I almost forgot about my annual Holiday Ornament Giveaway! I have one little owl on reserve for this special occasion. I stumbled upon him while looking for something. The poor little guy had piles of stuff on him.
And while I’m at it, I have one more thing to giveaway. It’s this very awesome little paperback book called How to Sew A Button: And Other Nifty Things Your Grandmother Knew by Erin Bried. It was very kindly sent to me to check out, and it is pretty darn cool I have to say.
It’s timely content will have you doing everything yourself with ease, while saving money at the same time. What you ask? There is tons! Just to name a few; learn how to make a fire, can fruits and veggies, start a book club, win a silly argument, clean naturally, hang a picture, compost and more. Everything you wanted to know about cooking, cleaning, nesting, dressing, thriving, loving, saving, joining and entertaining is all in this book. Not only does it full of useful information, but it delivers with charm and a good sense of humor. And everything came from real life granny’s wanting to share their nifty secrets with us. I love that.
You can see more about the book at Howtosewabutton. com. Be sure to check out the demos and learn how to make a pie, fold a fitted sheet and tie a neck tie. It would make a great gift for someone moving out on their own for the first time don’t you think?
Leave a comment by Friday on this post telling me something you learned from your granny or mother. One person will get the ornament and one will get the book. Good Luck!
Ooh I’ve been seeing this book all over the place. I am totally going to get it. It would be lovely to win it;) My grandma taught me so much. My favorite tip is to put a bar of clean smelling soap in your linen closet. I actually have maybe 6 or 7 bars of yummy soap tucked in all my sheets and pillowcases. When I put new items on my bed it smells lovely. (We use unscented soaps and no dryer sheets and there is no *smell* to our laundry otherwise.)
ooh! that owl is too cute and that book sounds so fun! i wish my granny had been able to teach me more.
thanks for the opportunity.
