The P Family

Lilly Jane and Kent are welcoming a little brother into their beautiful world.  Mom has a name picked out but keeping it hush hush until he is here.

Can’t wait to know the name.  I pick ‘Rocky’.

Nothing like a pink cast to make you tough and cute at the same time.


And her best friend Cara was in town for some girl fun.  Pedicures here they come.

Yellow Pots

Yellow is one of my favorite colors right now.  So look what I went out and bought for the big birthday party for Rox, T Rex and Johnnie that will be happening in two years.

If any brides, friends or my floral friends would like to borrow these for a wedding or party, just let me know.  I have fourteen of them.  The height is five inches and the top diameter is five and half inches.

Steph already has dibs on them for one weekend.  :)

Sandy Paws at Cole Couture

Cole Couture is the  exclusive carrier of Sandy Paws dog collars.

Kristin the designer and creator of each piece did it out of love for her Isabella.  A chocolate lab that was very much loved by Kristin, family and friends.  She went to doggie heaven and Kristin wanted to do this for her.

All profits go to doggie charities.

*Trivia:  Cole Couture is named after another chocolate lab, who is Isabella’s brother.*

You know Cole Couture is a fresh clothing store when this is what the bell ringer looks like.  Love it!

Redheaded Sweetheart Contest

The winner will be chosen from a panel of highly qualified gushing moms.

Good Luck!


Mack & Mae Giveaway

I first discovered Mack & Mae dresses when I was visiting Textures in Midtown.  It was a beautiful dress hand made out of fun, colorful, vintage style fabric and was just perfect for Roxanne.

Not only did I purchase dresses for all the upcoming little girl’s baby showers I was invited to but the owner Michelle Sproul sent a couple of outfits for Roxanne and Jamie Claire to model.  This called for a beach shoot.

Too win an adorable custom Mack & Mae creation.  Leave a comment to let me know which of the three dress shown is your favorite.  Names will go into a hat and Rox will pull out the winning name next Wednesday!

Seward’s Folly

That is where I am headed.  You history blokes know exactly where I am off to.  Alaska! 

I will have limited access to email and phone.  All will be answered when I return home.

Thomas Elliot hopes I see a dinosaur and Roxanne wants me to eat a moose while I am there.  I promised to try my best and not disappoint.

Pucci Love Giveaway!

I have always been a fan of fashion designer Emilio Pucci, famous for his iconic abstract, bright prints.  Every time I hit a vintage clothing store, I search the racks hoping to find a vintage Pucci.  To no avail… yet.

Found this one on ebay.  That’s too easy.  I want to find one hidden in a pile of old clothes waiting for me to claim it as my own.

It might just happen.  I’m the girl that found an antique diamond ring behind a stove while I was super cleaning an apartment I was renting.  Yep.

Steph owns an eyeglass store in Atlanta and is having a huge sale on their Pucci sunglasses.  So here is a giveaway to say bye to summer and hello to football season.

The first person to leave a comment will get a pair of authentic Pucci glasses!

If you did not win and are interested, they retail at $315 but Steph is having a huge sale at $150.  Contact Steph at info@eyesonyoueyecare.com.

Wow!  Looks like Jessica has me on her Google Reader.  She commented fast!  Have fun with your glasses watching the Seminoles kick booty.

Kathie’s Studio Shots

So what if you just flew in from Los Angeles with four kids in tow.  Your big sister needs to practice shooting in the studio with a live model!

And your brother-in-law needs more mascot pictures for his World of Warcraft group.  Yes, I married a nerd!

Kanvas Giveaway Winner!

Well, two winners.  Rox pulled out two names this morning.  Thanks Rox, this is going to come out of your ‘Incredible Hulk’ fund.

Congratulations to Erin and Christina.  I will contact you by email later today to get your mailing addresses.

Kanvas Giveaway!

Remember my Key West bride, Ashley?  Well she is the aesthetician at Kanvas located in midtown.  She has been wanting me to come in forever for a facial.  Due to both our busy schedules, we finally set a date months in advance and I finally got to experience her magic touch yesterday.

I can’t stop looking at my face.  Love it.  She is also helping me get rid of the wonderful dark brown spots on my face due to carrying Rox!

So, to experience Ashley’s magic, all you need to do is leave a comment just to say ‘Hi’ and you will be placed in the drawing for a facial!  Men can get in on this too.

Beautiful Ashley.

Kanvas.  Lisa the owner has an eye for detail.  I hate to say this but I do judge a book (and magazine) by its’ cover.  And Kanvas would definitely be a book I pick up due to the sassy style.

Deadline is Sunday night and the winner will be announced Monday morning.
