Product Review and Giveaway 09/15 to 09/26 (posting 1 of 3)

Photobucket
I was approached by Pete at Executive Gift Shoppe to do a review of one of his products, which are many.  It took me a very long time just to decide which item to choose.  Just some of the items they offer are personalized business card holders, personalized flasks for those fall hayrides, clocks, desk organizers, golf gifts and so much more!!!   Before I show you what I chose, I thought these items were kind of unique.  On the left, one of the business card holders that I liked and on the left, those aren’t cell phones, but are flasks.
After much time trying to decide what I wanted from all the items offered, I chose this cherry wood desk organizer to match my new bookcases for my office/library:

It was delivered in just a few days.  Double boxed for a safe delivery.  I have to tell you when I opened the box, I was surprised!!!  It was much heavier, sturdier and made with quality wood, than I thought it would be.  The picture above does not do the product justice.  This desk organizer is definitely an executive gift at an affordable price.  As are a lot of their gifts to choose from.  I am very happy with the choice I made and now you can also make a choice.  

Pete from Executive Gift Shop has generously offered to have one of my followers the chance to choose any item up to $50.00.  All items can be personalized.  International giveaway!!!   Visit their site, then follow the directions on the entry giveaway page.  Good Luck!!!

CSN Review (3 of 3)

Photobucket

Its official, hubby and I are empty nesters as of Sunday.  It was a bittersweet moment.  But also a very proud moment that my son is starting a new chapter in his life.  And so are we.  And starting by making one of the boys’ bedroom into an office/library for me!!!  Since I spend a lot of time at the computer, I needed a good desk chair.  And I have one now.  We ordered a ergonomic leather chair with lumbar support, perfect for me from all the back surgeries.  This is the one we purchased:

It was delivered within a few days of ordering it.  Hubby and I emptied the box and began to put it together.  We had a few problems with the installation as the directions could have been more explicit and detailed.  But once we got it assembled and tested out. we loved it.  A very comfortable and sturdy chair, so much so that we plan to order another one for hubby’s computer work station.

This chair was purchased by me along with a CSN GC

Giveaway "Red Hook Road" 09/13 to 09/20 (posting 1 of 5)

RED HOOK ROAD
Photobucket
by Ayelet Waldman
September 13th to September 20th
Synopsis (borrowed from Barnes & Noble)
  As lyrical as a sonata, Ayelet Waldman’s follow-up novel to Love and Other Impossible Pursuits explores the aftermath of a family tragedy.

  Set on the coast of Maine over the course of four summers, Red Hook Road tells the story of two families, the Tetherlys and the Copakens, and of the ways in which their lives are unraveled and stitched together by misfortune, by good intentions and failure, and by love and calamity.
  A marriage collapses under the strain of a daughter’s death; two bereaved siblings find comfort in one another; and an adopted young girl breathes new life into her family with her prodigious talent for the violin. As she writes with obvious affection for these unforgettable characters, Ayelet Waldman skillfully interweaves life’s finer pleasures–music and literature–with the more mundane joys of living. Within these resonant pages, a vase filled with wildflowers or a cold beer on a hot summer day serve as constant reminders…
