Blogging has been so much fun and I appreciate all the comments and reader emails. As you know, I'm a huge fan of the very talented Fiona Richards of Cartolina Cards and would love to share a complete set of her recent notebooks - 9 in all! - with a lucky reader of this blog. Just leave a comment by Saturday morning, 9 am e.s.t. If you don't have a google account and can't leave a comment - feel free to email me at mynottinghill (at) gmail.com with Cartolina in your subject header.
These notebooks are also available online at Greet Q - and at $4 a piece they make the perfect treat for yourself or someone else.
Also, Fiona has the most lovely blog full of visual treats and interesting things that are really unique - check it out at Cafe Cartolina.
Here is one of my favorite notebooks spread out on Michael S. Smith's book without its cover.I love the colors contrasted here! I carry this notebook around with me and make notes and drawings in it too.

Tomorrow I'm headed off to the Philadelphia Flower Show with a friend. I've never been and am quite excited - especially since Spring here in D.C. seems to be on temporary hold. Here' s the view out my family room window. I was bad - never brought the umbrella in for the winter! The snow is covering our pool cover - can't wait till that is gone and we can get out there and enjoy the backyard..jpg)
My kids, however, had a great time building this the other day!.jpg)

I love those notebooks. They would be great for doing my "morning pages" (from Julia Cameron's books) or a list of story ideas. Thanks for offering these to a lucky reader. I enjoy your blog all the time. Thank you!
I love those notebooks, but I love your kids' snow fort even better. Too cute!

Sweet notebooks that remind me of a summer day! Just right for jotting thoughts and lists.
We have plenty of snow here- I suspect I could build a great igloo or a super tunnel-in which to hide until spring.....
Enjoy the show and the snow. The notebooks are lovely too. Smiles, LC
What a great giveaway! I love reading your blog. I find myself checking in everyday.

How lovely! What a nice treat for one of your lucky readers.
Brrr, it looks over your way!
Those notebooks are so great! They remind me of these vintage fabrics I found in my grandmother's linen closet. Plus they are just colorful enough to make taking notes a little more pleasant!
Would love to be included in the notebook give-a-way. Love those notebooks! Came across your blog on Cafe Cartolina's blog and now find myself checking in daily. Really enjoy your blog. Thanks!
Oh, how positively pretty these notebooks are. If I won, you know I would give it a good home to many a note and a pve sketch! Love them and your snow garden looks lovely.

Love the notebooks! They're a "flower show" all by themselves, aren't they? Really enjoy your blog too. Thanks!
Those are gorgeous. I would love to win one. I love anything with a botanical print.
A set of Cartolina notebooks would indeed be like hitting the motherlode. Divine. Have a lovely time in Philly -- I'd love to see the flower show this year.
Fiona's notebooks are just wonderful--love 'em! :)
Oh my. Those notebooks are so gorgeous. Beautiful covers. Thank you for sharing them in this giveaway. :-)
I've had Cartolina notebook envy for a while, thanks for having the contest!
Hooray, I'm throwing my name in.
Yes, just like everybody else, I think that these notebooks are quite stunning - I don't think we have the full range here in Australia (or not that I've come across), and to see them here in all their glory is wonderful! Enjoy the Philadelphia Flower Show. Lee :)

The notebooks remind me of vintage barkcloth, a favorite of mine. Since my sister-in-law and I have such similar taste I know she would love them too. I confess if I receive them--I'm definitely sharing a few of them with her!
I love this website and I love Cartolina! The combination is enough to make me weak in the knees.
hop on over for a fab friday giveaway today!

because of this wonderful giveaway, i discovered your great blog!
Lovely designs in sumptuous colour palettes. Every design is equally beautiful, making it hard to choose a favourite!
I have been following Fiona's work for months and these notebooks are by far my favorite! So unique but also practical! I try to carry a sketchbook with me everywhere for doodles and notetaking- wouldn't one of these be perfect!?!?
These are beautiful. If it makes you feel better I never brought our umbrella in either, oops!
such cute notebooks!!!!
de kids snow fort s even more cute too!! ha ha !!
Those notebooks really are lovely. Thank you for the giveaway!
forts - how i loved building them - mine were never r quite as good as this igloo -
Beautiful notebooks! artistic as well as useful...I like that.
Your kids perhaps are budding architects themselves! Magical snow house!!
I love her notebooks! If I win these, I won't have to go to Anthropologie to get them! Thank you :)
