Monday Book Giveaway (October 6, 2008)

This weeks winner is <insert drum roll> Ruby! Ruby wins The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry. Ruby, please send your shipping information to katrina (at) stonoff (dot) com, and I’ll get your book in the mail. You’re going to love this book!

For next week, once again, one lucky winner will receive the book of her/his choice. Yep, any book you like (well, any book readily available for $25 or less, not including shipping). To enter, just comment below  with the title of a book you’re Jonesing for (before noonish Sunday, Pacific Time). Then come back next Monday to see if I’ve drawn your name from one of my hats. Contest open to anyone on the planet who has access to reliable mail service. Good luck!

Now, the hat from which Mad Scientist drew Ruby’s name:

This is another vintage hat I purchased on e-bay. It’s made of plush (fake fur, but really good quality), stitched over a stiffened cloth frame. On either side, a whorl hangs down, made of cloth (probably silk) folded into tiny pleats and stitched into a spiral like a conch shell. There’s no tag, but it’s extremely well-made.
