Hello! As promised, here’s a little giveaway! I am planning for this to be the first in a series of book + soap giveaways, just for fun!
For this first giveaway, I’m including an indigo dyed kerchief sized organic cotton gauze scarf and a 1 oz tin of calendula salve in addition to a bar of beeswax and honey soap and a (gently used) copy of Gilead by Marilynne Robinson. (If you are interested in knowing why I’m giving away used vs. new books, see this post.) I first read Gilead years ago when a friend gave me a copy for my birthday. Maybe you’ve already read it, but you can always pass the book along to a friend!
For your chance to win, simply leave a comment on this post. I will use good old-fashioned random number generator to choose a winner on Monday, September 4th. The winner will be announced within this post on Sept. 5th and notified via email. Because of the prohibitive cost of international shipping, this giveaway is only open to U.S. residents.
Thanks, and good luck!
*** Comments are closed and the winner is Bernadette who commented, “Lovely giveaway.”
