The Dainty Dot

Looking for a great gift for the holidays? Or are you thinking that perhaps YOU deserve a little something for the holidays?

If you are into home and garden stuff—the really classy mod kind—I’ve got a heads up for you. My adorable friend Jayme from Oregon runs a site called aHa! Modern Living. “Gardening with a modern flare,” as she puts it. It’s not for the casual hobby let’s-plant-some-flowery-things-here type gardener. “We’re about environmental stewardship, community loyalty, global responsibility, and leading a healthy life.” Sounds good to me, right? Yup, that’s what kind of person Jayme is. And I have a bit of a girl crush on her—she’s that nice.

Here’s a reason to head on over to aHa! Modern Living right now. She’s running a Weekly Holiday Giveaway. And this is one giveaway I bet you’ll like: Week 1′s freebie is a Roost Hemingway Muddler Set and a copy of Jayme’s newly published book Garden Rules. Men mow the lawn with a beer—so why shouldn’t women garden with cocktails? It’s only fair, after all. And doesn’t that Muddler Set look slick? Hmmm … wonder if I’m eligible to win?

Speaking of giveaways … I have accumulated a bunch of garden-related stuff via my day job. Watch for a Dainty Giveaway next week!
