My First Giveaway

I think it's high time I hosted my first giveaway, don't you? Well, here it goes. I am hosting a giveaway that includes a few Turkish items.

The nazar boncugu (bon-joo) is a very popular symbol here. It protects the wearer against the evil eye. People place these on the door, wear them as jewelry, carry them in the car, and anything and everything else. I'll include at least one nazar boncugu in the giveaway box. I will also include a small package of Turkish coffee, some Turkish candy, and probably another surprise or two as well. It will be a smallish package, as it costs a lot to send things from here.

To enter, leave a comment to this entry. For an extra entry, "like" Witchin' in the Kitchen on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Witchin-in-the-Kitchen/102358696469804

Blog about it for an extra entry. There ya go, up to three chances to win a bunch of schwag from Turkey. :)

I will leave this open for a couple of weeks. A winner will be picked at random on or around May 11. Sound good?

Nice idea. (^v^) I'm in.

(Still not sure what to cook for Beltane, though there was this nice pumpkin and mango soup recipe in this new cook book I got last week... I'm addicted to cook books. And food. And everything inbetween.)

Over at http://rundumsprache.blogspot.com/2010/04/lesenswert-witchin-in-kitchen.html you can even find a blog entry on your blog, in German (sorry!), with a link leading here. (^v^)

Have a nice day!
