Nelley Kelley Giveaway and Good News

NK bookplates as seen in Daily Candy gift bags

Daily Candy, the super popular women's lifestyle email newsletter and website, included Nelley Kelley in their 10th Anniversary Birthday Bash Gift Bags! The goodie bag featured Daily Candy's favorites from the last decade and it's current must-haves including Nelley Kelley's own Cardinal Bookplates.

We are so excited to have been included and in honor of Daily Candy's 10th birthday - Nelley Kelley is offering the same Cardinal Bookplates to the first 10 people who post a comment in this blog's comment's box.  Happy Birthday Daily Candy - here's to another amazing 10!

Ina Garten and Ellen McHale

Last Friday I met one of my favorite Cooks and TV personalities, Ina Garten, also known as The Barefoot Contessa.  The Natick Mall was abuzz with people waiting online to get their opportunity to say hello.  I met up with two "foodie" friends of mine and we proceeded to wait in line for hours just to see Ina.  New friends were made while we waited for our glimpse of our favorite Food Network star. It was amazing to see how many people turned out to get their 7 seconds or so with the Barefoot Contessa.  Not missing an opportunity to thank her for her years of bailing me out of "what to make" for my dinner parties, I presented Ina with a gift from the Nelley Kelley studio.  The exciting thing was that she accepted it! Notice on the table the Nelley Kelley craft paper box with a lovely little "Eggs in a Nest" night light nestled inside.

Val, Ellen and Ellen wait online to meet Ina

New Friends, Vic and Marylou with Val and Ellen
