It's the Summer Giveaway!


As promised, I've got another giveaway up my sleeve. In celebration of my favorite season, I'm offering one lucky winner a gift pack with the following items:


A copy of the book Prairie Rose by Catherine Palmer (#1 in the Town Called Hope series)

A 46-page recipe book of Simple Suppers from Family Living, because in the summer you want to make supper as fast and easy as you can!

A bar of all-natural strawberry soap- great for the bathroom or next to the kitchen sink! Also, a lovely kitchen towel made from vintage seed sack, to dry your hands.


Of course, I'll include my semi-famous cupcake pin cushion, handmade with love by me, and filled with sand to keep your needles sharp.


Finally, it will come to you in this great little shopping tote, which folds up on itself with a snap to form a tiny rectangle so that you can stick it in your purse and have it handy and ready to use at the farmer's market, flea market, or wherever you go this summer! This is such a great little light-weight shopping tote that I bought two for myself. I also like that it's a smaller (but not stingy) size and won't weigh me down.


How to Enter: Leave a comment here, but don't leave your full e-mail address. I don't want you to get spammed! You can earn an additional five entries in one of two ways: You can become a "follower" of this blog (just let me know in the comment section) by clicking on the "follower" button on the right side. OR, if you are already a follower or don't have a Blogger account, you can still earn an additional five entries by announcing this giveaway on your blog with a link to this post. It's so easy!

You have up until 12:00 a.m. June 29th to enter. The winner will be announced on Monday, June 29.

I love having giveaways, they are so much fun. I really appreciate all of you who take the time to stop by and read my domestic ramblings or send me sweet notes by e-mail. They are always so encouraging.

Now, here's my top ten things that I love about summer:

  1. Warmth!
  2. Bare feet in the garden. Flip flops in the house.
  3. Outdoor markets and picnics.
  4. Vacation.
  5. More daylight.
  6. Time spent outside with family and friends.
  7. Getting wet with the hose and not caring!
  8. Eating and canning fresh goodies.
  9. Watermelon. Lemonade.
  10. Sunflowers in bloom.
Gut Glick (Good Luck) to all who enter!

What I want to know... how stinky is the soap? LOL If it is too stinky and I win, I can pass it on to the giver of all things stinky. Hahaha! Yes, it was Bath and Body works.

You know what is worse than D2. WHAM! Ugh... was subjected to that today. At least it was not Wake Me Up Before You Go-go.

I'll let you know if I post this elsewhere. I am not sure I am in a rhyming kind of mood at the moment.

Monica said...

Ruth- I know you, and wondered how you are doing over in England, especially after your visit to the States. Please feel free to e-mail me any time.

CWJ- If you win, I am replacing the soap with Cashmere Bouquet. ;-)
