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.”

  1. I know the book by Willy Carther Shadows on the Rock and I love it. If I win, please send the package to my friend, she lives in Atlanta, USA. 😀

  2. Made a vow to read some classics, so Willa Cather might be the first this year [and it’s already October, oh my!]

  14. Ooh! That is one of the few Cather novels I haven’t read. I love her other books and even read Death Comes for the Archbishop on your rec years ago.

  17. My teenage son loved reading My Antonia. I bet he’d enjoy reading another Cather book! And so would I.

  20. I love Willa Cather! I forget if you have read So Big by Edna Ferber, but if you haven’t you should definitely try it out!

  21. Ooh! Willa Cather is a favorite of mine as well – and I don’t own this title yet. I imagine that soap smells wonderful; I have a bar of your lavender goat milk soap I purchased years ago and it still smells lovely.
    Blessings to you and yours,
    Melisa

  24. Love tickseed and never knew it could make such a gorgeous color in yarn. I love soap and I love books. It’s a lovely assortment of goodies.

  28. Oh, this is my favorite fall color and I haven’t read this Willa Cather book yet! Maybe I will get lucky.

  32. I always get excited when I see an email from you Ginny. You and your family are very special and I enjoy keeping in touch with you!

  33. I have notecards with this quote by Willa Cather “Where there is great love, there are always miracles.” Love that! Thanks for the generous giveaway.

  37. So wonderful to see your beautiful faces each post! I bought 2 head scarves for my granddaughter. So adorable anyone deciding whether to buy one just do it!

    • What is your favorite? I read My Antonia in high school and did not care for it but it is my plan (24 years later) to reread it. I read O Pioneers earlier this year and really enjoyed it but my favorite, at least so far has been Shadows on the Rock. Wow. I just really loved that one.

  40. I’ve only read Willa Cather’s My Antonia. It would be fun to read another by her! And the yarn is lovely.

  48. I love that the soap and yarn are both colors that appear on the cover of the book:) what a lovely giveaway.
