Hi everyone! The sun is finally shining and it's going to be a great day! This months book give away is Country Living's Simple Country Wisdom 501 Old-Fashioned Ideas to Simplify Your Life. It was published in 2009 so it's one of their new books.
It has the great pictures you expect from Country Living and more!
From Amazon: "Is modern life becoming too complicated and messy? Top-selling author Susan Waggoner is here to simplify it all. She shows how anyone can enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle filled with traditional country values—and save time, money, work, and frustration in the process—with household hints our foremothers knew well."
It starts with "What Makes a Welcoming Home" and ends with "A Greener Life". The tips are great and easy to do. I learned some new ways of doing things! It has a little bit of everything, great photos and good info.
To enter just leave a comment. You don't need to have a blog or live in the U.S. Everyone is eligible to enter. Please make sure I have some way to contact you. I will draw and post the winning entry some time on Tuesday. Thanks so much for reading this blog!

What a wonderful giveaway. I so enjoy your blog...always an inspiration. I'd love to win the book.
I am new to viewing blogs but I came across yours and love it! We live in a mobile home and I love the whole country look. I have to keep it simple because I don't have a whole lot of space. When I need a little motivation and inspiration I take a look at photos of your beautiful home. I've always been one that loves tag sales and flea markets. It feels so good to take something some one else would discard and find new and wonderful uses for it. Keep up the good work! I've been meaning to comment but never did and when I saw the book give away I thought why not. :)
The book looks like one I would like to sit in peace and quiet with a cup of coffee and peruse the beautiful pages....
Looks like a book to enjoy a lot more than one cup of coffee with. Would love to win it. Thanks for the chance!
I have had my eye on this book. I love your blog!

It is so much fun to visit here...thanks for sharing your home with us Manuela!

I've been meaning to tell you that my compost bin that I modeled after yours was not much of a success. It was too dry, I think. It might have worked, but I got a bit lazy about tumbling it and adding water. I will have to cover some of the holes, and try again ;-)

I love your blog and have just discovered it and read all the posts. I especially loved the directions for the raised beds you made for gardening-am hoping to use some of our scrap lumber for this Spring. Also loved the garden tea-cups and oddly enough my subscription to MaryJane's Farms featured how to make them in this months issue. I also noticed we have almost exactly the same books on our book shelves-you have great taste and because of your blog I found out about two Louisa May Alcott books i didn't know about before! Thank you so much. Kim at f_verity@hotmail.com
I love your blog and so wish I had the computer know-how to create my own. You have so many great ideas and I have to say I have used a lot of them. I woulf love this book. Just keep up the good work and thanks. Shirley
