Remember the Andrea’s Beau giveaway I ran on The Big Piece of Cake several months ago?

Well – they have offered my readers a 15% discount on their holiday shopping for the next two weeks!

There are so many styles to choose from for both women:




And for girls:



Just enter “asgoodascake” as the discount code at check out. The 15% discount will only apply to purchases of $30 or more (not including shipping) and the discount will be reflected in your billing statement – just not right away at check out (so don’t panic if you don’t see it – if you have any issues, let me know and I’ll contact Andrea). This discount is good through Wednesday, December 16.

Thanks Andrea!

Great Gift for a Book Lover

I LOVE Jane Mount’s bookshelf paintings. Each one is like a little jewel and I want to own ALL of them.




I checked her Etsy shop and the prints are only $25. Put one in a frame and it’s a unique gift for the holidays (or just a unique piece to display in your own home).

AND if you have a little extra money to spend, she does custom paintings. I think I’d like to have one made for my daughter of all the books I loved and would love for her to read. How sweet for a nursery! So many ideas here…

I recently stumbled across the Harvey Faircloth Fall 2009 collection and I was quite taken with the lines and styling:








The mix of loose draping and sharp tailoring reminds me of the better side of ’80s fashion. Which I think was strongly influenced by styles in the ’40s…

I love how fashion is so cyclical. You can almost predict what you’ll be seeing in 10 or 20 years. The question is “how” you’ll be seeing it. The designers’ interpretation is what makes it new and exciting.

More Red

I recently mentioned how much I’m loving the look of one bright red piece in a room.

While I can’t afford a new piece of furniture anytime soon, this lovely butterfly that Ish & Chi makes in Amy Butler fabric would be a more affordable option.




For $25, this original cut paper piece (it’s not a print) would make a great holiday gift. And it comes in other patters too.




Could make a sweet little series above a bed or crib, along a hallway wall, in a cozy corner…

Dash & Albert Rug Giveaway from Style Key West

Today’s giveaway over at As Good As Cake was supposed to take place on Wednesday, but had to be postponed due to my lack of a computer. Well, better late than never!

The sponsor, Style Key West is my parent’s home furnishings shop in – you guessed it – Key West.

Since I couldn’t ask them to give away a couch (although it did cross my mind), I picked something easier to ship: a Dash & Albert rug bag.

Dash & Albert is a rug line that Style Key West carries. Other Dash & Albert products include pillows, throws and rug bags, all from the same cotton in a wide array of stripe patterns.

The winner of this giveaway will receive a bag of their choice from the following six options:


While this was supposed to be a staged picture that gives a clear view of the styles, it’s still a little hard to see. Closeup images and further details on how to enter can be found on As Good As Cake today! Good Luck…
