and the winner is

Sorry about the quality of this photograph.
I didn't want to risk taking the scarf out of the bag!
Things happen around here.

Thank you to every reader who entered my little giveaway for the traditional Ethiopian scarf. I enjoyed your varied examples of inspirational people, some very personal and others more publicly-known figures, past and present. And now I have some new inspiring people and books to follow up on - thanks!

There were 24 entries in total. I used the popular and magical Sequence Generator on random.org to find the winner:

 # 7


And counting down from the first comment, the 7th entry is:

I am going to read about Dr Hamlin, she sounds like an amazing lady. Thank you for bringing this work to my attention and offering this beautiful scarf as a gift to one of your Internet friends.

You are very welcome, my internet friend! Please drop me an email with your mailing address, and I will send Piper straight to the Post Office with your package.


Or maybe I'd better drive? The pond is on the way to the Post Office...



 
...and we wouldn't want any accidents.




Now, Kath, just one more thing...who inspires you?  :)

  2. Yay for Kath! I love the vision of Piper swimming through the pond, holding the precious package up above the water, to get it safely to the post office!

  4. How exciting, thankyou so much! But I think you should send Piper to England to deliver my scarf, as I would love her to meet her long lost "twin"!
