Sandra Lee, New York City...and ME! #bySandraLee

When I got married, it hit me....

I might have to cook...
for someone other than myself.

I had no idea what I was doing.

I knew how to cook veggies...

but that did not make hubby all that happy...

I thought surely he would starve...

and then I saw I bought Sandra Lee's Semi Homemade Cookbook,

and I thought "Hey, I can do that!"

I never would have guessed that {a few} years later I would have the opportunity to meet Sandra Lee and participate in her Summer Carnival in New York City as she launches her Sandra by Sandra Lee home collection in Sears and Kmart

Yes, that is right....I am heading to New York!

I have watched Sandra on the Food Network and her HGTV specials...

and have enjoyed her magazine for a long time.

I being inspired by how Sandra can create magic

and entertain with her trademark "70/30 Semi-Homemade."

I have a soft "spot" for anything polka dot

But, I must confess while I enjoy the recipes...what I really love is how she combines this aspect into all areas of entertaining and creates beautiful tablescapes and cocktails!

Oh yeah...pretty tablescapes and cocktails

(Had to say that twice...it is my favorite)

And now we can all have a little taste of Sandra's style in our homes with her Sandra by Sandra Lee home collection available at Sears and Kmart.

I have to tell you when I was designing my Spring/Easter tablescape this collection was just across the aisle and it was all I could do not to snatch it all up!

Here is a preview of what is in store...

Mini Casserole Dishes

Great Kitchen Necessities

How awesome is this sink cutting board?!

I am feeling the need for some new canister.

I could have such a pretty pantry.

Love this cheese grater

This scroll dinnerware is begging to find a home at my house.

I do think some bright and happy textile will make my kitchen smile (and me too)

How about some small appliances.

That is such a pretty crock pot...

I smell a chili cook off in my future!

I need to talk blenders too!

This is certainly one of my favorite pieces!

Pretty and elegant.

Is it too early to think about Christmas?

Of course not!

Here's a sneak peek at what Sandra has in store for the holidays!

So, what do you think? Pretty cool, eh?

I will have so much more to share with you when I return...

Until then you can follow along with what is happening

on twitter by following me 

and the hashtag #bysandralee

I started a fun Pinterest Board showcasing some of my favorite

Sandra by Sandra Lee products

and how they inspire some fun tablescapes.
