Moonlight and Laughter giveaway!




Happy Birthday, Marilla!!
I wish you all could have seen me open the May Moonlight and Laughter samples! You would have seen my jaw drop a few times! I love love love this shop!
Ok, I know it was probably wrong of me, considering this was the sample she sent in this month, but I just snatched her "Rainbow Connection" yarn right out of her shop. If someone doesn't buy the "Marilla's Garden" roving, I'm going to go back and get it- and I won't feel guilty about it either, because here I am- telling you how awesome it is! Lime Greens, deep purples, a sunny nasturtium color and with hand dyed firestar to mix in for some bling! This roving is gorgeous.
Moonlight and Laughter is one of those hidden gems of etsy- once you've bought from Marilla, it is easy to make it a habit!
Marilla is so generous, she sent in 4 oz of her hand painted super squishy superwash roving in the "Marilla's Garden" colorway as a giveaway! Just visit her shop, and find something you like (she's open to custom orders!) and post about it below. I will draw a random name on Friday, and remember I will count your extra tweets, plurks, facebook updates and blogposts as extra entries! Help spread the happiness!
Thank you so much, Marilla for the opportunity to purchase the most amazing rainbow colorway yarn I have ever seen. You Rock.

  1. If I hadn't already spent my fiber budget (twice), I would so be buying that Blue Mountain River roving . . . or the Marilla's Garden. Next month for sure.

  5. I do like the Marilla's Garden, but I think my favorite is the worsted weight,"Limelight". I can't resist purples and greens together.

I love all of her stuff, but even more, Marilla is a really awesome, down to earth person... and I love, love, LOVE the name of her store, I've always been smitten with it since I laid eyes on it.

  14. I would love to win this giveaway! I have a nice bag of "Storm Before the Calm" roving I just purchased from Marilla and I love it. In her shop, I really like the "Blue Mountain River". The way her colors blend is soothing and lovely and I have to remind myself that I should spin my roving instead of just petting it. I keep it out so I can look at it whenever I walk by. :)
