J’s first day of Kindergarten was on Tuesday! I was a little bit nervous about him taking the bus by himself and being okay at school. But I had nothing to be worried about, he absolutely loved it. In fact when I came to pick him up, he was upset that he couldn’t ride the bus home, too. So far, so good!
And we have a winner for our Summer Collection giveaway… Joan!! Congratulations to you and Michelle! :)
The calendar says it’s still August, but here in Wisconsin it’s barely over 60 degrees outside! It feels more like the end of September. I’m not ready for summer to be over quite yet, so I’ve got a little summery giveaway – TWO sets of our Summer ‘09 Collection. One for you and one to give to a friend!
Just leave me a comment and let me know who you’d share the second set with, first name or their relationship to you only! The winner will be picked and announced Friday, September 4th around noon CST.
Soap probably isn’t the first thing you’d think of as a Father’s Day gift, but I don’t know any guy who doesn’t secretly like to be pampered a bit, too. Our unique Lavish Him Gift Set is filled with 3 masculine soaps (Evergreen Rain, Bay Rum Spice, and Spearmint + Eucalyptus) all handsomely wrapped and ready for giving. As an added bonus, it’s 10% off now through June 21st. Order by Tuesday, June 16th for delivery by Father’s Day.
And now what you’ve been waiting for- the winner of our first giveaway is…
Comment #1 from Carolyn G: “We have violets and I love them. They are my favorites.”
I just love the smell of violets and I’m sure yours are beautiful! :) Watch for an email from me so I can send you your stack of soap. Thanks to everyone for your comments and be on the lookout for our next giveaway.
These geraniums (I think they’re ‘Orion’) are blooming away in my garden right now. They are underneath a birch tree, the only somewhat shady spot in my yard, and seem to love it.
I bought them at the end of the season last fall along with some Japanese forest grass (Hakonechloa ‘All Gold’). The grasses were in really rough shape with barely a handful of leaves, but they were such a good deal I couldn’t resist. I didn’t think they’d survive the winter and was surprised when I saw their little yellow shoots this spring! One of them is the yellowish blob behind the geranium in this shot. Once they catch up to the geraniums, I think it will be a striking combination.
So that leads me to our first blog giveaway! In the process of cutting the bars of soap, I am left with lots of end pieces and trimmings. They don’t look that great, but they’re the same awesome natural soap as the full sized bars. In my attempt at an analogy, these would be the end-of-season bargain plants… it’s a stretch, I know. :)
Anyways, to win this stack of ends (weight equal to 3 full bars of soap!) AND a flax soap bag to help you use them, all you have to do is leave a comment answering this question: What’s your favorite plant blooming in your garden? And if you don’t garden, what’s blooming in your neighbor’s garden, across the street, anywhere… ? The winner will be randomly picked and announced next Friday, June 12. This contest is open to people with U.S. shipping addresses only, please! Good luck!
