One Small Child $50 Gift Certificate {Giveaway} – CLOSED

May 3, 2014 by Leave a Comment

The little guy is 3-months today.  Wow.  That went by fast!  I still haven’t given you his birth story.  In time.  In time.  🙂   Definitely before he turns one.  Deal?  His birth was a very memorable one (remember only 5 minutes after we got to the hospital), so it will not be forgotten anytime soon.  😉  Tomorrow he will be given a name (for the records of our church) and a blessing.  We kept him home from church for a while, because of cold/flu season.  It’s safe to take him now.  So it’s time to get this boy blessed!  When I was searching around for a little blessing outfit for him I came across One Small Child.  This shop is known for their christening gowns.  It’s no wonder that they have so many different styles to choose from.

 Each one more gorgeous than the next.

 

Did you know that One Small Child has more than just blessing outfits?  It’s true.  So very true.  One Small Child actually sent us this adorably dandy gift set for our newest arrival:

Isn’t it adorable???  The older two are certainly having a blasts playing with the new baby.  And Banjo…  Well, he claimed that little blue suitcase for his very own.  It’s the perfect size for him to keep all of his treasures in.

Monkey Face

April 30, 2014 by Leave a Comment

I’m so very glad that it decided to turn chilly around here again.  Not.  Will this winter ever end???  Okay so I just might be exaggerating slightly.  It’s not like it’s snowing outside or anything.  It’s not exactly freezing.  Okay it’s only in the 40’s right now here in St. Louis today.  But that’s cold, right?  It should NEVER be in the 40’s in April.  At least not in the Lou!  Good thing toADORN sent this monkey hat for Banjo.  He has been able to wear it.  In APRIL.

IMG_8966.pngIt’s super cute though, right?

Here’s to hoping he won’t be wearing it in May.  😉

Simple Addiction {Giveaway} ***ENDED***

July 23, 2012 by 3 Comments

Who doesn’t love a good deal?  That pretty much covers everyone.  It covers me especially.  🙂  You all know that I’m all about a good deal.  However, it’s possible that you don’t know to what extent I’ll go for a good deal.  Only my close friends know this about me, because it (like my fabric addiction) is just the slightest bit embarrassing.  ***The embarrassing part of it has more to do with the cringing that takes place.  You will ready more about that below***  In my case the deal obsession can be embarrassing, but necessary I tell you!  Recently I’ve decided that there is no reason for me to be embarrassed or keep it a secret from anyone.  Saving money shouldn’t be embarrassing!  It’s smart, right?  So at the risk of full disclosure I’m going to open up just a small part of my deal finding life to you.  This way all you deal lovers can possibly learn something new.  And those of you who have yet to embark on the dandy deal way of life will be sucked right in.  😉   Are you ready???  Here’s the extent to which my good deal seeking goes…

Basically I don’t ever buy anything at full price.  For those rare times when I do have to pay full price I simply cringe when I make the purchase.  Then every time I see the full priced item in my house I’m reminded of that horrible day.  Then I cringe again.  Over and over.  A very tragic cycle.  It’s sad really.  But I always go back for more.  Which means I  love saving money and that’s definitely not a bad thing!  I adore finding a good deal.  When I spot something that’s a good deal that can be used, for say a gift 6 months away, then I just buy it right up.  This comes in handy especially for Christmas gifts.  There’s no reason to pull your hair out shopping in November and December.  Buy gifts as you find them all throughout the year that’s what I say.  Like over the weekend I actually  purchased this adorable alphabet stamp kit:

Okay I may have bought more than one.  But they are adorable and…

At only $9 each they make very dandy Christmas gifts!

Think about it… Add a cutesy little scrapbook…

Very dandy gift!  🙂

Well, get excited, because with this feature giveaway I’m going to let you in on a little secret.  The secret for where to find a really good deal.  But I’m not talking about just any kind of deal.  I’m thinking more along the lines of a deal that is extra special and doesn’t come along that often.  A dandy good deal.

Simple Addiction is THE place to find the best deals on unique, boutique items.  They literally take the hours and hours of searching for the most dandy of items out of your hands.  Giving you that extra time to focus on all of the many other things that you have to do!  Plus, all the items at Simple Addiction come with an impressively small price tag!  The vendors they work with offer items at 50-80% off retail prices.  See I told you it was a way dandy of a deal!  That alphabet stamp kit?  You can get the deal right now at Simple Addiction, but it ends soon so you gotta act fast!

Here are just a few of the other deal items that were previously spotted at Simple Addiction:

 

 

 Don’t you love Simple Addiction???  I’m so excited about this giveaway, because it’s for a way dandy prize pack:

  • 5 glitter headbands
  • 1 owl necklace
  • set of 25 paper straws
  • 1 silicone slap watch (winner’s choice of color)
  • set of 5 chalkboard vinyl labels
Told you.  Very dandy giveaway!

