That said, if you're here looking at my giveaway, then you probably know how awesome Sew, Mama, Sew! is and you probably don't know anything about me and my own blog. So welcome! My name is Nicole and I like to sew, do hand embroidery, and garden. I live in Buffalo, NY, and I have two kids, two cats, a husband, and an Etsy shop where I sell my hand embroidered accessories.
On to the giveaway! I'm offering up any one of the coin purses in my shop. You can find them here, but here is an example of one:
To enter the giveaway, please leave a comment on this post telling me what flowers you most look forward to seeing in the spring/summer (I am looking forward to seeing my big white puffy hydrangea bloom). Also, please leave your email address so I can contact you if you win.
The giveaway will be open until May 25, 8pm EDT, at which time I will close comments on this post. I will pick a random winner using random.org and publish the results by May 27. International entries are welcome.
Good luck! I look forward to hearing from you :) For more giveaway fun, head back over to Sew, Mama, Sew! and enter your heart out!

I love peonies - so lush, aren't they?
ReplyDeletePeonies are my favorites. Usually there are some still around for my birthday, but since it's been so warm, so early I think they will be all gone by then. Still, I love seeing them. Thanks for participating in the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love tulips but their a spring flower not a summer one :(
ReplyDeleteLilacs, and I'm totally bummed, because my lilacs didn't bloom this year :( The peonies in the front yard are ready to go and I'm excited for them (but the back yard ones aren't doing a thing (prob because we transplanted them in the fall). I know you wanted this much detail ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I always look forward to my daffodils blooming - they're always the first ones, and their arrival means that spring is right around the corner! :) Thank you for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteIrises.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing tulips - such a beautiful splash of colour.

Hmm, hard choice, I love the tulips in our garden but either side of our front path we have lavender. When that comes into bloom it grows over the path slightly so as you brush against it you release more of it's smell, if follows you around, it's nice and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteI like seeing my purple coneflower and sunflowers bloom.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see daffodils and forsythia but alas, I live in southwest FL and they don't grow here. Maybe a trip home to VA in the spring would be a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI have day lillies that I am looking forward to see bloom...but truly, I love almost all flowers...any and every one is unique and just gorgeous!!! :)
ReplyDeletethecountryblossom at hotmail dot com
Tulips are always a first sign of spring for me. I would LOVE to see my hydrangeas again, but they haven't bloomed in 2 years!
ReplyDeleteThat is just too cute - thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI still love gerbera daisies...I know it's not the most original. I live in the desert, so frankly, any flowers make me happy as we approach the summer. (It's 105 today. Whee!)

ReplyDeleteLove waiting for Daphne to come as love the scent
ReplyDeletelilies.
ReplyDeleteThe iris's, by far, are my faves right now. So many different varieties are blooming at once in my yard. I might be an Iris addict.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway.
I like columbines. Not only are they dainty, but they are early and their presence means summer is just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteI love love love zinnias!
ReplyDeleteI have two flower loves. The first is Lily of the Valley, which do not last long at all. My second favorite is the snapdragon. I have come to learn that they are actually perennials (even though most people treat them as annuals). So, I have a whole pile of snapdragons that have come up for the last few years. Some of them have even gone rogue and have started growing from the crack between the house and the driveway, etc.
ReplyDeleteI need a new wallet, and this one is so cute! I look forward to the cherry blossom trees blooming. They make spring so beautiful! annie@gluegunannie.com
ReplyDeleteI love lillies since my daughter is named Lily!
ReplyDeleteRoses == I loves me some roses. I wonder why - hint, hint, name??
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet coin purses! I love peonies, dahlias, hydrangeas.. actually pretty much anything that blooms makes me happy :)

I most look forward to the daffodils as they come up first in Spring.
ReplyDeleteI wait all winter for my lilacs and when they bloom it's heaven on earth...the scent is well worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteI love the peonies. They are so big and colorful that they always make me smile. Cute coin purse.
ReplyDeleteI love big, fluffy garden roses! Used them for my wedding!

ReplyDeleteI look forward to the sunflowers.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win.
I love seeing daffodils and roses. :)
ReplyDeleteI love, don't know englis word, but latin is Heuchera. Thanx for a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteFor me it is the tulips, the bright colours pop through the darkness and loudly proclaim Spring is here.
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to the snow drops, as they are the first sign of spring, then in summer it's "echinacea" and "diptam" (sorry I'm too lazy to search the dictioanry) anyway the frist in a great dark reddish purple and the latter one for the great smell, a bit like lemon lime and orange mixed in one with a beatful flowering...
ReplyDeleteI like seeing all flowers, but really dig the gerbera daisies.
ReplyDeleteI'm at a bit of a loss here - hahaha. Living in a gardenless apartment with a hubby that's allergic to pollen leaves me with limited options. I'd have to go for daisies, because I still love making daisy-chains with them and it's a favourite childhood memory :)

I'm still waiting on my roses to bloom, they're late and I don't know what the deal is! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love tulips because they come up early so they're a welcome sight after the long cold winter.
ReplyDeleteI love to see lilacs in spring. I think they're amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win.
I''m not sure I can choose just one. I love those first snowdrops, and then the lilacs and peonies, but my favorite flower is my flax plant which flowers every morning and all the blooms fall off in the heat of the day, only to be replaced the next morning. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love beautiful hibiscus!
ReplyDeleteI am a hydrangea lover too. I have two bushes a beautiful blue one and a white one. So pretty. Thanks for the chance to win. Linda

I planted some sunflower seeds last week and am really hoping to have some gorgeous tall sunflowers come August or September. So far I have little half-inch sprouts.
ReplyDeleteI have a rose bush with the most beautiful deep pink roses. Just gorgeous when it hits that first full bloom!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower that I look forward to are lilacs. I have been going out each morning and cutting a few that I see. They make the whole house smell like heaven. I have purple and white ones in my yard, I only wished the blooms lasted longer than they do.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the chance to win!
