Sweet Saturday: April 20, 2013

Mint/Grey

It is Sweet Saturday.  The day we giveaway something fabulous and tell you what you can win next week.  How sweet is that?

So...  In last week's post, we had you choose which Monogramed Necklace you prefered, Script or Block.  We tallied up the names of each person who "liked" one of the necklaces on Facebook and random.org drew a winner.  I am excited to announce the winner of this custom mongrammed necklaced, valued at up to $240.  (I swear I didn't cheat, but I don't think the winner could have been any more perfect.)

The winner is... Jill A.!  Jill is such an inspiration to us right now.  She is living the Bon Lemon mantra:  when life gives you lemons... put on something sparkly.  Yay Jill!  We couldn't have wished for a more deserving winner.

Black/White

And for this week's Sweet Saturday Giveaway, we are giving away a super soft, striped, jersey, infinity scarf.  All you have to do is go to our Facebook page and tell us which color is your favorite:  mint/grey, coral/grey, or black/white.  These are super soft and longer than our chevron scarves for a cozy, casual look.  How can you pick just one?

Coral/Grey

Next Saturday, we will pick a winner from all "likes" and introduce the next giveaway.  I love Saturdays!

Hope today is sweet!

Wheat in Vogue

Ferragamo 2011

I am currently Bon Lemoning from 6 Par Farmer's wheat farm in central Montana.  It is amazing how much you can get done when the phone isn't ringing and the likelihood of someone dropping by is close to nil.  (The mailbox is 1.5 miles down the road, so we have even ruled out an unexpected visit from the mailman.) 

Grain elevators themselves are quite majestic.

But around here, you must take an occasional break to enjoy the beauty of the sky and the maturing crop.  The wheat is just starting to rise from the soil and it inspired today's post.  Did you know, wheat is not just nourishing, but wheat is totally in vogue?  Who knew?  Wheat is hot!

Coco Chanel loved wheat.  And who is a better judge of style than Coco Chanel?  Look at these fabulous Chanel pieces featuring wheat.  Karl Lagerfeld (creative director at Chanel) knew of Coco Chanel's affinity for wheat and has paid homage to her many times using the iconic design.

I want to wear Chanel wheat! 

This table lived in Coco Chanel's Paris apartment.  Fab!

Wheat is cropping up in lots of other places too.  On invitations.  

Check these out on Etsy.

On plates.

Buy here.

Even at weddings.

And I LOVE this handmade, brass, wheat necklace and earrings.  Tres chic!

Who says farming can't be fashionable?  I feel inspired to take the wheat trend to new levels.  Maybe I can wear wheat in my hair.  Or include a sprig of wheat on Christmas packages.  For now, I will settle for looking at it growing on the horizon.  And eating it for lunch.

Have you tried the wheat trend?  How do you wear it?
