Hello! Here is the second installment of a series of book + soap giveaways, just for fun!
This time, I’m including a skein of dk weight wool yarn that I dyed with tickseed sunflowers, a bar of orange spice goat milk soap, and a (gently used) copy of Oh, Pioneers! by Willa Cather (affiliate link). (If you are interested in knowing why I’m giving away used vs. new books, see this post.) Willa Cather is one of my very favorite authors. Maybe you’ve already read this one, 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, October 23. The winner will be announced within this post and notified via email. Because of the prohibitive cost of international shipping, this giveaway is only open to U.S. residents. However, last time a few who live outside of U.S. asked if you could enter and then pay shipping costs if you win. Yes, that is fine!
*Comments are closed and the winner is Barbara who commented, “I love your hand dyed yarn and that’s a beautiful color! Willa Cather is a wonderful author and I would love to have her book. Thanks for the opportunity.
God bless.”

OH, so much to love here. Thank you for the chance to win all of this goodness. Willa Cather takes me straight back to college where I was introduced to her writings.
~ The yarn dyed with tickseed sunflowers is gorgeous. I’d love to share it with my children knitting students. Next year we will dye our own yarn. Wonderful giveaway, thank you.

I am so happy you are blogging regularly, Ginny! I missed hearing from you.
Thanks for the giveaway…

What a beautifully curated giveaway! The yarn is gorgeous. Thanks for the opportunity.
Thank you for the giveaway! Beautifully dyed yarn, as always 💕
These are so fun! Thanks, Ginny!
Please pick me! I read O Pioneers for the first time this past summer. My eldest daughter is a huge fan and took her younger sister to the 150th anniversary celebration of Willa Cather in Red Cloud. And that yarn … makes this Nebraska transplant yearn for her California roots; you should name it California Poppy!
I’ve always been wanted to try dying with tickseed sunflowers. How beautiful! 🌻
Willa Cather is amazing. I haven’t read her in years though. I need to read her again.
Thanks for the giveaway. I hope your family has a fabulous autumn this year.
One of my favorite writers!
Ginny, thank you for the chance to enter your lovely giveaway! You make such beautiful things!
Thank you. The yarn is beautiful 😍
Love Willa Carther! I’ve knitted with your yarn before, baby sweater and what a delight to knit with.
Hope you are having a wonderful Fall, we sure are here in Colorado.
Oooh what a fun giveaway, the yarn is gorgeous!
That’s skein of yarn is beautiful! It looks just like fall!
Willa Cather and lovely wool made using tickseed sunflowers! Thank you for making it a possibility.
You had me at “yarn that I dyed.” 😂 What a lovely giveaway! Thank you for the chance!
I’m totally into orange right now. I’ve never read a Willa Cather book that I’ve disliked. Great idea!
What a fun giveaway! I’d love to win!
Thank you for the giveaways! I am always so happy to see your beautiful photography in your posts.
Thank you for a chance to win.
Love your soaps, Ginny!
How delightfully autumnal! I haven’t read “O Pioneers!” But I like Cather’s writing.
The yarn is beautiful! Willa Cather is a new author to me.
I really enjoy reading your posts. I too have a span of kids ranging over 24 years. I would like to think that we would be kindred spirits in another place and time.
Love Willa Cather-but haven’t read this one yet!
She’s so wonderful! Great giveaway!
Thank you for keeping your beautiful blog alive! These little giveaways are so fun. Thanks for doing them. I’ve never read that book, but the cover (and the yarn) is beautiful.
I love Willa Cather! I wrote my senior thesis on Death Comes for the Archbishop.
