			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are proud to introduce a new line to our outdoor  cooking category that will be sure to excite even the most pampered chef.</p>
<p>The Fornetto Wood Fired Oven and Smoker was inspired by an impression of history and strong traditions of quality and craftsmanship. It uses wood or lump natural charcoal to create the most delicious, flavorful foods. Through a series of damper controls, you will be able to elevate the temperature of the oven to the perfect cooking level for any meal. By adding smoker chips or aromatic woods you will be able to infuse flavor into meats and poultry. You can create the most authentic wood-fired pizzas, ribs, roasts and much more!</p>
<p>Cooking with the Fornetto is also a great way to get together with family and friends and enjoy authentic wood fired dishes outdoors. Please visit us and let us show you our entire line of Fornetto ovens and accessories. Why not enjoy all the flavors of summer outdoors along with all the tasty treats you will create with a Fornetto? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If the calendar says spring, then it must be officially here. That means that it’s finally time to get outside and start preparing your outdoor living space for warmer weather. </p>
<p>Start by checking the condition of your area. If you have a deck, you may want to think about power washing or even re-staining it. If you are planning to landscape, start to think about what plants and planters you will use. Also think about color. Plants are a great way to introduce color and texture to your space.</p>
<p>Is this the year to replace those cushions that used to look like brand new? Maybe you want to add to your existing furniture pieces and complete your space, or maybe you’re ready to pass on everything to the kids and start out fresh. What about new outdoor lighting or a new outdoor rug? Maybe you should add some new throw pillows to revive your set; or why not add a new hammock to nap in on those warm spring afternoons? </p>
<p>With so many things to consider, one thing is for sure, we have all paid our dues to Mother Nature this winter and now it’s our time to shine. So go ahead, get out there and see what needs to get done. We’ll be right by your side to help you get your outdoor space in tip-top shape. We hope to see you soon! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><div id="attachment_587" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://blog.casualmarketplace.com/wp-content/uploads/main.jpg"><img src="http://blog.casualmarketplace.com/wp-content/uploads/main-300x128.jpg" alt="Pillows" title="Pillows" width="300" height="128" class="size-medium wp-image-587" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Power of the Pillow</p></div>Are you ready to update your living space for spring, but don’t want to spend a fortune on re-decorating? The perfect solution to easily transform the look of your room from one season to the next is simple. By adding new toss pillows you can take your room to a whole other level. Toss pillows allow you to introduce colors and patterns to a space but do not commit you to a permanent look. You can also bring in texture and elements of design into the room without breaking the bank. Many fabrics are made for both inside and outside applications.</p>
<p>Pillows come in a variety of shapes and sizes and also feature a wide choice of trims including cording, welting and fringes. The most popular size pillows are 16” square and 20” square. You can use a kidney (rectangular shaped, oblong) pillow to create interest on a lounge chair or rocker or combine them with rectangular shapes on a sofa to give it a finished look. Don’t be afraid to mix and match solids and patterns. Remember that it is easy to infuse color with toss pillows. By layering different sizes, shapes and patterns you will give your furniture a custom look and also keep your friends wondering who your interior designer is. After you are finished accessorizing inside, don’t forget about your outdoor space. You’ll soon be spending a lot of time there too!       </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you are cooking for two or for twenty and having a traditional sit down holiday dinner or a buffet luncheon, be sure to dress up your table for the occasion. </p>
<p>By using a colorful runner, you can transform your dining table from everyday to holiday. Add a decorated centerpiece, a cheerful poinsettia or fresh greens to your tablescape. Use candles whether they are battery operated or real wax to add height, dimension and a soft glow. Why not use festive placecard holders that resemble ornaments or small Christmas trees to help your guests find their seat? You can also place a small ornament at each table setting as a gift for your dining friends and family. Consider using brightly decorated placemats to add cheer to your table instead of a traditional tablecloth. </p>
<p>However you decide to decorate your space, remember that the holidays are a time to make memories with family, friends and loved ones. So go ahead celebrate and enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that the holidays are officially here, it’s time to decorate your home and create a festive holiday environment. Start with your outdoors; hang lighted garlands around doorways, garages, windows and lampposts, add brightly colored outdoor bows for a finishing touch. Pre-lit potted trees on each side of your doorway will welcome all of your holiday guests. Place battery operated or electric candles in each window to create a warm inviting look. Why not shine a spotlight on your front door or place several of them across your front lawn at different angles to light up the whole house? Consider placing a wreath with a bow on each window and attach them with a suction cup, or maybe place a window swag on each sill on the front of your home. You can hang lighted spheres at different heights from a tree and create an eye-catching display. Don’t be afraid to get creative. </p>
<p>Outdoor timers will allow you to set the on and off time for your holiday display. You’ll be able to come home from work and be welcomed by your holiday lights and when you’re ready for bed, they’ll turn themselves off. Always be sure to practice safety whenever you decorate and make sure that you have a back-up supply of replacement bulbs and fuses. Remember to have fun and to enjoy! The holidays come and go by quickly.</p>
