Your turn!

I'm going to have to get me some of these come April. Yup, baby number two is on it's way and I like my sleep so if I have my way I'll always have the "off duty" pillow.

So yes, I'm pregnant! You may be seeing more baby themed posts the next little while. Just a heads up. ; )

These awesome pillows can be found on Spoon Sisters. Click here!

What's Your Fortune?

Check out this fantastic coin purse by Laura Victore of Victore NYC. I'm so in love with it! What a unique idea. The purse is made out of suede and the fortune out of satin ribbon. Too fun!
I found this great item via the blog LushLee (formerly Jars of Cute). I love, love, love this blog. If you're not familiar with it you should be. Click here!

And the Winner is....

SoBella Creations!
Congratulations! I'll be emailing you shortly! A huge thank you to everyone who entered. It was so interesting reading all of your favourite things about Halloween! I'm sorry you couldn't all win. Look for October's Giveaway coming soon!

My favourite thing about Halloween is giving out candy. Unfortunately we only get about 20 kids in a good year so it's not quite as fun. My wee boy is getting older now though so taking him around this year will be a highlight I'm sure! Also the Charlie Brown special is totally awesome. Got to watch that! Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Winner choosen randomly with random.org.

Photo Friday


Whenever I see a lollipop like this I think of Disneyland. Weird right? Let me explain. The first time my parents took me to Disneyland I was 8 (I think!). There was a tiny little candy shop inside the castle just as you walked through it. It was filled to the brim with candy of all shapes and sizes but I only had my eye on the giant, round lollipop. The image of that candy shop will forever be burnt into my brain even if now that little shop no longer sells candy but cheesy glass princess figurines instead. : (
All that just to introduce you to this weeks Photo Friday. This amazing photo can be found in the shop Weber Photography on Etsy. I love the colours, I love the imperfections and I love that it makes me remember! Be sure to check out this shop for tons of amazing photographs.

The Littlest Birds Sing the Prettiest Songs

I don't know if you remember this song or have ever even heard it. It's called The Littlest Birds by a Vancouver Canada group called The Good Be Tanyas. This song was on a Zellers commercial a few years ago. I rediscovered it this week and I'm so in love! It's just such an upbeat sounding song, it makes me so happy! Click here for a sample of The Littlest Birds, here for the lyrics to this song and here for samples of more songs by The Good Be Tanyas. Enjoy!

New Blog!

You may have noticed I added a new badge to my blog recently under the "You Can Also Find Me On....." section. This is because recently Linda with the A La Mode blog asked me if I'd like to be a contributor on her blog. I have been following Linda's blog for awhile now and love it so of course I immediately said yes. So periodically you'll find posts by me highlighting different Etsy shops. Today was my first post (see picture below). So exciting!

I'm so honored that Linda asked me to contribute to her blog. I hope I do her proud!


What Day is it Again?

I so need this "Today is....Bangle". September has been soooo busy I'm seriously having a hard time remembering what day it is. This Bangle would help very much. It's made with recycled scrap sterling silver, is hand stamped and has a moveable marker so you can set it to the right day and you're good to go. This fantastic item can be found in the amazing shop Yellowgoat on Etsy. I absolutely love this shop. There are so many unique pieces of jewellry (be sure to check out the Good Time Ring, amazing!).

Yellow Goat also has a fantastic blog. It's a must see. Click here.

I made this treasury a couple of days ago and I can't believe how well it's doing. It's on page 1 for hotness in the treasury list! Congratulations to everyone who's in it!

Oh how I love the shop Opart on Etsy. I just discovered this shop yesterday and fell in love. I had a very hard time picking photos to feature.
