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. 🙂

  1. Would love to win something lovely like your soap, salve and a new (and new to me) book! My son loves to woodwork as well and he made me a wonderful French-style rolling pin. I think of him every time I get it out to use it. Sending prayers your way.

  3. Congratulations on your beautiful new granddaughter. Thank you for giving us the chance to win. I’ve purchased yarn from you many years back and still wear the scarf I made with it. I’m hoping to get a chance to try your soap.

  5. Happy 1st week of Advent 🕯
    I’d love to read the book.
    Blessings to all.
    Happy Advent,
    Mary
