Hand Stamped Treasures

Laura at "Hand Stamped Treasures" (Etsy) ROCKS!!
I cannot tell you how pleased I am that I ordered my necklace from Laura's store! It was so unique and personal that I had to have it the moment that I saw it!! Once I purchased my "find," I was dually impressed by the customer service that I received. I was sent a message that same day asking my preference of length of chain. As soon as I got back to her ~ which I can tell you was NOT the same day ~ Laura sent me a message telling me that my necklace had been shipped, again, the SAME DAY that I had got back to her! WOW!!
3 days later, I opened my mailbox to reveal a sweet package inside just for me! The packaging was too cute, with a box and a bow and business card. (Something that you don't see with bigger companies.) Anyhow, I ripped through the wrapping and found my treasure!! Oh, the necklace was BETTER than I remembered from the website pictures! I fell in love and have not taken it off since! (Well, except to shower & sleep.)

And just in case you are wondering...here is a picture of my "PASSION" necklace.

(Yes, I added my own charm to it of a black & white picture.)

So GO!! She is having a few great Mother's Day sales right NOW!! Click on her link above!!

Handmade Goodness!!

Why, Oh Why do handmade clothes have to be so stinkin' cute?!? The more I look at these custom cuties, the more I fall in love! The fabric patterns & textures are amazing, the design individuality is to die for, and the quality seems to be up there with some of the bigger designers of the world! So, I just want to give a Blogger Shout~Out to all of you Custom/Handmade Clothing Designers! You are AMAZING!!

Here are a couple of my favorites:

Baby Gassy Gooma - OH MY!!

Have you SEEN the gorgeous creations coming out of the designer's minds at Baby Gassy Gooma lately?? WOW! That is all that I can say! These clothes are fresh & bright -- just like the way we like it in Spring! I am thrilled with the new styles that they have come up with and I even like that they have got on board with what seems like a big trend right now, Apron Dresses. YAY!
Sometimes I have felt that BGG made the little girls look a bit too grown up, but not with the newest release! Now I can keep my girls & my Baby Gassy Gooma!!

Oh, Matilda Jane for Moms...

You know my feelings about Matilda Jane children's clothing, but since that post I have purchased and wore several Matilda Jane pieces for ME!! Yes Mommies...Denise at Matilda Jane is thinking of YOU too!! She has created an "Adult" section on her website just for you to shop for you!!
So, I have about 10 pieces of Mommy Matilda Jane (as I lovingly refer to it as) that I have been sporting around. Let me just start out by saying...CUTE, TRENDY, & CHIC!! I got several compliments from complete strangers about how they loved my clothes and where did I get them at! (I like getting compliments, but am used to getting them for the way my kids are dressed...not me!) Secondly, I have to mention how EXTREMELY comfy these clothes are to wear! The material is ultra soft and none of the pieces that I own are restricting in any way. I just want to toss out there the versatility of these clothes too. I wore several different types of shoes with the outfits and was able to convey a completely different look simply by changing my shoes! Honestly! I wore winter boots one time, running shoes another time, and high heel sandals the next time. I am thrilled at how many options there are with these clothes! (And my husband doesn't feel like I look the same each day either, which is an added bonus!)

Here is a link to the Matilda Jane "Adults" Section Website:


Enjoy shopping for your Matilda Jane & Thanks Denise for creating a superb line just for us Moms! :)

I am hoping it will be a fun element in the blog that we can look forward to each week! PLEASE JOIN IN!! If you have something that you are thankful for, comment about it! I would love to see what your thoughts are!

This week's Thankful Thursday is:
I bought this from her last month and let me just tell you how ADORABLE this is in person! The fabrics are gorgeous and have such high quality! I got this for my 3 year old daughter to wear on Easter this year, but it is so cute that she will be wearing it a lot! It is too cute and so versatile! I put a pair of jeans on underneath it for a more casual look and it is TDF!!



So, for this, I am thankful to Tammy "Keep On Smiling" at Etsy!

Matilda Jane Anticipation for HOTLINE!

Oh, I can't hardly stand the wait anymore!! I am dying for my Matilda Jane order to be delivered to my door!! I ordered a couple of outfits for each of the girls...and one for ME, even!! YAY! (I never buy for myself!) Never heard of Matilda Jane?? Here is her website: www.matildajaneclothing.com If you have small (or medium) girls...you should really check her stuff out! What is awesome about these clothes is that they are perfect for dressing up or for play! I promise you that Matilda Jane is going to be HOT HOT HOT!!! The "artist" behind the clothes is a mom of 2 boys -- with the dream of having a little girl -- and is AMAZING! She is still selling primarily via Trunk Shows & Art Fairs, but is selling out of nearly everything that she puts out! Wanna buy it?? You will have to find a Trunk Keeper in your local area (try craigslist.com) or hit good ol' Ebay. (But don't expect to get it for a bargain on Ebay...this stuff is selling for MORE than the original price even there!)
So, I have this PERFECT place that I am DYING to take the girls to (in their Matilda Jane, duh!) and do a photo shoot! Every time I drive by it, my mind starts spinning like a whirlwind with ideas of poses & props that I could use! If only some of my shots turn out as awesome as I have them pictured in my mind I would be thrilled! :)
