FLORA DOORA GIVEAWAY



It is attention to detail and the little things that bring so much beauty to our lives and our living spaces.

Unexpected, delightful, fanciful, beautiful, eye-catching... just some of the words I would use to describe this little hand made FLORA DOORA.




A Flora Doora is a darling plastic lined handmade bag with a little handle perfect for holding and hanging fresh flowers. Made by my friend Jane from FLORA DOORA, these little reasonably priced bags add warmth and interest and an unexpected flourish to any decor!

I have quite a few that I use to decorate door handles, chairs, bookshelves and many nooks and crannies in my home. I fill them with flowers, greens and twiggy things.

Baby the cat on the front porch~ The little line in the bottom right of the image is rain. We were having a sun shower!


I also keep several on hand to give as hostess gifts . Filled with flowers, homemade treats  or a little surprise, they are a delightful thank you to any hostess!

This darling flora doora "Margaux" is sewn from a piece of  french fabric Jane found in a brocante in Nannay, France. It is a true vintage treasure!



Jane is so graciously giving this sweet FLORA DOORA to one dear StoneGable reader. Thanks Jane! I know my readers will love these gracenotes as much as I do!

Just leave a comment! For an additional chance, visit FLORA DOORA and let me know what lovely bag you like.



The winner will be chosen  Sunday evening, August 21.


I am participating in WOW US WEDNESDAY at Savvy Southern  Style


~ Pink Saturday at How Sweet The Sound

    Oh I adore them all. They look SO English to me. My favorite on the site is The Prettiest Girl in Nannay. Her prices are SO resonable!

    My fingers are crossed. Did I happen to mention that my birthday is on the 20th? Wicked. :)

    Those bags are charming and oh so pretty. I couldn't decide whether Lyon or Home Sweet Home would be my favorite. What I really love though, are how beautiful your zinnias look in the bag. Take care.

I don't sew, but if I get lucky and win, I will be willing to bet that all of my crafty sisters-in-law will be looking at my Flora Doora to see if they can make some on their own. I like both Lauren and Home Sweet Home, but since I can only pick one, I think I will go with Home Sweet Home. Lillian Lane/jkklane@surewest.net

    That fabric is so so sweet and made into a charming bag is even sweeter and filled with those gorgeous zinnias makes it scrumptious! I didn't plant zinnias this year and miss them so. They were the flowers I could count on at the end of the summer when everything else is waning. I have some crocheted flower bags that I will be hanging from chairs, etc. for the wedding party. Hope it looks as charming as yours does. Have a wonderful day. ~

    I've never heard of a flora doora before and think they would make a very sweet gift that anyone would be thrilled to receive. The flowers are so pretty hanging from the back of your chair.

    I absolutely love these! What a great idea. So many times I want a bouquet, but no room on my table. These are perfect for so many uses. Love the fabrics. Especially the embroidery and laces.

    What a pretty little thing! I've never seen or heard of anything like this before - what a cool idea! I visited the site and instantly fell in love with the cream and brown toile - the Madeline. Thanks for another great inspiration. :0)

    I visited her Etsy shop and was shocked at her great prices. I still like the one in your drawing the best... but I also like the toile "Madeline" one in her shop!

    Oooo, the Margaux is so pretty. Obviously looks French country and would look great in my French country bedroom. It is my absolute favorite!

    All of the bags are sweet looking. I've never seen these before and think it is such a creative and clever idea! Definitely a great hostess gift, birthday gift, gift for a friend in the hospital, welcome to the neighborhood or a "just because" gift.

    Yvonne,

    Thank you for your beautiful site, I love to visit often. You are such an inspiration!!!

    Thanks also to Jane at Flora Doora. The lovely flower bag would be a perfect gift for a Wedding shower I'm giving later this year. Home Sweet Home is my favorite and Jane's blog is on my list of Favorites.

    I L.O.V.E. your blog. However, I find the word BLOG not a fitting word for such a beautiful destination. I come here often for inspiration, for peace, for a break from the stress of a very hectic time.

    To me, the word "BLOG" should be replaced with the word "OASIS".

    ~A pleasant or peaceful area or period in the midst of a difficult, troubled, or hectic place or situation~

    Thank you!
    I love the little flower sacks.

    We are celebrating my parents..70th wedding anniversary this coming weekend. (Yes, you read that right! 7-0...)

    This would be a sweet gift for my mother.

    Thank you for your consideration.

    Sincerely,

    Linda

    These (Flora Dora's) are so sweet ... every one of them. The pattern on your photo with your lovely flowers takes me back to my childhood! I remember learning to iron ... my Mom would give me the pillowcases to practice. The pattern in my head was the same as, or very, very similar to that pattern! Isn't it amazing what triggers cherished memories! Thank you, I enjoy your spot
