The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. - Lucille Ball

Happy Birthday, to Me!

It has been a hectic week month and besides a wonderful dinner planned for tonight, I have the whole day free.  Sometimes the best things are spur of the moment.  Let's see what the day holds for me! Hmm...what shall I do today.......

Just a reminder...if you have not signed up for my giveaway, see this post. A winner will be announced tomorrow.

Cocktail Napkins & Giveaway

I think having a set of cotton or linen cocktail napkins should be in everyone's linen closet or displayed on a really cool bar cart, a popular design trend these days.  You can go the traditional monogram route, which I am a fan of.  Or have fun and incorporate your favorite motif.  Such a small detail goes a long way.  Here are are a couple of examples that have caught my eye. 

In honor of my birthday (October 1) I will be selecting one reader to be the winner of  new set of 4 cotton/linen embroidered cocktail napkins. You will be receiving the set shown in the picture below.  In order for a chance to win all you need to do is simply add a comment to this post telling me what you've enjoyed most about my new little blog. Posts must be dated no later than Friday, October 1, 2010. Check back on this post to see who is selected and be sure to congratulate the new winner!  The winner will be posted on Saturday, October 2, 2010.  Good luck!
