And, just to round things out, we're providing you with some inspirational reading materials too. Copies of Decorate, The Liberty Book of Home Sewing, It's Lonely in the Modern World, Open Studios with Lotta Jansdotter, and Nomad will soon be gracing your shelves.

So, not you're probably wondering how to enter huh? Well, my dears, you get not one, not two but FIVE ways to enter to win this little contest because every editor (Crystal, Anne, Bri and I) are asking you to answer a different question in our comments section as your entry. Here's mine:

If you could give one gift from the Rue Holiday Issue Gift Guides, what would it be??

And for an extra entry, tweet this little phrase: "I wanna win the $2k @RueMagazine holiday giveaway!" with a link back to this post. That's it! Now go do a little blog hopping, and Rue reading. The winner will be drawn next Wednesday! Good luck.

LET'S TALK (AND TWEET!) TABLETOPS

I feel like I've been tabletopping like crazy lately. It starts in October with my birthday, then Thanksgiving, of course Christmas, and then there's New Year's... needless to say, it's not always easy to keep fresh ideas coming.

It also gets a bit challenging to use the same pieces in my cupboard over and over in new ways. Which is why I was thrilled when T.J.Maxx/Marshalls offered me the chance to do a little shopping for my Christmas table!

Department store prices for a totally new tabletop would probably get me as far as a set of new dinner dishes. If that. A couple of hours in my local T.J.Maxx, and I came away with a set of four dinner, salad and dessert dishes, new champagne flutes, and a mercury glass vase for the table...

As well as some decor that I could use on the table or buffet. This sequined nutcracker might be my new favorite addition! And let's not forget parting gifts for guests - always a must! The perfect packaging on these hot chocolate tins means all they need is a little ribbon to finish them off...

So here it is - the beginnings of my table inspiration. The Kate Spade dessert plates (on top) sparked my plan for metallics mixed with a pop of Tiffany blue. While I've been gravitating towards gold lately, the silver in the china made me think mercury glass, so I'm hoping to mix the trees into the table too ...

Oh, and did I mention that I snagged a white herringbone tablecloth? Yep. And all of this for under $150. With brand names like Kate Spade and Lenox? You've got to be kidding me. I honestly had no idea that I'd find such quality pieces for so little. (And yes I know I sound like a commercial, but it's true!)

So now it's time to put it all together and I'd love your help! Since we're talking so much tabletop around here, I thought I'd invite you all to a Twitter party tomorrow at 5pm PST / 8pm EST for the chance to win a $100 certificate to do a little of your own shopping at TJ Maxx or Marshalls!

I'd love to hear your ideas on how you'd set up my table using these pieces, your own tabletop challenges and successes this season (bring your photos!), and how you'd use the $100 to give your tabletop an update. (Maybe you need some fancy new flatware, are ready to replace your hand-me-down dishes or could use some festive decor?) Follow me at @casslavalle and use the hashtag #MarshallsTJMaxx. I'll see you on twitter tomorrow!

GIVEAWAY! $100 FOR HOLIDAY CARDS AT TINY PRINTS

Last year the holidays really snuck up on me (as in, nobody even got a Christmas card) so this year I've been determined not to let that last minute shopping, card sending, party throwing and cookie baking wait until the week before Christmas. Thank goodness for Tiny Prints.
With a list a mile long of friends and acquaintances who have come into my life this year through coco+kelley, there was no way I was going to be able to hand write every card! So, I quickly hopped on the Tiny Prints site to see what they had to offer... and found this beautifully simple card.

In the perfect coco+kelley green. Even better yet was the level of personalization offered on this design so I could make it say anything (and everything) I wanted it to! It was quick and easy. A proof was sent in the next few days. I approved it. And they arrived on my doorstep later that week. I suppose the only downside now will be addressing all these gorgeous cards!

I know many of you out there are just as busy as I am, and I know you'll love the variety of design options that Tiny Prints has to offer, so we're giving you the chance to win $100 towards your holiday order!

I spent an hour last night combing through all the options, and these are just a few of my faves, but there are also some super fun invitiations, address labels and gift tags to be had as well! Ready to enter yet?

Alrighty then - you know the drill. Head  over to the Tiny Prints site and then come back here to leave a comment letting us know which design is your favorite and what you'd be spending that $100 on! The winner will be drawn in one week!

GIVEAWAY: COCOCOZY THROW AND PILLOW!

Cococozy and I decided it was time to set the record straight (or confuse you even more) by getting together and doing a little giveaway! First off - we are not the same person, or same company - but we do adore each other! So, in support of our little friendship, and Coco's new gorgeous line of textile goods, I'm here today to share some of her pretty pieces with you!

Her fresh graphic prints are right up my alley, and I've already added her gate throw (in orange) to my own home! I can't even tell you how excited I am about her curtains too - I've just chosen one set for a client's home, and hope to use many more of her pieces in projects.

And since we bloggers love to share (and as interior designers, love to decorate!) we want to give YOU the chance to win your own piece to bring home! (Just promise to share some photos with us!). We'll be giving away the gate throw in navy, and a quatrefoil pillow in brown to two separate winners.

All you have to do to enter is head over to the cococozy shop and check out the fabulous textiles. Come back and leave us a comment letting us know your favorites, and don't forget to leave your email! For extra entries, tweet the link to this post and copy us both (@casslavalle and @cococozy) so we can track your tweets.

The contest will run for one week and we'll select two lucky winners next Wednesday. Good luck!!

SLEEP TIGHT... (A GIVEAWAY FROM SELECT COMFORT!)

Being the busy gal that I am, having a super comfy bed and a good night's sleep is essential to my sanity, so when the lovely people at Select Comfort came to me a few months ago to see if I'd be interested in testing out a new mattress, I jumped at the chance to bag my old one in favor of a Sleep Number bed! Well, I've had it about a month now and I'm definitely loving it.

It took about a week for me to find my favorite setting (I'm a number 45 at the moment) but it feels just like any other mattress, except for the lack of squeaky springs and bounce as the whole thing is filled with air to easily adjust to your preferences.

So, how many of you are ready to switch out your worn in mattress for a new one?? Maybe your significant other likes a little more firmness while you prefer soft? Hello, ideal bed!! Well, my dears, we are giving one lucky winner their very own Sleep Number bed, and here's what you need to do to enter! Follow this link over to the Sleep Number site and fill out the information requested (be sure to mention you heard about them through coco+kelley!) and cross your fingers! Yep. That's it. If you'd like to take it one step further, you can also follow them on Facebook, too!

Good luck!!
