I have spent the last few weeks reading The Gentle Art of Domesticity by Jane Brocket. The book arrived on my doorstep, courtesy of STC Craft.
Reading this book was a comfort to me. I loved the way Jane explored the things that she loves to do, which are coincidentally some of the things I like too. Beyond the sewing and the knitting, her ponderings struck a chord with me on so many levels. The photos are inviting, the words captivating and the tone welcoming. I didn’t read her blog before I read this book, but I will now. It’s that wonderful.
And lucky for you, I have an extra copy for sharing. If you would like the book, leave a comment on this post before Saturday, September 13th and I will use the random number generator to choose a winner.
Hope you are having a great day.
Lucky number one?
What a generous giveaway. Yarnstorm is a very inspiring blog. Hope you are having a great day too!
always looking for ways to improve the art of domesticity. put my name in the hat.
Oh my, is it possible I am first? I just saw this book on another blog. The photos on the cover are enough to make me want a copy for myself :). Good luck with your latest knitting project :).
Oh, how very generous! I do read Jane’s blog and I look forward to her book. Thanks for all of the lovely inspiration I find on YOUR blog!
I’ve been trying to get a copy of this through my library, but they don’t seem to have it! Boo hoo.
Thank you for turning me onto Jane’s blog. I want to be like her, except I’m totally inept when it comes to baking bread and sewing seems like way to much prep and planning for an impulsive type like me.
oh- that’s exciting- thank you for offering one to give away- and of course, for all your inspiring work. š
Ooooo! Pick me! Pick me!

Besides hearing so many great things about that book- the cover is lovely! It sold me! I hope I am the winner (I say that in the most “sportsmanly-like” way š
I’ve been wanting to read that! When I first learned about it, it was still only being published across the pond.
I’m just so happy that it is no longer embarassing to be so focused on home and crafting and making life, well, more pretty and tasty.

I am working on gently becoming domesticated, this could really help. Thanks for the opportunity.

Ooo, I almost popped this into my amazon cart the other day. Maybe I’ll get lucky!!
Is that the book that you said craft swap ladies aren’t allowed to see, because it has too many great ideas?
You know I want that book. But I guess it would be a LITTLE FISHY if I won. So I’ll just go get my own! HA! HA! HA! HA! (that’s supposed to be maniacal laughter)

I’ve been reading her blog for about a year since I decided to get serious about photography. I was impressed by her great photography skills with a Point and Shoot. I figured that I could master my P&S and achieve good photos because of her. I would love to read her book and see what else she has to share.
This book looks so interesting…the pictures are very inviting!
I’m definitely in :0)

It’s beautiful isn’t it? I have a copy (am in the uk where it came out first) but if I was lucky enough to win I’d ask for it to go to a dear friend in Texas, so please include me!
Oh, I would love a copy! Even if I don’t win, I will have to go pick that one up. Sometimes I get a little embarrassed by my “domesticity”.. or feel like I should hide it – but it isn’t something to be embarrassed about! I’m embracing it!
Thanks š

I always wonder what life would have been like if I had been a Victorian lady…what am I saying, I am a Victorian lady…too bad that isn’t really normal anymore:) Domestic all the way!
Another good review…must be worth the read! I’ve been trying to get my hands on a copy…it’ll balance nicely on my pregnant belly.

I hope the gentle art will be send to Holland! Thanks for the oppertunity!
I have been enjoying her book too. I love the photographs and tidbits. The book causes me to sit still and reflect on the things I really want to do in my home life instead of what ends up happening. Likewise about yarnstorm blog…I will start reading now.
The book looks like a good one (I can always use extra help!), perfect for the cold indoor months ahead.

