Cheers!

We have a number of toasts to make here at Splendid Market, so please pour yourself your favorite libation…
First of all, we were thrilled to have one of our notions included in a fantastic piece on summer entertaining tips in Ladies Home Journal {to read the complete piece click on LHJ}.
Here is what they wrote about moi:
“Emily Heston, creator of the Splendid Market blog, likes to set up a “bar” for the younger set where they can concoct their own (alcohol-free!) libations. Put out a variety of sodas and juices, plus garnishes like olives, orange slices, lemon and lime wedges, celery, grenadine and maraschino cherries. Heston also provides fun straws, cocktail umbrellas, and toothpicks. “It’s a great icebreaker for the kids and they enjoy the chance to be creative and make something just how they like it,” the mom of two says.”
How nice, here’s to you, Ladies Home Journal!
To celebrate, we are going to have a giveaway!  We will be giving away a Splendid Market tote, 2 boxes of SM matches and a set of post~it notes to 3 randomly chosen splendid readers.

Here are the 3 little steps you need to take to be included in the drawing:
