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!

Thank you for all your wonderful comments!!!
How fun!! Thanks for this chance to win. And thank you for sharing the small things of life with us. It has helped me slow down and notice my own.
Thanks Ginny, what fun! I still have a little bit of the chrism salve I ordered from last year, and it is a treat.
I have enjoyed reading your blog for several years now, seeing your children grow up, and hearing of your family’s adventures. When I happen to see you at church I feel as though we’re old friends! God bless you, Ginny.
I live your blog and photos! Thank you for the give-away.
What a lovely thing to do! I’ve been curious about your Calendula salve. I enjoy the variety of things you share here, thank you.
I have been watching your family adventures through your blog for quite a while! I have great respect for how you and Johnny you are raising your children. I’m old enough to be your mom!! Your products are great…the soaps, scarf pins, stickers , photos have been enjoyed here.
What a lovely surprise!
Just love reading about your life and family. You are an inspiration to us all in this mad busy world. XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I’ve been wanting to try that calendula salve and it must be out of stock again!
I enjoy your blog very much.
Oh how fun! Thank you for creating a fun giveaway! Your posts are always an enjoyable treat to read!
Reading and knitting; my two favorite things as well! I just finished a crocheted shawl. I like knitting better, but I really liked the shawl pattern. It turned out well. But tonight I am staying with my elderly mom for a few nights so I can’t send photo. I really hope your chicken starts to walk tomorrow! Love your blog!
What a fun post! Thank you!
I love reading your posts. I teach transcendentalism to high school juniors and I think of your lifestyle while I teach. You are inspiring.
This salve sounds so wonderful. Thanks for the chance to win!
What fun! I love that the book is a vintage copy. Thanks!
Thank you for the give-away! So fun! I’ve followed your blog for at least 15 years now, I think. I just never comment!
It’s fun and nice to see a good old fashioned blog giveaway! Gilead has been on my reading list for awhile, it would be lovely to receive a copy.
Such a lovely giveaway! Your soap is the best!
What a gorgeous shade of blue!! Gilead has been on my list for years, and I just haven’t gotten around to reading it yet…
I so very much enjoy your blog, sharing the many pieces of your life and journey of home and family. I look forward to that email in my inbox saying you’ve written another post!!
I truly appreciate this sweet giveaway you are holding!!! Such a wonderful treat!! Thank you!
A lovely giveaway! Loving the indigo blue on the kerchief and your soaps are always so soothing. I’ve never read Gilead but if you recommend it, I’m sure it’s wonderful.
What a lovely giveaway!! I love Gilead but it’s been many years since I’ve read it. I think I’m due a re-read. I always enjoy getting your updates in my inbox.
How nice of you! I’m always happy when I see you’ve written a post. Maybe someday you’ll write a book because your writing style is interesting and soothing–wonderful descriptions.
I have enjoyed your blog posts for a few years now. Truly enjoying yours and your family’s journeys….births, birthdays, homeschool days, graduations, milestones, industrious time, books recommendations….LIFE! You’re so kind and candid admissions. So, thank you Ginny for sharing and giving! I have learned so much!
It would a pure delight to receive such a lovely gift from you!
I’ve been following your blog for SO many years!
What a wonderful treat! Thank you for doing this!
Yay for giveaways! It makes the close of summer a lot easier to take!
I love your blog. I love it because you are so honest about the journey of motherhood, being tired, things being messy. I also love your photographs and your garden. Some people think creativity is more to do, but it really makes life richer. You show that really well.
Yay! I’m just so happy to get a new email notifying me that you’ve made a new post! I always get excited when I see you’ve posted something new! 🙂 No matter the season, your beautiful photos always make my heart sing.
I’m a plant pathologist too…maybe that will make me lucky and win 🙂