Mememeeeee!
Oh, how wonderful and generous! š

Thanks for the link to the blog!
I’ve never heard of her! Thanks for that!
Ooh! I’d love it! That sounds great!
Funny, I was just checking our libary online to see if they had it. Sadly they do not so winning a copy would be awesome. Although I’ll try an interlibrary loan if that doesn’t work. š
I love Jane’s blog and would love to win a copy of her book – thanks for offering one!
I would love to win. Especially since I’d never seen it before, and thus, might not have ever read it! š
Ooh, thank you for giving away a copy! That’s nice of you. I heard about this book as well. She sounds like a lovely person.
Love the photography on the front cover… great use of color. Sounds like an interesting book.
This is like some kind of synchronicity. I was just hanging out after pilates with a friend and we got talking about how we would LOVE it if we could spend all our time puttering around the house doing all those domestic things we don’t have time to do because we have to chase a paycheck. As much as I would love to have this book, I would totally give it to my friend if I won it (after looking through it to see if I wanted to buy a copy for myself, of course!)!!
I’d love a chance to win this book. The picture of the spools of thread on the front cover is so pretty! (Yes, I am one to judge books by their covers and I’ve found some lovely reads that way…)

Don’t include me in the drawing, because I had just purchased this book this morning. I’d also planned to post on it. I absolutely loved it!!!! Isn’t it wonderfully inspiring and helps you feel pleased to see others who appreciate the domestic arts (not necessarily the cleaning part), as we do.
She does remind me of you though!
the macaroons on the cover are reason enough to read the book. please tell me that there is a recipe in there!
Ooooh yay! That looks great! Pick me š

Oh my gosh this book is on my wish list. I would love to win it!
I could really use a book on domesticity. I feel like I’m not quite living up to my own expectations. I wonder what my boys will remember. My mom is a great cook, but all my kids rave about is her frozen pizza. What have I done to them? I could really use some help.
love it!
So funny. This book is popping up all over the place. I almost ordered it yesterday but some books for the kidlets won out. Her blog is great. Makes all this domestic stuff I do around here seem like it really does mean something! So important in the big scheme of things… keeps me a bit more grounded. Thanks for sharing and offering up a copy. It is still on my wish list!

I love the title of that book. The comforts of home… is there anything better?
I am thinking of giving this book as a birthday present to my 11 year old neighbor with whom I seem to have more in common (at least in the crafty area) than any of my mid-thirties girl friends. So should I win, we can have matching books!
I’d sure love to have my number picked. I’m itching to read that book! Thanks for being so generous.
Looks like a great book, sounds like it’s full of fresh inspiration…thanks for all of your lovely inspiration.

I’m not hugely domestic but I’m trying to be. Household tasks sometimes seem mundane to me. I’ve been trying to make it more fun to clean and maintain a cleanly home. Perhaps this book would motivate me. Lets hope I’m the lucky one to win! š Good luck everyone!

This sounds like a lovely lovely read. And just what I need to counteract the anti-domestic nature of my school schedule this fall. I know come winter break I will be ready for a good dose of domesticity in my life.
oooh, MUST HAVE THIS BOOK!
I am soo happy to have heard such great things about this book. If I don’t win this (and boy am I hoping that I do) then I will definately need to buy it!
Woohoo, a giveaway for a book i’ve beeen coveting. Maybe it will be my lucky day š
Nothing like a giveaway to get the lurkers (like me) out of their shells! I love your blog and Jane’s as well…have been coveting this book from afar (overseas). Thanks for your review of it!
I love Jane and her blog is great
That looks like fun….always up for a good book.
That looks like fun….always up for a good book.
Would love a copy of the book – hope I’m lucky š
That looks good….!
…reading daily your blog since i don’t remember when… never posted a comment … cause feels strange to say something to someone who you seem to know but knows nothing of you… but the oportunity of the book … made me write this… and gave me the oportunity to thank you for the marvelous tutorials… and the daily inspiration… for someone who spends 6 hours of the day bored to death… waiting to arrive home to do something creative… your blog is the perfect company… THANK you…
thanks for the giveawayāŗ
yea!
My library system does not have this book (what?) and I’ve been wanting it !
It’s been on my amazon wish list ever since I first heard about it….
I would love to have this book to curl up with on a Fall day.
Greetings. I continue to read your blog to offer inspiration and motivation to make our house a home. I’m more dedicated and less self-conscious about being a stay-at-home mom and home-maker now and I think this book would fuel my interest in this life project. Thanks for the contest!
Looks like a lovely book; perfect for fall when I always seem to feel more domestic.
The title sounds like something the characters in “Pride and Prejudice” might read. Looks soothing…
Oh, a blog contest. Fun! Thanks for sharing!
oooooh! throw my name in the hat too š
that book is already on my wish list – it looks wonderful!
I’ve been hankering after a copy of this book for ages after finding her blog a few months ago! What a fantastic giveaway!

