I have featured some of the most talented people on this blog. Two of our gracious ladies have sent beautiful items to giveaway as gifts to the followers.
Do you remember talking with Cindy Cloward of Riley Blake Designs? Well she has a sure-to-be-beautiful new line of quilting fabrics, Penny Rose, premiering in September, and I can hardly wait. But today, a fabulous bundle of fat quarters arrived from her line Le Crème Basics. Cindy says that this greatly resembles the Penny Rose fabrics that will premiere, and she thought that one of our followers should win this bundle of eleven quarter yard cuts.
Tina from The Enchanted Home dazzled us with her love of blue and white. She has graciously offered a lucky winner a pair of blue-and-white Staffordshire dogs from her online store. Tina has sourced some amazing items that can be found in her Enchanted Home Shop.
You can also register for a chance to win Alexandra Stoddard’s book Things I Want My Daughters to Know. Her writing and thoughts are admired by women everywhere, and she continues to inspire us to live each day to the fullest. She has such a following, and you could be the lucky one to receive this book. She was the first author that I featured, and she inspired the name of this blog, The Ribbon In My Journal.
I love our newest book Southern Desserts, and we are giving a copy to two lucky winners. You won’t believe the recipe collection in this hardback cookbook. I love the fun of giveaways.
Enter below for a chance to win one of these wonderful gifts!

I love your magazine and blog. I subscribed when your first issue ever came out. Was jumping for joy when the
magazine was resurrected! Thank you for sharing the joy every month.
Thank you for offering this nice giveaway. I receive your blot post alerts via email and am delighted at how often you post! Wish I were as dedicated to my posting. Now, that doesn’t mean I don’t often think of posting during the day…*sigh* of taking the time to sit and write and add a picture or two. I certainly need to be more dedicated! It is so nice to read your posts, and I certainly prefer them over, say, a Facebook post or tweet, simply because I appreciate the time and effort taken to write something meaningful, interesting, beautiful, and, of course, inspiring. ; )

Pingback: Southern road trip and I need your help! - The Enchanted Home
My 17 year old daughter and I both enjoy Victoria, Tea Time, and Southern Lady. Thank you for giving us both a way to escape the world and be inspired by the little things in life that make us truly happy!
Sincerely,
Two avid readers!
I am a fan!!!! Love your stories, love the magazines. You make me dream and find such a warm happy place to just dream:-)
I just found your blog. It’s lovely. I’m loving this little escape while my little boys take their afternoon nap. I am so inspired by you Phyllis! I was so blessed to meet you when you did a book signing at Davis Kidd (now closed) here in Nashville. I would love to win the treasures in this giveaway. I was reading Phil 4:8 (“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”) in my devotion today and it makes me think about your beautiful magazines I subscribe to and this blog too!
A nice place for a little inspiration.
I visit The Ribbon, for a lovely break from the harsh and fast pace of today’s world. Your blog, along with your magazines, bring me to a peaceful, beautiful and gracious rest.
Thank you for the giveaway, but most of all thank you for the inspiration.
I really like reading your new blog. I am so glad you did it. I really enjoy Southern Lady and Victoria, among many of your special editions and books. I recently ordered 2 copies of Bouquets of Love, one for me and one for my daughter. It is a beautiful book in so many ways. Thank you for your inspiration, decor ideas, and for being such a wonderful Southern Lady. Peggy
I have only recently started reading your blog … And I have one question … Where have you been all my life? I love it!
Have the latest Victorian magazine with the feature being France. Love it very much and with your giveaway of one of your magazines I would hope to be one of the two winners. Thank you for this giveaway.
I’ve enjoyed your magazines for years. They are a beautiful escape! I love the warm memories that you write about here often stirring pleasant memories of times past.
What a delight to read TEATIME and CELEBRATE magazine! Now receiving your blog regularly I so enjoy reading the interesting topics and people you share. THANK YOU!!
You are so generous!! I’m a decades fan of Victoria and it’s still my favorite!! thank you!
Enjoy reading your blog & thank you for the chance to win something!
I believe that I am to say why I read this blog. First, I am a loyal subscriber to Southern Lady and Celebrate, and have often purchased Tea Time. I came to “know” Phyllis through those publications and knew that I had stumbled upon a kindred spirit. When I learned about “The Ribbon in My Journal”, I just knew that I would enjoy the blog. And, happily I was correct. I particularly enjoy when Phyllis shares her memories, for it often brings to mind fond memories of my own and the special people who are part of those memories. Thank you. MM
I have been reading your blog from the beginning and have enjoyed it so much. I especially enjoyed the blog with bringing memories back of getting perms growing up. Thank you.dot921@sbcglobal.net
I love this blog and its very inspirational and I am addicted.
Oops…meant Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourviere
I love Victoria magazine. My mom has every one since the premier issue. I was excited last month when there was a story of Lyon, France. I have visited Lyon several times,even the Eglise Saint-Geoges church. It’s even more beautiful in person.
I love at the end of my day to read your blog..peaceful end to my hard day.
Love your blog. Thank you for the giveaway!
Great giveaways! Good luck to all!
I found Alexandra Stoddard giving decorating advice in woman’s magazine 15+ years ago. Since then I have collected most of her books and never get tired of re-reading them. I look forward to Ribbon in My Journal and all it has to offer young & old alike. Thank you for sharing your heart.
Found your blog through The Enchanted Home. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love your blog and your magazines. I, for one, was thrilled that there was a new Victoria to enjoy each month. It is beautiful.
I love this blog. Journaling is one of my favorite things to do and I actually have a ribbon in it! I like and enjoy in my own life almost all that is talked about in here, even though I hail from New England. Last week, I found a head vase in a Vintage’Antique shop. I grabbed it up. Remembered your article and hoped I would come across one. I am also a fan of Alexandra Stoddard. I am a long time letter writer (pen and ink) and when I read her book Gift Of A Letter I realized I was already doing almost all she suggested! We must all be Kindred Spirits. Thank you for this blog. I hope I win the dogs or Stoddard’s book…
I am enjoying the pure inspiration that your blog (and media resources) sets forth! I am waking up to the beauty that can be enjoyed even in the smallest corner of a one.
Alabama is my childhood home state. After marring and living overseas much of my husbands career we settled & retired in Texas. I do not consider Texas “southern.” So your when Southern Lady arrives I feel like I am back home with friends and family. I am so homesick when I finish each issue:( You present the south as it should be BEAUTIFUL. Each page is absolutely wonderful…even the advertising! As with Southern Lady, Ribbon, also brings me much pleasure.
love reading your blog
I’m such a fan of “Southern Lady” magazine and just recently started following the blog (a few days ago).
I read your blog because I am a fan of Victoria magazine!!
Enjoying your blog; you and I have a lot in common! 🙂
I look forward to reading your posts daily.
I love your blog and Victoria Magazine because I love anything pertaining to the beauty and graceful living of the Victorian age since I am a Southern Lady and would love to win the Giveaway !!
Another blogger mentioned you were having a “fantastic giveaway” so I decided to check it out. As I was exploring your site, I discovered you published Just Cross-stitch magazine. I still have a few of my old issues. I was also interested to find out that you publish Victoria magazine. I subscribed to that years ago and was so disappointed when publication was stopped. I wasn’t aware that it was being published again.
Brings back memories of a more simple, elegant time just for me. Thanks so much!
I look forward to getting your blog in my email. I love reading it. Makes me remember some things I haven’t thought of in quite a while. Would love to win any of your lovely prizes too.
Martha Pullen is a dear dear friend and she introduced us at her last school here in Huntsville, AL…when I heard you had a blog I had to go see and it has become a favorite! My fav entry so far has been the video with your sons!! So precious! You inspired me to write my own blog all about the why of photography! Thank you!! http://www.cindyroadman.com …. come visit if you wish! Blessings to you! Cindy
I enjoy your blog! Happy to receive it. Thank you for inspiring us all to make our homes warm and welcoming.
Love Southern Lady. Have been subscribing since I picked up a copy in Hilton Head Island last year!
I have been a reader of Southern Lady magazine since the beginning so I knew I would enjoy a blog by Phyllis Hoffman. I have not been disappointed.
Love your blog and all of your stories about when you were young. I so remember the perms and wearing the white gloves to church,etc. Thank-you for sharing!

