WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

In celebration of my 100th post, I'm giving away today this apron and potholder that I made just for this occasion, plus this transferware cup/saucer. I will also include a couple of surprises in the box from the great state of Colorado. And no, Gloria it isn't Coors beer. (Wouldn't that be illegal to send across state lines!!!) At any rate, I so enjoyed reading all of the comments about this giveaway. But, more importantly, I have appreciated your friendship over the last few months as I embarked on this blogging journey.

So, without further discussion, I have put all of the names of those that have commented on my last two posts in this blue bowl.

My two charming grandkids stopped by after school today and drew the name of:

Yes, you may have to click on the picture to see that the giveaway goes to NIKKI of Blah, Blah, Blah blog! And wouldn't you know, Nikki is a notorious non-cook, but said in the comment that her husband would be so excited to see her in an apron. Here you go, Nikki, email me at salmagundiss(at)yahoo(dot)com with your mailing address, and I'll get the package right out to you. Then, of course, we want to see a picture of you in the apron in front of that big metal box that heats up and cooks food!

Thanks to everyone who participated. I'm always thrilled when you comment on my posts and I read everyone of them!

TABLESCAPE TUESDAY & A GIVEAWAY REMINDER

Once again it is Tablescape Tuesday hosted by Susan of Between Naps on the Porch. My favorite place to eat lunch when I am home alone is at the computer. So, today I've fixed a tray so I can share my lunch time with you, my blogging friends!

The menu today is simple - some salad, creamed cheese & almonds on whole grain bread, a tangelo, and a chocolate brownie.

The glass and salad bowl are Fostoria in the Argus pattern. The larger plate is "Liberty Blue" which was part of a dinner set sold inexpensively in 1976 to celebrate the U. S.'s bicentennial. The Liberty Bell plate is also from 1976 produced by Wedgwood as a special edition award exclusively to Avon Representatives. I found it at a yard sale years ago.

Thanks for sharing lunch with me!


A REMINDER!!

On my previous post, I announced a giveaway to celebrate my 100th post. All of the commenters on the previous post and this post will receive a chance to win this apron, potholder, the transferware cup/saucer, and a couple of surprises. So, it is not too late to throw your name in the bowl!! The drawing will be held on January 28th.

Thanks for stopping by and please go by Susan's to find all of the other Tablescape Tuesday participants.

A GIVEAWAY FOR MY 100TH POST!!!

My 100th post is coming up, so naturally I wanted to have a giveaway to thank everyone who has been so kind to me during the last few months. I've been doing a little sewing just for you. I made an apron just like I use to make back in the 1950s when I was first married. No respectable cook should be without one - just ask June Cleaver!! Then I made a potholder with a transferware cup on it - all of my friends are getting potholders this year from me, and I wanted to include you, my blog friends.

Now, you all know how I love my transferware. So, in my giveaway, I'm including a cup and saucer, in order that we may share a cup of something hot to drink across the miles. This cup/saucer is from the W. H. Grindley & Co. Ltd., England in the 'Homeland' pattern.

I will also include a couple of surprises in the package - a little something from the great state of Colorado. (I promise I won't send you any snow!)

And now, the rules: You will receive a chance to win for commenting on this post and also on my next post. So, if you comment on both posts, you will receive two chances to win. Then, I have a charming grandchild waiting in the wings to draw the winning name on January 28th. If you do not have a blog, please leave me an email address when you comment, so that I can reach you if you do win. Also, sorry but I must limit this to those of you in the Continental U.S. - you know how high postage rates are getting!

Good luck everyone; and thanks again for supporting me during my blog journey!!
