If you're unfamilar with the book, here's a quick peek:
I covered this coat hanger a while ago. It was a quick and enjoyable knit, and reminds me I must make some more. Maybe for christmas presents?
This book has something for everyone: recipes, re-vamping furniture, knitting, crocheting, crafting, gardening and more.... and it's printed on lovely thick matt paper, with the addition of beautiful photographs by Ben Murphy.
Leave me a comment if you'd like to be in with a chance to win, and I'll draw a name next monday. Good luck!
(this is open to anyone in the UK)

Lovely coat hanger and I love that book, please don't put my name in the draw though as I already have a copy.
I already have a copy too - I think you will find that most of us have! I got the wonderful weekend book for 50p last week. xxxxx
Oh goodness that book looks lovely! Why didn't I spot that in the Charity Shop!? I would love a copy...just starting to watch the new series of Kirstie's Homemade Home - so will see what that is like!?
Take Care

Oh my goodness, what a find! Now that really is something that I'd like to win.
Ooh, I'd like a chance to win it, please!
Ever hopeful, me.....
I would love a chance to win this Diana. It looks worth it for the coat hanger pattern alone!
Gosh, what a lovely find. I'd love the chance to win - thanks so much for the chance.
What a find - I have heard about this book but never actually seen it.

Hi Diana, I would love to be in with a chance of receiving such a lovely book. I have Elspeth's Wonderful Weekend book and am sure I would get great pleasure from this book too. x
I would love to win this book. I miss Elspeth's words and pictures from her blog. Please throw my name into the hat!
I cannot imagine why anyone would want to get rid of this book either - unless they had two copies?
I like your coat hanger and I also miss Elspeth's words too.
dear Diana - how generous! - finishing my 'normal' contract work today and looking forward to a month or so of handmaking... count me in! love Cx
Your coat hanger is lovely. Please don't put me in the draw as I already have a copy. But you've just inspired me to pull it off the shelf and have a good flip through.

I've got a copy, but thanks for the reminder to get it down and look for the winter projects!
I have picked this book up so many times in my shopping cart on Amazon that they probably think I'm a loon at Amazon as I always put it back,trying to be sensible you see!
Would love to go into the drawer to win your spare copy.

I'm amazed that anyone would want to give away this beautiful book! Don't put my name in the drawer Diana as I already have a copy, in fact I was only yesterday reading through the winter pages for some christmas inspiration.

Don't put my name forward, I'll definitely buy a copy... tho' I still have yet to pick up knitting needles and get started learning to knit.
Thank you for bringing to my notice. As a serial book addict, I will love having it...even if I will need a nudge now and then to make me take courage and make something!
Please put my name into the hat, thanks, Lynne
Looks like I am in with a chance as so many people have their own copies! After my last post saying how I miss charity shops which don't exist here in Catalunya I think I should put my name in the hat. You can count me in as a UK person and if I win I can pick it up when I next come to Cornwall. Lovely to see you - let me know how it all goes K xx
I am very interested in that book. But I do live in the States. It's not available thru our Amazon.
Love the covered hangers!
Oh wow what a wonderful find! I used to follow Elspeths blog and couldnt wait for her latest update of her wonderfully romantic life on the southcoast in two converted railway carraiges. Her writings never hinted at any depression or the turmoil which must have been swirling in her mind. She was such a fantastic lady and even though i never personally knew her i miss her presence in blogland regularly. I would absolutely adore a copy of this book, so please may i enter?
Hugs

What a wonderful little piece of Elspeth to have in my home. I miss her very much, and would love to have some her wonderful idea s come spend some time with me. Please count me in for the giveaway!
Oooo - well done you. I've been hankering after a copy for yonks. It was on my Christmas list last year and then the in-laws went 'off piste'! I would love to be in with a chance to win! Thank you!
Visiting you via Caireen's blog - beautiful photographs of the ivy/creeper. Book looks like a lucky find too! BB
Oh, I'd love to give a home to this book, after somebody didn't value it. I loved Elspeth and her taste and ideas were just wonderful. Just what I need for a pre-Christmas treat, after all the scarves, mittens, hats, I've been turning out for everybody else's Christmas presents! Anna Clements
