Hi and happy Sunday, notice my new banner for December? This is the one you chose but I will have this one up half of Dec. and the other one that was a neck in neck tie for the second half of December! Don’t know about you…..but  I am still recuperating from the Thanksgiving feast at the beach, worth every bite and calorie! Only bad thing about going away for Thanksgiving is there are no leftovers and we all know that is a pretty awesome perk, right? On the other hand, maybe its a blessing in disguise:)

I am looking forward to half of a lazy Sunday today, we are invited to someones house for dinner tonight but I actually plan on getting up to the attic and want to start sorting and “take inventory” of all the Christmas decor I have to see what needs to be replenished and what will work. I normally end up having way more than I realized…how about you, have you started to decorate yet? Hard to believe it’s December 1st, the countdown is on and in full swing…..going to be one crazy busy month!

So first things first…a very lucky winner of the gorgeous pair of Seda France pillows! Congratulations goes to…..

Result:

31

Thanks for introducing me to Seda France … I had no idea what I was missing! The double wick Jardin candle is so beautiful; I am ordering the ‘Holiday’ and ‘Currant Pourpre’ right now. And, those perfect Pagoda pillows, in brown, would make my heart sing!
Best,
Debbie Lane

Hi Tina, I love this line. I would choose 2 or 3. I only have one dough bowl and want a bigger one for the holidays to fill with greens and ornaments to put on my kitchen island but do love 3 too and could see getting a lot of use out of it as a great platter for cheeses and various appetizers. The whole line is just beautiful. Hope I win! Also love the new Christmas look on your blog.

Amy

I would choose the dough bowls. You can use them for so many things from filling them with ornaments to fresh fruit. Love the looks of them. Hope you have a wonderful week, Tina!

Holy Moly, spoiled for choice. I would take #3 and use it on my cooktop to hold my most used oils and spices (over top of the grill that we never use!). I love #8, but I need help with how I’d use it. It is just super appealing to me.

Good Morning Tina – They are all beautiful but I love the chucky wood pieces. I would pick number 3! Have a great day, the new header says Christmas to me!
~Tammy

I seriously need that geometric cutting board! Anyone who has seen either my current or last kitchen knows I have a thing for beveled arabesque tiles! This piece is just plain perfection. I would love to win one, otherwise…looks like another Christmas present for hubby to purchase! Heading over to FB for another chance to win!!

So many beautiful choices! # 11 is perfect..would love a good cutting board. I will be sorting through decorations as well. Thank you
for a great give away.

I love choice 5. I would use it in my kitchen when I have house guests. I would place mugs, various sugar and spoons on it so that everyone can help themselves in the morning.

I have already purchased one of your olive trays and I LOVE it! I would love to have the large round trivet. The whole line is absolutely stunning. Thank you for the chance to win!

Denise

Tina I love this line and am the proud owner of one of your beautiful dough bowls, I love #10 and #3 the new cutting boards and think I will have to give myself one for Christmas. They are so beautiful! I hope to win, thank you for the opportunity. Enjoy your Sunday.

Leslie

Hi!
I would choose #1, because I like the gorgeous rusticity ( is that a word?)! It would be extremely useful when friends and family come by to sample a wine , as I would have it heaped with fresh figs, pears, baguette slices, and cheeses, and nuts, local honey. Then, it would serve as a buffet height enhancer for something that needs highlighting!
Love your blog!

Janet H

I would choose No. 5 because it would be so multi-functional. I would use it mainly next to my cooktop to hold oils, etc. It certainly could be used in many other ways, including filled with candles and greenery for Christmas.

Hi Tina – Everything looks wonderful! I would pick either choice # 12 – a round bread bowl, or choice # 8 – a vintage grain measure – not for me, but for my lovely daughter-in-law who just completed a kitchen update. Either would fit perfectly into her redecorated kitchen.
Cindy

Hi, I also will be getting some Christmas decorations out and displayed. I couldn’t believe my ears when my husband initiated the idea – no sense in just looking at the proverbial “gift horse”!
Now, as far as the European items, I would choose number two because I have always wanted a dough bowl to display greens, fruits, etc. Thank you for having the give away and enjoy your day!

