I am in-between bogaversaries. 3 years ago in March, I started a blog Tuscan Dreams (not public) which evolved into Journey of an Italian Cook (which just passed it's two year mark). With schizoid anniversaries, I have been thinking how to thank my readers for enriching my life and this is the first in a series. If I was receiving a $50 gift certificate, I might add to my white collection.
Or look to Mikasa for inspiration.
Or bring color into my winter life with a Le Creuset stockpot (an Italian cook always needs an extra stockpot). All can be had for under $50. What would you like? Let me know.
`
How to enter:
1. Leave a comment on my blog about what you might order should you win and follow me (you can always un-follow later - as a fairly intense person, I am surprisingly laid-back about playing the numbers game).
2. You can "share" the giveaway on Facebook or Twitter and let me know how you shared for an additional entry.
3. You can follow me on Facebook or Twitter for one more entry and let me know. Although my Facebook never updates (it oftens wishes people a Happy Thanksgiving which will work ... in a few more months) and if someone can tell me how to use Twitter properly, I would be appreciative. It seems to be more important for current events (getting the word out for Egypt for example - where it is important).
The giveaway* will close at midnight, February 19th and the winner will be chosen at random and announced Sunday, February 20th. And please make sure I can contact you.
*The Giveaway is only for the USA and Canada - so sorry my international friends.

Wow, happy blogaversary. Year 2 is a big milestone!!
I would buy a rectangular tart pan. I have really been longing for one!!
I am now following you. Cheers!
Happy bloganniversary! So many great posts made over a short amount of time. I think I would purchase the Le Creuset stockpot, which is something that was already on my list to buy.

Happy Blogoversary! I am still going backwards to make sure I have seen everything you post! Your recipes are incredible along with your expertize and writing skills. I am thankful to have found you Dear Claudia! Great giveaway, one of my favorites on CSN is their Caphalon Pan varities, I am in dire need of a new set of pans, they have the best customer service there! Have a great weekend!
Happy bloganniversary Claudia and congratulations. Two years is quite an accomplishment.
I've been a follower on your blog for a long time and I'm also a Facebook friend. I'll go share your giveaway on Facebook (if I can figure out how to do it).
Great give-away. I love the CSN stores. They have so many things I want it would be hard to decide. But if I win your give-away I would select an emmersion blender. I left mine at home and I miss it while we're away.
Happy Valentine's day to you and yours.

I'd have to agree on the stockpot... I bought mine eons ago at a garage sale and it's not very high quality. The small ones are ok, but I need a 3 gallon one :-) Kate @katesiscooking (and, I'm a follower)
Happy Blogaversary, Claudia! CSN is wonderful! Great giveaway and I'd like a new cutting board. I've been a follower on GFC for a long time. Happy Valentine's Day!
I like Journey of an Italian Cook on Facebook also!
What a great giveaway - thanks for the opportunity to enter.
We use Mikasa Antique White as our everyday dishes - they're fabulous.
To answer your questions, if I were to win the giveaway, I'd add to my French Porcelain collection.
Happy Anniversary
:)

I'm already a follower -- and they have some beautiful bedding that I have my eye on!
Wow! Claudia, so many choices. It is so hard to decide what I would like to win. If I did win, I would like one of those bedding sets. I have been wanting to get a new one!
Have a great day!
Smiles to you!
Congratulations on getting through your two year mark! CSN is so good to our community, thanks for holding such a wonderful give away!
Cheers

Happy bloganniversary!!! I follow you here on google and I will tweet about it @SECooking
Awesome giveaway!!!
Congats on your anniversary! How fun a giveaway. Well I love white dishes too! I really do love colored ones, but I found myself with a huge collection of mis-matched dishes and slowly have been replacing them with white. Because even if they are the mis-matched, they still look good together. I will share this for you!
Happy Valentines Day!

Stockpot looks really nice.
Happy anniversary! I've been a follower via Google for some time. I love your blog -- your stories and your recipes. I think if I were to win, I'd get a Le Creuset stockpot, too!
Thanks , Claudia, and have a happy love day!
Happy 2nd blogoversary and many, many more. I am now a follower. If I win, I'd love a blow-torch for meringues. Love CSN, thanks for the opportunity!
I tweeted about your giveaway. Using Twitter is easy, here's how: First, copy the URL of the post. Go to snipr. Paste the URL in the block. Snip it. Then look for the drop down box that lists twitter. Click on it. You'll see the snip code in the box. Move your cursor in front of it and tweet. Easy peasy.
I have always wanted a Le Creuset dutch oven. I think that's what i would get.
Wow, what a lovely giveaway! I just had a party with some good friends and we made pasta....and I realized I really need a huge pot to cook pasta with. This will come in handly and I can't wait to do some serious shopping! :D
Just became your newest follower!

I love the color le crueset brings to a kitchen. And a kitchen should be full of color.
I have been a follower for a while and would be even without a giveaway. I love your writing and the recipes you post!
I need a le crueset so that would definitely be my choice!
Happy Blogiverary Claudia. Your blog is always fun and inspiring.
Great giveaway! I would love to have a nice Dutch Oven!

Happy blog anniversary Claudia! You know I loved finding you and becoming your blog friend :)
After 36 years of marriage I need a lot of new things ...lol...I could really use those white dishes as my old ones are becoming chipped.
♥ Happy Valentine's Day!♥
How did I miss your blogiversary Claudia! You are my blogging buddy and it's always a joy to come over to your heartwarming blog! My happy years ahead! What would I order? Hmmm, I'm with you, I'm a white plate freak, so I guess maybe some more platters, the odd shaped ones, I love those.
Hugs,
Marie
I am a follower! I would love to get a new clock for my living room. My old one is broken and I'm lost without it!

Love CSN! I'd buy a set of scotch classes I've been eyeing for a few months... thanks or the giveaway opp!
Followed you on GFN, liked you on FB and shared it on my page! So, yay, now I've qualified for 3 entries! Good luck to all the foodies!
Happy 2nd and 3rd year anniversary!!!
What a lovely way to share this...I am pretty sure I follow you everywhere and will be happy to share your celebration :)
Thanks for all of the recipes and the inspiration to haul my big ole self into the kitchen and cook.
If I won the CSN gift certificate I would buy the Paula Deen Home - - Sweet Tea Letter Writing Desk and Chair Set in Linen. It isn't a cooking utensil but I need a place to sit and write recipes, getting them once and for all organized. They are now on scrapes of paper and in danger of disappearing forever. This inviting desk would be perfect motivation to get to the task of preserving my treasured recipes.
If I won the CNS certificate. I would buy LARGE soup/cereal bowls. The 28oz + size. MY sink and dishwasher are fed plastic storage containers on a daily bases,the standard bowls just sit on my shelf. I'm pretty sure my teens and husband have no idea they are there.
I follow, and I'd get a Cuisinart fondue pot!
