Today is the second anniversary of the creation of Gudrun’s Tights! I remember sitting down two years ago and thinking how fun writing this new blog would be, but also had serious doubts as to whether anyone would read it. Well, I still think it is fun (despite occasional lapses), and there are people who read it – and that always amazes me! Thank you for reading and for visiting my little space on the big wide web. I’ve so enjoyed getting to know all of you and cherish every comment. My life really wouldn’t be the same without this blog and the people I’ve met through writing it.
I’m giving away two books by two of my favorite authors for GT’s birthday- Crampton Hodnet by Barbara Pym and This Rough Magic by Mary Stewart. Please go to this link to enter the drawing and indicate whether you’d like only one of the titles if you win or both (I know some people might already have copies of these). The giveaway is open internationally and closes at 11:59 pm, Pacific Standard Time, on Thursday, May 2. The winner will be announced on Friday, May 3.
Thanks for visiting today – have a great weekend!

Charlie, I did have a blog with some cousins (that only we read) that I started in 2005 – so I guess I have been blogging for a while. I do feel like I’ve been around forever!
