Hi everybody, I have been busy all weekend however I wanted to get this giveaway posted.
This is the first time I have had a giveaway and don't have one of those generator counters on my blog, so will have to figure that out , any help will be appreciated. I can always have someone draw for me a neighbor or co -worker.
Anyway please leave me a comment and tell me if you have ever visited Savannah Georgia and really if you have gone to the Back In The Day Bakery on Bull st. I am sure some of you Savannah gals have gone down there for some pastry or cup cakes ? tell us all if you have
Cheryl & Griff Day have been on book tours , maybe you have seen them on QVC or the Martha Stewart Show. or the Paula Deen show .I went to Nashville to one of their book signing at the Parnassus book store in Green Hills area
They had a book signing at The Paris Market also in Savannah , I love that store, they have a blog it's on my side bar
Cheryl has some great advice and information and great stories through out the book about her and Griff, how they met etc.If you don't win you just gotta go get a copy of this book. I read it like a novel LOL
back cover
When I first met Cheryl at her bakery I had read about her on another blog so knew who she was when I walked in the bakery.
After my trip down there that year before she had started her cook book I sent her some old kitchen items because I knew she loved pyrex and old kitchen gadgets.
So when she wrote her cookbook OMG she added a couple items I had sent her in the previous year
On page 100 is the pie tin and on page 9 is the pink ice cream scoop I sent her. She loves Pink
Well get your name in the drawing and good luck. If you don't have a blog please leave your email address
I am
going to a Cardinals baseball game in St Louis they are playing the Chicago Cubs and then diner on The Hill in St Louis Missouri.
I am sure it will be fun , going with a group of ladies and few men from my church .(update)
Game was good Cardinals won and we ate at FAVAZZA's on the patio and it was wonderful
This cookbook was sent to me from Cheryl & Griff Day's publicist, Amy especially for this giveaway ( I feel special )

Joe owned a house just almost in the historic district in Savannah when we married eight years ago. We went there a good bit to get it sold. I had been there in my younger years too. Our old house is only two hours away from Savannah. I think it's cool you know the cook book author and thanks for the give a way.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to see your items in her book. I'd love to be a part of your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI am going to Savannah in June. I am taking my daughter and granddaughter and we have started a list of things to do and places to go. I had put Back In The Day Bakery on the list after you talked about it before. We are very excited - this is our firt time to Savannah. Do you have other suggestions? We are driving so we can stop at the Biltmore and we are also going to Tybee Island. Very excited!

I don't know if you're accepting Canadians, the book sounds great - and so neat that something you sent made it to the book!!
ReplyDeleteI visited via Rednesday...
I have visited Savannah many, many times (I live in Augusta GA). I have always said if I could live anywhere else in the world it would be Savannah. It is a beautiful city with good food, antiques and architecture!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I have never been to Savannah. Also, do not cook much anymore when it is just me. So I am not familiar with these people.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Georgia really unless you count changing planes in Atlanta which we have done a few times. Would be interesting to actually visit these places someday.

That is where I got married almost 6 years ago...in Savannah! it's one of my favorite places!
ReplyDeleteStick my name in the hat!
I don't have one of those blog counter things either so I just count the number of people that leave a comment and then use random.org to pick the number or I put everyone's name on a little piece of paper and draw it out of a hat! I am so old fashioned that way!
Happy Day!
Love,
LuLu~*xoxo

This looks like a wonderful cookbook, I bet they're a hoot! Yes, we visited Savannah back in 1998. I'm sure they didn't have a shop at the time. It was right after Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Hubbs and I had a wonderful time. thanks for the chance to win!
