I first met Amy C. Rea through her blog, Knit Think, where her motto is "As ye knit, so shall ye rip" -- Leah K, and where she writes about food, flowers, knitting, poetry, and Star Trek collectible glasses. Amongst other things. She recently ran a contest on her other blog, A Closer Look at Flyover Land, where she writes about the beauties of Minnesota. I won!
Not only do I have my own, signed copy of her new book, Minnesota, Land of 10,000 Lakes, but also a collection of poetry from Minnesota, Where One Voice Ends, Another Begins, and the delicious skein of hand-dyed yarn by Aisha Celia in the photos.
Of course, the first entries I looked for in the index were "book stores" and "yarn stores." Plenty of each, of course...
Thank you, Amy, for the books, the yarn, and for our friendship.

I have always thought that I would really like Minnesota. Tim and I often joke that we like cold weather and snow so much, we'll probably be the only people in history to ever retire there ...
Congrats! Looks like a nice package of winnings.
My pleasure, Melanie!
See? I told you we have lots of yarn and bookstores.
Congratulations! I hope you're able to visit MN one day, now that you have the perfect guidebooks.
Congratulations! What lovely yarn...
:)
Beautiful yarn, and what sounds like a beautiful friendship.
Amy does make Minnesota sound really fabulous.
Congratulations! I cannot think of a worthier winner.
It's such a beautiful place. What a great prize.
