One day while browsing Etsy I came across a really unique chiffon scarf from Aubrey Hyde. It was amazing. It spoke to me. I had to buy it. While browsing around in Aubrey’s shop, I realized I had to have one of her twill headbands — I was hooked! My purchases arrived so quickly and were packaged in cute tins and muslin bags.

Since then I have been back to Aubrey’s store, buying more beautiful accessories. And, (lucky you) just for reading this post, Aubrey is offering you a sweet deal — buy two headbands and get a third one free! Just mention this blog in the “note to seller” box at checkout.

This is me and my most recent purchase from Aubrey:

Thanks STL for raising more than $2.5 million in the 2007 Komen St. Louis Race for the Cure!

Over 65,000 people appeared downtown to show their support. Amazing!
Check out my t-shirt design custom made for Margaret Klein and Gail Ostendorf. Their team requested a logo design using Klein and Ostendorf’s last initials, hence the “Knock Out for Breast Cancer” theme. This shirt was a lot of fun to make, and even got the attention of KSDK news!

Thanks again to everyone who donated and participated in this year’s race!

These have got to be the cutest pincushions I have ever seen! I stumbled upon Natalierensink’s Etsy shop one afternoon in a search for sewing supplies. Her unique pincushions caught my eye and I knew that I had to have one for myself! Each Pincushion Alley piece is handcrafted using vintage or thrifted ceramic bases, including teacups, small bowls, and baking dishes. Check out her store here.

Mention me at the checkout and Natalie will give you 10% off your order! Just wait for the adjusted invoice before you pay.

This one is mine!
