Sale in the Shop and Another Giveaway (from another blogger)

Head over to my shop! Lots of items have been reduced (SALE!!!) because the listings expire on August 11th and I would really, really rather get some sales than have to re-list or keep all this great stuff in my already-bursting-at-the-seams house. Take a look! If you like something convo me on etsy and be sure to mention the word CHLOE and I will take an additional 10.1% off your order (to celebrate this my 101th post)! Just convo me AFTER making your purchase but PRIOR to paying for your purchase so I can adjust your invoice.

Do you like this??? Wanna win it??? Just pop over to Creative Writings 101 and enter her 50th post celebration giveaway! I sooooo hope I win!!!

The food group.

This is my favorite meal: pinto beans & cornbread. Put it this way...I will miss any lunch in our department from any catering company or restaurant in town when the hospital cafeteria has pinto beans & cornbread day. That is how much I love this meal. I have been participating in The Food Group flickr photoshare and I have noticed we are not far into June and already I am repeating this meal. Can't help it...I'm sure it will pop up again before the end of June.

Look at these cuties! I just couldn't resist this set of salt & pepper shakers when I was out with my sister this past weekend. But there is a problem...I got them home and realized they don't match anything in my kitchen! Bummer... Plus, I realized I have waaayy to many sets of salt and pepper shakers already! Off to the etsy shop they go...please help me find a good home for them (and another cute retro pair that I have decided to part with).

emmeline...why do you intimidate me?

I've got all the fabric and thread ready. I've read (and re-read) the instructions.

So why am I having such a hard time starting my Emmeline apron? I'm intimidated by this project! There are a couple of reasons I think I feel this way. 1. The floral pattern is a vintage fabric and I love it. I only have just a little more than enough of it so I can't make any mistakes (stress!!!). 2. The apron is so beautiful so it has to be hard to make. I just need to suck it up and start cutting! I only have 10 more days left for the sew-along!

Aren't these little coin purses lovely? I have used these little coin purses off and on since I picked them up at estate sales a couple of years ago. They are super handy to have in your purse for coins or mints.

You can find them now in the shop.

Have a great day tomorrow everyone!
