I so appreciate your visiting my blog, writing such nice words, and all of your encouragement. It means so much to me and having a give away is just a little way to say thank you. So it is really wonderful to tell you that I have such a delightful prize in store for the winner of this one! A friend of mine, Apol, the incredible talent behind the Etsy shop, La Pomme, has offered the prize for this give away!
Actually she is so sweet, you get to pick from two beautiful handmade items. This give away is her way of celebrating the launch of her autum-winter collection. The Joy Pears are half hand sewn and are hand stamped.
As you can see Apol has a lovely touch with such nice details, like the real licorice roots she uses on her fruits,
and the fabric bags she wraps them in are made from recycled old blankets are also hand stamped with "Joy."
These are Apol's Personalized White Plush Apples. If the winner selects this as the prize then she/he may have the names of their choice hand stamped on the apples.
So, to enter my give away please leave a comment to this post. (We would love to hear what your favorite fruit is and why). The give away will close on Tuesday, September 21 and I will select a winner shortly after.
The winner of this give away will get to pick, either the Personalized White Plush Apples or the Joy Pears.
If you would like to help me spread the word about this give away I would be most grateful!
*The give away is now closed. Thanks so much for all of your delightful comments. A winner will be picked shortly.*

Lapomme (Apol) makes things that you will love and keep forever. And every time, it brings a smile. Definitely the little thing of beauty that brings joy for ever.
Aesthetically, I always thought these were the graceful fruits: apples, pears and strawberries.

How very lovely!!! My favorite fruit is the strawberry, because of the flavor and versatility.

I love the joy pears but my favorite fruit would be apples. Hot apple cider on a cold day. Then there is apple sauce, apple crisp, apple chips...

Oh, those are adorable!
Grapefruit is my favorite. Sprinkled with a little sugar and cut into sections...delicious!

Nothing beats fresh plums for me! Can't get enough of them, and blueberries too.
Thanks

I'm an OAS (Oral Allergy Syndrome) sufferer and I just started to see symptom relief on my birch allergy - which makes me, for the first time in my entire life, able to eat peaches, pears, plums, cherries, kiwi, mango... oh, the list goes on - so right now, pretty much everything is my favorite fruit but, if I had to pick one, i'd say it has to be the cherry - sweet, sour, yellow, white, red, you name it - i'm smitten.

Apples are my favourite fruit, they can be used in so many ways and a good fruit to travel with unlike the unyieldy pomegranate for example. it'salso a good fruit to complain about...'oh it's so bruised...yuk it's fluffy, or sour!' you can also print pretty stars from cut up apples....
Thanks for leaving a sweet comment on my blog, I'll be following yours from now on!

Oh my, I NEED those apples with my 3 kids names on them because they are "the apple of my eye"! ;-)
My favorite fruit would definitely have to be a sweet orange because they are so juicy. Love 'em!
Thanks for the lovely giveaway! Have a very BLESSED Day!

I love those apples! Too cute! My favorite fruit is cherries. They are just so sweet, and where I live, it's hard to find really great quality cherries, so when you do, it's a special treat!
Posted by: Randi | September 20, 2010 at 06:57 PM
My favorite fruit is the peach. They smell so good and taste delicious, plus they're fuzzy on the outside!

Posted by: anna | September 21, 2010 at 01:18 AM
I love the joy pears... but I'm quite taken with the idea of personalised apples! (Sad but I'd probably go for mine and the OH's names... plus an 'and'!)
Favourite fruit of the moment is grapefruit... it reminds me of staying in hotels for some reason!

These are darling!
And I cannot get enough of berries... fresh, stewed, with cream, sugar, custard...om nom nom nom. The strawberry comes out on top - firm, juicy, shiny and red - delish and aesthetically pleasing to boot. All hail the strawberry!

My favourite fruit is raspberries...My autumn golden and red raspberries are in full swing in my garden. These pears and apples are beautiful too!
Posted by: Millie | September 21, 2010 at 06:23 PM
I have to say that my favourite fruit is the strawberry, but it has to be British...there is something more scrummy about British strawberries....especially when you make delicious jam from them, and fresh scones....yummy yummy yummy....such a joy...just like the lovely pears...fabulous simple yet perfect x
Posted by: danni Clarke | September 21, 2010 at 09:17 PM
