Making homes beautiful, one table at a time BY SUSAN BELKNAP
GRANITE BAY VIEW EDITOR

ountdown to the holidays

C has begun. Is your shop-

ping done, the holiday
cards mailed and the table set?
Fear not, the ladies of A
Table to Remember can help,
(at least in the table setting
department).
Granite Bay resident Jamie
Mulkey and Terri Clark-
Dougan of Roseville have
recently started this business,
which provides table setting
services, coordinated table
embellishments, and do-it-
yourself table decorating no
matter what the style or need.
“We want to beautify homes,
one table at a time,” Mulkey
said. “We can provide custom
table scenes for a formal din-
ner party or something for
everyday.”
Dougan said when people
usually enter a home, the din-
ing room is usually the first
thing guests see.
“Yet usually this room is the
least used room in the house,”
Dougan said. “But we think it’s
nice to have the table dressed.
Plus with more people choos-
ing to stay at home and enter-
tain as opposed to going out, I
think people are using their
dining rooms more often and
want it to look nice.”
Although the actual busi-
ness was formed about three
months ago, Dougan said she
has been in the home staging
arena for the past 10 years,
working with Realtors to place
furniture, accessories and wall
hangings in just the right place
to attract potential buyers.
“I actually think I was stag-
ing houses when I was a young
girl and I would be babysit-
ting,” Dougan said. “I would
love to rearrange things.”
Mulkey’s background is in
business and marketing and
said she was interested in
forming a partnership with
Dougan to decorate tables
because of “the opportunity to
do something physically and
mentally creative.”
“I also can bring in the social
networking aspect of the busi-
ness with Facebook and I’m
working on a Web site,”
Mulkey said.
The goal of A Table to

 “We want to teach people to
be able to use what they have,”
Mulkey said.
Indeed, the two recently
conducted a table-decorating
seminar at Triad Plus, a home
decorative fabric store located
in Roseville where they offered
their advice to clients.
“Most people just need some
vision,” Dougan said.
In addition to their work at
Triad Plus, Dougan and
Mulkey donated to the recent
Eureka Schools Foundation
annual Gala dinner and auc-
tion.
“We prepared a table in a
basket,” Mulkey said. “It fea-
tured a tablecloth, runner,
chargers, napkins and candles
for a party of eight.”
But A Table to Remember
doesn’t just concentrate on
embellishing the formal dining
room table. Dougan said they
can offer unique arrangements
for buffet tables as well as an
everyday look for the kitchen
table.
“We can even do table set-
tings for themed birthday par-
ties,” Dougan said.

“I’ve attended numerous
events where Terri and Jamie
have provided the table deco-
ration,” Bocast said. “Terri
Dougan is an energetic bundle
of talent. Her flare for decor
and her endless creativity, gen-
erate unique designs that
delight the senses. A Table to
Remember’s creations are sim-
ply eye candy. With their com-
bined talents, Terri and Jamie
will be very successful.”
As for current dining trends
the decorating duo said “any-
thing goes,” and that could
mean mixing your grandmoth-
er’s china with current place
settings for an eclectic look or
using color schemes other
than red and green for the
Christmas holidays.
“Right now, purple and silver
are in for the season,” Mulkey
said. “Also, anything sparkling
is hot.”
To achieve a one-of-a-kind
look Mulkey and Dougan sug-

retailers have you covered.
Lean budgets and busy
schedules may have even the
savviest shoppers stymied this
year, but there are plenty of
great gift ideas that won’t take a
bite out of the family budget.
After all, great gifts come
from the heart, and not neces-
sarily from the busy mall.
Something from the kitchen
can be especially welcome for
busy families and friends who
lack time or expertise with a
cookie sheet.
Create delicious holiday spe-

