New Cheer for the Kitchen - And a Giveaway

{Welcome, friendly readers from Southern Hospitality!}

 Today I want to tell you about a couple new items that are making my kitchen feel very special indeed.

 Sister and I each picked out a set from the lovely variety available at Anthropologie with  unsuppressed glee, and my mum sweetly presented them to us for Christmas. 

For $5 a piece they add so much refreshing fun and color after years of my white Martha Stewart bowls for Kmart.

And I must say soup, cereal...any food for that matter tastes especially good in these little latte bowls.  Most of all I love using them for breakfast for a cheerful start to the day.

Second is this Anthro tea towel...which I gifted to myself. ; ) Having it out does wonders for my enthusiasm to keep a fresh, clean kitchen all. year. long.  Really it almost does. 

I love Ric-rac.

And see how helpfully it doubles as a calender!

So I was thinking you might like a 2012 tea towel/calender with Ric-rac, too?  {promise I'll send you a new towel, not my used wrinkly one} Perhaps some my favorite soap would pair with it nicely?  Time for a little Giveaway. : )

Leave a little comment to be entered.  I'll announce the happy winner next Friday. 

Happy Weekend to you, friend!
