Farmers’ Market Tote $76 – Vonny.com
A while back I discovered the fabulous Vonny Bags and have spent some time on their site lusting over a couple of their products- first, the Full-of-Pockets Farmers’ Market Tote. I own a plethora of canvas bags, many of which I use when shopping at the market on the weekends, but they aren’t exactly what I’d call the perfect shopping bag. But this tote? This is perfect.
With large exterior pockets that can hold delicate fruits and vegetables, and interior features like a cell phone pocket, colorful keychain holder, zip pockets to stash my cash and 4 metal feet on bottom to prevent the bag from getting dirty, it’s PERFECT I tell ya! Practical and downright cute too, what more could you ask for?
Then there are the Vonny Casserole Carriers. These things are hot, hot, hot! (or cold, cold, cold- depending on how you look at it). Completely insulated, they keep food hot or cold, and even have a snazzy exterior pocket to hold serving utensils. Over the past couple of months, I’ve attended a friend’s party, a tailgate, and a work potluck, and the casserole carrier would have come in really handy in transporting my food to and from all of them. For that reason I need one.
But then there is the other, less practical part of me that just wants one. I mean, c’mon, they are super chic! The very cool, hip design is what grabbed my attention in the first place. I have a bit of a “thing” for retro design, so from the moment I saw the funky circles and stripes, I’ve been infatuated. Apparently I’m not the only one that has had this same reaction. Over the past few days, so many media outlets (including Regis & Kelly) have featured this little gem as a holiday gift idea that they have flown off the shelves!! Most are on backorder until March, but don’t let that deter you from buying one to give to your special someone (hint, hint to my family). The website is still taking orders and even has a printable gift tag that features a photo of your casserole carrier of choice that you can give to the receiver to let them know they have a gift on the way. Hey, who cares if it’s a couple of months in coming? It’ll be worth the wait!
Calliope Casserole Carrier $45 – Vonny.com
Lucky for you, I was aware of this hot little item before the masses, so one of you will have one in time for Christmas! A while back I contacted Vonny and asked her if she’d be kind enough to allow me to do a giveaway for my readers, and she happily obliged. This was before she knew this wave of orders was about to hit her, but she set one aside, and I’ve confirmed, it’s still there waiting for you! Thank you Vonny!!
A Calliope Carrier is up for grabs, and all you have to do to enter is leave a comment below telling me what’s at the top of your Christmas list this year. That is the one step you are required to make to enter, and you can only do it once. If you want a bonus entry, then you can tweet the following: “Win a super hip Vonny Casserole Carrier from @betheats http://bit.ly/fLvicD” and then come back here and tell me you tweeted.
Easy as that! Contest is open to U.S. residents only, and you must provide a valid email address to win. Contest ends this Sunday, December 12th at noon Central, and I’ll use random.org at that time to pick the winner. Good luck!
~CONTEST CLOSED~
The winner is Kristen (#28)! Congrats!

Since I’m still “new” to Atlanta- a GPS is at the very top of my list! :) And by the way, I took your advice on the sparkling red wine- I found The Chook at a nice wine store in North Atlanta, and it was the hit of the dinner party. Love it!
Beth replied: — December 10th, 2010 @ 2:24 pm
So glad you and the other dinner guests enjoyed The Chook! mmm, makes me want some for myself right now ;-)

Brent- I just signed up for a couple of them myself. My parents always give me money for Christmas, so I’m counting on that to happen again this year so I can pay for them! I’m attending the Spanish Tapas class & the cocktail party class with Arnold Myint. Should be fun!
heather — December 10, 2010 @ 8:03 am
Can I say peace of mind? Sure I made a list, and checked it twice, but really I just want to breathe easy and not worry so much.
Lissa — December 10, 2010 @ 8:07 am

This year for the first time I do not have a Christmas list. Being unemployed for the past year, I have come to realize that I am grateful for all that I do have.
ricejen — December 10, 2010 @ 10:04 am
I must admit I am hoping Santa brings some cool running pants from Lululemon…..and this Vonny casserole carrier too! ;-)

What tops my list is embarrassing so I haven’t even told anyone. I really, really want a new kitchen faucet.
I kinda want those gloves Nikki mentioned also. :)
Beth replied: — December 10th, 2010 @ 2:43 pm
Well, that isn’t embarrassing at all- those suckers are expensive! I waited nearly two years after moving in my my honey before we splurged and bought one. Hope your wish comes true ;-)

Jessy — December 10, 2010 @ 12:55 pm
My Hanukkah wish came true in the form of a turntable. For Christmas (we do both), I pretty much just want an iPhone plug-in-the-wall charger, since I left mine at a hotel. All the fun kitchen gadgets are going on my wedding registry.

I want a set of white dishes! I think all food looks prettier on white dishes. I am thinking about a set from Pottery Barn, but open to suggestions. Any favorites, foodies?
ErinsFoodFiles — December 10, 2010 @ 3:35 pm
ANYTHING house related is at the top of my list. But we especially want a Bluray player that does Netflix streaming!
Marcia Truitt — December 10, 2010 @ 3:43 pm
To Cade’s detriment I can’t decide what I want for Christmas. A new duvet set for our bedroom? Golf clubs? Tickets to Cirque du Soleil? Or $$ for a maternity wardrobe. =)
I’m going to tweet as soon as I post this…

This is sort of boring, but I really want a slipcover from Pottery Barn for my couch! I don’t want to invest in a new couch until my husband and I buy our own house and I figure out my style more, so a slipcover would be great!

Most of the times i visit a blog I see that the construction is poor and the writting bad. On the contrary,I could honestly say that you writting is decent and your website solid.
