Enter My Entertain in Style Recipe Contest for a Chance to Win:

~ Vintage Silver Bon Bon Dish from Reed & Barton, courtesy of Silver Magpies (value $175). Have you visited Silver Magpies yet? Nancy’s passion for vintage silver is contagious! I especially love that she makes a point to dine with silver as a family in everyday life. I hope you’ll get to know her via Twitter or her blog. She also has many wonderful vintage silver items for sale in her etsy shop. I’ll also be sharing a few of her vintage silver finds and tips on my blog soon.

~ Dinner in Paris apron from The Hip Hostess (value $36). This elegant apron is so stylish you won’t want to take it off! Whether you make it, bake it or fake it, a Hip Hostess apron will positively change your domestic attitude! Mixing fresh fabrics with clean design and functional style flat out moves a little “hip” into your kitchen. No matter what you’re cooking up, Dinner for Eight or Gourmet “To Go”, Hip Hostess has an apron that’s just your style!

~ The Reluctant Entertainer: Every Woman’s Guide to Simple and Gracious Hospitality by Sandy Coughlin (value $14). The Reluctant Entertainer offers both inspiration and practical guidance to people who are reluctant to entertain. She calls it entertaining for real people.
