This here is the last Mighty Summit giveaway! Hello, trusty tote.
Large Natural Zip Top Canvas Tote Bag by Lands End
Man, these things are useful, and strong. We use ours to carry our child like an expensive, overbred dog. No, I kid. We use it on our yacht.
Yours will not say “Gifts” on the front, but it will have yellow trim. You could use it to carry around all these books:
You Lost Me There, by Rosecrans Baldwin
Hey, my friend Rosecrans is a novelist! Even better, the book he wrote is very good, and you will like it. It’s about a memory specialist who loses his wife and later finds a set of index cards covered in her writing. He comes to learn that his memories of a perfect partnership aren’t true to his wife’s feelings of isolation and disenchantment with the marriage.
No One Cares What You Had fro Lunch, by Margaret Mason
This is a signed copy of my book, which is not a novel. But! It is very green and full of good ideas for your blog.
Wiley’s Guide to California Wine
In which you will learn that California wine is delicious. Apologies for the spoiler.
This is the book Laura edited full of great writing and photography from women around the Web. Also, it is pretty.
In addition to the tote, Lands’ End also threw in a gift card. You could use yours for this. Or this. Or one of these. Whatever you want, really.
$50 Gift Card from Soma Intimates
And who doesn’t need new skivvies?

Fine print: Please only leave one comment for each giveaway, because it’s the nice thing to do, and also because multiple entries will be disqualified. I’ll use random.org to select the winner, and I’ll announce who won at the top of this post and in a separate post next Monday.

I just moved this weekend and my bedroom finally has room for nightstands. I have lived the past two years with no nightstands, which has made me feel like I wasn’t a real grown-up. For some reason, it’s that one item that I feel incomplete without – and so my new nightstands (assembled last night) are making me very happy.