I’ve been wanting to see this book! Thank you for the chance to win it!
Oh I swooned over this at Barnes and Noble the other day, but I was lacking in the funds department. I’d *love* to score a free copy!
I didn’t read her blog either until I heard about the UK version of this book coming out, then I was hooked. She has a way with words and images.
Oh, I would love a copy of that book – I had just recently added it to my wishlist, in fact! Nice to hear another positive review.
Oh! I was looking for this in spanish, but they don’t have it.
Random… please pick me!

I was drooling over this book at the store the other day…
I have heard some really good things about this book.
Glad you liked the book. I read “yarnstorm” daily along with your blog (guess no surprise you like some of the same things). The book has been on my wish list at Amazon – hope I win here so I can get it sooner.
Holy Cow look at all of those comments, you are one popular chick Mrs. Harris! I would love to check out this book, and I probably will even if the generator doesn’t look my way. Have a great, if rainy, weekend!
I was just saying that chance is never on my side. Maybe chance will give me a random pity vote. š

I must confess initial astonishment to learn that you did not read Yarnstorm’s blog until now. It is as if in my mind the people who write the inspirational and lovely sites I enjoy are all acquainted and are friends with each other. Silly me!
Let me take this opportunity to thank you for your blog. I visit regularly. I have a selection of beautiful blogs like yours and Yarnstorm’s that I go to when I need an oasis…an escape from the craziness of life and a source of inspiration. I hope you realize how many lives you touch!

I agree, if I don’t win I will probably buy this one anyway. Sign me up!
Looks like a nice book. How wonderful of you to share with a lucky person! I too find the whole tracing a pattern thing to be so slow and sometime, I’m having a blonde moment and just don’t know what I’m doing. I just want to go ahead and get working on something already and have a finished product. I think I need to work on patience this year.
I have heard and read so much about this book. Thank you for being generous!
I just got this book, but I’m entering my name in the contest for my friend, Sherrie. She wants this book so badly and she’s a fantastic friend, always showing up on my doorstep with some little gem she picked up for me at the thrift shop. Here’s hoping I’m lucky today!!

Heeeyyy, I’ll leave a comment. I’ve just started seeing this book everywhere on different blogs. I would love to see what it’s all about!
I just moved and need all the domestic type help I can get. Sounds wonderful.
I found your web page in the book “A is for Apron” which I am really enjoying. How great the web can be a tool to connect kindred spirits! I too love home crafting (knitting, sewing, cooking, gardening and mothering of course.) Thanks for putting my name in the hat for the book.
thank you for sharing this book with us! I”m always eager to sit down with a good book and learn something new!

Erin, how nice of you to do this. I would love to see this book. I just bought a house this past year and have finally gotten to start nesting. It is so nice to see all my books around, pictures on the wall and all my craft stuff organized and easy to find. I get the greatest pleasure out of curling up at home on a rainy day and just stitching, or cooking, or beading.
I almost never want to leave.
Anna

I love your blog, though it’s a double-edged sword at times …it both inspires me and frustrates me. All the things I’d like to do, and cannot find the time for at this stage in my life – two children under 5, living a school free life, working from home 20 hours a week minimum, blahblahblah. Sometimes I come to look at the photos you post, and just breathe in deeply thinking, My time will come, my time will come. And I’ll keep reading til then, and for long after. Thanks,
Kelly
I’d love to win this book. I need all the help in domesticating I can get! I love your blog!
