Monday, August 29th, 2011shop feature: Swanky Press
I like to enter giveaways online. I typically am not that lucky but a few weeks ago … I had a major lucky streak! That streak included winning a Swanky Press Giveaway.
I won a bag tag for each of my kids. Ava Kate picked this adorable tag …
And Aidan picked this tag …
I was so impressed with the selection. Aidan is at a tricky age and has a definite opinion about everything. He had so much fun looking at all of the options … and took over an hour to make his decision. Everything really is that cute … whether you are looking for a little girl or a super cool boy!
I also won a set of waterproof labels perfect for my little girl as she heads off to kindergarten.
Ava Kate picked the aqua and red design in the bottom photo. Again, the selection is fabulous. There are items for both boys and girls … no matter the age. Our labels have already had several trips through the dishwasher and are holding up great!
And there’s more … Swanky Press is loaded with invitations, note cards, party goods and more.
Including these adorable moving cards. I am not moving … but if I were to move, I would definitely be ordering these …
I have a thing for anything chevron!
I hope you have a fabulous weekend. I hear we have a cool front heading to Texas … we might drop down to 103 degrees. We are truly melting here … melting:)

I have had so much fun with my recent custom orders. I love putting together new color combinations of my Vintage Cake Stand design. The latest … a pink, green and yellow number …
On a side note … I am working on a craft project and will be hitting up some thrift stores tomorrow. I will keep you posted on my finds…

Happy Weekend!

union jack bunting…
I have a major MAJOR love for all things Union Jack. (see here for proof) My sister knows this … and having just spend a couple weeks in Europe with her family … saw this and knew I would love it…
Wooden Union Jack Bunting … Seriously! If I knew this had existed, I would have bought it long ago. It is absolutely perfect. Now … to find the perfect place to hang it!
