{Giveaway Alert!}

One of my favorite bogs, everything LEB, is offering yet another truly fabulous giveaway! Bar carts have been all over the blog world recently, maybe it is the approaching warm weather getting people excited for fun drinks? Whatever the reason, many blogs have been posting on bar cart inspiration lately.

I remember my parents bar cart from when I was younger. It was dark wood, with lots of faceted decanters and dark-colored liquors. I believe it had a shaker and maybe a few glasses on it; I really can't remember. It was definitely very different from the bar carts vignettes being created these days.

Design*Sponge dedicated an entire post to bar carts last June, showcasing how far the idea of a bar cart really has come, and how many options are out there.

Bar carts a great way to display unique items you may have picked up on your travels, and to showcase your talent for layering and creating a tabletop landscape. everything LEB's great giveaway is offering great pieces that can help to make any bar cart complete. Good luck!

{Blog Envy!}

As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am a huge follower of many blogs, most of them fashion, home decorating, cooking, and lifestyle related. I owe many thanks to the writers of the various blogs I read, as they have definitely been the biggest inspirations for me to create my own blog, and they continue to inspire me on a daily basis. I am always trying to find new blogs to follow, I like to call it "blog hunting." Cheesy, I know, but there is so much out there!

One of the blogs that I found while "hunting" awhile back and that I love checking in on every day is everything LEB. We have very similar tastes in home decor, so I always look forward to her postings. Not to mention, we have a shared love of leopard print, Anthropologie, and organizing! I would definitely recommend checking out this blog for some great inspiration.

everything LEB is hosting a great contest, lasting until tomorrow night, to win a beautiful blue notebook from Graphic Image. As if the beautiful posts on her blog weren't incentive enough, now there is even a prize involved!

Good luck, and happy blog hunting!
