Little Meadows Giveaway

 

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.”

  6. I think I read it for a book club, but I will obviously need to re read it, if I win! I’m really excited that I was able to get some salve. Thank you!

  9. Thank you! Calendula is so wonderful! I have been an avid reader of your posts – thank you for sharing your life and family with me. It’s been a rough year and your voice has been alight in the darkness. Be well!

  12. I read Gilead about 15 years ago while visiting a friend over Christmas, but I don’t have a copy of my own. Thanks for the opportunity!

  15. What a wonderful giveaway! At the library we just checked out the picturebook “Before Colors Where Pigments and Dyes Come From” by Annette Bay Pimentel. I had to pass the title on to you. I thought you and your kids would enjoy it.

  16. I enjoy reading and seeing the wonderful pictures of your daily adventures! Thank you for sharing your family with us! What a sweet giveaway!

  17. what wonderful giveaways! I really would take part, if you could tell me the cost of shipping to germany as a gift, for paying the shipping costs of my own. … I read your blog since years, alway happy to see the kids growing, plants blooming and wool and yarn in the wonderful colours you choose to dye it. greetings, eva

  22. Your soaps are always a treat, Ginny, and although I haven’t yet tried the calendula one, I do love the Chrism salve. I think this giveaway is wonderful and so generous of you! Take care of your dear self!

  29. Thanks for this lovely giveaway😊
    I’ve never read Gilead but I know you’ve talked highly of it! So happy the salve is restocked!

    • What a wonderful giveaway! My favourite colour is blue and I love beeswax honey soap. I haven’t read Gilead but I just looked it up and I think it would be very interesting. Thank you so much Ginny.

  38. I love these little scarves, would love to add this vibrant blue to the ones I already have.

  40. I’ve never read that particular book, looks good! And I always get excited about soap! 🙂

  41. Gilead is such a beautiful book–one that I’ve been meaning to re-read for a while!

    Also, thanks for doing an old-fashioned kind of giveaway without all of the social media sharing and such. It’s very refreshing! 🙂

  44. I would delight in wearing that scarf!
    Thank you for offering this fun giveaway. I have always admired you, Genny.
    Love,
    Rosie

  47. I’ve never heard of this book before! I’m wanting to transition from store bought to hand made soaps so fingers crossed my comment is picked:)
