Chinoiserie + Oysters {Giveaway}

UPDATE 5/5/15: This giveaway is now closed.  Congratulations Elizabeth Walker and Carly!!  Send me an email with your monograms and I’ll get them right out to y’all.When I set out to design a little birthday gift for two of my oldest besties (by “old” I mean we’ve been together for almost 21 years), the first thing that came to mind was our shared love of chinoiserie.  We all have the exact same china, which made our wedding and baby shower throwing days of yore super convenient, and we’ve all collected fabulous pieces for one another over the years.

Each of these have been added to the Dixie Delights etsy shop under Preppy Papers.  I’ve got the usual suspects (journals, note pads, pens, mouse pads), but also included folded note cards in this collection!!  Hopefully this summer I will have time to add more patterns.

I also recently added a cute gingham and dot combo available in many colors.  This came about when bestie P asked me to make something in blue and orange for one of her besties!  These are listed in the preppy papers section as well.

Moving right along, y’all know how I love anything oyster.  So, you can imagine how I am just ga-ga over Mother’s latest limited edition DeSoto Blue necklace.  There is only  one available, as these beads are hard for her to find.  She has asked me numerous times to list this but I kept putting it off because I really wanted to keep it for myself :-)

She also found beads to list one more of the original DeSoto in pale pink.  I DO have this one and it is my all time fave.  Ever.  I get so many compliments every time I wear it.

Last but not least, Disney items ship out May 9 for orders placed by May 3.  After that, I won’t ship again until the end of May and it will be spotty through summer with the littles home.

Now, since the note cards are brand new to my shop, I’d love to give away a note card and pen set to one of you!!!!  The giveaway is open to US mailing addresses.  Leave a separate comment for each of the following and include your email address if you aren’t linked to a blog where I can find you.  There are TWO ways to enter per person!!

2.  Since I designed these for two besties, let me know YOUR favorite way to treat your friends.

It’s as easy as pie!!  I’ll announce the winner on Cinco de Mayo.
xoxo

Musings

I’m not sure I’ve ever had such a busy spring. And I’m also not sure what I was thinking when I thought I’d have too much free time once the baby went off to Kindergarten. John is running track and Whit is playing baseball and soccer. It crazy good, but crazy nonetheless.   As of… Read More

Well, y’all probably thought I’d forgotten about sharing features from our fun Boy Mom Madness week earlier this month.  It’s been a doozie this Spring… with school, sports, traveling and the likes.  At any rate, I had so much fun going through all of the links over my morning coffee and wanted to share some… Read More
