After a week of incredible wedding and entertaining inspiration from the participants of the Inspired Creations Contest, I am so excited to have a fabulous giveaway to end the week from none other than the entertaining gurus at Williams-Sonoma! As an avid entertainer, registering at Williams-Sonoma was at the top of my list of priorities when my husband and I were planning our wedding. They have, hands down, the best selection of cookware, kitchen gadets, tabletop accessories and barware for entertaining friends and loved ones.

This time of year I’m thinking of all the pool parties we’ll hold this summer and, because many of our friends live out of town, pool parties on Saturday afternoons tend to include brunch on Sunday mornings. For me this means stocking up on colorful summer-inspired barware for margaritas on the rocks (hold the salt, please) and homemade sangria. In the morning, Belgian waffles, freshly squeezed orange juice, a casserole dish of cheesy homefries (prepped in advance and tucked in the oven in the morning), mimosas and coffee take center stage. I like to take the bed and breakfast approach to hostessing – cozy beds, full bellies and happy hearts.Today, Williams-Sonoma is giving away a $150 gift card to one lucky reader! Wondering how to get your name in the hat? Here are the official contest rules –

1. To enter, set up a registry with Williams-Sonoma or if you’re already registered with them, simply add another item to your registry and note in the comments here what item you added.
2. All entrants must leave a comment here on this post and mention that you have registered with Williams-Sonoma and share with me your favorite registry item. (Maybe it’s that KitchenAid stand mixer you’ve been eying for years or the pretty champagne glasses for mimosas at your next brunch!)
3. Readers who include their public registry link in the comment will receive an extra entry!
4. The contest is open until 8:59am EST on Friday, April 15, 2011 when one winner will be announced!
