The SG Notebook

This is a vacation week around here and I forgot to say things would be a bit slow for most of the week. Hope all is well with you who stop by. We’ll be back soon!

I got an ad in the mail about this magazine and went to its website to check it out. I thought it looks interesting, perhaps my kind of magazine. I don’t have as much time these days, but some years back I would have jumped at this, as its creator, Sandra Lee, apparently features lots of neat ideas for decorating cheaply with unusual materials found around the house. Also, there are interesting menu ideas. The ad stated that each issue contains some sort of feature on creating your favorite restaurant recipes at home. That also may be something I would like.

I’m passing this info on because it sounds like a good idea for a gift! Go here for more information and see what you think. You may even want it for yourself. Hint, hint to hubby, daughter, or sister for Christmas.;)

Blessings,
Maxine

Isn’t that a nice name for a table setting? Actually, it’s a nice name for anything. I wanted to share with everyone, and especially brides, that DaySpring is having a sale on their Ever Grateful 4 piece Wasabi place Setting, which I think is absolutely charming. But then, I’m partial to taupe and beige things, whatever they may be. So practical and useful, with a beauty that fits into any situation, I thought you’d like to take a look at this DaySpring collection, just in case it’s of interest to you. Go to their site and see what you think.

Ever Grateful products have inspirational messages! That’s right up our alley, here at SG.

What a nice gift this would make! I don’t think DaySpring has a gift registry, but maybe there is a way you brides could figure out a way to let it be known if you’re interested in this collection.

Enjoy,
Maxine
