by linen & lavender

What do you think you might select?

Maybe a Beta-Plus book with hundreds

of ideas for creating your dream kitchen?

Compendium: KITCHENS

You could get that hefty book and still have enough left to get these charming glass jars. I was wishing for more of these the other day to store my freshly-made pesto.

Italian Recycled Glass Jars

Hmm. Or you could get several CD's with that amount

—or download one hundred of your favorite songs!

Comme Si De Rien N'Etait

-or-

There's a panini press by All-Clad I've admired.

All-Clad Panini Pan with Press

Or, -it's a little off the beaten path-

but I've even included a few gourmet food items in the emporium.

Oh, I know! Here's a treat you can splurge on...Hazelnut Graham Crackers (organic. –no less.)

Organic Hazelnut Graham Crackers

I've tried them with a lemon dessert cheese...H e a v e n l y!

A sparkling wine and you're all set for a summer evening with friends.

White Stilton with Lemon Peel

Of course, books are always a treat as far as I'm concerned. There's a bevy of home and garden books in the emporium, but also a few books of poetry, philosophy, fiction...or how about a beautiful cookbook like this one?...

Country Cooking of France

-or-

You'd even have enough for a 1 year subscription

to the French edition of ELLE Decoration:

Elle Decoration - French Edition

Or you know what?...

How about a book that will help you plan

your next trip to Europe...

Maybe a trip to the Amalfi Coast this year?

Great Escapes Italy

And if you are like me and would only want to be seen on Italy's shores looking toned and swimsuit-ready, you might want to throw in something like this...

Flow Yoga by Shiva Rea

Hmm. So many things. It's hard for me to choose. I certainly wish the $100 gift card recipient the best of luck in making their selection(s). It's not going to be easy!

Oh, you know what?

I just remembered.

I haven't even notified the winner yet!

I guess I'll do that now.

(Drum roll please)
