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!

  35. So fun! I have been enjoying your blog for quite sometime now. Real life, real talk, real people. The fun, the sad, the inquisitive, the exciting, the uncertain, the enjoyment of life. Thank you for sharing!

  36. What a kind, thoughtful gift package, Ginny! I haven’t read Gilead, and I always like a new book to enjoy and then re-gift to a friend! Thanks for your offering this as a give-away.

  39. Hello! This is a fun thing to do. I think we all enjoy it. Thanks so much, Ginny! Everyone in my family loves to read and I’m currently into The Lost Queen of Egypt by Lucile Morrison for probably the fourth or fifth time (I’ll never forget “discovering” it on the shelf of my local library when a young thing . . 12 years old or so!) Have a good weekend everyone xoxo

  41. Used books rock. Especially old library copies! Old books are my one weakness. Thank you for such a lovely giveaway!

  42. Its always refreshing to read your updates and today’s bonus is your giveaway! I wish I had the energy level that you have, how on Earth you keep up with all of your children and their needs is just amazing, not to mention your gardening, housekeeping and all the animals too. Thanks so much for being online.
