Luellabird Giveaway ends 8/21

We've got a great giveaway sponsored by Luellabird!
I'd like to introduce you to Nancy, who's shop specializes in making unique handmade jewelry and vintage treasures.

Photograph by Mycah Schrader Photography


Nancy, tell us a little about yourself..


My inspiration is my Grandmother Luella.  She taught me how to sew and up-cycle items in and around her house into crafts.  So going to Grandmas to me was more of a treat than a torture.  She also loved bird watching in her backyard, and had many bird knick-nacks around her house.  This is all how my inspiration and shop name came about.  She passed away in 2001 from breast cancer, and my shop was named in her honor.



Poppy Brooch Hairclip - LOOOOVE this!
 I was born and raised in a small town in Indiana near the Ohio border, and we now reside in Gainesville, Florida.  My husband works for the University of Florida, and I'm continuing my college education at the university in the Fall.  I participate in local charity festivals for Luellabird every 3-4 months, and I'm also a vendor at the Downtown Union Street Gainesville Farmers Market every Wednesday. Luellabird is also sold in Persona (a vintage, costume, and collectible boutique) and Jeannie's Attic in Thornebrook Village (an upscale furniture and home decor store).


 I only create pieces that I would wear and treasure.  I guess you could say my Goddess necklace is what sparked my interest in starting my own Etsy shop.  I was at my usual coffee spot one morning, and the ladies there commented on my handmade necklace.  The comments continued, and then they asked me to start bringing them in pieces for them to shop from, and one thing lead to another... The pace of small business and the excitement of meeting new people and learning new crafts is exactly where I want to be!

Great news!
You can get 20% off at Luella Bird's etsy store

Get it Personalized! LetterKay Review {& Giveaway!}

I recently received my very own personalized stamp!  Isn't it cool!  I discovered LetterKay completely by accident, but love love love the idea of a personalized stamp!  Who doesn't?!  Always wanted something but couldn't find it?  Here's your chance!  AND they're sooo affordable!

At LetterKay, you will find vintage finds, cards and handmade stamps.  She even takes custom orders and trades!
I love that it comes with instructions to clean and keep your stamp in prime condition as well as a personalized stamped little drawstring bag for it to go in!
The stamp itself came bubble wrapped for protection in the little bag
My stamp came perfectly and was raised far enough above the base so that it doesn't cause the base to accidentally stamp the paper - very important for a stamp!

Also, the edges were clean and crisp!

Don't you have to have one for yourself!?  What are you waiting for?!


Where you can find LetterKay
Etsy store #2:  www.letterkay.etsy.com

Beautiful Swag Store Giveaway! ends 8/14

I've got another great giveaway for you from Beautiful Swag Store!  It contains a great assortment of small, handmade gifts for reasonable prices.  It's my pleasure to introduce you to Samantha Barrett, the founder of this adorable shop!

Hi Sam!  Please tell us a little bit about yourself!

I am a sahm, that was encouraged to sell my gifts I made for others online.  I have started doing that recently.  I enjoy making things for others that bring peace, happiness and balance in their lives.  This also helps to supplement the income when I am unemployed as I currently am.


Check out my other sites, since I often post specials that are not posted elsewhere!  I get inspired by everything.  I can read a book and the pattern on the cover will inspire me.  Sometimes a need for organization will inspire an item in my store that I consider organizational or decorative.  Sometimes it's something as simple as the uniqueness of a flower hair accessory.  A good example of the flower itself as inspiration would be the hot pink and white lotus flower hair accessory.  We saw the bunched flowers together and fell in love.




I also do other things, and love bibs and burp cloths that coordinate for outings!   I love how it makes the baby appear purposely dressed to match without being overly done, if you know what I mean.  So, a lot of the baby items were simply something I wished I had when my children were younger.

Where you can find Beautiful Swag Store:

BUY IT!
For a limited time, YOU can get a 15% discount
Just enter CHRISTMASINJULY2011
during etsy checkout!

WIN IT!
Giveaway open to US and Canada only





One lucky follower is going to win a Beautiful Swag Store prize pack that includes:  one large white blossom alligator clip, flower bobby pins and blue flower ring!  It's so fun and I love it! 
I love how beautiful the large white flower is and its so versitile!   How perfect would that be for your children's hair?  AND you can borrow it, too by clipping it on a plain dress or hat!