These are all great and utile pieces. My choice would be the antique dough bowl because I have nothing like it i can think of so many ways to use these. One idea I’d like to try is creating a “pot de fleurs” by planting it up with herbs for an indoor garden in the kitchen. Looks like your Thanksgiving weekend was really fun ! Kathy

These are beautiful! It would be such a hard decision but I’d choose #2, the antique dough bowl, because I would love to use it as a centerpiece on our kitchen table and change out its contents with each season – flowers in the Spring, something patriotic in the Summer, gourds in the Fall, something holiday in the Winter. I would love #7, too, for entertaining. I can imagine a carving board station on that curved beauty!! Gorgeous!

Well, this is VERY difficult! I think I would choose #6. But then I also love #1 & #9. What a wonderful giveaway, Tina!

Everything in this line is stunning, but I would choose one of the cutting boards from #6, #11, or #13. They just seem so versatile! Thanks for the opportunity for another give-away!

So many beautiful choices! As hard as it is I would choose #2 the 3 oblong wooden bowls. They are rustic and beautiful and so versatile. I envision these in my home on my kitchen island with colorful apples in them, I can see them on my kitchen table with fresh flowers draped in them, I see them on the table in my foyer with beautiful scented Christmas greenery and fresh oranges poked with fresh cloves, the possibilities are endless! And the best part since there are 3 of them I can eventually pass them down to my 3 daughters, 1 for each of them. I see these becoming a family heirloom, my daughters will always remember how mom incorporated them in the décor of their home for every changing season and every Christmas.

Oh my gosh, the quatrefoils!!! Choice #3 and #9 are absolutely stunning. Either would make a perfect Christmas gift for my mother, who has fabulous taste and adores kitchen accessories!

Choice #14, the cutting board, would motivate me to throw a holiday get together for my friends. I would use it to serve cheese, fruit and breads along with some festive garnish. Thanks for the opportunity.

These are all such beautiful beautiful choices! My absolute favorites would have to be 3 and 7. So perfect for lovely cheeses and fruit.
Thank you so much for the wonderful giveaway!
Joanna

I am so in to all these beautiful wood pieces lately too!! Just LOVE the chunky 3″ thick cutting board for myself and for gifts. But, I would say if I had to choose, it would be #2–the antique dough bowls. I would put a fat candle in a hurricane in the middle and then surround it with fresh pine and pinecones and some small antlers for a real warm/winter look and feel! I actually did that last Christmas for my coffee table and it was a big hit! Regards, Cindy

#3 is what I choose, I love the shape and thickness of it. So fabulous for holiday entertaining with cheese, fruit and wine!
Dana Munoz

Hi Tina! LOVE all the European trays and one can never have enough, right? 😉 I use them for entertaining and they look perfect stacked in the kitchen or near a fire place. Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

Oh my! What a difficult choice I would have! Each piece has a myriad of uses . . . I think I would choose #3 in the end. When not in use as a serving piece it would look beautiful on my kitchen counter, in my den, in my dining room, either with something on it or simply a stand alone piece to be admired. Thanks so much for a chance to win something so gorgeous!

I would love to win #2. It reminds me of the old dough bowls, and I can think of so many ways I could use it. All pieces are beautiful. Thanks for the chance.

These are all lovely choices but I would have to choose #3 for it’s beautiful shape. I am a huge admirer of the quatrefoil shape and this substantial piece of wood is quite spectacular!
Thanks Tina.

#7 would be my choice hands down! I have a thing for chunky cutting boards. I would just leave it on my counter to put plates and make sandwiches on. I like to use a cutting board instead of just putting something on the granite. I love to see the wood against the granite, so pretty.

Wow…they are all fabulous but the ones with the metal handles are great….#5 and #14. They are all fabulous.
Thank you for the opportunity!

It’s number 4! I’ve had my eye on them for a while!
I don’t cook much, but I can do cheese & crackers better than most. Number 4 would be perfect.

TINA THEY ARE ALL AMAZING. BUT I WOULD FIRST LIKE A DOUGH BOWL THEN THE #10 CUTTING BOARD WHICH WOULD DOUBLE AS A SERVING DISH FOR MY ENDLESS CHEESE AND CRACKERS SERVED THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS!

