Today I will announce the winners of the November Give Away, but first I'd like to share the story behind the question, What did the man who came into my Feast tent have a license to ride?
You may remember that I had mentioned a couple of times on the blog that I had a very unusual block print, one with elephants on it. (A motif that was popular during the 18th century due to blossoming trade with India.)
It's an unusual, hard to find block print, and I was excited to find it, quickly turning it into a shirt to take to the Feast.
The shirt was hanging on the rack when the man and his friend came into the tent. They walked around looking at my wares and then spied the elephant shirt and the laughter began. I wasn't sure what they found so humorous until the friend said, "Too bad you don't have a license to ride those, too."
Turns out the man was licensed to ride camels. And when I said I'd never heard of that before, he pulled out his wallet and opened it, handing it over to me to look at.
The man let me take a picture of it and gave me permission to share that photo here, even with the wording on it. "Who will be able to read the number?" he asked when I said I'd black that out. And so you get to see a camel riding license in its entirety.
We could not talk longer as I had other customers come in, and another gentleman bought the elephant shirt later that day.
Fast forward to a few weeks after the Feast and Leslie invited me up to her farm to shop the new block prints that had just arrived.
And look what I found.
One with a camel border!
And not just camels, but smaller elephants above them! Oh, how I wish I had that man's contact information - I think I would make him a trade shirt from this block print for free!
So, that's the story behind this month's question And someone did guess correctly that the answer was "camel."
Now it's time to spin to win.
And the winner is...!
And the winner of the second spin is...!
Congratulations to you both!
