Farmgirl Chic Vintage Safari Cloud Giveaway!

I loved the idea of creating a fiber reminiscent of an old photograph! This beautiful cloud contains a smattering of corridale cross, kid mohair and just enough Angelina to keep it all interesting. There is a beautiful unfurled picture of it here.

Melissa's work just keeps getting better! Take a look at this beautiful handspun here.
MMM I could just eat it!

We're giving away this delicious vintage safari cloud! Just visit Farmgirlchic, let the beauty of her store surround you on this lovely morning and find something you love. Write about it here in the comments section. We'll draw for a winner later in the week.
