Little Meadows Giveaway {December}

I meant for this to be my November giveaway, but somehow it’s December already! This is the third installment of my “just for fun” book + soap (plus other stuff sometimes) giveaways. In honor of my new granddaughter, Elsie Amalthea, whose middle name is for the unicorn in The Last Unicorn, (affiliate link) I’m giving a copy away this month (it’s new because I couldn’t find it at my used bookstore) along with a bar of peppermint goat’s milk soap, and tins of calendula salve and my new lip balm.

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 Tuesday, December 5th. 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 now closed and the winner is Jodi. Thanks, everyone!

ALSO: Keats made some really gorgeous live edge cherry cutting boards while he was home for Thanksgiving and they are listed in my shop. I’ve also listed my last two batches of soap for the year and there are two new headscarf colors because I decided I wanted to over dye some of my existing colors. It’s just too fun to play with natural dyes! My scarves are almost sold out, but there are still quite a few colors available. Right now there are also plenty of my salves and lip balm and a bit of wood sealer as well. 🙂

  2. I don’t think I knew The Last Unicorn was originally a book. I’ll have to add that to my digital library holds for when baby comes this month. Thank you so much for the fun and generous giveaway! I’m in Canada, but could have it shipped to my American family if I happened to win.

  7. What a wonderful giveaway! The book is one of my favourites, but I’ve always wondered about your salves so I’d like to enter anyway – and I don’t lend my copy of the book (too many occasions when lent books don’t return!) so it would be lovely to have a copy to share! 🙂 Christine xx

    Taking care of my elderly mama this season & it might be the first year I forego all the trappings that make the holidays so stressful. Trying to keep that “babe” born so long ago the main point!
