I'm so excited today as I've been plotting a dandelion giveaway! I have just passed the 200 post mark & it's time to give something back to my lovely, loyal, funny & fantastic friends! I love to celebrate special occasions, well actually I just like celebrating! So this little giveaway is my way of saying thankyou & also having some fun myself.
So here is what you might win. First off is a dandelion bunny, it could be like this one above....
or like one of these twins. Or it might be totally different, you get to choose! Whoever I pick out first will win a bunny & I will custom make it using colours/patterns handpicked by you.
I have some lovely new alpaca offcuts too & some gorgeous vintage fabrics so matching them up will be fun!
Number two out of the hat will receive a String of Hearts similar to these, but again you can choose your colour combo. Yay!
Number three will be getting two Lovehearts of your colour/pattern choice.
All winners will also receive a mixed bag of beautful biodynamic garlic from The Organic Paddock. If you are an overseas friend then you might have to put up with something sweet instead.
This giveaway is open to all my dear mates far & wide, I really appreciate you all and love to read your comments & visit you. I love the way we can chat about everything and nothing, how I can be so inspired, moved and captivated. I love that I can see into other peoples worlds, see colours, patterns, moods, through someone else's eyes. It's such a relief to read that someone else feels the same way, has similar flat patches, or finds the crazy whirl of motherhood/creative life/inner life at times a struggle. I love to read of other people's successes, their joys, new babies, new idea's. Blogland has been a very rewarding & welcoming & fun place for me and it has become a part of my day & life that brings me a lot of pleasure, and some much needed space at times too. So thank you my dear friends, lots of love to you all!
Before I go a couple of important things I should add. To be in the running for this giveaway just leave me a comment telling me what you like about my blog. If you are a regular reader (follower) let me know for an extra entry. Good luck to all & I hope you have a great week, see you soon xo
ps: Oh, I almost forgot, it's my birthday today!

I love the hand knit sweaters that the bunnies wear. They make me smile. I can crochet-but I don't knit so they are especially precious.
I love hearing about and seeing life in a different part of the world....and I would love some garlic to-yum.

My little one would love a bunny.

Ps my verification code is unpress which is the opposite of what you do
Happy Birthday! I've loved reading your blog since I discovered it a few months back. I love to see and read about Daylesford and your family and all the things you get up to. And I've admired those bunnies so deeply every time you post a picture of a new one. I'd so love to win one of those! I suppose I should say it would be for my little girl... but really it would be for me!
Happy Birthday!
I'd love to enter your giveaway please - congrats on 200 posts, too.
What a wonderful giveaway! I've always thought it would be fun to have one of your lovely bunnies and your hearts are so sweet. Can you believe 200 posts?! I look at my numbers, I think I'm at 169 or something, and I just can't believe it! Of course I'm already a follower ;) Happy Birthday Beck! Mine is June 5th, I'll be 35. Ouch!
happy birthday Beck!!! I hope you were totally spoilt and congrats on 200 posts! I love your honesty in your blog, about the flat times and needing time out etc, I also love your op shop adventures and all the treasures you find!!

Happy Birthday to you!
I love reading about your gorgeous family and your country life. It sounds so lovely!
I am a follower too. ;)
First of all happy birthday!!!! Hope all your bunnies do something special for you.
I love reading your blog because I can relate to so much in it, kids, landscape, opping, craft. I love your photos too.
Happy Birthday. May IS the month!
I do follow your wonderful blog, and would love to have chance to win one of your lovely bunnies, which are why I started reading it in the first place. I don't know what it is about them but they are just right- shape, cardigan, ears, fabric choices, they are just right!
Why do I like your blog? Too many reasons to mention, but I think it comes down to the tone of your writing, and your eye for taking photographs; they are just so right. Very nice job!
Happy Birthday Beck!
AND
Happy 200th post too!!!
I really enjoy reading dandelion blog and I like to come back often to hear what you've been up to and how you are.
One reason I come back is because I can relate to your ups and downs (the blahs) …one of my favorite posts ever is your post "on aging”
It is so useful to hear people expressing real emotions - not just showing lots of pretty things! I also share a changing self perception that comes with getting older but, my tummy sticks out and I getting flabby jowls!!!
Another reason I return is for inspiration, I do think your bunnies are fantastic, the hearts too and the loved the doll with the blanket hair – I hope you make some more!
I hope you have a beautiful birthday Beck, keep celebrating all week!!
Michele X
P.S.
I do love to see your flee market finds too – we’d be no good shopping together – we would be over the same things – you would have to give me a head start! ;)
Hi Beck...Tilly and I are keen on all your stuff so throw our names in the hat. Nice of you to be so generous to others on your Birthday, and we feel lucky to know you!!
Happy Birthday! And congrats on reaching 200 posts! Your blog is one of my favourites as I love seeing your gorgeous bunnies and heart strings, your photographs are beautiful and you make me jealous with your fantastic flea market finds! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Oh and yes I follow you.
Happy birthday beautiful girl!
I love your blog because it is all about you and the way you see the world. I think you are the acest and I feel so blessed to have you in my life. XX

Ooh what a wonderful giveaway. You generous thing you! Happy birthday for yesterday. You know my fav thing about your blog is of course your bunnies. I love seeing all the different combos and I love your hearts. they are so sweet. I also like your blog even more that I have met you in person.

