SPRING GIFT SWAP with Shopaholic In Alabama & Maryland Pink and Green

Happy Monday everyone! Are you like me, and counting down the days until Spring? For the record, the 1st day of Spring is March 20th and I cannot wait. 27 more days!!! :-)

Shopaholic In Alabama, along with my BFF Bethany over at MARYLAND PINK AND GREEN, has come up with a plan to brighten these cool days prior to the arrival of Spring and all the things it represents (pretty flowers, warmer weather, bright colored clothing, Easter/Passover, etc). We are so thrilled to announce our .....

1st ANNUAL SPRING GIFT SWAP

Here's how it will work:

*You can sign up on Shopaholic In Alabama (under this post) or Maryland Pink and Green. Please leave your email address (or blog address) in the comments. (And if you're not already following Bethany, this is a great time to sign up!)
*Spending suggestion/limit is $30 (NOT including shipping). This could be one fantastic gift, or several small gifts. It's up to you, just please send something you would love to also receive.
*Gifts should be spring in nature - bright, cherry and HAPPY. :-)
*The deadline to sign up is Sunday, February 28.
*We will match partners and publish the lists on both blogs. Matchups will be up no later than Wednesday, March 3.
*Contact your swap partner by Friday, March 5.
*Please have gifts mailed no later than Friday, March 26.
*For those participants who have a blog, we'd love it if you'd photograph your gift before you send and publish once your partner receives. Same for any gifts you receive. We want this swap to be INTERACTIVE - so we can all enjoy seeing the pretty, happy SPRING gifts!
*If you're a participant who doesn't blog, you can email pics of your sent/received gifts to me or Bethany and we'll publish on our blogs for you!

Bethany and I are both looking forward to participating in AND hosting this Spring Gift Swap! Over the years, we have participated in LOTS of fun gift swaps and just know this one will be awesome! :-)

Sign up today, meet a new friend, send and receive a Spring Gift and begin the countdown with us!

p.s. What says Spring like that tulip arrangement? I love it!

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...

THE ART OF ELISE FRANCESCA.....PLUS A TANK DRESS GIVEAWAY!!!

Image
Happy Wednesday my dear friends! I'm so EXCITED today, I have the pleasure of introducing you to "THE ART OF ELISE FRANCESCA". Elise recently found my blog and contacted me about her designs, as they are a PERFECT match for all things Spring and Preppy!  A little information about Elise's designs and business, directly from her Facebook page: Elise Francesca Fargnoli co-founded FRANCESCA JOY, with Carolyn Roy, an interior designer in Palm Beach. They came together with their love for design, couture, and color. FJ is a home decor/lifestyle collection based on Elise's designs and paintings. The collection includes tote bags, t-shirts, and chemises- all of which are hand painted and designed by Elise. Tote bags are currently sold in South Florida, while the home decor line (including items for pets) will launch March 2010 in Designer Avenue, Palm Beach. Along with starting her own company, Elise is currently represented by Agora Gallery, in the heart of th...