Shop Imagineers {Giveaway} ***ENDED***

July 9, 2012 by 9 Comments

I’ve long dreamed of opening up some sort of little shop.  You know those cute little shops in those quaint popular tourist destinations across the U.S.?  Love them!  Yep I even purposely pick vacations that involve shopping of that magnitude.  Sometimes.  Okay a lot of the time.  Well, my dream involves opening up one of those shops.  Probably a boutique of sorts, because I’m such a fan of fashion.  Not that I’m all that fashionable myself, but I’m really good at picking out fashion for others.  😉    I don’t see my dream coming true any time soon.  Okay probably never.  So it’s a good thing that others follow through with their dreams.  Then I can oooo and ahh over those shops… Especially shops like Shop Imagineers, because I can then oooo and ahhh from my very own living room!  This shop is seriously extraordinary and I’m so glad to have found it online.

Before I get started on all the contents of this shop that I love… I have to first tell you what I love most about Shop Imagineers.  For reasons that are close to home for Shop Imagineers they help to support the Stroke Foundation and raising awareness of how quickly a stroke can strike.  This is something that is very near and dear to my heart, because my grandmother has had multiple strokes.  She does have some major deficits, but we are lucky to have her with us still.  Thank you Shop Imagineers for taking your experience and using it to help others.  I also wish you well on the road to your own recovery.

Shop Imagineers literally has everything that that I would order in for my dream shop.  That I am sure, because it has everything that is fabulously dandy!  Shop Imagineers has pizazz with gorgeous scarves:

 I love pretty poppies!

How about classy cosmetic bags?

Yep Shop Imagineers has got ’em from Sally Spicer!

More???

There’s also fashion and fun for the kiddies:

 

   

Tokyo Bay Watches:

Now Audi knows where to get my gift for our upcoming 10 year anniversary!

Oh and Shop Imagineers has a ton of gorgeous handbags:

Hello again Sally Spicer!

 

Need I say more???  🙂   Speaking of gorgeous handbags…

The winner of this giveaway is going to receive the Hemptress Foldover Bag compliments of Shop Imagineers!  This beauty retails for $80, so this is one very dandy giveaway!

Mikarose {Giveaway} ***ENDED***

June 25, 2012 by 15 Comments

I dress up every Sunday.  Sometimes I dress up other days out of the week, but for sure on Sunday.  It’s the day I attend church.  Growing up my mom taught us that we were to wear our Sunday best to church and well, it just sort of stuck with me.  So I always wear either a skirt or a dress on Sunday.  Knowing this about me then I’m sure it’s not surprising that I own lots of dresses and skirts.  I’m not going to show you a picture of my closet, because it is just a tad bit embarrassing.  I might be a collector of clothing…  I just love clothes and buying them, okay?  😉   So you won’t get to see my closet today, but I will give you a glimpse of my newest dress that’s hanging in there:

Compliments of Mikarose!

Isn’t the extra detail gorgeous???

What else do I really need in my closet from Mikarose?

Well, for starters I love the look of this dress:

 

And this one:

 

And this one:

With this belt of course:

 

Okay so I basically love everything that is Mikarose!

 

I’m telling Audi that I need to order this skirt.  Like this week.

 One of my lucky readers is going to receive a $50 gift certificate to spend at Mikarose!  But you gotta enter to win!  🙂

*This giveaway is open to entries from the US and Canada only

*Winners are not notified through email, so you have to check back to find out if you won! The winner of this giveaway will be posted no later than the evening of Monday, July 2nd. Be sure and check back then to see if you won, so you can claim your prize!

{Giveaway} My Baby Belts ***ENDED***

June 11, 2012 by 9 Comments

My Audi is a tall guy.  He’s 6’4.  That’s where Banjo gets his tallness from.  It’s definitely not from my Brit heritage.  My father is short.  His father was short.  His father and grandfather were short.  So… I’m short!  Banjo gets the tall gene from the Smith side.  I just need to face it and come to terms with the fact that he’s always going to be tall and probably always going to be skinny.  Banjo cannot keep his pants up without a belt.  If he’s belt less then he’s tugging and pulling to avoid the embarrassment of his drawers dropping to the ground.  Making it not so easy to run around the playground with his friends.  Many of the belts out there for his age group are sort of blah.  Okay they are major blah.  I’m talking baby looking with animals on them.  Not fashionable at all.  Blah.  Children’s belts don’t have to be blah.  They can be functional and fashionable!  With My Baby Belts you don’t have to sacrifice the fashion with a belt that is blah.  The kiddos can be high style with a belt that does the job of keeping the pants in the right place.

 

 

Can’t you just picture Banjo sporting this stylish belt?

I can!

 

Or how about this simple, but fashionably classic belt?

Perfect for all wardrobes!

And if Ruby has the skinny gene (which the percentiles are already showing that to be true) then My Baby Belts has her covered too!

I majorly heart this one!  🙂

Are of ’em all so very dandy!

Want to win a belt from My Baby Belts???  Well, then this is your lucky day!  One lucky winner is going to receive a belt of choice from My Baby Belts!  Don’t want to wait to see if you won?  Then use coupon code:  ‘Dandy’ to get 10% off your order!

*This giveaway is open to entries worldwide

*Winners are not notified through email, so you have to check back to find out if you won! The winner of this giveaway will be posted on Monday, June 18th. Be sure and check back then to see if you won, so you can claim your prize!
