3/ What you would like to see more of on our blog.
4/ If you've had a favourite post so far- which one was it?
Each comment will be numbered in order of posting, and we'll use a random number generator to choose the winner...

1 - i love the gingko print coral and seafom. So my favourite product is your cushion in these colors and pattern.
2 - scarves would be so nice with your beautiful patterns and colors!
3 - i like your posts about what inspires you.
4 - a post i liked a lot was about haberdashery. found it! the one you posted on 28th of april. these picture were "tellement vous". looked like one pattern you should have designed together
1/ I adore everything in the range, but seem to have an addiction for tea towels... who knew one could need so many?! ;)
2/ Hmm... I'd love to see more items for table setting (tablecloths, napkins...); bedding (including blankets) would be exciting too; I also agree with Caterine's post, scarves would be lovely too!
3/ I'm always drawn to hearing about the creative process, how your work is progressing/developing.
4/ Oh, tough question! One that stands out is the "In the bedroom..." post (found it, it was April 7th); I loved that it included things you're inspired by, but also a direct application/connection to your own work and living space.
Congratulations on your 100th post! :)

1. my favourite thing is ANYTHING in your ginkgo print (esp coral/seafoam or lime/ink)

1. i love all your pillows. the color combinations are the absolute best!
2. i would love to see a tea kettle cozy, or a toaster cozy (i'm a cozy fanatic, can you tell?), or pot holders added to the range. oh, and bed linens, too.
3. i too also like the posts dealing with the creative process and behind-the-scene sneak peeks. or any of the posts dealing with food. yum.
4. i think this post is my favorite: http://abigailryanblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/our-irish-linen-adventure.html
so neat to see inside the factory and to take part in your excitement of getting one step closer to launching your new brand.
congrats to you both. you make beautiful products.
1. I heart your gingko lime and ink, slate and pumpkin cushions but also love "the deeps" gift set. I just can't possibly make a decision they are too lovely ;)
2. I would think to expand the homewares and develope products further, like bed linen. Also maybe can turn into wall art as well. Imagine panels of fabric for head board....ymmmmmmmmmmm!
3. I also must say i enjoy seeing posts from behind the scene, points of inspiration and other things of fancy.
4. I rather liked your official launch post back in nov. All very exciting to see fruits of all your hard work since followed its development from beginning.
congrats all your 100th post and fingers crossed to be the lucky winner.
Wishing ye all the best.

1. I love the teal and hot pink ginko cushion (11'x19')
2. Light shades - either using the botanical prints, or with the botanical images cut out of the shade
3. hmmm not sure about this
4. My favourite post - I can't remember the title but it had a website with vintage homeware stuff like jelly moulds.
I love botanical images, so products featuring botanicals almoat always appeal to me. That said, my favorite post was the one where A showed us some design inspiration for your new home; I love the intense colors and juxtapositions she envisioned. Thanks!
Hey - congratulations and what a great idea!
1 - I covet the seafoam and coral draught excluder!
2 - I think roller blinds would be just swell in some of your fabrics.
3 - I like the little snippits of art that you show us, little beauties to inspire us all
4- loved the irish linen post (back in the autumn, but they are all great!
good luck in the new home!
