Ah, the super fun registry - so many options! I know the one big thing we needed – well, I wanted at least :) – were some nice dishes. I love cooking and was excited to get rid of the non-matching, hand me down plates and get some beautiful dishes! When looking for beautiful plates, Mikasa has so many great options + are available at fine retailers all over the country. And the best part is we partnered with them to give away an 8 piece place setting to one lucky reader this week! I’ve selected my four favorite patterns from their collection that you’ll have a chance to win from…

The four patterns are: Modern Butterfly, Italian Countryside, Parchment + Love Story – hopefully something for everyone! And if you are looking for great tips for entertaining and styling your dinnerware, be sure to check out Mikasa’s The Great Dinner Party - lots of great tips for parties in their Table Tips section. :)

Giveaway Details: To be entered in the random drawing to win an 8 piece place setting from the above four patterns, you’ll need to visit Mikasa’s Facebook page and LIKE the page. Then leave a comment here on this post with which pattern is your favorite and why. I’ll pick a random winner on Monday Feb. 6th 2012 at 2pm PST. Best of luck!

A little over a year ago, Jason and I were invited to spend a few nights at The Resort at Paws Up in Missoula, Montana (you can read about our stay here). We had such an amazing time and loved sharing the resort on GWS as a perfect honeymoon spot.

However, after thinking about it, The Resort at Paws Up would also make a super rad bachelorette party! In addition to the camps, they have lots of gorgeous estate homes that would be just perfect for a girl’s getaway. And – the best part is that we’ve partnered up to give away an AMAZING BACHELORETTE PARTY WEEKEND! The giveaway is for 3 night and five girls (you and four of your closest friends). You will be staying in a  Wilderness Estate as seen below. You will also get to pick from all their amazing activities and they are throwing in 1 half-day activity per person for the giveaway (excludes hot air balloon + guided fly-fishing).

I think it would make for a bachelorette party no one would forget! You can relax, hike, canoe, horseback ride,  and then campfires, good food + lots of girl talk while getting pampered by their incredible staff! Just thinking about it makes me wish I had a bachelorette party here! This is one that I would be totally down for :)

The Grand Prize Winner will Receive:

• 3 nights at a Wilderness Estate at The Resort at Paws Up for you and up 4 of your besties
• 1 half-day activity per person…you can pick from:
• Horseback Riding
• River Adventures
• ATV Tours
• Sporting Clays
• Zorb Ball
• Rappelling
• Geocaching
• Archery
• DELICIOUS (we can attest, we loved each meal we had there) breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared for you each day

To enter, just fill out the fields below! If you are a bridesmaid or have a friend who this would be perfect for, please enter for your bestie! If you are a bride, enter for yourself! :) The contest is open until 02/10/12 at 11 PM PST. We’ll pick a random winner and announce the winner the following week!

Happy Friday lovelies! Wow, this week went by so fast for me! Was it like that for anyone else? Still lots to get done today then looking forward to a romantic date night with my hubby :) The weather is supposed to be pretty amazing this weekend here in LA, so hoping to enjoy some of that while catching up on some more work. And for some of my faves from this week…
