Hello loves,
It's giveaway time once again here at the Tea Talk blog and we are SO SO excited for this one! The prizes are darling, and all very near to our hearts.
Here is what we are giving away:
This lovely apron that was made by John Scott. It is made out of a lovely flowery print that includes darling birds throughout. It also has a medium size pocket, and a pen pocket on the front.
Here I am modeling it:
Also, the hand-written, by our very own John Scott, framed piece is up for grabs! It contains a quote from the famous book The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. It states, "I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart. I am. I am. I am. -Sylvia Plath".
And lastly, the lovely embroidery piece, handmade by myself, contains a partial quote that goes along with the Plath theme.
In order to enter you must A. be a follower (will verify), and B. must leave a comment stating who you favorite author is and/or favorite book (reasons why would be fun!), along with your name and email address. To get one extra entry you can tweet about our giveaway and leave a separate comment with a link to the tweet you made.
The winner will be drawn a week from today on Wednesday January 13th.
Good luck to everyone!
Love,
Chelsea and John Scott!

I love that you both work together on your giveaways! It's so sweet! And what awesome prizes! I am a follower of course.
I don't read much but I'd have to say that The Bell Jar was a favorite of mine as well. As soon as I finished it I rented the Sylvia movie. She lived an interesting life!

My favorite book is "The Sookie Stackhouse Series". I love the author, Charlaine Harris' characters, the humor is dry and sarcastic and my imagination just ignites! LOVE IT!

Hii! AMAZING giveaway! My favorite book of all time is Wasteland by Francesca Lia Block. It's wonderfully depressing and twisted.
You guys are absolutely adorable! I thought I should tell you in case you didn't know already. :-)
What cute things! I love Sylvia Plath!
This one is kind of hard, but I must say that my favorite author is Chuck Palahniuk--I pretty much love every book he's written up to this point (I only haven't read one). My favorite of his is Invisible Monsters.
His characters are amazingly creepy and terrible most of the time. His descriptions are disgustingly dead on and he makes me think. I love his mind!
Of course I'm a follower!

I am a follower! I can't say I have a favorite author.
I go through phases of different literature I like. I think my most consistan fav is Jonathan Safran Foer he wrote Everything is Illuminated and Everything Loud & Incredibly Close.
His book Everything is Illuminated was good enough to be made into a movie and adorable Elijah Wood was in it who couldn't love that?
I also really liked it because it's set in the Ukraine which is where some of my heritage is from.

annnnyway my favorite book:
tales of ordinary madness by charles bukowski. i know it's just a collection of his poems and short stories but i loveeeee them. as gross as he was (just a generally disgusting old, drunken man), his writing is amazing to me.

Cuuuute!
I have too many favorite books, but I can narrow down my authors to two: Bill Bryson and Ken Follett. Bryson writes non-fiction and is HILARIOUS! Makes me laugh out loud. Follett writes historical fiction and I can't put down his books once I've started. His plots are too good and I never know what'll be next!

Hmm... FAVORITE book? That's really tough. I fall in love with every book I read. Today I will say "Olive Kitteridge" by Elizabeth Strout. Tells the Story of Olive accidentally through the stories of others around her. Every charactar is rich and studied, you sense a past and future apart from the moment told.
my favorite book is blue like jazz :)

My favorite author is Alice Sebold. Her openness to her life that is reflected in her books are refreshing and opens the voyarism in me.

Hi, I just found your blog through Biscuit and I am now a follower. I love any pre-teen novel, the reason being is that I write pre-teen books myself and I have to keep up with the competition. If I need a break from pre-teen madness then I would choose any biography.

I would have to say that Dr. Seuss is my fav author. His books not only touch little ones, but I still remember them from my childhood. Such meaningful messages in such simple writing.

LOVELY giveaway!
Just tweeted it! :]
What wonderful prizes!! I was just thinking yesterday that I would love to learn how to embroider!! After seeing your cute creation, I am for sure going to learn!!!
My favorite book is Pride and Prejudice...I remember how much I enjoyed reading it for the first time and have felt a connection with it ever since. Plus the BBC miniseries is sooo good!!!
I don't think I had a favorite author until recently and that author is, Jonathan Safran Foer...his characters are amazing, heartbreaking and so honest. He uses words so beautifully-his books tug at my heartstrings.
Omg so darling! I love Sylvia Plath!
I think my favorite book would have to be To Kill A Mockingbird. It's brilliantly written and has some incredible messages. I read it in 8th grade and have read it again at least once a year since (I'm a sophomore in college now).
And I'm a follower. :)

Ummmmm. I love the Harry Potter Series as far as favorite book... But favorite Author would be Jane Austen. Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice are the two best love stories ever written... In my opinion. I guess I just like stories about love overcoming all odds.

Your blog is on my newly discovered list among other lovely crafty people's blogs & you will find that I am in fact a follower of your lovely blog. =)
Like anything I do this is cheesy, but... my favorite author is Lewis Carroll with my favorite books being Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass. & I can tell you that I have many various editions of this set of books including a 2 in 1 from 1890-something. They are just so quirky & a fun read every single time I read them. =)

My absolute favorite author is Jonathan Safran Foer. It's tough for me to choose a favorite between his first two books Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close and Everything is Illuminated, but I'm going to have to go with Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. I hold this book close to my heart for many reasons. His writing style is unbelievably beautiful. The way he expresses himself through the characters and the stories hits me deep. I can definitely say that his books have changed my life. They've inspired me to write as well!

My favorite author is Douglas Adams. I first read The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy when I was a teenager. It still is one of the funniest books I have ever read :D

i've been following you for forever :).
one of my favorite books is catcher in the rye by jd salinger. the first time i read it, i think i was probably eleven years old--so i didn't understand alot of it. but over the years, i've come back to it numerous times and have read the rest of salinger's books as well. my catcher copy is marked up and dog-eared with all of my favorite lines, and opening it just takes me back to a time where I read Holden Caulfield's thoughts and words and couldn't identify. and sadly, growing up has kind of made me.
but, I swear I'm not going to get kicked out of school and spend nights in weird cities in sleazy hotels :).

My favorite book is the Perks of Being a Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky. It's a pretty close tie though with Catcher in the Rye. I found that both books were written similarly and I just love the perspective of the characters.
