This is a little competition for the members of my mailing list who have read the first two books in the Pitfourie series. If you would like to take part and you're not already a member, you can join by sending me a message on the Contact page (remember to include your email address). You can unsubscribe at any time.
The House of Pitfourie contains many interesting antiques, some of which are inspired by things I own. In a (probably vain) effort to declutter, I am offering some of these as prizes in the competition. (Don't get too excited...) See below for details. One lucky winner will receive a pair of cups and saucers, and another a little pickle dish. The winning entries will be chosen entirely according to my own, possibly illogical criteria! I will post the winners' names (just first name and country) on the website. I will contact winners by email and arrange to have their prize sent to them (I will post worldwide).
Closing date for entries is 15 August 2022.
Similar competitions will appear here from time to time.
Good luck!

Prize One

In the second book in the series, The Time and the Place, Hector and Claire have the following conversation.
He smiled, setting the tray down on a big ottoman by the fireplace. ‘I always think tea tastes better out of a proper cup.’ They were lovely pearly-white antique cups and saucers, sprigged with tiny forget-me-nots. ‘And the saucer, of course, accommodates a dunker. You probably don’t indulge in anything as unhealthy as a Hobnob?’ ‘Oh, what the hell. I’ll live dangerously.’ The cups and saucers that these are based on are a matching Georgian coffee cup and teacup with their saucers, dating from about 1810 to 1820. For a chance to win them, just send me a message using the form on the Contact page telling me, in not more than a couple of sentences, who is your favourite character in the Pitfourie series and why. |

Prize Two

Again in The Time and the Place, Damian tells Claire:
‘If you asked Hector to name the objects on that table –’ He gestured to the table between the windows, on which the marble bust sat along with a glass vase, a blue and white ceramic dish in the shape of a leaf, and a little china bird – ‘he might get the bust of Aristotle, but that’s it. The knick-knacks aren’t really on his radar.’ This little Georgian pickle dish is what I was thinking of here. For a chance to win it, again send me a message using the Contact page form, this time telling me where your favourite place in Pitfourie is, and why. |
