yet) that I thought of giving away my latest surplus : a beautiful red Moleskine hard cover diary for 2009. I actually bought for myself but I’ve just received another beautiful diary from my best friend in Italy, so I have to let it go. As much as I like the Moleskine I’d hate wasting it in one of my drawers.

The Moleskine is really lovely, quite big but not bulky, 13 by 21 cm, with a red hardback cover, still sealed, as you can see from the photo. It has 400 acid free pages, an expandable inner pocket with an insert of tabbed pages and 260 labels.


It is the legendary notebook used by Hemingway, Picasso and Bruce Chatwin. Well, not exactly this one…this is mine but it could be yours if you want it.


“It’s a busy world. Schedules, appointments, obligations - how does one keep up with it all? The answer is as simple as a Moleskine Diary. With Style.”


If you’re interested, just leave a message below until Sunday night. If more than one person is interested, I will let Lily the Hamster decide next Monday morning and let the lucky “winner” know. Gosh, now I feel like a Lottery presenter!

Ciao and good luck!

Well, no bones about it Antonella. I would absolutely love it. I am always scribbling down my thoughts on pieces of paper and this would be a lovely thing to have and special because it would be from you. However, I am quite happy to go into the lucky dip and wish others good luck.

A red moleskin notebook is almost as good as a new red car!!;-) Very sweet of you to have this give away.

I already have a diary for 2008/2009 so I won't throw my name in the ring, but what a lovely gesture to offer it to others. Have a lovely weekend x

Very generous Antonella.
I have a nice diary given to me by a friend.
Thanks for dropping by on Leeds daily photo. Always good to see new people.

I'm shamelessly throwing my hat into the ring - if it was good enough for Ernest Hemingway, it's good enough for me!
PS: Now realise why your name doesn't sound 'Yorkshire'. Silly me!

I have one, otherwise I would have loved it! Mine is a boring silved WHSmith one. Good luck to everyone in the hat and good for you Antonella on passing it on - recycling via blog!

I hope someone who really wants it, gets it. I find it much easier to write online.

Enjoy your week coming up.
