baby lovenotes and whimsy hair notions GIVEAWAY!

hello to all my readers, both old and new! i have some exciting news!
My dear friend Colleen at Whimsy Hair Notions has partnered with me for another GREAT BIG giveaway! This is going to be big. If you haven't checked out her page, either on Facebook or Etsy, go. do. it. NOW! Her flower clips are beautiful, and her hand knitted hats are awesome! Levi has one of her newsboy style hats, and even though it doesn't stay on his head for longer than 15 seconds, it's adorable. And I have high hopes some day he'll wear it ;)
For this giveaway, Colleen has sent me a whole box of beautiful deep purple flower clips, with plenty of sparkle, sass, and style! And for my part, I will be making a personalized, custom fabric covered initial hair clip holder. (This is a BRAND NEW product for my shop. So new, I've only made one and I don't even have a picture to entice you with! But trust me, it's good!) This package will be perfect for any little lady in your life. Unfortunately, it won't be over in time to be an in-time for Christmas gift, but it could be a great gift for a birthday, shower gift, or even a late Christmas present ;)

{giveaway madness}

one of my favorite things about reading blogs from around the country is the unexpected giveaways. this country is full of generous, creative people who are always showing off their creativity and their friends. as you know, i heart etsy a ridiculous amount. through some random avenues, i found another amazing blog, full of creativity and love. fabulous-k is having an amazing giveaway this week, two giveaways per day! it's also some amazing free advertising for her friends and clients. for example, i found something i heart beyond a lot, that otherwise i wouldn't have found. case in point below, the vintage pearl. how sweet is this necklace. i love it so much. of course, i entered hers (and the other 8!!! so far) giveaways, but i just had to share this amazing find with all my friends. so lovely.

(i stole the picture from the vintage pearl's website, want to give credit!)

do yourself a flavor, and go to visit fabulous-k's blog, check out the other amazing goodies that are being offered this week. the diaper bags (how cute!!), sweet tutu's, delicious personalized stationery (sooo great!) i have a feeling many of these folks will be getting a share of my birthday money! :)
