Press Sample

I can’t believe Mother’s Day is just a few days away.  I haven’t even asked for anything!  I’ve no doubt that Hubs and the kidlets will pull off something spectacular, because they always do.  We typically go to my Mom’s church for Mother’s Day, and this year will be no different.  It’s such a nice way to share the morning with her!

As for Mother’s Day gifts, my Mom is pretty simple and never asks for a thing.  I guess I get it from her.  I never really ask for anything, either.  Of course I don’t mind getting chocolates, cards, flowers, or jewelry.  LOL.  Blue Nile recently sent be a beautiful pair of sterling silver earrings for consideration.  These just may be perfect for my dress for my Sister’s wedding later this month!  I’ve browsed their site and can honestly say that if you’re in need of a last minute gift for Mom or that special lady in your life, you should check out bluenile.com/momgift13, where you can save 10%!  There’s still time to get Free FedEx shipping on your order!Blue Nile Earrings

Blue Nile was nice enough to send me a second pair of earrings to giveaway to one lucky reader.  Just enter below.

The Blushing Violet

March 6, 2013 By 6 Comments

I was recently searching for unique mother’s jewelry when I discovered The Blushing Violet JewelryThe Blushing Violet, an Etsy shop owned and operated by Suzie.  Suzie creates the most beautiful beads in a pod pendant jewelry, tree pendants, and mother’s love pendants.  I was immediately in love with the beads in a pod pendants!  I wanted something to show off my *soon to be three* peas in the pod, and this pendant was just perfect.

The kidlets birthdays are in December and February, and the new baby is due in April. I knew I wanted the colors to match their birthstones, and that I wanted to keep them in birth order with Mister’s on top, Sister’s in the middle, and the new baby on the bottom.  I wasn’t sure, however, if I wanted faceted or smooth beads in my pendant. Suzie sent me a picture of what the beads looked like together.

I liked both, but I really liked how the smooth beads looked together.  I couldn’t have been more pleased with the way the pendant turned out, either.

I absolutely adore it!  I was extremely impressed with the level of professionalism that Suzie displayed in her communications, as well as with how quickly she replied to my questions.  She is a true gem, and I would highly recommend The Blushing Violet to anyone and everyone looking for a special gift for a mother, grandmother, or someone special in their life!

Many thanks to Suzie and The Blushing Violet for providing the beads in a pod pendant for inclusion in the Baby Shower Gift Guide and for offering a Beads in a Pod Pendant for giveaway (US & Canada) in the upcoming Baby Shower Bonanza Giveaway!

V neck tee and Owl Ring

December 3, 2012 By 5 Comments

You may remember the v-neck t-shirt that I ordered from Oasap.com a few months back.  I ordered it in black, and absolutely fell in love with it.  Here it is with a skirt I also got from Oasap.

v-neck tee

I liked the top so much, I decided to get it in green, too, when my Fashion Hunter credits were renewed.

Not the most flattering picture (hence including the one with the black top, which is a much better photo), but you get the point.  It’s a cute top, and comfortable, so I got another.  The shirt comes in “One Size” which is about a size Large (or 10/12).  Of course, I have to pair it with a cami because noone gets to see that much of me.

I also snagged this super cute Owl Ring.  The ring also comes in One Size.  It fits my pinky, which is what I wanted.  It will look cute with an owl necklace I ordered.

PicturesOnGold.com Locket Giveaway

December 3, 2012 By 18 Comments

Last year I reviewed a custom locket from PicturesOnGold.com. I had it engraved with my Locket_Design_thumbkids pictures, and I absolutely adore it.  What mother wouldn’t love a locket with her kids pictures engraved in it?

On the front it is engraved with the words, “With Love.”   The back is engraved with “From God” on the top line, and “James 1:17” on the bottom line.  James 1:17 says, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father…”

While my kids are not perfect (nor am I the perfect mother), they are certainly good and perfect gifts.   I couldn’t imagine not being their mother!

 

Anyway, my locket turned out beautifully, and though I was concerned about the bale on the locket, it has held up well.  I don’t wear the locket all the time, but I do for special occasions, and I love showing it off.

Yellow Rose Necklace

July 29, 2012 By 22 Comments

Remember the Vintage Style Rose Pendant Necklace that I told you about in my OASAP review? 

Yellow Rose Necklace

When my Mom came to visit this last week, she absolutely fell in love with it.  So much so, that I had to order a new one and let her have it.  You should have seen the smile on her face!  You’d have thought I gave her real roses. 

So sweet!

Now Mom and I can be twinkies when we wear them.  LOL.
