CSN Stores Giveaway!

I didn't feel like there were enough entries to use the random number generator thingie, plus there were a couple comments that didn't count anyway, so I just took a few minutes and wrote everyone's name and comment number on a piece of paper, folded them up, and put them in a big bowl. I shook them up, swirled them around, then had H-Bomb pick one piece of paper out of the bowl above his head...

And the Lucky Winner is:

#2, Cheryl, who said, "Hmmm, the possibilities are endless but I'm thinking dessert - Sour Cream or Yogurt Coffee cake - it looks deep enough to serve a chicken or pasta dish as well. Maybe Martha's One pot chicken & brown rice."

Congratulations, Cheryl!
Contact me to claim your prize!
I'm soooo looking forward to a coffee cake and/or chicken or pasta served on a lovely platter!

Sorry, contest is closed!
Thanks to everyone who entered!!

I was approached by Sean at CSN stores, who asked if I'd like to review a product for them or host a giveaway on the blog. As hard as it was to turn down something new for MY kitchen, I thought it would be more fun to give you all a chance to WIN something for YOUR kitchen!

The amount of products CSN stores offers is staggering...featuring everything from counter stools to chandeliers, grills to swing sets, on over 200 different websites, they have it all!


We have some counter stools very similar to these surrounding the new bar in our kitchen, and we actually purchased our kitchen pendant lights from CSN. Who knew someday I'd get to share this company with you!

As difficult as it was to narrow down a product to giveaway here, I stuck with cookware. A weakness of mine is serve ware, so that's where I headed. Serving bowls, platters~even everyday food looks great if it's served on a nice dish.

I chose something that I would want to have and use in my home (actually took a poll of a few close friends to help with the decision!) to give to you~ a beautiful serving tray!


In addition to being lovely, this tray is 13" in diameter, with built-in handles. It's made of authentic European stoneware, using a traditional hand-painted technique known as Bunzlauer. Tiny sponges saturated with food-safe ceramic paint are hand stamped on pre-fired pieces. The process often requires over 10 types of sponges for each item.


The pieces are then covered with lead-free glazes and fired at 2200°F, assuring long-lasting beauty and protection. Durability and resistance permit safe microwave, oven, and dishwasher use, as well as resistance to chipping.

Would you like to win this serving tray?

1. Just leave a comment to tell me what you'd serve on it if I were coming over for dinner!

Good luck to all!
