GOLDENHEARTEDROSE’S GIVEAWAY OF RANDOMNESS!

I recently hit 1300 followers, which to me is truly astonishing and amazing and I am so grateful to all of you! I’ve wanted to do a giveaway for awhile now, so here it is.

Included in the giveaway are the following:

Short dropstitch scarf knitted by me
The Complete Sherlock Holmes (Barnes and Noble edition; the one pictured is mine, but you will get your own brand spanking new copy)
Eight fandom tea samples all created by the lovely Cara McGee (Reichenbach Reunion, Reichenbach Recovery, Clara Oswin Oswald, River Song, Martha Jones, Amy Pond, The Woman, and Lestrade).
Seven “blooming teas” (Peach, Honey Grapefruit, and Jasmine).
One Wuyi Ensemble sample from Adagio Teas.
Eight buttons from 221B Con
One keychain attachment, drawn by Cara McGee
One box of Twining’s Lady Grey Tea.

Not pictured, but also included: One $10 gift certificate from Adagio Tea and one copy of “Loud Hands: Autistic People Speaking” (the latter in either Kindle or print - it’s up to you!)

THE RULES:

You do not have to be following me.
You may reblog up to five times.
You must live in a place where tea can be shipped, so if you live in Australia, we’ll have to work something else out (sorry, folks!)
You must provide an address if you are chosen as the winner.
Winner must have their askbox open and must respond within 48 hours of notification of winning.
Giveaway runs until 9pm EST on June 22, 2013.

If I win, please give the book to someone else! I already have that copy! :)

So it was just announced at Wondercon that Kelly Sue DeConnick will be writing a new ongoing Captain Marvel (formerly Ms. Marvel) series, with Dexter Soy on interiors and Ed McGuinness on covers. I had the privilege of designing Carol’s new costume. Our idea was to give her a kind of swash-buckling costume that invoked a sense of her history as an Air Force officer. Her hair is slicked back at the sides when in costume - so her Kree-style helmet can form when she needs it.

Can’t wait for the series to launch! I love Carol Danvers, and Kelly Sue is one of my favourite writers. More details here.

Ahh cool, Lewis will be happy, he loves Carol.

I really like this costume okay.

OH MY GOD IT IS A FEMALE SUPERHERO COSTUME THAT IS AWESOME AND PRACTICAL AND BADASS AND DOESN’T HAVE HUGE HOLES CUT OUT OF IT

WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO

AND CAN WE KEEP HEADING THAT WAY

I want to learn more about Eastern European art. It’s one of the many things I didn’t know I liked until Tumblr.

So the Dirndl and Lederhosen need no introduction, but it should come as no surprise that the different regions in Germany each have their own traditional costumes. Here are some of them!

Glottertal region (in Baden-Württemberg, near the Black Forest)

Schwenningen region (in Baden-Württemberg, near the Black Forest)

Ochsenfurt region (in Bavaria, along the Main river)

Spreewald region (in Brandenburg, near Berlin)

Schwalmstadt region (in Hessen, along the Schwalm river)

Gutachtal (in Baden-Württemberg, near the Black Forest)
