Merci!

First of all, thank you all so much for your sweet comments about our new little guy! We kinda like him, so I think we'll keep him.

Next, over overdue thank yous go out to some of the sweetest bloggers around! I was lucky enough to win some fantastic giveaways recently...check out the great things that have arrived at the TCP compound recently:

(And I apologize for the poor quality cell phone pics! They do not do these goodies justice!)

A great monogrammed koozie from Preppy Monogrammed Gifts (avec Diet Coke, natch).

Always Superb, a Junior Leagues of Minneapolis and St Paul cookbook from the fabulous Queen Bee Swain. I can't wait to try some of these recipes.

And a bunch of adorable treats from KK at the Preppy Pink Crocodile. Not only did she send me the ice cream cozy I won, but also a bookmark, a coffee cozy, a pen, a notepad, AND the most adorable burp cloth I have ever seen! So generous.

Thank you one and all!!
