We have a winner!!!!!

 This is such a nice book!

this was her pink peony dessert party

Some of the reviews said that there wasn't enough actual party planning information,  just a bunch of pretty pictures!

Wow

how could you not be inspired

 her vintage bento trays from Japan

 Look at this table !!!!!

set for guests for the book launch

 lunch

 all white hors d'oeuvres...what a great idea

 remember her first entertaining book and her kitchen?

it looks so 80's but it is still inspiring 

 and then she remodeled

she kept the copper and the pot rack

 but everything else is new

 she is the queen of organization...at least that's what she wants us to believe

 how many people have copied her

 "detergent in a pretty jar with a stopper" idea?

I know I have!

 I really love her kitchens

 the food styling is really superb too

 the colors are always so interesting 

I love this rolling cart!

so can you guess who won the book?

it's comment #41

Dianne Ballard!

congratulations

She wrote that she likes the blog because she gets

"the good, the bad and the ugly/pretty"

I hope she is referring to my composter 

which is very ugly/pretty

Oh and speaking of composters, here is a tip:

If you know it is going to rain, leave the composter lid open 

so your compost gets a good soaking of  water!  

Saves time and money

thank you all so much for the wonderful comments...

they were so kind and I think I know a bit more about my readers too

You are the best....ever
