My names Rob and I’m e-mailing on behalf of Dorset Cereals based in Dorchester. I really enjoyed reading your site and am pleased to see that you are also a fan of arts, crafts and all things colourful. I wanted to touch base and mention that we at Dorset Cereals are giving away a super new vintage style VW Camper Van in an online competition, which could offer you or your readers a bit of motoring fun whilst captivating that vintage, retro twist which you are so enthused with!! I thought this exciting competition may be of interest to your blog readers and was wondering whether you would be interested in showing the competition link on your site (draw takes place on 2nd June – so not long to go!). If not then please don’t worry.<br />If you wish to know more or would like to link up with us in any other way, please feel free to contact me at; robward@dorsetcereals.co.uk Otherwise there is information displayed about the prize draw on our website. <br />I have to admit, I think your fabrics would look good in the Camper, although I’m not sure where you find the space to store it all!!<br />Hope to hear from you soon,<br />RobRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06915478489593561094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14602063.post-27795430214809646412010-05-20T13:07:56.511+00:002010-05-20T13:07:56.511+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06915478489593561094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14602063.post-42013041690722789362010-05-06T19:44:46.088+00:002010-05-06T19:44:46.088+00:00Hi Donna!
