Giving away some Moomins

It's been on my mind since I wrote about the new Moomins in January and again a week ago: To share some of them with you guys! I wish I could send one of those new mugs to one of you, but I am just too afraid that it'll arrive in pieces, and that wouldn't be fun for you or me. So for a while I've been looking for those new Tove100-items (here's the link to a cool e-booklet of Tove Jansson's life in English) wishing to find something that I could safely send anywhere, and it finally hit me last week! 


A pretty pot coaster! It's by Finnish fabric company Finlayson, and it has cute Moomins on both sides. Who could cook without one, really? And to add some Mia-made Moomins too I used my endless craft-skills (sarcasm intended) and screwed a hook on one cute Moomin, added a metal rings and


A happy keyring was made! And while shopping some paint&silicone rubber (don't even ask) yesterday I simply couldn't resist choosing some cute stickers too:


And to complete the set I added five happy lollipops to children and/or child at heart (read: you), so this is the set waiting to be won:

Just leave a comment to this, today's post, and if you wish, you can share some thoughts of Moomins if you happen to have any, but leaving a comment with some sort of name/way to recognize you should you be the winner is enough. I will pick (randomly) one winner on Sunday, March 30th, and ship the happy Moomins-lot anywhere on the following day. Everyone's welcome to participate! Best of luck, all!

Happy Sunday!

Yours,
Mia

Mia,
Oh my how cute they are! That looks lile a fun set.

I have seen a lot of Moomin product but not lollipops. Those are so cute. Moomin make me smile and bring back memories from the childhood.

Happy Sunday night to you.

My nickname at school was Moomin... I think it was meant as a compliment :)

Ooooo Moomins I lurve Moomins I also love Finland too. I have my most prized possession a Moomintroll holding a Finnish flag phone charm ( bought in Stockmans in Tampere ) on my purse. I would be so over the Moomin (moon) to win this prize. Love reading your blog which brings me slightly closer to Suomi each time I read sitting in my Yorkshire home England. Kiitos

This time of the year...

Usually around this time, when children go back to school, and you can just about to smell the autumn, I start to dig deeper in my fabric...