festooned with festive packag-
ing.
Store cookies between sheets
of waxed paper, and nestle in
festive holiday tins, or plain
boxes or paper bags, adorned
with hand-stamped holiday
scenes, or embellished with
glitter and festive ribbon.
Cookies aren’t the only good-
ies that can be gifted from the
kitchen.
A family tradition like Christ-
mas-morning bread pudding
can be shared with friends and
neighbors, and makes a most
loving gift.
“I started, ages ago, making
bread pudding for a dessert
party I hosted each Christ-
mas,” said Granite Bay resident
and cook Heather Pimental.
“My friends loved it, so I decid-
ed to make it as a gift, and
deliver it Christmas Eve with a
small bottle of maple syrup. All
they have to do is put it in the
oven Christmas morning.”
For the pet or pet lover in
your life, the Doggie Bag Bak-
ery and Boutique offers a vari-
ety of fun items in all price
ranges. Sherrie Ammirato,
owner of the boutique, loves
the sight of a pooch in an
adorable Christmas dress.
“Doggie Christmas dresses
range between $30 and $40,
and doggie jackets are around
$60. We also have raincoats
that fit small to large dogs, like
Mastiffs. They are water resist-
ant, and have a reflective
stripe,” Ammirato said.
KAI’S BOOKS
8799 Auburn Folsom Road
783-5247
The store also carries higher-
end items like pet carriers, as
well as inexpensive treats like
their best-selling flossies for
dogs.
“Flossies are made from beef
tenderloin, and are 100 percent
digestive, as opposed to
rawhide, which isn’t,” Ammira-
to said. “The movement of the
treat in the mouth does a won-
derful job of cleaning plaque
from teeth.”
Cat treats are on hand as
well, like the addicting Kitty
Kaviar, and cute collars.
For literature lovers, both
young and old, books make a
perfect gift, and Kai’s Books has
an outstanding collection of
like-new used books that will
fit any budget.
A “basket” of books is ideal,
and can be tailored to any
interest.
Owner John Duplice and his
elves have been hard at work
packaging gift baskets that
include titles of a particular
interest or genre, shrink
wrapped, and topped with,
perhaps, a gift certificate and a
pretty bow.
“We like to package books by
popular genre or series,”
Duplice said. “Popular kids’
books make a great gift pack, or
cookbooks, for example.”
Whether it be a fantasy-
lover’s basket, a historical-fic-
tion-lover’s basket, or anything
else, the possibilities are end-
less.
Buying a series of books this
way is less expensive than at a
new book store, and the elves
at Kai’s will help create a cus-

tom gift pack and transform

the books into a lovely gift for
you.
“Books make great gifts,
especially for kids, when you
don’t know what toys to buy, or
if certain toys are appropriate,”
Duplice said. “Books usually
have age recommendations on
them, and they’re also easy to
pass on to others when you’re
done with them.”
Duplice said their inventory
changes every day, offering a
great variety.
If paper isn’t your loved one’s
passion, clay makes a beautiful
gift, too.
Not the cold, wet and lumpy
kind, but the stunning, hand-
crafted and fired kind.
The Clay Corner offers the
finest in ceramics and pewter,
from areas throughout the
world. Owner Cricket Ogren
visits countries such as Italy,
Mexico and Poland to bring
back the most beautiful, high
quality pieces.
“My sister says I just have the
pottery gene,” Ogren said,
about the passion that allowed
her to open her shop in the
Quarry Ponds Center in 2006.
CLAY CORNER
5530 Douglas Blvd.
791-2529
Theclaycorner.com
“I don’t limit myself to one
country.”
In addition to Mexican and
European wares, Ogren carries
a pewter line from South Africa
that’s hugely popular.
“Spoon rests, salt cellars, sal-
ad forks, it’s very arty – very
whimsical,” she said.
Salad servers, that cradle
together, and are named “kiss,”
tall candlestick figures, named
“stretch,” are also popular.
The store carries small, dec-
orative boxes from Italy in the
$30 range, to large vases and
urns that are over $1,000.
The Clay Corner at the Quarry Ponds features Italian Christ-
mas decorative pottery for sale and always makes a great
gift for anyone on your list.
“My customers want to
come in, drive right up, and
walk in. They don’t want to go
hiking miles in to a mall,”
Ogren said.
When it comes to beauty,
Granite Galleries can’t be beat
for their excellent selection of
magnificent works of art.
And right now, the gallery
has great prices on most
pieces, up to 70 percent off,
and 30 percent off custom
framing.
“Most of our pieces are by
national artists – the stuff peo-
ple would see if they went to
Carmel, New York or San Fran-
cisco, said owner Janet Anton.
“We have high-end repro-
ductions, and original work,

