Holiday Ready and a Give-a-way!

give-a-way
Give-a-way time!

 

The simple mention of the word “Holiday” strikes excitement and fear into our hearts at the same time. Most of us love the “Holidays” but dread the process of getting ready for them.

At a recent Lunch and Learn my fears were eased—at least a little—by the featured speaker John Grady Burns. John as just published a new book Home Celebrating Autumn & Winter, co-authored with his partners Jill Helmer and Kathy Stewart. Their book is full of fun creative ideas to help you truly celebrate the season—and they decorate with such ease and elegance that you can’t help but be inspired!

John also has a retail store named Nest and a B&B named Beekman Place in his native town of  Natchez, Mississippi. Maybe it is time for all of us to take a road trip to Natchez for the annual Natchez Pilgrimage Tours.

Today is your lucky day—it’s time for a Give-a-way! All you have to do is make a comment below then like us on Facebook and follow us in Instagram—easy! The winner will be announced on the blog on Wednesday November 1st and will receive a copy of the latest two books by the trio. GOOD LUCK!