CAROL

I love #1—I can see using it with appetizers especially crostini as well as with grapes and cheese and salami. Your items are so beautiful and so “hand picked”. By the way, your “summer spaghetti recipe is a staple in our house—I have given that recipe out to so many people—crediting you of course! My name is Patti; [email protected]

It’s so hard to choose just one! I love the shapes of 6 and 13-perfect for use or display. Also can’t wait to see your gorgeous home decorated for the holidays…please share lots of photos!

I love #2 ! I have been wanting these for sometime. Thanks for the chance. Heading to facebook now. Thanks for the giveaways. Always excited to see what is next.

Please count me in, would love to win and if i dont then I will treat myself to one of the new carving/cutting boards..they are so beautiful and would double as great platforms for antipasti displays and cheese/crudites arrangements. Great line Tina.

Emily

My choice would be #3…that gorgeous cutting board! But, I would simply use it for display! Thanks for the opportunity! 😉

Good morning Tina!! First of all, I love my dough bowl!! It is so versatile to use with the different seasons. So, of course my first choice would be #2,but my 2nd choice would be # 8. My daughter and son-in-law just bought their first home and both would look beautiful in their kitchen or to use for entertaining!!.

Can’t make up my mind…. it would either be #1 or #7. All of them are simply beautiful.
Thanks for another great contest.

Carol Ann Nelson

Choice 2- any budding antique lover has to have a few dough bowls. I’m hoping to take the plunge myself soon and will look to your shop first. Thank you! Taylor Dickinson

If I was fortunate enough to win this fabulous giveaway, I would choose the 3″ trivet. As for which would you choose, I would choose choice 2, the dough bowls. Love them and there is so much one can do with them.
Linda

I absolutely adore the quatrefoil shape of No. 3. It is probably my favourite geometric shape and I would just love to have a quatrefoil pond in my front garden. To use the lovely quatrefoil board, I would adorn it with our local artisan corn cob loaf, a lovely golden oval mound of deliciousness that my family is addicted to, and a bread knife so we can carve off slices to eat with platters of meats and antipastos for a casual summer lunch on the terrace. Being an Australian, Summer is now upon us and many such lunches will accompany long hot days in the months to come.

I already have one of your dough bowl which I looooove. I could probably use another, although I think that #4 would be perfect for the tapas party I am having next Saturday night. Thanks Tina! Joan

I LOVE Choice 14 – It’s hard to find an attractive cutting board with handles. I’ve been wanting one that I can hang by my sink for all those cutting chores that are best done near a sink!

I love, love #3 and have been dreaming of it ever since you first did a blog showing us these beautiful butcher block items! I’ve been trying to figure out how to squeeze out my piggy bank to buy #3! It would be just wonderful to win any one of these items. Out of the two you are offering for a prize, I would very much enjoy the butcher block cutting board! Your store is fabulous – so many beauties!

So hard to choose, I love the trivet, I love the olive trays, and the dough bowls just make me smile! The olive trays are wonderful, I can see them on my coffee table for hors d’oeuvres! Thanks so much for a chance to win one of your gorgeous finds!, marlis

I just love number 1. Love those little feet. I would leave this out on my island to showcase something different each season. And of course I would use it for cheese and various canapes.

this is a clever clever spin on your which would you choose theme, tina! i love no. 1!

felt so good to do nothing all day today. i get an A+ for that.

michele

Love the new banner for December – especially the image with the cedar wreath and champagne {what’s not to like there}.
The combination of wood boards in number 6 is my favourite – they look very old world.

It’s a great collection.

Choice 12 spoke to me…called out my name, actually. These are all great plus some really nice new additions to your store!

I love them all,especially the dough bowls. Also,really like the round bread bowls. They would look great filled with Christmas balls and greens.

All are wonderful Tina! #3 would be my choice for serving a selection of cheeses; although each and every one would be used in my home.
Your boutique has the best of the best Tina!

Hi Tina- it’s a really tough choice, but I think I would go with Choice 14. I think it would be great for a cheese board with some fresh grapes and smoked almonds alongside. Thanks!!

I would choose the dough bowls because they are so beautiful and versatile. You can change them out with the seasons and they always gorgeous.
Joelle

Definitely, the dough bowls, number 2, would be my choice. Lovely post, as usual. Shawna B

As usual your blog and online shop gets my heart racing and my imagination running on over time! I adore #2 the dough bowls! I can come up with about 15 different ways to use them in 15 minutes time.

