Well, I've finally arrived here and this is my 100th blog post! I'm pretty sure I would have reached this monumental milestone a good deal earlier were it not for our website keeping us super-busy! So, in celebration of a 100 posts I am hosting a giveaway. Pictured in the photos is a pretty gift box and I have placed a very special Vintage Home treasure inside. Everybody who leaves a comment on this post will have their name entered into a draw to win it - whether you have a blog or not, and wherever you are in the world, I would love to hear from you.
The identity of the hidden treasure will remain a mystery until I announce the winner on my next post. I will say that it is something rather special and if any of you would like to have a go at guessing what it is, there will be an extra giveaway should someone get lucky with their guess!
I will draw the winner later next week - so until then 'Good Luck' to you all!
Update 25th November: Sorry that I haven't drawn the winning name yet! The draw will take place end of next week - it's been pretty hectic here over the past couple of weeks (all will be explained in my next post!) and so if you haven't yet left a comment then there's still time. Will see you all next week with the name of the winner... Clare

What a wonderful feeling.....your 100th post. Even better, being kept busy on your website, the best of both worlds.
The box looks so pretty and festive, and then the little candle on top....really pretty. Hmmm what could be inside???? A beautiful mouse pad? teacup? floral textile? Who ever the lucky winner is, they will be pleased.
Oh not only do I love vintage treasures but I love surprises! What fun. Congrats on 100 - my 100 blogaversary comes next month.
Even if I don't win I can't wait to know what is in the box. Who can resist the temptation from a beautiful box!
Ohooo what could be in the pretty box, Mmmmm now let me think,
You know it could be fresh delightful air, as anything that may come twinkling through my letterbox from you, would be a true treasure indeed :)
Well done on your 100 :)

Congratulations on 100 posts! The box is so beautiful on its own... and I haven't a clue what could be inside!

Great posts - all 100! Just what's needed in this rainy weather!
The package is just lovely, maybe there's a special vintage sweets tin inside, decorated with girly 1950's style images, but filled with freshly made toffees! Oh, and a few old buttons & beads to rattle around intriguingly..in my dreams! Cath x
Congratulations on you 100th Birthday!

Congratulations on your 100th blog entry! I was sent here by the lovely Alison May of Brocante Home and have been reading Vintage Home for a short while now. I've never commented before, but I suppose now is a good chance, what with a giveaway and all! :) As for the contents of that gorgeous box... is it a pretty embroidered tea towel?
I enjoy my visits to your blog.We had a short visit to England this spring and a peek at a few Cotswold villages.I loved them and hope to go back sometime.
Congratulations on your 100th post.

Happy 100th you dont look bad for an old biddy!!
Here's to many more posts on one of my favourite blogs..I'm afraid I would have to shake it and sniff it for at least five minutes before even attempting a guess so I have no idea whats in the pretty box!
It was great to talk to you the other day..I must have sounded like the equivalent of a rabbit caught in the headlights!!! (does that even make sense?!)I wonder if they found their kitchen in the end?
Cute Box! I would love to win just for the box.
Oh, Clare, I just found your blog and I absolutely love it! I love the pics of all the English cottages. I especially loved seeing the real ones while in England, Scotland and Wales a few years back and I'm looking forward to traveling your way again soon. Please include me in your giveaway -- I would love to win the surprise that's in the box!! Thanks so much, Joanne, NY, USA ~~ glamourgirljoanne@yahoo.com

Congrats Clare! How delightful- living with and selling vintage home beauty- ah the sheer pleasure of looking at beautiful things - it makes my heart sing! Must follow or bookmark your blog - found today via someone else's blog.
Your vintage fabrics are adorable as well as other things you showcase. I'd hope for a piece of vintage fabric with roses - pink, green, blue and cream in that gorgeous box.
Keep on posting beautiful words and pics!
Congratulations on #100! Thank you for all of your inspiration. Please enter me in the contest. Thank you.Teah
Hello Claire
