Sweet Shoes
April 14, 2010 4:42 pmMy little Gigi has the sweetest pair of shoes that her Godmother gave her. I fell in LOVE with them when she gave them to her. “
Where did you get those?!” I said. And she told me about Mandi, the owner of Sweet Shoes, who just so happens to be local and go to my church! She’s the mom of three children and so kind and sweet! (and gorgeous!)
The shoes are flexible, comfortable, stylish and VERY reasonable! It’s all Gigi will wear!
Here are some of my favorite girl designs.
You can check out all the girls’s designs HERE.
And she’s got adorable ones for boys, too!
And check out her gigantic and impressive press page! She also has a blog that you can follow along with.
I’m sure a bunch of you have these already. But I love sharing about other mom’s who are fulfilling their dreams and have a wonderful product to share. Hope you love them as much as me and Gigi do!!

Crochet Trim and Harts Winner!
April 12, 2010 12:28 pmI have ALWAYS loved crochet and lacey trims on tops. I think they are so feminine and can make a t-shirt so much more exciting.
I have been trying to think about way you can find trim to add to tops. I found these great finds at the flea market this week. This great old doile…
…adn this crochet pillowcase.
I cut off a strip and sewed it on to this t-shirt. Isn’t it lovely?
All you do is pin it and stitch it directly on!
THEN!! I went in to Harts this week and found this!
They are selling an array of crochet bibs This was only $5! Think about this on a T! I don’t think they are on the website but if you call them I’m sure they can ship one to you! How beautiful is that?
Finally, the randomly chosen winner of a yard of fabric from Harts is….
Melissa Wingo!!
Keep checking their blog and website for ever changing fabrics, updates and giveaways!

My Newest Sponsor- Harts Fabric ( and Win a Yard of Fabric!)CLOSED
April 8, 2010 8:11 amI think many of you already know about the amazing fabric store, Harts Fabric. They carry a diverse range of some of the most beautiful fabrics. But did you know they are MY local fabric store? I really like to support as many local business as I can and I’m so pleased that I can call Harts my hometown fabric store. I thought I’d give you all an inside look at Harts Fabric In Santa Cruz, CA
The thing I love about Harts is that they carry the latest fashionable fabrics. I can go in there and know that whatever I’m seeing in fashion lately, I can get at Harts. I’ve often noticed trends start there and then start seeing them in stores and on the runway months later. Matt, the owner, and his staff have a great eye for acquiring the best selections. They carry gorgeous cotton prints,
a crazy oilcloth and vinyl selection,and a huge room of home dec fabrics, too.
Just look at their home page to see all the different kinds of fabric they carry!
And another thing, they have the BEST staff there. The girls that work there are always so helpful, knowledgeable and have a wonderful eye for design. They help me every time!
Hart’s fabric aslo has a great blog and a helpful fabric 101 page . I’m going to be showing you some of my favorite fabrics from there and different ways to use them.
Wanna yard of fabric?
Become a fan of their facebook page and leave a comment that you did it here, and I’ll send you a yard of one of my favorite fabrics of the week! Winner will be announced April 12th!
I’m lucky to have them locally. But I’ve done lots of looking around at other online fabric store and I think their layout and pictures of the fabrics are the best around. I hope you all take a moment to check out Harts Fabric. If you order there or begin to do so, leave a comment in the ordering notes that Lex sent you!
