That is the most beautiful knife I have ever seen. I'll bet it makes even the most mundane chopping awesome.

Wow, think of all the time I could save with this by using it instead of the iron. I would definitely use it on all of my husband's suits and shirts and the pieces I have that need ironing (the joy of working from home is the dress code rocks!). I also have these gorgeous drapes in my office that constantly get wrinkled, and I never iron the, so I would definitely steam them and my other window treatments. Wonderful prize--thanks!

When we got our wonderful dog, he was a six month old rescue with a horrible separation anxiety problem that went unsolved by us, behaviorists, and three vets. I came home one day to discover he had somehow trapped himself in our bedroom and had shredded a down comforter and two down pillows. He had also, in his panic, taken the entire top off our king-size mattress. After I got him settled down and cuddled and he had had a walk, I attacked the mess with a duster, broom and dustpan because I was afraid of burning out my vacuum with all the feathers. Then I vacuumed, laundered what could be saved, sewed the mattress top back on (it was only a month old), and remade the bed with different linens and an old non-down comforter. Then I figured out how to work from home, and we have lived happily and peacefully for over thirteen years. :)

I would put this gorgeous Flokati rug in my den so I could lie on it and scrunch my toes into it while I read or play with my dog.

Horizon 12 would be perfect in my funky little den!

Snickerdoodles. There is nothing better to me on a lazy Sunday afternoon than to curl up with my husband, dog, and a good book and to sip a good Lady Grey and munch on snickerdoodles.

When I have my noal weekday afternoon tea, though, I usually just have a slice of wheat toast with strawberry jam, and that is almost as yummy.

Oh, my, could I use this! I am starting a new job with long hours soon and coming home to dinner hot out of a Crock Pot sounds heavenly. I would start with chicken cacciatore or turkey chili or good old Irish stew or chicken noodle soup or barbecued ribs or minestrone. The possibilities are endless!

That is gorgeous and would be perfect in my newly sage bedroom. I took down the most hideous allpaper ever and am feeling darn proud of myself, but my current duvet cover just looks shabby in the freshly-painted room.

Tomato, mozzarella, basil, and onion on ciabatta is a classic for a reason. So delicious. From my childhood, I still love apple jelly and cheddar on white bread. When grilled, the apple and cheddar just meld. Great way to get an apple pie fix. Not healthy, but so good.

Cinnamon. I love stirring my coffee or hot cocoa with a cinnamon stick--it adds so much flavor.
