CSN Giveaway

Last summer (July 17th to be exact) I won a $60 CSN gift certificate from Joy at Thrifty Parsonage Living.  I was thrilled to have won and started pouring over their website.  Every now and then I'd ask my husband if I should order a striped Dash and Albert rug, but then we would agree that there wasn't anywhere to put one in our house. Then I'd look around CSN some more and I would ask him about getting some red dishes to use at Christmas and Valentine's Day, but then I couldn't decide which ones to buy.  And so it went on....


I may be one of the most indecisive people in this world.  Months went by and I finally decided that what I needed was a clutch purse to use at our son's wedding in May.  So just before Christmas (and only weeks before the gift certificate expired) I ordered a stone-coloured leather clutch.  Not only did the purse arrive very quickly, it is lovely.  It is made of a soft leather and has a shoulder strap so if you are like me and can't coordinate a purse and a drink and a camera then this should help.   The clutch is big enough for my cell phone, my camera, my keys, a lipstick, money, and tissue. There are several pockets so it can all be organized efficiently.  One of the things I like best is the pretty lining.  I'm not benefiting in any way by giving you my honest opinion of CSN, but I just wanted to let you know about my experience with the online shop.  


I was recently contacted by CSN to sponsor a giveaway and I was more than happy to do that, especially given that it came close on the heels of my positive shopping experience there.  They have offered a $40 gift certificate (does not include shipping costs) to be used at any of their on-line stores.  


The amazing thing is you can buy almost anything from CSN, from adjustable bar stools,

to Dash and Albert rugs (swoon - I just can't get enough of these),

to red dishes,

Oh wait, am I listing all the things I would buy.  This isn't about me, is it?  You need to go to CSN and have a look for yourself.
