Tuesday at the Table

After a week's vacation, returning to a busy work week, and then being down with a nasty cold for several days . . . well very little sewing has gotten done, and very nearly zero cooking. Especially the days I was home not feeling well, hubby thankfully took charge in the kitchen, which is so not his norm. But he did a fine job providing appropriate comfort food, including grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, eggs, an occasional sweet, and plenty and varied fluids. In short, today's post will be short and sweet.

While on vacation, we stayed at B&B's for a few nights, and it was a real treat waking up to gourmet breakfasts each morning. I'm an odd one, and took photos of the menus with my phone.

  

Luckily, I was able to find the recipe for one of my favorite breakfast entrees online! It's that French Toast Avignon up on the first menu. Find it here. (Ours was crispy on top and I'm wondering if they sprinkled them with sugar before flipping to cook that side - ?) I'll be trying that recipe out on my family one of these days, to be sure.

Every breakfast was super tasty, but I also really loved seeing our hostess press fresh tortillas for the Huevos Rancheros - oh my!

Anyway, I also wanted to share that I finally put together a little linky give-away for this month - a short fat-quarter stack of Denyse Schmidt's Chicopee.

I confess I chose my favorite colors and prints from the line, but sure hope you like them too!

What do you have to share from your table?? Link up here!

An {herbal} Table Tidbit :: The Prize

Well we are half-way through the month-long Tuesday at the {herbal} Table feature. Just link up a recipe or a table project or something else relating to The Table. If it's herbal, great, but it doesn't have to be - 
that's just a suggestion if you want one! The linky will be open through Wednesday, August 29. Later that week, I'll choose one random winner from all of the link-ups this month. 

So here are the super fun goodies in this month's prize package for that one random winner!

First off, zipit has offered a $20 gift certificate to their shop! These are just awesome zips - the only ones I've used since I've started blogging. Zipit has super bundles and a rainbow of colors - perfect to have in your stash, so they're there when you need them!

Pink Chalk Fabrics also has given a $20 gift certificate to their shop! I consider this my 'local' online fabric store, but they have alot more than just {the latest!} fabric. Shipping turnaround is super-quick and their customer service is awesome.

And, since this is a foodie feature after, all, I'm pleased that Alice of Savory Sweet Life has shared a copy of her new book! It's beautiful, and chock full of inviting recipes "for every family occasion."  I made a yummy Cobb Salad from it the other night, and you can see I have tabs marked in my copy of what to try next!

So are you tempted? I sure hope so! Come on, share that recipe you've made, the one you want to make, those napkins or placemats you've stitched up, or tell us about how fun your last cookout was! Join in and share around the table!

A {picnic} Table Tidbit :: The Prize

Once again, I'm a little slow on posting about the prize for the Tuesday at the {picnic} Table link-up. The initial {picnic} post is here, and that is where you'll link up all through July. Just link up a recipe or anything else related to the table, and if it's from the picnic table, all the better! The linky will be open through Tuesday, July 31. On Wednesday, August 1, I'll choose one random winner from all of the link-ups.

Now on to the prize for that winner! First off, Kate Spain's new line, Cuzco, just really struck my fancy! So I have two charm packs of this colorful, versatile line. Pretty cool to have found these and a few other upcoming lines at CharmPacksPlus.

And to encourage you with all your bag-making, there's some twill tape from pinked fabrics. When Amy heard I was buying the tape for a giveaway, she gracious threw in 2 yards each of yellow and pink as well as the colors I had ordered! So all told, there's 12 yards of tape - easily enough for several bags!

Lastly, when I ordered myself "The Binding Tool", I ordered an extra to include in this giveaway. So we'll figure out together how to use this thing, ok?

 

So there you go . . . I'm excited to see what you share from your picnic table!

A {summer} Table Tidbit :: The Prize

It seems high time to have a little Tuesday at the {summer} Table prize post, don't you think? All the details about this celebration of the summer table can be found here. (Basically, link up a recipe or anything else related to the table!) The linky will be open through Thursday, June 28 Wednesday, June 27. On Friday, June 29 Thursday, June 28, I'll choose one random winner from all of the link-ups on the June 5 post HERE. And if you missed last Tuesday's post, feel free to link up before next Tuesday rolls around!

Meanwhile, the prize for one lucky winner will include:

2 large potholders made with Malka Dubrawsky's "A Stitch in Color"

 A Salt Sampler from my favorite salt store

A multi pack of Frixion marking pens (iron the marks away - awesome!)

 15 zippers from my Zip-It stash . . . 10-7" zips and 5-14"

Hope you join in the summer fun at Tuesday at the {summer} Table!

Revised link closure dates - sorry for my miscalculation when creating the linky!
