To everyone who entered our pillow giveaway, thank you! Of course, I wish we could have had four hundred pillows made from dazzling dresses—that certainly would have kept the talented folks at Calico Corners busy—but for now, there's only the one.
Now in picking a winner, Jaithan and I thought it only fair to do it, as we always do, by random. So after a quick couple of numbers plugged in here, outcame the result. And the winner is...deep breath...April of San Antonio, Texas, who, by the way, has a charming blog all about love and life in San Antonio. Congratulations, April! Lots more giveaways to come, everyone!
Hi Eddie from Nantucket again :)
Love the Indian Corn Centerpiece! My mom did branches of bittersweet, indian corn and pine sprigs in a big old silver punch bowl as a kid for Thanksgiving. It's funny how you remember that...the corn triggered the memory.
It was a massive dinning table, so not one person was blocked by my moms theater on the table. The bittersweet twigs reached 4 feet up from the bowl...15 foot ceiling's because it was a Tudor style rectory and my dad was the rector. Your style with small bits from nature into these "wow!" conversation pieces is so fantastic. Here's a challenge...what could you do with old mason jars and an interesting nature element of your choice??? I think it would be fun to throw design "go to's" your way...I know you'll comeup with a winner every time. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your new home this season.
Best,
Christie

Congratulations to April. I am envious to be certain, but I still am holding out hopes that you will visit us here in Bowling Green, KY. I am thinking you are SO NEEDED HERE! It has been an adjustment coming from the Atlanta area...and well...you have a place here to lay your heads. I am excited to see your new show on HGTV. I hope you are enjoying the Holiday Hustle as it has begun. Do you have a Christmas wish list? Gosh, what does a designer wish for? "Inquiring minds want to know..."