newest catering and
quick lunch spot.
2 Hens, which occupies the
space that was formerly Pull-
man Kitchen in Quarry Ponds
Center, has so much to cluck
about.
While offering traditional
favorites like chunky chicken
salad, tri-tip and grilled veggie
sandwiches, owner Gina
Haskell and her partner, Lisa
Kring, know the importance of
flexibility and giving customers
what they want.
“People love the crab cakes,
chicken enchiladas and pot
pies - the chicken salad wrap
has always been our signature
dish,” Haskell said.
With a variety of savory
delights on the menu, it’s a rare
occasion when customers
don’t find exactly what they
want.

minutes and I’ll put it together
for you,’” Haskell said.
She has been known to run
next door to Vande Rose Farms
Meat and Fish Market for a
particular cut of meat, or
across to Bay Gourmet Market
to pick up some mortadella for
a classic French sandwich, or
fixings for a Nicious salad for
her regulars.
“We really try to accommo-
date people,” Haskell said.
But counter service is only a
fraction of what the hens do.
With a combined 40 years in
the food service industry,
much of it in catering, the
women’s culinary talents really
shine.
Preparing for a busy holiday
season, dishes like whipped
sweet potatoes, buttermilk-
with-parmesan-mashed pota-
toes, and mushrooms stuffed
with sausage and pancetta
graced Thanksgiving tables
throughout Granite Bay.
The duo has plenty of sea-
sonal December delights in
store as well.

Kring said she can’t wait to

“We’re really going back to

that a lot of people aren’t famil-

you?
Be sure you have a well-lit
place to interview and then
shoot the interview in

duction then stick to your
script. Stop shooting occasion-

you are ending the taping, sum

his favorite song or reciting a
poem, or by including memo-

Bringing in the New Year
In the next few weeks, look
back on the previous year and
talk about the wonderful

activities your family enjoyed
from A to Z. Write down these
special events or memorable
moments on strips of paper
and put them in a memory
box. On New Year’s Eve, take
turns reading them.
Design funny hats to wear
on New Year’s Eve and have
everyone tell jokes. To top it off,
have a family sleepover in the
living room, welcoming in
2010. Happy Holidays!

return discounts and addition-
al savings at retailer’s online
storefronts.
The codes are often provided
by retailers themselves looking
to drive prices down and site
traffic up. However, site users
also have the ability to share
codes and deals they’ve
learned about from mailers or

magazine articles.
Savvy online shoppers, like
Rodriguez find out about the
discounts and deals by Google
searching the name of the store
they’re shopping at and promo
codes, or by entering a specific
discount following the retailer’s
name.
“I usually look for the free

shipping codes,” Rodriguez
said. “Shipping can really add
up, which is why I think a lot of
people don’t like online shop-
ping.”
Tossing his hat into the pro-
mo code business is Granite
Bay native Tyler Stauss, 24, who
recently launched his own site,
gopromocodes.com from his
Roseville home.
Seeing an opportunity to
launch his own business with
low overhead and no addition-
al staff, Tyler and his older sis-
ter Alison began their promo
code site in August. The site
currently features around 2,800
online retailers who submit
their discounts and special
promotions to Tyler for sub-
mission onto the site.
“That way my customers
know that they are legitimate
offers, not fraudulent ones or
fake ones that you might find
on other sites,” Tyler said.
“They all also have the expira-
tion dates posted so there’s no
playing around trying to find
ones that work, they’re right

