Small Shop Spotlight ~ LivyLoveDesigns {& a 50% Off Sale!}

I have been a fan of LivyLoveDesigns since I first met Diane last year when she contributed one of her fabulous prints to my very first Blogger Appreciation Giveaway.  When she made a call out to bloggers to help her spread the word about her upcoming 50% sale, I didn't hesitate to volunteer. ;)   Her prints are gorgeous.  They are affordable (even before the incredible 50% off discount!).  And you can get just about any one of them in your choice of custom colors.  

Okay, so what is on my wish list for this week's HUGE sale?  (Pssstttt... all the prices listed for each item below are BEFORE the 50% off discount!  So yeah, divide those prices in half. ;) )

8x10 Keep Calm And Bake On Print {$20.00}

I am pretty sure I need one of these prints in my kitchen!  Plus, you can get your print in a wide range of custom colors to match any kitchen color scheme. ;)

Happy Mail Inside Stickers- Set of 25 {$10.50}

As a food blogger who LOVES participating in monthly swaps, I adore these stickers!  :)

5x7 Happy Girls Are the Prettiest Print {$15.00}

I am ordering this one for my baby girl's room.  <3  This is such an important message to instill in our little girls...

8x10 Custom Map Prints {$20.00}

This custom print from LivyLoveDesigns is definitely on my must-have list.  You can get the maps and stripes in custom colors, and you can add as many hearts to your map as you would like!  This would be a great anniversary gift for a couple- have hearts mark their hometown(s), where they met, where their children were born... any place that is close to the heart. 

Okay, so I know you all are all ready to get your shop on!  And you can save 50% off from now until May 27th!!

Small Shop Spotlight- Simply {Darr}ling (& a Giveaway!)

I originally came to know Kendra through her blog, Adventures of Brad & Kendra when she decided to purchase a little real estate on my sidebar over there. >>> ;)
As I was reading through her posts one day, I found one in which she was featuring a few new items from her etsy shop, Simply {Darr}ling.  Once I clicked around her site it was instant love.  Such cute handmade things and so wonderfully affordable!  I couldn't help myself.  I emailed Kendra right away to see if she would be interested in having a Small Shop Feature on my blog.  

She bested my offer and decided to generously host a giveaway for my readers for a $15 credit to her shop! :)

(Let's all say... Thank you, Kendra!)

(Psssttt... if you happen to be be good with a thread & needle or sewing machine, Kendra often posts DIY sewing tutorials on her blog. :) )

So what could you buy with your $15 credit to Simply {Darr}ling?  

How about this Baby Girl Cuddle Blanket? ($15)

I adore the giraffes! :)

Or these Pink & Polka Dots Elastic Hair Ties ($2.95) + this Reversible Coffee Cozy with Polka Dots & Plaid ($7)?

(Oh yes, I did just match the hair ties to a coffee cozy! ;) )

Maybe this gorgeous Chevron Infinity Scarf in Teal & White ($15)?

Or how about these Minky and Terry Cloth Makeup Remover Pads ($7) & these shimmery Shades of Brown Elastic Hair Ties ($2.95)?

You all see what I am saying when I tell it is all cute and all super budget friendly, right? ;)