Phyllis, it’s great to see how much your magazines are still part of my life – since back in the Just CrossStitch days when I stitched samples for the magazine. (That was over 30 years ago !) I have enjoyed reading about your mom and dad in the blog. They are such special people to me and it’s good to know they are doing well. Donna D
Your blog is like a breath of fresh air in this over technological world. Thank you.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the day it is so nice to grab a cup of coffee or eat my lunch and peruse the loveliness of a more serene and simple life full of beauty. It is the one thing I desire most out of my magazine and website choices.

Love, love, love your journal entries. So many of them remind me of people we both know and love. Each entry is like having a chat with you after church on
Sundays.
Reading this blog is like taking a walk down memory lane . . . memories of growing up in sweet home Alabama: summers spent in Gulf Shores, making fig preserves from the figs on our fig trees in the backyard, the scent of honeysuckle in the evenings and catching fire flies in a jar . . . thank you for making new memories for me!
Love the blog, such fun to read all the interesting topics!
I love this blog. I enjoy getting to read about true southern people and traditions.
Reading your blog is like talking with an old friend!
From the first day I found this blog I knew I had found a place of kindred spirits in both Phyllis and her readers.

Hi Phyllis,
I have always admired the calm and balance way you live. I take 6 of your magazines by mail and I look forward to each one of them coming in the mail.
This is a wonderful give away.
Thank you so much

Hi! I have followed Ms Stoddard since I read about her in Victoria Magazine. All of these giveaways are delightful.
Love your blog – it is so refreshing, lovely and pleasant.. thank you!
You know, I have no memory of how I first came to this blog but I’ve been here since the beginning and it’s just a lovely little read. It’s already given me ideas for my home (chalk paint!) and I love the positive, encouraging, warm tone. 🙂
I have enjoyed Phyllis Hoffman DePiano needlework publications for years and it is wonderful to see how her vision has grown to give us more wonderful resources, encouragement, and inspiration.
Phyllis-
This is such a treat from some great ladies! Thank you.
