festive frills giveaway

Giveaway #7



We're loving all this cute baby stuff we're giving away! This giveaway comes from Festive Frills, offering ready-made and custom-order accessories for babies and toddlers. This is pretty brilliant--a birthday party set with a birthday shirt, a number ribbon, and decorations that all coordinate!


We also love her huge flowers for baby girls' heads (I love it when the flower is almost as big as the head!) and her funky felt flower headbands.




So since we've given a way a ton of baby girl stuff in the past, Ashley is offering a baby boy tie applique onesie for one of our lucky readers! And if you don't have a boy, give it as a gift to one of us with boys who has to watch all the cute crafty stuff go to baby girls. Leave us a comment with your favorite boy or girl item in the Festive Frills shop for a chance to win! Entries are due by Saturday, May 30 at 11:59pm PDT.

i have a notion giveaway

Giveaway #6


Kelly from I Have a Notion has to be one of the sweetest people on the blogging scene. Her store by the same name is full of lots of sewing goodies, including quilting, needlework, and sewing notions, plus patterns, books, DVDs, and more, all at a "thrifty" shopper price!

The I Have a Notion blog is full of great product reviews and fun ideas, as well as Kelly's own stories and thoughts. If you're a quilter you have to check out her four-part series on her recent trip to Quilt Market (lucky girl!).

For today's giveaway Kelly is offering four handmade bag tags--you know, the kind you attach to your suitcase, backpack, or gym bag with your name and address? These are much cuter than the cheesy plastic ones that come on the bag, and way better than the paper ones you get at the airline counter. These are simply adorable! They make finding your bag easy, and they're also great conversation starters.



To enter, just visit I Have a Notion online and leave us a comment with what notion you *need* from Kelly's store. The deadline is Saturday, May 30 at 11:59pm PDT, so do it now!

Alright, my friends, it's time to give it up for the beautiful, the talented Vanessa of Uptown Jane! V is someone you definitely want to follow.

No really, she's a good one.

Vanessa's Etsy shop, Uptown Jane, combines darling handmade items with great tutorials and you've-gotta-have-'em supplies (think Moda fabrics and vintage zippers). Check out a few things she's selling now. . .
