Christmas BOGO Sale

 

I know it's right before Christmas and if you're like me, you are all shopped out!

But in preparation for the new year, and for a limited time, how about another BOGO sale?

It doesn't happen too often, but I'm ready to clear out the old to make room for the new.

 

 

The details:

 

* Buy any item and get the second 50% off.  Does NOT apply to custom orders or monogramming.

 

* The sale extends to both the website & the Etsy shop.

They both are pretty much stocked with the same items ( website has a bit better of a selection and more size 5/6 items ) so it's just a matter of which you prefer to use.

 

* Unfortunately neither site has a good way to use a coupon code at checkout for a BOGO discount. You will have to wait for a revised invoice if you purchase off Etsy OR you can go ahead and complete payment and we will issue a refund for the discount.

On the website, you must complete checkout before the order will come through, but you will receive an immediate refund for the difference.

 

* Orders will have a 2 week ship time. So, don't make a purchase and expect to get it by Christmas.

Not gonna happen. :0)

 

If you have any questions that weren't addressed here, just contact me and I will get back to you ASAP!

 

Happy Monday!  :)

 

New Items :: Part I

 

 

Some of the new items are now available in both shops! Sorry, I'm having to do this in two batches due to time restrictions... more will be up tomorrow. :)

 

Check it out here & here.

 

The holiday pinnie above is VERY limited, so I suggest you grab one fast if you are interested!! The pinafore below is holiday-ish without being limited to just the Christmas season and is not limited in availability. My photos don't really show the colors very well in the fabrics used, but in addition to red and green it has pink and baby blue - very fun color combo and MUCH cuter in person!! ( you can probably get a better idea of the fabric's actual appearance in the photo of the hair accessory, also below ) This one would look great with a monogram ~ especially in pink or blue!

 

 

 

There are also new Bloom hair accessories to match some of the new pinnies.

 

 

A little note about these...

Now you can choose between a headband OR a hair clip. I've had requests for both  so rather than create separate listings for each, you will be able to specify your preference when you order. Much easier for all of us! :0)

 

Another new one and an absolute favorite of mine right now!! 

Love the colors and the prints.

 

 

 

Alrighty, that's all for today! More tomorrow, including some ready-to-ship samples!

 

Have a happy Monday! :)

Hello December!

 

Wow. All my good intentions of getting back to regular blogging went out the window this fall!

And now it's December.

Already.

 

The last few months have been crazy busy. I ended up traveling quite a bit during September & October, had a precious new niece born and have just flat had a lot of stuff going on. Amazing how much time "stuff" can take up, isn't it?!

 

But I really, really am ready to starting posting regularly again. For real this time. Consider it one of my New Year's resolutions a month early.

 

This is my absolutely.favorite.time.of.year. and so I have lots to post about. :)

 

First things first though...

 

I DO have new items coming either by this weekend or no later than Monday. Most of them will be available for immediate shipment and there will also be a few samples for sale. 

 

And, you now have another place to shop besides the website...

check out the new Etsy shop.

So call me crazy, but yes, I did open a completely new one.  I've been toying with the idea for awhile now and finally decided to just DO it.  You may ask what was wrong with the other one and the truth of the matter is, I just thought the shop name was too much of a mouthful. Really. It was bugging me. Silly, I know, but there you have it!

So, nothing is new but the name. Everything else is the same old LG.

I think that's all the news I have for now. I'll be back again to update you when the new items are up.

 

For now I will leave you with a few photos that I managed to quickly snap when I took two of my nieces to the Gaylord Texan this week to see their spectacular holiday displays.

 

There were some awesome photo ops, but trying to get two very excited little girls to stay still long enough to take advantage of them was impossible!

We had fun though. Who has time for pictures with so much to see anyway?! :0)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Worth giving to, even if you don't win.

Many blog posts have already been written about this fantastic project, so I'll try to keep mine short and sweet.  :)  If you have NOT heard about it,  I encourage you to visit the link above or Julie's blog for all the details.

Here's a little something you don't know about me:

I am a water snob.

Seriously.

I only drink purified bottled water from a cooler in my house.  If I do not have access to my own water,  I buy bottled water.  I never touch tap water unless there is NO other option.  But I would drink it if it's all I had. 

