One thing I'm pretty passionate about is ecofriendly living. I bring my reusable bags everywhere I go, try to repurpose items in the home, and love finding healthier and less expensive ways to live. When my copy of
Lemons and Lavender by Billie Sharp arrived, I flipped through and was thrilled it was so full of tips that fit right in with my life philosophy. Sharp encourages readers to embrace the good life with suggestions for how to budget through thrift, how to fit in organic foods, and how to have homemade holidays.
I really loved all the how-tos. Recipes for everything from sea salt bath to headache remedies, from eco-cleaners to thyme tinctures abound. There are gardening tips and a sourdough starter -- and don't get me started on the soups! I love soups, and will certainly be trying out some of these recipes this fall.
Sharp's recipes are health conscious and eco conscious - focused on wholesome and frugal living. It's such a handy book to have - she's even got tips on how to fix a toilet or clean up a broken CFL bulb in there.
Readers, I know you are totally going to love this book! I get to give away one copy - and you can enter by clicking on the Rafflecopter giveaway below. Good luck!

This looks like a wonderful book!

I always bring reusable bags to the store. What would normally take 10+ plastic bags I can fit into my 3 jumbo cloth bags. People always comment on them and say they need to do it too, but it is rare that I see anyone else using them around here.
Always interested in eco-friendly cleaning products. Thanks for hosting a great giveaway Lisa.
We share the same philosophy! The book looks great!!
Don't you just want to YELL at {lazy} people who won't bring their own bags to the store?? Makes me crazy.
What a great giveaway.
The How to's look wonderful!!
Wow! Great give away. Will have to pick up a copy of this book myself in the event I don't win ;)
This book does sound great. I'd like to read up on the thrifting section. I like doing it, but find I have little time to do it. Maybe if I read about it more, it would make my thrifing times easier.
Sounds like a great book. I like tips like this. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
Happy Fall!!!

I just love this book. I have been sharing the recipes with my daughter. She already wants to borrow it. I may have to buy her a copy for Christmas.

great giveaway. would love to try the remedies
I'm trying to implement some living with less ideas. I think as a society we get to consumed with being a throw away group. When we can refurbish and reuse. Really who uses everything they have?
I'd like to try the headache remedies for my mother
