Win a Handmade Scarf from Spirited Shannon ~ Giveaway!

Spirited Shannon Giveaway

Hello everyone, I’m very excited to offer you a giveaway this Wednesday morning!  Shannon was actually a sponsor on City of Blackbirds in July, but I had all kinds of delays trying to get this post up and am finally getting around to it now.

Shannon is a crafter based in the Co Cork, Ireland.  She makes beautiful accessories like ruffled scarves and brooches and sells them through her Etsy shop Fotohead Creations.

Today Shannon is offering one of her Dark Teal Ruffle Muffler Scarves to a lucky City of Blackbirds reader.  All you have to do is leave a comment below, and be certain to include contact details in case you win!

The giveaway will stay open until Wednesday 31st August and I’ll announce the winner on the following Friday.

If you’d like to know a little more about Shannon you can check out her blog or even say hello on Twitter.

Good luck! x

I must say thank you to Katrina from Pugly Pixel for always being an inspiration when it comes to creating little graphic layouts for the blog.  My creations never look as awesome as hers, but she inspires me to try hard to make each one better than the last!
