Giveaway Time and New Stuff

I'm sort of up and running again. Sort of. Well, let's just say I'm part way there. Hopefully black friday will get me all the way there.

anyway...

I wanted to announce another giveaway going on over at Eighteen25 . I love this blog. I get so many great creative ideas from these sisters. Check them out. And while you are there, be sure to enter the giveaway for a chance to win $25.00 to the shop.

I've got some new items to get in the shop. I've been dabbling in wire wrapped rings. They are so fun. I'm loving the new little additions to my jewelry box. Hope you do too.







And, on another note. I'm finally making some progress in my dining room area. Painted the table and chairs over the weekend. Painted the table white and the chairs red. Crazy, I know. Spray painted the brass fixture that was hanging in another spot and moved it over the table. Now I feel like I actually have a nice place to feed my family. I'll upload a picture soon. It's nice to check one thing off the never ending house list. Feels good.

Beach Glass

We've been collecting kryptonite at our house. I guess it's what you do when you live close to a lake. The boys were most stoked about the tiny blue shards and little yellow one. I was most excited about the pale pink one.

I've got my mind thinking about what to do with all this glass. We'll have to see what I come up with.


In the mean time, this week I'll be having another giveaway.

Check out My Give Away Today on Friday for a chance to win one of two $15 dollar gift certificates to the shop.

Date Night and a Giveaway

Here's what I wore as my date night accessory last night: Simple Indian Summer

I wouldn't sell stuff I wouldn't wear myself.

Date night was awesome. Went to an arcade place, got a bunch of tokens, and had a duel with my better half to see who was better at ski-ball. (Insert childhood dream of owning a ski-ball machine in my basement.) Then we cashed in our tickets to get some awesome prizes. My man bought me a bee-au-ti-ful ruby heart shaped ring. Stunning! What did I get my man in return? An aw-e-some army dog tag necklace. And, we wore them all evening. Cause, that's how cool we are.

Until...... my ruby fell out.

Gasp.

What's your favorite "going out for a night on the town" accessory? Do tell.
