YAY! FINALLY! SOME WINNERS FOR MY GIVEAWAY!

IT IS WITH FUN CELEBRATION THAT I CONGRATULATE THE TWO PEOPLE WHO GUESSED CORRECTLY IN MY GIVEAWAY!

The winners are: Dogs Mom blogspot, and M Ann M Creations. They guessed an IRON, which correctly identified the shiny object which is the reflection I photographed.  I WILL BE SENDING YOU YOUR OWN FLOWER BROOCH IN ABOUT TWO WEEK'S TIME. 

THIS IS THE REFECTION OF THE OBJECT WHICH I WAS ASKING FOR PEOPLE TO CORRECTLY GUESS.
I gave clues in a few posts.  The very last clue was the best clue I could give, as it was a shrine which another blogger had made for her uncle, and the shrine, itself, was basically the exact shape of the reflected object, an IRON.  One of my clues, was that fairies were repelled by this element and did not like what this vintage object used to be made from and that is????......Ta! Da! AN IRON! Fairies do not like anything made from iron.  This was a subtle hint.  I enjoyed the guesses which people made too! They were very creative. From a mirror, to keys, to a bowl of water, and a belt buckle. 

VINTAGE IRONS USED TO BE MADE FROM, WELL...IRON!  SO FAIRIES DID NOT LIKE THEM!
SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, MY ROWENTA IRON WAS STANDING ON MY LAUNDRY ROOM COUNTER TOP AND THE WESTERN, SETTING, SUN WAS HITTING THE SHINY BOTTOM SIDE AND THE REFLECTION WHICH I TOOK CREATED A VERY ETHEREAL PHOTO.
I HAD NO IDEA THAT SUCH A SPLENDID REFLECTION COULD COME FROM A LOWLY IRON.  THE REFLECTION DID RESEMBLE A SHRINE WITH AN ANGEL AROUND IT.
 THANK YOU ONE AND ALL, AGAIN, FOR PARTICIPATING IN MY GIVEAWAY.  IT WAS LOTS OF FUN WITH CHALLENGING EXCITEMENT.

CONTINUING ON WITH MY GIVEAWAY... PLEASE KEEP GUESSING! NO ONE HAS GUESSED YET! MORE CLUES!

AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED, I HAVE CHANGED MY HEADER TO REFLECT A MORE SPRINGTIME ATMOSPHERE, AND ALSO KEEPING IN LINE WITH CHILDREN'S BOOK ILLUSTRATORS, AND DOLLS, AND MIXED MEDIA.

I WILL LET YOU KNOW NOW, IT IS NOT A MIRROR, WHICH IS WHAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY GUESSED.

I WILL BE LEAVING THIS POST UP FOR ANOTHER WEEK, AND THE WINNER OR WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED ON A NEW, SEPARATE POST.

OKAY.  IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN FOLLOWING MY GIVEAWAY, PLEASE GO TO MY THIRD POST DOWN, AND SCROLL DOWN TO THE VERY LAST PHOTOS OF THE OBJECTS WHICH ARE REFLECTIONS OF LIGHT.  WHAT I AM ASKING FOR, IS TO IDENTIFY THE REFLECTION OF THE VERY LAST OBJECT AND LEAVE A COMMENT AS TO WHAT YOU THINK CREATED THE REFLECTED LIGHT.

 FOR THE NEXT CLUE, WE ARE GOING ON A SCAVENGER HUNT, TO ANOTHER BLOG. (A LITTLE BIT OF VIRTUAL FOOTWORK).

ON ROSANNA'S ART BLOG, THERE IS A PHOTO OF A SHRINE WHICH ROSANNA MADE FOR HER UNCLE WHICH IS THE EXACT SHAPE AS THE OBJECT OF WHICH I PHOTOGRAPHED THE LIGHT REFLECTION. PLEASE LOOK AT ROSANNA'S MAY 12TH POST FOR THE PHOTO CLUE. (SHE DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY GIVEAWAY.  IT IS JUST ANOTHER CLUE FROM ME TO YOU).  please look at the shape of the shrine she made and come back to MY BLOG and make a guess in MY COMMENT SECTION.  Please try to leave your email address or it will be difficult to contact you if you win.  Like I indicated, there is a little bit of virtual footwork!
There may be multiple winners too! 

THE BLOG IS ROSANNA PEREYRA'S BLOG WHICH IS: ROSANNA'S ART BLOG.  ROSANNA IS A FABULOUS DOLL ARTIST, AND ALSO A WRITER, AND MIXED MEDIA ARTIST. WHILE YOU ARE ON HER LINK, YOU MAY DO LIKE I DID AND OOO! AND AHHH! AT HER CREATIVITY.

PLEASE GO TO MY LEFT SIDEBAR AND CLICK ON ROSANNA'S ART BLOG LINK WHICH WILL TAKE YOU DIRECTLY TO HER BLOG. REMEMBER, SHE IS NOT INVOLVED IN THIS GIVEAWAY, SO PLEASE COME BACK HERE FOR YOUR GUESS.


I will give you one more clue here: The object is shiny and has lots of holes.

THANKS FOR GUESSING!

ANOTHER CLUE FOR MY LITTLE GIVEAWAY!... PLEASE READ THE POST BEFORE THIS ONE FOR OTHER CLUES. YOU HAVE TO READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THAT POST.

THIS IS TODAY'S CLUE:

IN FAIRY FOLKLORE, FAIRIES DID NOT LIKE CERTAIN ELEMENTS.  THE OBJECT, WHICH I TOOK A PHOTO OF REFLECTED LIGHT, IN THE OLDEN DAYS, USED TO BE MADE FROM THIS ELEMENT.

AND FOR THOSE WHO HAVE GUESSED A MIRROR,...I AM SORRY...FAIRIES ARE VERY VAIN.  IT IS NOT A MIRROR.

I WILL KEEP ADDING CLUES UNTIL SOMEONE GUESSES THE RIGHT OBJECT. AND YES THE OBJECT IS VERY SHINY, AS IT REFLECTS LIGHT QUITE WELL.  QUITE IRONICALLY, FAIRIES LOVE SEEING THEIR OWN REFLECTIONS AND TODAY THEY WOULD PROBABLY USE THE SHINY OBJECT IF THEY COULD NOT FIND A MIRROR TO LOOK AT THEMSELVES AS THIS OBJECT IS NO LONGER MADE FROM THE ELEMENT OF THE PAST WHICH THEY ABHORRED.

Thank you one and all!
