I seriously need to revamp my jewelry shop, Jeweled Ambrosia.AND my Twilight inspired Jewelry shop. It has been far too long since I have added new pieces and updated my photos. Because of this, and because I have my eye on a pair of shoes I would love and other boring things to pay for..., I'm doing a major Spring cleaning sale... 40% OFF the entire shop! Just check out your pieces, leave a note to me in the invoice about the 40% off sale and and I will send you a revised invoice.
To WIN a free piece of jewelry, post this sale on your blog, facebook, twitter, and follow my blog, my Twilight inspired jewelry blog or Jeweled Ambrosia facebook. Leave a comment for each place you repost/follow and I will draw a winner to recieve a free piece of jewelry!
Well, the {outdoor} craft fair is over, thank the skies! I made enough to cover the booth fee, so I could have just stood on a street corner for 8 hours handing out free jewelry, sweating my brains out and getting a sunburn, then crashing at the end of the day... BUT it was a success because I met a lot of really neat Etsy fans, a really cute couple took my photo and biz card for a credit to be in the Keller Citizen newspaper about the fair, and I made a ton of new, AMAZING new hair fascinators and jewelry that will be in the shop this week!! Oh, the reveal is going to be tomorrow, so stay tuned...
In the meantime, I am hosting a GIVEAWAY for a $25 gift certificate at Simple Blue Print. Joanna is the author of the blog and she is such a sweet, down to earth person, who loves typography, fashion, paper and everything else that I love. Go visit her blog and,enter the giveaway there (not here :)
I am starting off the week with a giveaway. Today's cute little gift is from my Aunt Cindy. She is a professional seamstress, and she has even worked on ballets, theatre productions and movie sets (the most recent being High School Musical 3) and she is an expert at period costuming. She has a couple of Etsy shops, Twigs Boutique, hip and trendy clothes for kids and Twirls Boutique, tutus, and other girly things.
This navy blue crochet beanie has a detachable cream flower that can also be worn alone as a clip. It can fit a toddler, on up (it even fits me, though I have a little head!) To be considered for the giveaway, please check out one of her shops and link to your favorite item and why.
If you purchase an item you will get 2 chances to win! Just link back with the item after you purchased it for the extra entry.
Also, I have found some cute Valentine printable freebies for you to enjoy (don't forget to click of the images for a zoom view).
The first is HERE at the wonderful Fanciful Twist (wonderful shop and blog. And the second is here... I for the LIFE of me can't remember where I got this, so PLEASE if you remember or it is you, let me know so I can give a credit!
And wow, I found this uncredited image the other day of a little boutique, and I just had to post it, b/c it is gorgeous and inspiring! As a stylist, I always wanted to own a salon, that offered smoothies, salads and other goodies with a computer bar and pool table and of course, an activity room for weekly classes like yoga, karate, art, and other things, similar to the vision that Noelle Spa has created. However, knowing how difficult and stressful (though rewarding) running a high end salon would be, I would love to settle for a sweet boutique... one day. Here are some inspirational spaces.
And look at this space! Brown Eyes Blue is a salon/upscale boutique, read about it HERE.
Cinderella Window Display from HERE ps, go search Flickr for "Cinderella Display" and you will find some gorgeous images! This display reminds me of my college days. Our laundry room had a huge box for donation/junk clothing, and we always thrifted from there since they never collected the clothes. We once found a horrid vintage wedding dress and we hung it on our living room wall, to threaten the boys that came by I suppose to not mess with us!
One last thing. I love to share treats, but my recipes/photos of such are not so nice. The treats we made this week were S'mores, by roasting the marshmallows on fork tines over a hot oven burner, not so fancy (but oh so yummy). So I am going to share these yummy Chocolate Orange desserts from April's Flowers, recipe found HERE!
Have I ever told you that my husband sleep walks? I haven't? Well, I will give you TWO crazy examples and then tell you about last night.
When we were first married, I awoke, being thrown out of bed, flying through the air and hitting my head on our dresser. Fortunately, my husband's body softened the fall. Apparently, he dreamt I was about to be hit by a speeding bus in his dream, and he was saving my life by throwing me out of the way, what a superhero. Thanks, hon!
Another time, I awoke to a bouncing bed. He was jumping up and down on the bed vigoursly while attaking the ceiling. Little white ceiling popcorn paint chips were all over the place. When I asked what he was doing, he frantically replied something along these lines, "There are plastic sporks coming down on us!" Apparently, some crazy mutant plastic sporks were sneaking up on us and stuck in the ceiling, and yet again, he was saving the day. (I hope the spork wasn't as big as this one from Paul Pape Designs!)
Back to the present. I am on the computer (suprised?) and he is laying on the couch waiting for me. He falls asleep. All of a sudden, he jerks awake and speaks gibberish to me for a minute or so (completely normal for him).
Cute little gnome stamp from Niko Art not quite a midget, but the cutest related thing I could find and still be respectful :)
He screws up his nose and says "Who is in that chair with you? I don't see them anymore, did they leave? Oh, there they are, how can you both fit in that chair? Is there a someone in your chair with you?"
I simply reply, "Yes."
He says, "Really? No... NO! She must be a midget then or something. Why don't you come over here then. Shoot my legs off and carry me around, you little midget lover."
Then, he falls back asleep. I suppose, in sleep theory, by removing his legs, he would then be midget like and I would love him too, like my midget companion that was sharing my seat with me? Weird, huh? But seriously, that is not very weird compared to all of the other sleepwalking/talking events I have encountered in these last 5 years if marriage.
Okay, here is another cute little family thing. We finally figured out how to upload video from our digital camera. Too bad it was after I had already erased our UFO sighting video!! He did a little crazy mouse puppet playtime with Isaac (who has named the mouse Pinky Roo). It's cute and 5 minutes long, so take a look if you want to watch. (Yes, I am on the computer again working on my Etsy shop, Bad Mommy!)
Now, the reason for this post, Jennifer of Elegant Journey is hosting a giveaway on her blog for this lovely button print. She is a sweet designer with pretty art and a much less cluttered blog then mine! Go and enter her giveaway and browse around, she has some cute stuff!
Also, my Thanksgiving feast with my husband's sweet family. We didn't do boring turkey this year, we did FONDUE!! Enjoy our pics, b/c it was Yumm-o!
