Pretty Fun GIVEAWAY!

Rhonda Gail | August 27, 2010


****GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED****
 
My good friend (and former boss) Sara is amazingly creative and talented. She recently bought a new house and it is decorated SO vibrantly and uniquely. Adore. Any day now, her first child is due and you better believe that little girl’s room is adorable, complete with handmade bedding! She has an Etsy shop named Pretty Fun and also participates in markets and craft fairs. Some of my favorites currently for sale in her Etsy shop:
 
pfpurses Pretty Fun GIVEAWAY!
 
I asked Sara a few questions about herself and her shop.
 

How did Pretty Fun come to be?
Pretty Fun came about when I had received some money for my birthday. I really wanted to get something big that I wouldn’t usually buy for myself. So, one day at Target, I ran across the Singer and knew that is what I wanted. Then I just started making things. And making things. And making things. I knew I would have a houseful of purses if I didn’t start selling them. Also, selling them funds my fabric collection. Pretty Fun was born.
 
What is your favorite thing to create?
My favorite things to create changes on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. If it involves fabric, it’s my favorite thing to create.
 
Name one quirky thing about you.
My favorite thing to watch when I am sewing is Elvis movies. They are just so colorful and musical and over the top, they are a great inspiration for creating.
 
What do you do to unwind?
I love magazines. I have old issues of Home Companion, Living and Budget Living that I love to take out and dig through to get ideas.
 
What is your favorite place to shop?
Jackman’s Fabrics in St. Louis, Jo-Ann’s Fabrics, Etsy.com
Favorite place to window shop-Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, Etsy.com

 
THE GIVEAWAY:

Sara is giving one lucky winner a wristlet! These are so neat! One handle slips through the other to create the closure. Can’t you see carrying one of these on your wedding day or gifting it to a bridesmaid? LOVE. The ones below are currently available in her Etsy shop, but doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you’ll get one you see here. I imagine Sara has others in stock and some of these may sell before this giveaway ends. Upon winning, Sara will contact you with your options. Please keep in mind that her baby is arriving any day now, so you’ll need to be patient!

Rhonda Gail | August 23, 2010


****GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED****
 
Some of you may not know that I opened an Etsy shop a few months ago, called Shop Houndstooth. It is so much fun to create things for others and I’m having a blast dreaming up designs.

Bridesmaid Gifts: The Gifting Spot

Rhonda Gail | July 19, 2010

There are so many choices out there for bridesmaids gifts and it can be hard to narrow it down.  The best gifts are personal, but it can be hard to find something that doesn’t blow the bank.  Enter The Gifting Spot.  Owner Shana offers personalized gifts that are just too cute!  They feature the hottest patterns like seersucker, houndstooth, and damask, while giving you a bevy of options for thread color and monogram font.  Here are a few of my favorite gifts.

gifts Bridesmaid Gifts: The Gifting Spot

Spa wraps, waffle cosmetic bags, koozies, beach towels, seersucker totes

Any of these would be absolutely perfect for wedding party or bridal shower gifts.  However, the market tote is absolutely amazing.

market Bridesmaid Gifts: The Gifting Spot

This collapsible tote is only $28 and has so many uses!  I really want one.  Imagine the possibilities.  Take it to the farmer’s market, grocery store, on a picnic, or use it in your home to corral all those items that linger around the living room and kitchen counter.  When you’re done, collapse it and slide it under the bed or anywhere else.  For bridesmaids gifts, you could absolutely use this as a gift basket and fill with any of The Gifting Spot items I chose above.  Throw in a bottle of champagne, some chocolates, and a personal card, and you have such a fabulous gift!

While you’re checking out TGS, be sure to add the blog to your Google Reader and “Like” it on Facebook so you can stay in the loop with promotions and other news.

There’s more!  Through July 31, The Gifting Spot is offering FREE SHIPPING!  Love that!
