{Giveaway: Country Living Magazine Christmas Fair, Glasgow SECC}

***The competition has now ended and the three lucky winners have been emailed. Please check in case I've gone into your spam folder! If you can send me your address and I will post out the tickets asap***

Is anyone else uber excited about Christmas? I just love the build up to the festive season!!

Next month, on 21st - 24th November, the Country Living Magazine Christmas Fair returns to Glasgow's SECC. If you haven't been before, then I totally recommend it. I go each year and love it!



And guess what, I've got three pairs of tickets for my lovely readers to win. All you need to do is follow the simple Rafflecopter below and leave a comment :-)

If that's not enough, if you don't win, I've managed to wangle a 10% discount off tickets when booking online. You just need to use the code CLG133.


There are numerous stalls at the fair each with beautiful and unique gifts. On top of that, there's also all the seasonal decorating ideas - garlands, baubles, glassware, candles... right up my street!

New this year is the DFS Lifestyle Theatre which will offer expert advice on how to make the most of your home, garden and more over the Christmas period. 
"Author and home-maker Cherry Menlove will share a wealth of ideas for individual table settings for festive dining – from country chic to candles and glass – she’ll inspire every home, taste and budget.  Scotland’s festive front doors will never be the same again after Cherry demonstrates her magical techniques for creating the iconic Christmas wreath using unusual materials and methods and brand-new Christmas colour palettes.
Meanwhile, home-craft expert and writer Karon Grieve will demonstrate how to make all-natural simmer pots and pot pourri to keep your home smelling fabulous throughout Christmas and beyond without breaking the bank.  The BBC Radio Scotland regular will also show how to create home-made goodies for that perfect Christmas hamper.  
No Christmas gift-giver should miss the gift-wrapping demonstrations from expert Jane Means.  Packed with tips on how to tackle awkward shapes and make your gifts look stunning on a tight budget, her classes are a festive essential."
I had hoped to get along to the Jane Means gift wrapping course at One Devonshire Gardens last year but didn't make it, so I'm looking forward to seeing her at the fair to pick up some gift wrapping tips!

The giveaway will finish on Fri 15th November allowing me time to get the tickets posted out to the lucky winners.
UK residents only please, and there is no alternative prize. Thanks, and good luck!

I'd love to pick up some decorations for my flat - as much as I'm quite nervous about having 20 people over for Christmas dinner, I'm really looking forward to putting up the tree and putting up the decorations - roll on December!!
