A 20-piece set of Treble Clef flatware. It ends on Foodie Friday, March 26th, and the winner will be announced on Tuesday, March 30th. You can leave a message here if you'd like to enter and mention the words TREBLE CLEF.

Coming from a musical family, this TREBLE CLEF flatware would be the PERFECT addition to our table.

Thanks for your consideration!
Myra

I've wanted a set of the Treble Clef flatware for ever so long.
Haven't found any on my shopping trips, yet.
How neat if I won it!
I don't have a Blog. I usually hang out on the Holiday forum when I'm not enjoying the beautiful tablescapes at Susan's Table Thursday and the recipes on your Foodie Friday.
Happy Birthday to Mama G.
Betty

You are such a generous lady! BTW I loved your book Mermaids in the Basement!
So sign me up already for the flatware! 'Although I played piano for a long time, I began to concentrate on the flute exclusively, and I can now only read the Treble Clef!' How's that for use in a sentence? It's also true.

I've been meaning to toss in my name for the beautiful Treble Clef flatware! Thanks for the kind offer!
Just found your site..can't wait to try some of your treats! OH.TREBLE CLEF!!

WOW !!!! The pixies and me LOVE the treble Clef because it looks like a fern frond in Pink Pixie Forest!!
TREBLE CLEF: A symbol located at the beginning of a staff to indicate the pitches of the notes placed on the lines and spaces of the staff. The treble clef is also called the "G clef" because the symbol at the beginning of the staff (a stylized letter "G") encircles the second line of the staff, indicating that that line is the g1 (or g above middle C).
Please enter me for the drawing. Your website is amazing!
Uncanny! The Treble Clef is the symbol I have doodled since I was a child ... I don't want to seem greedy but it would be sooooooooo nice to have a few more of these wonderful pieces here in Bend.
I just found your site! I am so excited! TREBLE CLEF!
You always have such inspiring ideas! The treble clef table ware is amazing!
What a great blog and you are SO funny :) Love those spoons & knifes and I have been looking to buy that design for some time now :) SO TREBLE CLEF!!!!!
