Little Meadows Giveaway {October}

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.”

  4. What a lovely color for that yarn. And a chance at the giveaway, thank you.
    I also wanted to mention that there is a 1992 movie about “O Pioneers”. Beautiful backdrops of the scenery and the house.
    And I also just read another of her books, “My Antonia” from our Library.
    An interesting thing about our local Library, it keeps track of the books you’ve read and also the amount of money you’ve saved by using the Library. I’ve saved $1,294.00 so far!!

  8. Fabulous treats! the orange is gorgeous! I’ve never heard of the book or author, something new to explore!

  12. Hooray! I’d love to win these items. I haven’t read this book, but it’s been on my “want to read” list for years.

  17. Another lovely giveaway! And in my favorite color too. I actually don’t have this book and have never read it! I know, I know, shame on this classics loving mama. Hopeful the generator picks me!

  21. Thank you for offering a give away! I have started reading Willa Cather books and really enjoy them. Sadly, I had never heard of her until a book was suggested in our Catholic history program. I have read two of her books and hope to read more.
    God bless!
