7th House on the Left

****THIS GIVEAWAY IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING ENTRIES****
And our 5 lucky winners are… Cindy, Karen, Jennifer Russell, Tiffany, and Sherry Hundley! Congrats ladies! Remember to check out your local Target store on May 6th for the brand new Shops at Target collections! Thanks everyone!! 

If you’ve been reading 7th House for a while, you’re well aware of our love for Target. When they offered to sponsor a giveaway for you guys, it was a no-brainer. Imagine Ash reading the email and saying, “Greg! Oh. My. Good. Ness.” True story. Needless to say, she replied with an emphatic, “YES!”.

Next month, Target is launching The Shops at Target collection. Through this ongoing program, Target will partner directly with specialty stores and boutiques to co-create affordable, limited-edition collections for Target shoppers. The first flight of The Shops at Target, which debuts on May 6th, will be taking off at all Target stores and Target.com and will feature five exclusive collections across five product categories (The Candy Store, Cos Bar, Polka Dot Bakery – which Bentley is totally down with, Privet House, and The Webster).

shops GIVEAWAY: THE SHOPS AT TARGET

The products in the home collection are co-created by Privet House. Richard Lambertson and Suzanne Cassano opened Privet House in May 2008 in Warren, Connecticut and later opened a second location in Greenwich, Connecticut. Privet House carries an international collection of antique and vintage furniture, artwork and mirrors for the home and garden. The new Privet House at Target collection includes home decor, accents and accessories for the home, kitchen, table, and garden reminiscent of the Connecticut shop’s unique signature charm.

Today, The Mother Ship Target is giving not one, not two, not three, not even four, but five lucky readers a prize package from the Privet House at Target collection which will include an Apothecary Jar Scented Candle ($15.99, photo not available), Stationery and Rubber Stamp Set ($12.99), Coral Canvas Tote Bag ($19.99), and a Decorative Wire House ($24.99). To make it even sweeter, the winners will be getting these items before they’re even available in stores! As Ash would say… Holla!

Just in time for the weekend, we’re bringing you a favorite breakfast treat. Our very special, super simple, ooy gooey, magically delicious Inside-Out Cinnamon Rolls. Enjoy them right out of the oven with a good cup of coffee or even the day after with a Diet Coke. Whatever, you’re preference, if you have a sweet tooth, you’ll love these little guys.

To make these little pockets of goodness, you only need four ingredients – and they just might surprise you…

insideoutcinnammonrolls1 INSIDE OUT CINNAMON ROLLS
  • 1 Can of Crescent Rolls
  • 8 Marshmallows
  • 1/2 Stick of Butter (melted)
  • Cinnamon Sugar

The assembly is super easy and could even be a fun activity for the kiddos to join in. Just roll the marshmallow in melted butter, followed by the cinnamon and sugar…

Wrap the crescent roll dough around the marshmallow. Make sure there aren’t any holes (especially on the  bottom) so the cinnamon sugary goodness doesn’t seep out while baking.

I used a nonstick muffin pan, but if your’s isn’t nonstick, make sure to spray the pan with cooking spray. Use some of the left over butter and brush on the outside of the bundles. Bake on 375° for 12 minutes or until they’re golden brown…

The marshmallow disappears and turns into a clear glaze. That combined with the cinnamon sugar makes a very tasty (and non-messy) cinnamon roll.

They are so so good right out of the oven, but if you save a few for the next day, they are good room temperature too. To reheat,  just pop it in the microwave for about 6 seconds.
