I’m taking off early this year for Thanksgiving. I’ll be back on the second of December with lots of holiday inspired goodness. I hope you all enjoy your Thanksgiving weekend and for those of you who are planning on doing lots of shopping at that time and through all of December, the holiday special above might interest you!

I’ve had this deal going on for a wee bit now, and it has lots more life still yet. Last year I sent out free goodies to folks who spent a certain dollar amount in my shop; this year I decided to do something different. Head on over to the SHOP to see what the coupon codes are and what pretties you may find!

There’s a mini giveaway going on over on my Instagram! To celebrate all the new packaging goods that have finally made their appearance, I’m giving away one $25 gift card to my shop. To find out how to enter + rules, head on over to the particular photo on my Instagram that talks about all this: Mini IG Giveaway.

But that’s not all, I’m also having a FLASH SALE! Get 15% off your entire order now through Saturday, the 28th of September by using coupon code HOORAY15 during checkout. Head to the shop now!

I’m heading off on a much needed vacation somewhere tropical, which means the shop will be closed and the blog won’t get any new posts for a while. So, just to keep things fun, I’m having a big giveaway — both to celebrate one year with my new brand and to say thank you to all of you who continue to support what I do. Less than a year ago I revamped my creative space to actually be a place where my creativity can flourish. I’ve brought in lots of little odds and ends that are both fun and useful, things I’ve come to adore. So I’ve decided to go out and pick up nearly $200 worth of some of my favorites and gift them to one lucky person!
