Last Day of August - Last Day of Birthday Gifts!

Happy Tuesday, Shopaholics! Didn't I tell you that I celebrated my birthday the entire month of August? :-) After today, the month is changing and my mind will slowly begin to turn to late summer (known as Fall everywhere else) and football season.

Let me thank my lovely friend Kristina over at Lotus and Lilly for a thoughtful and generous birthday gift. Kristina's work is absolutely gorgeous. I was thrilled and surprised when she sent me a clutch and matching headband for my birthday! They are both made from vintage Lilly Pulitzer fabric, named Familia de Gato. The clutch is available to view on the website HERE. Thanks again Kristina, I love them both. Shopaholic tip: Be sure to join the Lotus and Lilly Facebook page, for special deals and promotions. :-)

Another surprise came to me from The Preppy Ladybug. Shannon sent me a set of the Pink Coral Notecards, which I had mentioned here on Shopaholic as one of my favorite items from her store. I've already used several of these, and look forward to ordering more from The Preppy Ladybug. You can view the notecards on her Etsy site HERE. Thank you Shannon! :-)

My longtime friend and fellow Lilly lovah, Caitlin, surprised me with this set of note cards. Caitlin took a card making class, and was so sweet to think of me. She knows I love to mail notes, cards, etc and made a few to send my way. I can't decide which design is my favorite? Thank you, Caitlin! ♥ ya, girl! :-)  

That's it! Birthday celebrations are officially over.

Bring it on, September. I'm 40 now, and I'm ready! :-)

Have a terrific Tuesday!

    Thank you Lori for the mention! I'm so happy that you like them. Love the other items that you received as well! I know this was a milestone birthday, but I see this as an annual event and people looking forward to it all year long...we'll let you rest and think it over, I know it was a lot of work for you also: )

    Loving all of your gifts. And those cards that your friends made look amazing! You should tell her to open up an Etsy store!

Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew! I love knowing that I am supporting a small, female owned business. In today's economy, I think that is very important. If you are considering any purchases from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line

Please join me today in welcoming The Tracy Negoshian!*** You have probably noticed from previous posts that Tracy Negoshian is quickly becoming one of my favorite designers. During recent Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, I ordered so many new dresses and tunics, it was like an early Christmas present when they all arrived.  Tracy's designs are a favorite of preppy girls everywhere. They are easy to wear - the comfy jersey fabric is flowy, but somehow fitted just enough to be feminine. Many of the items I ordered work for all seasons here at the beach. Just last week, I wore the Sheada Tunic Dress is Navy Life Preserver to a casual holiday gathering. Say "hi" to Phillip and Angie - these two ke
