Connections make us comfy...

Thanks to all you lovely people who shared the things that keep you warm and bring you daily comfort in our giveaway conversation. It was interesting to see how similar themes appeared:

• hot drinks - these featured frequently, simple pleasures that many of us savour and appreciate for their physical warmth and flavour as well as the moment's pause they allow us to take, whether alone or in the company of someone we love  
  
• favourite garments - wrap us in warmth and colour and comfort, and many have already discovered the wonders of pashmina-love and understand my passion for them
  
• the companionship of animals - whether beloved pets or those we simply encounter in our environment, we recognise how this special cross-species link enriches our lives
  
• a connection with other hearts & minds - either with those who are closest to us or with the strangers we meet in this amazing blogosphere, who we relate to, connect with, and who in some cases become our friends. I have an image of small individual flames that combine to become a community of light and beauty. I feel privileged to be a part of that connection. Thank you.

And so to the giveaway... Once again, I wish I could wrap each of you up in a beautiful pashmina but as it can't be, I made a list of people in the order that they commented (discounting those who chose not to be included for various reasons), rolled the electronic dice, and this is what they gave me:

Number 11 is sweet Heather of Paper Follies.  

Heather is not yet a pashmina wearer but, as she rightly said, it's never too late to change. I hope you'll find this a happy change Heather and I'm so delighted and excited about going to choose your very first. I'll be in touch via e-mail to get your postal details and look forward to parcelling up and posting off a bit of pashmina loveliness to you soon...
