On this last day of 2010, we’re celebrating the new year with a Freebie Fridays giveaway from one of our all-time favorite lifestyle retailers — Z Gallerie. (You should see my Z Gallerie wish list. It’s intense.)
Z Gallerie wants you take home their Bedford Tray — a must have for the refined dinner party host. Or a romantic finishing touch for the next time you serve breakfast in bed to that special someone. Simply leave a comment answering this week’s question before 12/11c Monday, January 3, for a chance to win.
This week’s question: What’s your favorite drinking toast? (Let’s keep it PG.)
The start of the new year is all about resolutions, like eliminating clutter. Make your post-holiday organization as smooth as your entertaining with this get-it-together guide from HGTV.com.

























I have never been a real fan of making or receiving toasts so I guess I don't have a favorite.
Heres to health, wealth, & happiness and to my new Bedford Tray
My fav toast is, "L' Chaim!!!!….To LIFE!!!" ~~~.Love, Love, Love this tray!!!!…..Happy New Year, to all and, ALL the best in 2011!!!
Ein Prosit!!
May your life be filled with happiness and contentment. Be kind to yourself and each other….
May you have good health & sprit this year,
May peace fill all the empty spaces around you
And in you, may contentment answer all your wishes.
May comfort be yours, warm and soft like a sigh.
And may the coming year
show you that every day is really a first day,
a new year.
Let abundance be your constant companion,
so that you have much to share.
May mirth be near you always,
like a lamp shining brightly
on the many paths you travel.
May you have true love & peace.
Also a bottel of Jeff Gorsdon Wine on this Bedford Tray !
"To good health and happiness! Cheers!"
"I love you more today than the day I married you. May the next 5 years be more wonderful than the last 5 have been." My toasting preference is Asti.
My fav is DiSorono with pomegrante soda, crushed ice. Spectacular, just like this tray!
My dad always said "Some have it and some have had it" – Cheers!
Here's to nothing…cheers!
When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven!
–Old Irish toast
AS A REFLECTION IN THE TRAY -WHILE CHEERING IN THE NEW YEAR —YOU CAN REFLECT ON THE OLD ,AND MAKE PROMISES IN THE NEW!!!!!!!
I’ve really never made a toast, but if I had to, I would toast to life, love, and laughter!
To you!
May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.
My favorite toast would have to be from the movie Hitch- " Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away."
down the hatch!
It is what it is!!!!!
May those that love us, love us.
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if he doesn't turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we'll know them by their limping.
Please raise your glasses to this amazing couple who have made it through twenty five years of happiness and joy, sorrows and losses, and remained committed to each other and in love through it all. Their love and marriage is an example to us all of what true love really is and that if you are dedicated you can realize a marriage until death do you part.
FAV Toast: "Here's to you, as good as you are – Here's to me, as bad as I am – As good as you are, as bad as I am – I'm as good as you are, as bad as I am.
To a happy and healty life !
In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, but never in want.
~ Traditional Irish toast
I wish I had something awesome to print, but am sad to say I'm a same-o same-o kind of chick. My fav is "Cheers!"
CHEERS!
May the words of ou mouths and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in Your site, O God, our strength and Redeemer!
my favorite toast was on my 10th anniversary when my husband raised his glass and said… "to the best "year" of my life… because you still make me feel like a newlywed!" Now that's a great toast!
When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let’s all get drunk, and go to heaven!
–Old Irish toast
One of my favorite toasts:
"Here's to those who wish us well,
and those who don't can go to… "H-E-Double Hockey Sticks (as my kids used to say)!!
I'd LOVE to serve someone something on that tray from Z Gallerie!
I always hope for health and being able to spend much of the new year with friends and family.
One said at my wedding (25 yrs ago this Aug!): here's to the captain, here's to his mate, here's to the crew at a later date!
Most favorite and memorable was when this elegant older woman quoted Dorothy Parker in toast at a new year's eve party … "I like to have a martini, Two at the very most. After three I'm under the table, after four I'm under my host."
Here's to the New Year! New year, new blessings, new beginnings!
My favorite toast is “Here’s to the bride and groom!”
It just makes me smile
"To new beginnings."
"Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living!"
- Amanda Bradley
A reminder that life is short, so enjoy what you can. An excellent toast with friends and family.
The tray is beautiful. Consider me entered! And if anymore Z Gallerie things are laying around I would like a chance at those, too please
May you have Laughter, happiness, Love, And Friendship Alway's. And Wisdom to know You have it

"Here is to being blessed with great friends and a wonderful family – cheers!"
Here's to a great year!
Here is to my lover, soul mate, husband, and best friend…..You are the best thing to happen to me in the last 25 years!
Here's a toast to the future, A toast to the past, And a toast to our friends, far and near. May the future be pleasant; The past a bright dream; May our friends remain faithful and dear.
To a Long Life filled with Happiness!
My favorite toast is one I said to my husband before a great meal he cooked me (with a special bottle of wine) on a trip to celebrate our annivery – “You are the butter to my bread, the breathe to my life”
May we all be safe, happy and healthy
To better things in the new year!!!
