Sea and Salt Giveaway

Dear Friends, This giveaway has CLOSED. Thank you to all who entered and congratulations to our winner Sarah Raaen, who just so happens to have a lovely blog worth checking out at Love Love Lady. Stay tuned for more giveaways, they'll be popping up regularly!

Love Bella xx



So here it is! Our first ever giveaway open to everyone, everywhere! It doesn't matter if you're in America, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, Switzerland, Germany, South Korea, China or Australia. As long as you have have an address and Australia has a postal service to your country, you can enter!

This is a 'Thank You' to everybody online who has shown their support for our little blog. We've kept the theme of the giveaway a seaside one with some of the colours reflecting the sea and her shores. Teal green, aqua, grey, the sandy colours of the beechwood spoon and the bamboo serving board and the beach towel style stripes in the apron.


1. White ceramic owl for storing your beloved kitchen utensils. This sweet little bench top friend will proudly store your wooden spoon and whisk (as pictured). I love his feather detail!

2. Bamboo serving board. Perfect as a small cheese platter, made from highly compressed bamboo, environmentally friendly and measuring 26cm x 15 cm.

3. 100 percent cotton apron, measuring 60.5cm x 82 cm. This soft cotton apron features gorgeous horizontal stripes in warm red, white and camel, an adjustable neck strap and handy front pocket.

4. Natural Goats Milk Soap by Tilley Australia. A goats milk soap crafted using vegetable oils, and no harsh ingredients making it a moisturising soap that is gentle on the skin.

5. Large teal green soup mug. This enormous mug is dishwasher safe and suitable to be served with your favourite soup. I would recommend a hot, thick pumpkin soup with a side plate of chunky bread, grilled and drizzled with olive oil.

6. Pumpkin Maple Tart soy wax lantern candle, measuring 8.5cm diameter x 10.2cm high. This sweetly scented candle will have you thinking a gorgeous pumpkin and maple tart is baking in your home. Best lit during a rainy afternoon when you have guests over for hot tea and a game of Scrabble. Burning time approximately 48 hours.

7. 12 cup silicone Bellini mini muffin pan. This clever non-stick silicone muffin pan is ideal for baking as it is stain resistant and can be used in the oven, microwave and freezer. It is dishwasher safe, will not absorb odours or flavours and has been developed for durability and longevity. I have selected a two tone aqua and grey muffin pan for your kitchen, to remind you of the sea (and of course Sea and Salt!). Suitable for temperatures up to 230 degrees Celsius (approximately 440 degrees Fahrenheit), this muffin pan measures 24cm x 18cm and is flexible to allow you to easily remove your muffins, or our mini quiches.

8. 27cm stainless steel balloon whisk. This whisk is ideal for incorporating air into egg whites or cream, and mixing dry ingredients, such as the flours, salt and xanthan gum in our previous post, the Apple Plum and Nectarine Galette. Dishwasher safe and oh so easy to clean!

9. Beech wooden spoon. Perfect for plunging into a pot of butterscotch sauce to test the flavour. Yummmmm....

1/52






"A portrait of my family, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Maxi: His luxuriously soft fur and trademark black goatee are two of my favourite features. Here he waits to see if Byron will open the iron gate so he can make a speedy escape

Coco: Tomorrow marks one month since we first laid our eager eyes upon her quizzical frown after much discussion on whether we should adopt a puppy. Here she waits for Maxi to make his dash out the gate, watching intently with her floppy left ear that she is unable to extend. That gorgeous frown and her floppy left ear, two of my favourite features.

Byron: A momentary glance downwards to decide on the placement of his feet as he made his way carefully along the grassy headland during our morning stroll through the national park.

Bella (and Coco): Byron took this picture of an unsuspecting me as I walked with the puppy along a grassy hill, interspersed with white and orange rocks and overlooking a gorgeous blue jewelled sea.

I'm feeling inspired. Today was a beautiful day and as I gratefully sit here, cross-legged on my bed with a small hand-painted Turkish bowl containing the last of my modest handful of fresh blueberries, I am proud of myself for beginning one of my projects for 2013. I've started sewing my very first patchwork quilt for Byron. It only took me twenty odd years to get around to making the templates and rolling my razor sharp blade through pieces of nautical-themed fabric. Anchors, life buoys, ships with white sails.

Oh how I love the sea...