Thank you for the give away. I would choose #8. They would be cute on a table and filled seasonally. -Rachel

I choose #7, love the heftiness and the shape! Wooden cutting boards are such a favorite of mine, each one has a history in my kitchen. They all seem to take on a personality of their own. 🙂

I love choice #2 or #7. I would love to win one. Wooden Dough are my favorite thing. They would look terrific in my kitchen. They all have personalities of their own. Faith B.

Omigosh Tina, these are all so pretty and unique. I love #7 as it’s so multifunctional and I’d love to use it in my mountain log cabin! Alicia M.

#3 & #5 would have to be my choice but it’s like having to choose publicly which is your favorite child! I love them all!!!

What a very generous giveaway. For myself definitely #9 love the shape. My daughter says #10 modern and industrial. Thank you Vickie

Dear Tina,

I would choose #3. I would use to serve cut up vegetables and dip in a stuffed pepper. Thanks for the great blog.
Trudi R.

So that is why I can’t find a dough bowl anywhere. Everyone wants one! I’d love a #2 also, since I’ve been looking for months for one. Why don’t I buy one of yours? Because I’m picky and want to pick the exact bowl to purchase. But, I’ll take a free one if you pick me! Thanks for all your lovely posts. Cindy from Wheeling

My favorite would be #7 loaded with cheese, crackers, hummus, and fruit. Next to it would be several selections of delicious wine! Happy Holidays!!
Susan N.

I would love (and use) all of them! my favorite is the dough bowls, I would them in my kitchen with fresh fruit (and greens) for each season, would also look amazing in a bathroom with towels rolled up. so many ways to use these.

Tina love 3 or 10, the new cutting boards, perfect for cheese displays or just to have for decor in my kitchen. If I do not win think I deserve to treat myself to one! They are beautiful and I love your inventory for your shop, very elegant and great prices too. Happy holidays Tina.

Mimi

Absolutely love the geometric serving board! Would use it in center of rectangular table as you have shown displaying grapes, cheeses, etc. or low arrangements of herbs and/or wildflowers. It would also work on a rustic serving table (inside or out) to serve cheese and crackers, bowls of crudite, sliced breads, focacia and a zillion other yummy things. It’s also perfect for all four seasons!

Choice 1! It will provide some height variegation to the buffet table. (and I have already ordered one…)
Merry Christmas!
Nancy S.

Tina, So hard to decide on just one….However, I would choose #3 (times 2), one for myself, and one for my Beautiful daughter’s Hope Chest as she has just announced her wedding date 12-13-14. Love them all though. Susan O-S

I would love to use Choice 5 as a multi-purpose accent in my kitchen. I’d use is every day as a place to showcase my oils, vinegars and spices next to the stove, and I’d use it for parties as a cheese serving board. I love all the pieces in this line! Thanks for the great giveaway! JuliaW cre8tivew4ATyahooDOTcom

All are wonderful choices. My favorite would be #8. These would be beautiful with decorated gingerbread men in one and candycanes dipped in chocolate in the other. Merry Merry Christmas Tina!

They are all so beautiful and unique in their own way but I would choose # 2 to put seasonal items in all year long and place in the center of my kitchen island. Greens and pinecones with small battery string lights, honeysuckle, lemons. The options are endless. – Robyn Z.

I am absolutely crazy about #1 – I would be just as happy serving cheeses from it as I would be displaying my favorite teapot/sugar and creamer on it. It’s just fab!!!

I really enjoy reading your blog, so glad I discovered it! I love all the items. Since I’ve been looking for a dough bowl lately, I would choose #2. It woud look really nice filled with greens, pinecones and ornaments on my family room coffee table. – Melanie

Definately one of the cutting boards. I love and use cutting boards all the time and good wooden ones are now harder to find. # 6, 7 or 13 (at least I think those are the numbers of wooden boards) I do like the sets of three. I’d be happy to win one and that you can take to the bank. Smile!
With gratitude,
Sylvia Faye

Tina,
All of the items are beautiful. I would choose #7 and use it to display gluten free appetizers when entertaining.
Many thanks,
Sharon

Tina,

I choose #2 – the dough bowls. I can imagine them filled with apples or pine cones, or christmas ornaments or Easter eggs or. . .
