Williams Sonoma Sponsored Post: $150 gift certificate giveaway
It’s no secret just how much I love Williams-Sonoma. It was the first place my husband and I registered, and it’s a place we still love to shop. So, I’m glad to be able to give one of you a $150.00 gift card!
I’m a big fan of keeping things classic in the kitchen. We have all sorts of whiteware and all of our appliances are either white or stainless steel. It makes mixing and matching very easy, and it keeps everything looking clean! That’s why I love the look of look of the classic, everyday Williams-Sonoma pantry dinnerware; beautiful, well-crafted Laguiole flatware; and the Picardie glass tumblers.
The one color we have added here and there in our kitchen is the beautiful Creuset lemongrass (shown above); we use our dutch oven and grill pan more than I can tell you! My other faves that are on constant duty in my kitchen are the microplane rasp grater and the pretty Pillivuyt Rectangular Baker.
I’d love to hear more about your favorites and to give each of you a chance to win a $150.00 gift card. Here’s how you can enter. First, visit Williams-Sonoma and create your registry. Then, come back here and leave a comment, letting me know that you’ve created your registry and telling me about your favorite item on your registry. If you’ve already created a registry, just add one more item to your registry, then leave me a comment mentioning what you added. This contest is open to anyone with a *wedding* registry. The contest ends on 3/7 at 5 PM EST. The randomly selected winner will be announced on 3/8. Good luck!
