and the winner is...

Thanks to everyone that participated in the giveaway - and thanks to CSN Stores for making it possible! I decided that the easiest way to pick a winner was to put everyone's name in box, shake it up, and the first name chosen would be the lucky one:









Drumroll please........

giveaway!

When CSN Stores contacted me the other week to do a giveaway, I was so excited! I mean, I get to do a giveaway - how fun is that?! Oh, and also CSN Stores is pretty cool - they have over 200 online stores where you can pretty much find everything for the home, from furniture to modern bedding to cookware and even shoes and supplies for your pets.

They have a huge range of products in a wide range of price points - from affordable to high end (at a discount of course!). After doing some quick browsing, I already have a pretty long wish list including this beautiful throw:




And these wine glasses - I think it might be time to trade up my Ikea glasses for something a bit nicer. And I love the shape of these - they're very classic but unique at the same time.



Oh, and this tray:



Isn't it pretty? It's by Thomas Paul, a NYC designer who launched his line of home accessories in 2001. I really love his prints and the one on this tray is one of my favorites. And guess what? CSN has offered to send one of my readers this lovely tray! All you have to do is check out CSN Stores and leave a comment with one item that you found that you loved - and don't forget to leave your email address! I'll do a random drawing on Monday, January 11th.

Good luck! And thanks CSN Stores!