Some people do not even have the tap water that I consider so icky,  much less bottled water.  Some people do not have the option to choose what kind of water they want to drink like you and I do.  They can not even conceive of being able to make that kind of choice.  It would blow their mind away.  They just want

CLEAN WATER!

I know that at this time of year there are so many charities to consider giving to with large needs that need to be met. Many of us are on a budget and though we'd love to give to them all, we just can't.  But, if you have not yet thought about where you and your family might like to donate to this year,  then maybe you could think about this?

Just $10 will get you an entry into a raffle to win a fabulous prize bundle.  But more than that,  it helps to build a well.

A well for clean water.

To save lives.

It's a win-win situation.

$5,000 will build one.  That's 500 $10 donations.

Impossible?

No!

This Christmas let's think about putting our wish lists aside and doing something more meaningful.  Involve the whole family.  Tell your children about it. 

 Go visit the Project 320 blog and check out all the goodies to be won!  3 bundles a day featuring items from over 300 donations.  Lots of handmade goodies. 

Thanks to Julie for making us all aware of this need and to all those involved in putting the whole project together.

quotable.

"And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more."

Back

Sorry for the absence the last few days... I had a computer complication.  :) There is so much to mention and not enough time to fit it into one post! Hopefully I can resume more regular postings next week, but I'll just keep this one simple for the weekend.

I had planned on doing a giveaway this week, but obviously it didn't happen!  I think I'll save it for next week since I'm not sure I will be able to monitor it this weekend.

So instead, how about a holiday special?

This pinafore:

{ Joyful }

Is 20% off through Sunday night (midnight CST).  There are only 4 left I think. Do't remember for sure though! :)  I can't give you a coupon code to use because if you purchase other things, it will take the discount off the entire order and not just this item, but I will turn right around and send a partial refund.

Remember, it's ready to ship right out, so you can have it just in time for any upcoming Christmas parties and events!! 

Have a wonderful weekend ~ Only 21 more days until Christmas! :0)

Hello December!

Happy Tuesday & Happy December!

The new holiday items are on the website finally!!! 

It is ALL ready to ship except for the SNOW turtleneck which will ship within 48 hours. I know I am a little late in getting these out, but it was a busy fall and actually, if you think about it, last year I had a 7-10 business day wait time, so even though I had holiday up sooner, things were still shipping about this time. :)

Because it is ready to ship there is a very limited amount of everything available. If you see it and you like it, I suggest you grab it!  I will consider custom orders for the SNOW set { the pieces are sold separately, by the way! } once it sells out, and may continue to carry it through January just because it is not specifically holiday but just a cute winter print. I'll try to get better pics of that one, too... Not sure what's going on with these,  but I have taken them twice already and just can't get 'em right!  Argh.

See you tomorrow with some giveaway info...

Have a great day! :0)

 

PS ~ The Pumpkin & Spice pinnie is on clearance!  It was for Thanksgiving,  but really could be worn all winter...

Not many left! :)

Psst...

Yes, I confess...

I have been listening to Christmas music.  I resisted as long as I could,  but temptation overcame me.  :)  I have lots of Christmas stations on Pandora, scores of CD's and downloaded music, so I need more time than just from Thanksgiving through Christmas day to listen...

I have also been adding to my collection of Christmas decor.  I will just state it now: It's an addiction of mine.  A serious one.

We have boxes and boxes and boxes of decorations and every year more is added.  I've been pretty good so far this year,  but a trip to Anthropologie over the weekend was not a good thing.

I for sure did not buy all I wanted to, but definitely was not walking away without this:

I am always on the hunt for good snow and this is just gorgeous!  And besides, the packaging can be used in with the decor, so I got two things in one! ;)

Couldn't resist this beauty either ( not from Anthro, but a local shop ):

As well as these garlands:

I have not actually started decorating yet,  but it's on my mind obviously!! I had  planned on beginning this week partly because it takes so long to get it all up and and partly because we have family coming in this weekend for Thanksgiving, but I am not sure we're going to be able to make it happen.  I have to finish putting together the table centerpieces for T-day dinner first and that's been slow-going.  Who knows though...

What about you?  Are you listening to Christmas music and dusting off your decorations, too? ;)
