(I don't know why this is showing 1 to 100 when I cut and paste it.  On my computer it clearly shows 1 - 40.  This was a tricky little thing to cut and paste and it is messing up all the spacing on this post.  If anyone knows why it is doing this - all feedback is appreciated.  I have no idea why there are such big gaps between paragraphs in this post).

Anyway, the great news is - we have a second winner!  Yes - I was so excited to see 40 entries...trust me - 40 comments is A LOT for my little blog....so I added on a second gift...which is this another gorgeous coastal inspired tray....And that goes to one of my fellow Floridian's Diane, from Lavender Dreams.

and I hope you enjoy your trays. 

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Celebrating 200 Likes...

What better way to celebrate reaching 200 "Likes" on my Facebook page than a little coastal giveway for your summer entertaining.  All you have to do is leave a comment letting me know what your favorite summer dish is. 

This is a vibrant blue dish - that will go perfect on your summer tabletop.  When I spotted this in one of my favorite stores last week -  I knew that this would be a perfect way to celebrate reaching this milestone.  

I will announce the winner on Friday, May 20th.  Good luck.

The Ultimate Kitchen....

Hope your having a wonderful Monday.  Thought I'd share some of my favorite kitchen photos from Country Living's Ultimate Guide to Kitchen Decorating.   

The ultimate Farmhouse Sink!!

Wish I had a kitchen door to turn
into a chalkboard.

Open shelves look terrific in this farmhouse kitchen.

The splash of yellow and marble countertops
are my favorite touches.

What's there not to love in this kitchen?

Looks amazing to cook in. 

The lower cabinet doors in glass
 are an interesting feature. 

Soft and pretty colors. 

I think my favorite is the first one with the wonderful sink.  But it's almost a tie because I really love the vintage one (5th photo) with the amazing red stove.  Which one do you like best?

Vintage Canisters for a Coastal Cottage Kitchen

I've spent the last few days searching for a set of vintage canisters for my kitchen.  I initially wanted aluminum...because my appliances are stainless - but now, I'm not so sure.  What I didn't realize is how many great, flawless (for vintage) canisters there are out there to choose from!

With that - I thought I would share some of my favorites - I'm gonna have to make up my mind on which set I want soon.  Which one is your favorite?