Congratulations and belated happy birthday to you! My birthday is tomorrow. Us Geminis are great ;-)
Your bunnies are so adorable. I'd love to give one a home in Ireland!
I love reading about your fleamarket finds and your creations. I dream about living in Melboure (was there last year) so I love any posts you have about that fabulous city!
And I'm already a follower.
Happy Birthday Beck. The beans are still in the fridge...I've topped and tailed them, but i was feeling poorly...I think I overdid the 'tasting' of the chilli sauce yesterday. I think my innards are scarred! Bloody Masterchef "Every good cook should taste as they go" Hmph. Maybe they should put a disclaimer "but not ultra hot chilli sauce!"
Getting down to brass tacks...the blog I think it is because you are a truly loving and open person...which I am not...I am closed and bitter...but I am trying!
xxNick
happy Birthday Beck and congrats on 200 posts!! Hmm, what do I like about your blog, well I've had you in my reader for awhile now and I think I like the liitle peek we get into your life. You have a beautiful family and youall seem happy, yet you still manage to keep your blog feeling real. (oh and your bunnies are super cute)
Always a delight popping over here to see what treasures you've found, creating you've been up to or musings you've been, well, musing on! Happy birthday to you, happy 200 posts to Dandelion, and thanks for the fodder, creative and ruminatory...
Hi Bec
I like reading your blog, 'cause I've met you in person and I feel like I am "visiting" you.
I follow you, but I don't know how do do the RSS thingy.
Plus I like to see the bunnies! I sleep with my green cardy bunny tucked into my arm every night. Took bunny with me when I stayed at my Mum's recently and my nieces (4 and 6) saw it. Had to explain to their confused little faces that the bunny helps Aunty Simmie sleep better!
They both said "can you make me one?" Explained that a lovely lady makes them. Looks like I will be ordering 2 at Christmastime, ha.
But, hey, if I won another one, I could tuck one under each arm!
See you soon

Happy Birthday!
I love all the beautiful colours and pretty things that pop up in your blog all the time. I also appreciate your openness and honesty about the less pretty aspects of life!
PS hope your quilt is coming on nicely!
PPS I am a "follower"
I already feel so lucky to have been a previous winner of the lovely Holly the cardi bunny but just wanted to drop by and say big YAY! on 200 posts, very impressive. I also totally agree with your reasons for loving blogland and feel that your blog is one of the really inspiring and motivational blogs that I LOVE to visit, all the time. Happy Birthday too. x
Your bunnies are just so beautiful, I would love to own one! The thing I love about your blog is that the passion and love you have for what you do is always present in your posts. And you have the most amazing eye for great finds!
Oh, and Happy Birthday for Monday, it was mine on Sunday!
hehe, I just had to comment again as the word verif that popped up after leaving the last comment is "found", I wonder if that is a sign, as in you have "found" your winner??!
oh, and I just starting following, does that count as an extra entry??
Hi Beck, happy birthday! I've been reading your blog for a while now (I have it on my google reader) and I love your bunnies and reading about your craftiness. Happy blog anniversary too!
Congratulations on your bi-centenary posts.
I'm a relatively new follower of your blog and would like to take this opportunity to enter your competition.
I do like your Aussie 'down to earth' view of the world around you.
I'm only in Pakenham, but a lot of my day is spent travelling to and from work, with not enough time to slow down and relax.
Congratulations again - the bunnies are cute.
Happy Birthday for Monday my dear friend! Hope you enjoyed it, sorry I missed the big day. Wow, congratulations on 200 posts, that is a wonderful achievement. Thanks for sharing a little bit of your beautiful world with us, I love reading your blog and getting your take on life and things, you have a very refreshing way of looking at 'ordinary' things. Keep up the good work Beck, love Gyp xx
happy birthday to you and congrats on post 200.
what i love about your blog is that it is like a little haven to pop in on. always inspiring, always positive, always honest, always pretty and all about you, your family and straight from the heart stuff
Happy belated birthday xxx
I follow your blog but seem to have missed a few posts. I love your trip to the farm. Yep! The country life is just dandy alright. Is it too late to win a lovely bunnie for my brand new niece?
For the last 3 1/2 months you have been my Sunday Inspiration time. All week I work and chase a toddler and look after a studying husband. Sunday I wake up knowing I will have a glimpse into a life filled bunnies, big families, crafting and the country. Is it the escapism that makes me adore your blog, the images or the honesty? I'm not sure, all I know is I love sharing my Sundays with Dandelion.
