This morning I was over the moon to wake up to the start of Chronicle Books Happy Haul-idays giveaway! For those of you who don't know Chronicle Books is my favorite book publisher of all time, based in San Francisco they produce some of the most beautiful books ranging from design, to cooking to hiking.
The giveaway works like this, bloggers post a list of items from Chronicle (valued up to $500) which automatically enters them in a drawing to win their haul, then if my blog wins one of my readers, who commented on the post will also win $500 to spend at Chronicle. For more details click here.

Just to clarify, one reader will win YOUR list, not a separate $500 list. Thanks for the post, and good luck!
