A Fortnum and Mason Giveaway



How many times have I mentioned Fortnum and Mason 
in my blogging life? This makes ten! 
For those of you who are not familiar with this store, 
it is located on Piccadilly in London.

It is one of my all time favourite spots in London.
I know each floor intimately....
I guess you could say I have a bit of a crush.

My F&M teaccup and saucer

My F&M hamper, honey pots and jam jar.

The store is fab, the location is perfect.  
I nip into Fortnum and Mason for tea or lunch, 
walk a few doors down to Hatchards to get lost in the floors and floors
of wonderful books and then head across the street to the Royal Academy of Arts 
to view the latest exhibition.  Bond Street, New Bond Street, St James Steet,
Jermyn Street and more are an easywalk from the store.

My F&M apron...with long tie.

Chef's Apron Giveaway
Every time I stop into Fortnum and Mason
I pick up a little something...and I have done the same 
for the lucky winner of my giveaway.
For you: the Black and Cream Chef's Apron.

What do I love about this Chef's Apron?
It is nice and long and has equally long
ties.... enough for a bow in the front.
I like that.

The bow... on me.
It is simple, elegant and easy to iron too!
Ironing?
Yes...100% cotton needs ironing.
You will look ever so smart when you do. :)



Fortnum and Mason says about their Black and Cream Chef's Apron.....
"Look smart in the kitchen in this traditional black and cream chef's apron. 
Made in crisp 100% cotton with a simple but elegant design, 
we feel sure it will improve your culinary skills"

Has it improved my culinary skills?
Not quite, but I am working on it. :)

  3. I love Fortnum and Mason! The first time I visited London Simone took me there and we had such fun. On our way home from that trip, being 4 months pregnant with our third boy, we considered Mason as a name.
    Have a fabulous week,
    xx

  7. Hi Jeanne - I walk in your footsteps when in London and frequent all the places you mention, when my father in law was alive we used go to Burlington Arcade for his silk bow ties. I have so many books from Hatchards and it is my favourite bookshop in the world. I have also shopped on line.
    My best

  15. Oh! how I would love to win your apron. Years - I mean LOTS of years - ago my brother worked in a meat factory for the summer (college job). Aside from a bit of money, all he came away with was two white cotton butcher's aprons which he kindly gave to Mother and me. I am still wearing mine! It's plain as can be, but still usable, so have never gotten rid of it! Thanks for sharing... with someone!

  28. I used to work just around the corner from F&M. It was our local cake shop! I loved the window displays - especially at Christmas. You would also often find me hanging out at Hatchards - they get some great authors in there signing their books.
    I'm planning a visit down again soon to go to the Degas exhibition at the RA.

  29. Hi Jeanne,
    I'm off to London next month and you have just reminded me that I haven't been to F&Ms in many moons :-)

  38. Oh Jeanne, I love these typical old english houses where women stay in for at least 3 hours to find every interesting thing for their homes.....Fortnam& Mason is one of it.
    Your apron is a beautiful choice and a wonderful giveaway!

    Hugs,Beate :)

    PS: Even if I don`t read books in english, but I guess, I can`t resist with (?) this one:the cover is so very inviting, the text seems to me easy to understand...what a beautiful book....

  41. No doubt I would have to drop the Australian accent when wearing the apron and speak the Queen's English!

  42. Love the apron. But if I win, I would like you to actually hand it over while we have a cup of tea in the Fountain restaurant....then maybe a trip to the Degas at the RA?

  43. Hi Jeanne - lovely lovely Fortnum and Mason; an institution indeed. I love your take on all of these quintessentially English things. My apron is rather old and tattered - always room for new!! What a nice giveaway. Lou x
