our christmas tree {+ a williams-sonoma GIVEAWAY!}

by Amy on 15 December 2011

the giveaway is closed. congratulations to lucky commenter #128, chung-ah!

i hope that all of you are having a happy holiday season so far! i know i’m definitely getting in the spirit. yesterday, my husband + i finally picked out our christmas tree, strung the lights on, + decorated it with cool, vintage-looking ornaments. despite the fact that it was almost 70 degrees here in nashville (definitely different from decembers growing up in boston!), it still got me feelin’ all holidayish + festive. + i think the tree looks just lovely in our living room – what do you think?

so, now that our tree is up + decorated, i’m feeling all sorts of festive + giving. what does that mean for you? a giveaway! one lucky reader will win a $50 gift card to williams-sonoma. and the best news? the gift card is redeemable at williams-sonoma stores OR online, so even if you don’t have a williams-sonoma in your town, you can still enter to win!

55 Renee December 15, 2011 at 3:32 pm

Hi Amy! I would use the gift card for a steel measuring cup set & cookie scooper (since I broke mine when I made cookies for the cookieswap)! Maybe some peppermint bark too or a Christmas item if anything is left over.

I really want one of those zoku popsicle makers

62 Renee December 15, 2011 at 3:54 pm

Your tree is lovely! I can’t believe you carried it home on your mini cooper. Your dog, skylar?, looks like such a sweetie pie.
Now, what would i spend that Williams-Sonoma gift card on? There are several (well many) things I have been eyeing in the store. I do need a new coffeemaker so that is on the top of the list. so pick me! pick me!

Already like your page on Facebook. Even so I would like to comment on what I would buy with the gift certificate as it was an easy choice – a new saute pan. Mine has seen better days and I am in need of brand new one.

71 Crystal December 15, 2011 at 4:20 pm

Oooh, I would get “The Great Cupcake Cake Pan”!

72 heather December 15, 2011 at 5:08 pm

I have ‘liked’ and love fearless homemaker. I would love the WS gift card….perhaps a new pizza stone and cutter? Merry Christmas.

I got a wish list. I will probably get an immersion blender that is at the top of my list. What a wonderful giveaway. Tweeting as well!!

77 Cathy December 15, 2011 at 6:02 pm

I’d use the gift card on madeleine pan so I can FINALLY try them!

I would love to use it towards a food processor. I can’t believe I have made it this long without one!

81 Tabitha December 15, 2011 at 6:18 pm

I need a digital scale for my macaron ingredients REALLY badly! So I’d get that!

82 Tabitha December 15, 2011 at 6:23 pm

The tree looks beautiful! I’d love to win this gift card… WS is my weakness. I was there the other day and used pretty good self restraint, but I really want their Farmer’s Market cookbook, as well as a ton of other goodies!

91 Sarah @ pão e queijo December 15, 2011 at 6:43 pm

I like Fearless Homemaker on Fb (as pão e queijo blog).

94 Mommyof2Girlz/StephD December 15, 2011 at 7:17 pm

Awesome tree! I would put the card toward more cookware…or maybe bakeware. Either way I can not have enough :)

95 Chris @ TheKeenanCookbook December 15, 2011 at 8:08 pm

Loving the Christmas tree! And love the fire going and the pup sitting there in the shot. So festive!

If I won the William Sonoma card I’d either buy a nice cast iron skillet or a recipe book.

96 sofia December 15, 2011 at 8:13 pm

ramekins. I want ’em!
