I have 100 followers!  Yay me!  Seeing your smiling faces in my sidebar makes me happy and to make your smile a little brighter, the folks over at CSN (featuring le creuset<\/a><\/u> cookware) have kindly offered a $60 gift card as a giveaway.  (If you aren\u2019t a follower yet, maybe this will entice you to become one!)<\/p>\n

I think most blog readers have heard of CSN<\/a> as they do a stand-up job of marketing their company to bloggers and graciously providing gift certificates for giveaways.  <\/p>\n

On a side note, did you happen to see the home of CSN\u2019s CEO and founder in the July 2010 issue of Better Homes and Garden<\/a>?  You can see some images of the family-friendly home decorated in red, white and blue here<\/a>.   <\/p>\n

\"csnhomebhgcrop\"<\/a>  The  Jonathan Adler Meurice Pendant, Saarinen dining table by Knoll and the Mademoiselle Chair with Missoni Fabric by Kartell are all available through the CSN network of 200 online sites.  Pretty impressive!.<\/p>\n

They offer a full range of products.  Everything from accessories like these pillows from Thomas Paul and Dwell Studio:<\/p>\n

\"csndwellstudio2\"

To area rugs like these jaunty ones from Dash and Albert:<\/p>\n

\"CSNdashandalbertcrop\"

To art work like this map, one of over 300 on the CSN site.  Room Remix did a wonderful post on decorating with maps here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"CSNmapcrop\"

Or lighting like this attractive Jonathan Adler ceiling mount: <\/p>\n

\"CSNJonathan

Do check out their sites to access a diverse range of products at various price points.<\/p>\n

To enter:<\/p>\n

1.  Become a follower<\/strong> and leave a comment to let me know.  If you are already a follower, simply leave a comment!<\/p>\n

For additional entries you can do any of the following:<\/p>\n

2. Post about this giveaway<\/strong> on your sidebar.<\/p>\n

3. Subscribe to my blog via email<\/strong> (see sidebar).  <\/p>\n

4.  Tweet<\/strong> about the giveaway.<\/p>\n

Please leave a comment for each entry as I am using random.org to pick a winner.<\/p>\n

The contest is open to readers in the US and Canada and will close on Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010 at midnight.  Good luck!<\/p>\n

(I\u2019m still confused about the different ways to read a blog:  become a follower, google reader and subscribe via email.  Are these all different people?  Even though I have 100 followers, there about 400 of you that follow, use google reader or subscribe via email.  Thank you for reading!!)<\/em><\/p>\n

(Oh, and I\u2019m on holidays this week, so posting will be minimal, or rather, non-existent.)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
