Back in December, Emma of
Silver Pebble started a little blogging game called "Pass the Book"... a giveaway with a difference. The book in question is called "Time Remembered" and it is a gentle story of Miss Read's recollections of her school days back in the 1920s. Despite my days at primary school being at least forty years later there were many parts of the book that brought back memories. The idea is that the book gets passed from one blogger to another... along with one or two other little giveaway goodies. The first winner of the book was Carolyn from
Love Stitching Red and then she passed it on to Cathy of
One Pink Goose.
I was lucky enough to win the Pass the Book giveaway from Cathy. If you've not discovered Cathy's blog before do go and take a look. She is not only a talented artist and posts lots of lovely pictures of her own work, she also posts loads of inspirational pictures of the work of other artists.
Along with the book Cathy sent me a photograph and some of her gorgeous prints
As well as a whole stackful of her cards which really are beautiful. Those chickens are my favourites.
So if you would like to be the next recipient of "Time Remembered" leave me a comment by this time next week (Tuesday 18th May) and I will pick a winner. There will be a few other bits and bobs thrown in the parcel too... I'm just not sure what they will be yet!

The book sounds great, obviously though I would need to use my imagination to take me back in time.
Cathy's work looks lovely I'm off to check out her blog.
Beautiful work, just beautiful. Lucky you. The concept of passing the book on is a lovely one.

Hi Gina, not to be in the draw but good luck to the next winner of the pass the book giveaway. Glad you liked my little selection of goodies. I really enjoyed that book and passing it on.
I'd love to be in the draw. I saw the original blog post about the book - I would like to read it.

I saw this when Emma first posted it -- what a super fun idea!
yes please I fancy reading a Miss Read again - they always made me feel calm!
I've never read a MIss Read again - would love to be involved - and if I don't win, I'm off to the library to find some of her books!
Isn't this a lovely idea! I was a very lucky runner-up in Cathy's giveaway and have one of her beautiful pictures to treasure.
Oh yes! I'd love to be in on this.
That sounds fun, I'd love to join.
Oh what a lovely idea, I would love to be included in the draw.
I've been tracking this book from the start so would love to read Miss Read!
Just trying to catch up on all my blog reading so I probably shouldn't be entering a book reading giveaway should I? ;o)
I just love how Emma recovered the book - so attractive!
