And The Winner of The Great Backwoods Home Magazine Giveaway Is…

Happy Sunday ya’ll!

I cannot believe a week has already flown by so fast and the winner of The Great Backwoods Home Giveaway (Our Personal Collection) is going to be announced in this post!

This is such a huge collection and like I said it’s been well loved but I know it’s going to make someone very happy and we are so excited to share a huge part of our literary/reading life with someone else.

I am so glad I did not have to select the winner but that Giveaway Tools has a program where they select the winner thank goodness as it would be way too difficult for me to decide.

We will be having more giveaways this year including a honey harvest giveaway where someone will win a pound of our coastal North Carolina honey this summer.

The list below is what our winner will receive in the mail most likely by UPS this week. I will notify them directly of how their shipment will arrive.
