The first item is a signed copy of the Pioneer Woman's Cookbook!
I have been a faithful follower of her blog for many years and I was so excited to learn she was releasing a cookbook. The book is filled with her gorgeous photography, step-by-step photos of recipes and plenty of stories from the ranch life.
Next up we have a custom set of 7 spice jars from Gneiss Spice!




I adore her work and I think I about fell out of my chair when I first found her work on Etsy. I already have several items of my own picked out to order from her as soon as my kitchen renovation is done! The hexagonal shape of each one of her jars fits together creating a spice-colored honeycomb pattern on your fridge. The reusable jars come die-stamped with the name of the spice, strong neodymium magnets keep the jars from sliding and the lids form a tight seal to keep the spices fresh. She offers more than 70 different spices along with the option to contact her if there is a special one you are looking for that is not on her list. A special thank you to Gneiss Spice for donating a set of her spices for this giveaway! Please check out her Salts of the World giftset where she is donating $25 of the purchase price from each set to KIVA!!!
The next item included is a Boojiboo apron! I have amassed quite a collection of these adorable aprons over the last year and the lucky winner will receive the following apron!

I have to say, if you have not checked out their etsy shop, you really should. They have nearly 10,000 sales on etsy and for good reason! They offer several different styles that are all cut to flatter various female figures, they also offer child sizes! Their prices are very reasonable and they are great to work with if you are looking for something custom. Oh and just a little fyi...guys love them too, Hubs is a HUGE fan of me wearing these aprons... ;)
Last up we have a set of 4 Le Creuset ramekins and 2 rectangular stoneware enamel baking dishes in Kiwi (same color as show on the front color of Pdubs cookbook):