there.”
Online shoppers can search
for the item or the retailer
they’re shopping to find the
discounts and promotions that
are available.
The other advantage, said
business partner and sister Ali-
son, is that there’s no limit to
the savings. Users can enter
multiple promotion codes
onto a site like Target to get free
shipping, 20 percent off and
other discounts in one transac-
tion.
“It’s a great way to get your
shopping done while cutting
back during these tough eco-
nomic times,” Alison said.
The Stauss’ site is also for
shoppers who prefer to give
back with the gifts they give.
Gopromocodes.com donates
10 percent of its revenue to the
American Cancer Society.
“It’s a win-win situation,” Ali-
son said. “Shopping on our site
saves money and puts money
into cancer research.”
Although Tyler admits busi-
ness is a bit slow, he said his
sights are set on traffic picking
up around the holiday season.
“Instead of going out at 3
a.m. on Black Friday, I can stay
at home and get my shopping
done and have it shipped for
free.” Rodriguez said. “I don’t
have to fight crowds and it’s
more convenient that way.”

Where did the time go?
he number one reason
T
time.
why people don’t exercise
is that they don’t have
At least that’s what they tell
themselves.
I know we are all busy.
Between getting to and from
work, balancing responsibili-
ties and having time for you,
there’s little left over for work-
outs.
With the holiday season
upon us, our busy schedule is
sure to get even busier. There
will be parties, shopping, dec-
orating, cooking and family
gatherings. It’s no wonder that
exercise quickly takes a back-
seat to holiday activities.
You don’t have to succumb
to weight gain this holiday sea-
son. Escape the time crunch
excuse in three easy steps:
Step One
Schedule your workouts:
You’ve heard this before, and it
makes so much sense. If you
treat your exercise time with
the importance of a work
meeting then you’d never skip
a workout and you’d be in
amazing shape.
While the scheduling con-
cept is brilliant in its simplicity,
you have to put it into practice
to reap the benefits. Pull out
your calendar and a pen. If you
want to get into shape it starts
with committing to a revised
schedule with a set exercise
time.
Identify three 40-minute
time slots and mark them on
your calendar. That is when
you’ll exercise.
Remember this: if the
thought that you should exer-
cise this week is floating
around in your head, but you
haven’t anchored it down to a
specific time and date, then it
will quickly disappear.
Step Two
Get the most from each
minute: The days of endless,
mind-numbing cardio are
over. A great workout can take
place in under an hour, when
done correctly. The idea is to
burn more calories each
minute. This is done through
short, intense bursts of exer-
cise.
Use the following three tips
to bring your routine up to the
next level:
Be unstable
Use your entire body, and
target your core, by performing
22 DECEMBER • GRANITE BAY VIEW
Debra
Skelton
Fitness
Column
exercises that engage stabiliz-
ing muscles. To do this use an
exercise ball, a balance board,
a balance disk, or you could
simply stand on one leg.
Add resistance
The more resistance that you
incorporate with your routine
translates into higher intensity
and more calories burned.
Some ideas for adding resist-
ance include: carrying dumb-
bells while doing lunges, wear-
ing a weighted vest while walk-
ing or jogging, or putting a
weight between your feet while
doing leg raises.
Use intervals
Interval training is an amaz-
ing tool for creating short yet
effective workouts. Don’t wor-
ry, it’s not complicated. Inter-
val training is simply alternat-
ing between different short
bursts of activity.
Here’s an example: Let’s say
you want to focus on your legs
and abs and get an effective
cardiovascular workout. This
would be a great interval rou-
tine for your goals:
• Lunge while curling dumb-
bells, 15-20 repetitions
• 30 seconds of intense car-
dio: sprint, jump rope, or
jumping jacks
• Squat while pressing
dumbbells overhead, 15-20
repetitions
• 30 seconds of intense car-
dio: sprint, jump rope, or
jumping jacks
• Crunches on an exercise
ball, 15-20 repetitions
• 30 seconds of intense car-
dio: sprint, jump rope, or
jumping jacks
• Leg raises off the end of an
exercise bench, 15-20 repeti-
tions
