a thank you giveaway!

giveaway time
 I have been wanting to offer one of my handmade giveaways for so long! Your enthusiastic reception of my upcoming book was a good reminder to finally get to it.  All of that spool love cinched the deal. So, I made a bucket for one of you... a smaller version of the one in our sun room.  I filled it with things that I love and thought you might, too. Here's what's inside:
  • an assortment of vintage spools
  • a hand stamped "reminder" stone (collected at our lake in the summer)
  • Mary Oliver's poem Wild Geese... to go with the stone
  • and a handmade notebook
giveaway
I've been making notebooks with paper scraps and binding them on my machine for the last few weeks. A quick satisfying project- and I'll share how to next week.

Please leave a comment below before Sunday, February 27th at 5pm. Comments are now closed. I'll announce the random winner on Monday morning. I will ship anywhere in the world. Wishing I could send a bucket to everyone, but you know that! Pin It

    Your blog has been a great source of inspiration for me, but over the past few weeks it has become a source of solace and a reminder of the simple joys that I once shared with my grandmother and god father who I lost this month. The loss of these two people who shaped my very earliest memories has brought me to a place of reflection and evaluation of my priorities and what I chose to spend my time doing. I plan on bringing back some of the activities I cherished when I spent time with them to share them with my children and to start some new as introduced by you. Thank you.

I'm sure there is an official name for such a table, but I have loved that thing since I was a child. Thank you for your appreciation of the simple things!

    Great giveaway. I'm a big fan of Mary Oliver. The buckets are so great! I would gift the notebook to my herbal sister pat who is recovering from a massive stroke and using gingko as a part of her healing protocol~it could be her herbal therapies note book as I am sure when she recovers she will want to know exactly what she took and in what doses! Thanks for a chance.

    Thanks for the chance to win such a wonderful gift! I love your bucket bags... so much! Last year each time I brought stuff in from my garden (using the bottom of my shirt) I thought of your bags and told myself how much I needed one! Let's see if I get lucky...

    It's a few weeks now since I started following you in your daily posts, idea's, creative work and personal moods,... I like it a lot, and it brings me some quiet moments in my busy life. It gives me opportunities to stop a moment and reflect. THanks for that. I would of course like the bucket, but I do live in Bruges (Belgium) it seems really far a way,... but who knows,... anyway keep up the good work, we all seem to enjoy it a lot

    How lovely of you to offer your beautiful things to one lucky reader. My heart leapt when I saw the spool parcel from your mother - there's something so deliciously tactile and inviting about wooden spools. We only seem to have plastic in the UK now so I would adore to win this! (Your bucket is, of course, the icing on the cake!) Many congratulations on your book, will be watching for publication date!
