Tea giveaway celebration of April 23rd-ness

I recently received two sample packages—first from Cait and then from Ricky. It was utterly wonderful. It was simply enchanting to open a package and not know what surprises lay within. I enjoy sending out samples too—almost as much as receiving them. So I propose a little random contest. I will send out three samples on April 23 or a day or so later in honor of an enchanting date of the year.

Please sign up below if you’d like to enter the drawing, which will be random using randomizer.org. But you must say if you’d like to compete for the Shakespeare Sample, the Nabokov Sample, or the Shirley Temple Sample. Why them? They all have April 23rd birthdays.
The Shakespeare sample will be a bit magisterial and wide-ranging, full of all kinds of different types of tea. The Nabokov sample will be a bit pyrotechnic with some big flavors. The Shirley Temple sampler will be decaff teas, sweet teas, a bit of rooibos—a bit like a Shirley Temple cocktail.
You have no obligation whatsoever. Just sign up and indicate which drawing you prefer to be in. The sign-ups will close sometime in the middle of the day of April 23rd. Please sign up for only one of the drawings.

I don’t mind shipping outside of the USA for this one.

OK- I will sign up for the Nabokov package- perfect match of tea and author/celebrity! What fun! Who would have thought that Nabokov, Shakespeare, and Shirley Temple shared the same birthday….

And I will join Ricky and Doulton and volunteer to send a package.

One suggestion: when Doulton does her “lottery pick”, I can send a package to the “runner-up”…

Nabokov, definitely :D
(Standard disclaimer about shipping it off to Europe if you win. I won’t pout if you don’t want to do that)
