Five to Nine Dress
Happy Holidays to all my readers.
I was recently contacted by Shabby Apple – this incredible clothing boutique – to give one of my readers one of their dresses! I couldn’t think of a better Christmas gift to one of my faithful readers who have traveled this journey with me. I went through the boutique’s list and picked three of my favorite dresses. Whomever wins will be able to pick their favorite of the three!
Also, they are offering free shipping for the holidays. Enter HOLIDAY at checkout. (You can follow their blog here).
The three dresses I picked are below. Click on the photo to see different views of the dresses.

Good luck!
Lahloo Chai Tea Winners:
1. Claire Hoeckel. Being newly engaged is a pretty unbeatable reason to get some tea!
2. Kat. At Lahloo Tea, they understand what it means to want a hot cuppa tea on a soggy English day all too well. They want to help.
3. EOshea. They do more than just handle my SAG checks and mail. They also gave me a car, a laptop, many bottles of wine, a trip to France and well, I owe them something in return. Lahloo tea understands that a cup of tea is the least I can do for my Godparents of the west coast.
4. Jenny. Any time someone is converted to tea, they deserve to know what the difference between a nice cup of loose leaf tea and the bags you buy at the grocery store is.
5. Judy. My mother, and a gorgeous woman. Lahloo tea understood I couldn’t say no to my mother.
But not to worry for the others, because we are not finished! Everyone is a winner here!
Lahloo Earl Grey Sample Winners:
1. Hanna. I know you would like to pass on your winnings to someone else, so you can email me to let me know who! (and if you wish to keep it for yourself, that’s OK too!)
2. SmittenbyBritain. When someone is addicted to something, especially tea, Lahloo is here to enable!
3. UniquelyTea. Santa would love those scones and tea! He told me!
4. Tea. Sharing is something Lahloo recognizes and would like to reward!
You can either email me at lady[@]ladywholunches.net or I will email you later today to get your address.
Congrats to everyone.
Thanksgiving was such a blast that we stayed awake until 4AM! Dinner went as planned. Pictures tomorrow (although not as many were taken as I’d hoped).
Winners for Lahloo Tea Giveaway announced tomorrow. Apologies for the delay. London town took over, as it tends to!
In the meantime, enjoy my newest favorite TV show on BBC 2 called Miranda
I was sitting here thinking about what to get my family for Christmas, and as much as I would love to be able to help my family in the states add to their collection of lawn ornaments by mailing a big red English Phone booth back to them…somehow, I just don’t think it’s logical.
Plus, I have fallen in love with this amazing loose leaf tea company called Lahloo Tea, and tea is much cheaper to mail. So, I wrote to the owner, Kate Gover, asking if I could pretty please do a giveaway of my favorite tea, and she agreed! I get to giveaway ten freebies!
I decided to pick her Chai blend for the Christmas memories it brings me, the big full flavors and for the amazing scent it evokes. I would love my house to smell like it!
It is her own concoction of fresh tea leaf ingredients, and is absolutely filled with Christmas wintery deliciousness. Usually when I taste Chai, the taste is left a bit bland from the cheap ingredients, but this combination uses only the best.
Here is how it is described: Rich, chocolaty Ceylon blended with whole green cardamom, star anise, cloves, bay leaves and ginger pieces. Yum!
The twisted, Ceylon tea leaves with a rich chocolaty, malty aroma and fruity taste are grown naturally on the Kenilworth tea estate in Dimbula. We have blended this fabulous, warming black tea with whole chunks of Marsala spices to evoke the spicy yet sweet chai tea that is enjoyed across India.
How to enjoy, the traditional way:
Use approximately 1 tsp per cup; add milk and simmer for 3 minutes. Strain into a cup and, using a cinnamon quill, stir in a little honey!
HOW TO WIN A PACK OF LAHLOO’S CHAI TEA:
All you have to do is complete this sentence in the comment section below: “I would like to receive some tea this Christmas because….”
Five of the most creative answers will be picked by three judges the day after Thanksgiving. That gives you one week to think of why you would like tea for Christmas! (Family members are not excluded nor given priority!)
Plus, five runners up will get a sample of their aromatic Earl Grey!
Once you are picked, I will email for delivery address.
