Well, now that I have returned and am completely unpacked it is time to get generous! You did not think I would come back empty handed did you? If so you thought wrong, I was keeping my eyes peeled for a fabulous giveaway much of my trip!
When I saw the new tea packaging at Harrods I knew I had to buy a box for you all! I looked at all the flavors and finally settled on the mango, YUM! I think it will make the perfect summer iced tea and you could even mix up a mango iced tea spritzer with Perrier! Everything about India is fabulous so boy did I have a HARD time picking something for you! I fell in love with so many items, but wanted to find something that would appeal to many and not just me. I knew Soma was the place to go (this is the Lilly meets Vera store) and after much debate mother helped me select the fabulous tabletop/tablecloth. It is smaller in size (39 inches by 39 inches) so it can be used as on overlay on a large table or also work on a side table. I love the colors, but the hand blocked pattern is what I find most stunning. It truly is one of a kind!The winner will receive BOTH foreign and fabulous items. To enter simply read a comment letting me know you are a regular reader. All comments must be left by 1pm EST on Friday, July 10th, 2009. So get typing, tell your friends and cross those fingers in hopes of winning these summer delights from afar!

I am a regular reader, and as much as I would love to win the give-away, I was hoping you would give us an update on your cousin, Henry. I think about that situation, and have been wondering how he, and his family are doing.

I have really enjoyed reading your India adventure. I had heard some not so good things about India so it was neat to hear how wonderful it could be if experienced the right way. Will be putting India back on my "must see" places. Love that you finally got to get your Jackie/shift/elephant pic!
Hopsy,
I have enjoyed reading about your exciting trip to India! I love the table cloth that you are so generously giving away. I wish they had an online store. :) It's fun to hear what you are up to and, of course, Lilly!
Take care,
Julie
So exciting! I started reading your blog about a month ago, and have loved following your trip abroad. I especially love the fact that you update your blog daily! Always something fun to look forward to. And btw, I love your Hunter fuschia rain boots, and will have to buy some for myself soon. Thanks for sharing!!
you are too sweet! i'd love to win!

What a wonderful and generous giveaway! I am definitely a regular reader - I have finally started reading Lady of Milkweed Manor. I am about halfway through and I love it! It's a great story but all the historical information about childbirth/midwives in that period is truly fascinating. Thanks for such a great recommendation.
I love your blog Hopsy! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Count me in!! I am a regular reader!!

Yay! What an amazing giveaway! I am hesitant to be the first comment, but maybe the early bird really does get the worm. :) I am so glad you had such a fabulous trip.

Beautiful stuff! I am a regular reader, you have a wonderful blog!
Loved reading about your trip!
Hi -- I came across your blog a few months ago and have been additcted ever since. We both have a love for Lilly in common and pink and green of course. I did not send in a note to win the McKims or the decorative star you had over the past months but I saw the darling table cloth and couldn't resist. Since stumbling upon your blog I do check the site daily. Cheers! ~ ALS (my monogram at least for 2 more months when I get married!)
I recently came upon your blog and just adore it! I check it every day and have fallen in love with KEP jewelry because of you!
What can I say? I am a total M&M addict now. Have to get my fix. Loved yout posts from India.
Hopsy:
I am a regular reader, subscriber, have you bookmarked and in my newsfeed...if there was anything more I could do, to make sure I do not miss a post, I would!
First of all I adore tea, adore Harrods and love mango...so what could be better than a box of said in the new packaging!
I have lived vicariously in India though a former boss and through a current missionary friend and love the fabulous textiles they constantly display in their homes!
I love Lilly and Vera so when you blogged about Soma I was envious! I love to entertain so the fabulous tabletop/tablecloth you brought back would be a treasure to me if I won it!
My fingers AND toes are crossed in hopes of winning these summer delights from afar! I would be so blessed and SO LUCKY!
I know whoever wins will be thrilled that you were so thoughtful to think of your readers while on your trip to India! Thank you for your generosity and thank you for your blog…it is a gift in and of itself!

This time I am leaving a comment for sure. I often stop by, but rarely leave a comment. This summer we have been trying out many flavors of ice tea. Our current favorite is peach ice tea. Can't wait to try the mango. I love the colors of the table cloth. Thank you for hosting such a sweet giveaway.
I love your blog and read all the time! I tell all my friends about it! I already commented, but for some reason my comment isn't showing up. :(
LOVE THE BLOG! :)
And I'd love a bit of India in my dining room too!
