giveaway!

Tomorrow night, I am sponsoring a giveaway for my brother, Dr. Matthew Roe. He is an Upper Cervical chiropractor with two offices - one in Winter Garden, FL and the other in downtown Orlando, FL. If you are not familiar with chiropractic care (and in particular, upper cervical), PLEASE check it out! It will change your life! > www.uppercervicalcare.com

Anyway - my bro is hosting a Ladies Night of Indulgence tomorrow (Friday, Feb 25th) night in Winter Garden! There will be "pampering, two-minute makeovers, massages, chocolates, thermal scanning, nutritional support, yoga sessions, delectable appetizers, wine tasting and much more"! How amazing does that sound? Who doesn't love to be pampered?

And I didn't even mention the best part... it's FREE! All you have to do is register through this website. www.uchcladiesnight.com.

And now - for the giveaway from Miss Bessa! You have a chance of winning one of these three items -

Lilac Ruffle Scarf



This scarf is SO soft and is really perfect for spring. It is light weight but will still keep that cool spring breeze at bay. It's beautiful!









Olive Lacework Ruffle Clutch



VERY pretty! Would be perfect for a beautiful spring date!




Optic Blossom Chic Ruffle Shopper



Inside are three pockets - one for a notepad for your shopping list, one for a pen and one for your coupons/calculator/cell phone/debit card/cash/etc. Good size and will even fit in your bag (except for those of you that carry tiny purses)!






If you aren't in the Orlando area and are craving the scarf or clutch, they can be purchased here:

I hope that all of you ladies in the Orlando area can make it out to support my brother and UCHC!


Keep your eyes out for another giveaway from a fellow blogger and a giveaway from me when I reach 100 sales!

OKAY! I chose my wedding dress yesterday. I know I said in a previous post that I already had it picked out, but I slept on it for a little while and decided to keep shopping. This dress... I DIE! It's amazing. AMAZING. I feel so happy, excited, beautiful and GIDDY in this dress. All smiles (which, if you know me, you know I'm hardly ever all smiles). Can NOT wait to find my perfect "something blue" shoes!!!

The only sad part is I was not allowed to take pictures of it since I did not purchase it yesterday. It is made by a private designer so I am not able to find it online either. Sigh. I just want to daydream and stare at it all day long.


Stay tuned - some awesome giveaways coming up. One for a special group of people in Orlando and another for the rest of y'all. I'll let you know when they start ASAP!

until then...

aroma therapy

It is supposed to be 63 degrees out today. SIXTY-THREE!!!! Which means instead of staying inside and sewing (because it is not the weekend in this house!) in nice warm pajamas and slippers, I will be outside... washing my car!!! My poor Focus doesn't get enough attention.

The "heatwave" (this Floridian? still freakin' cold!) probably also means that I won't be wearing my favorite yellow and gray striped ruffle scarf. I sold one this week and I had just enough to make one more scarf. I've been contemplating listing the last one on my etsy, but I am kind of in love with it. I think I need to keep it for myself!!!

Since it feels a bit like Spring today, I have something new for you. I am a bit obsessed with Patty Young's Sanctuary Collection. So far, I have only ordered two shirtings that have been used for scarves but I am dying to get my hands on the rest of the collection. It is just beautiful and will definitely put you in the mood for some warmer (tropical) weather!!

Here you go:




And you can find the listing here!


Hope you all enjoy your abnormally warm winter days!

scissor runner

My daughter (3yo) didn't want to go to the park today. I've come to the conclusion that she either a) doesn't feel good or b) is always trying to prove me wrong. Probably the latter since she seems to be a-okay!

Since we were staying inside on this incredibly gorgeous Thursday afternoon, we decided to get a little crafty in the form of Valentine's Day. We cut dozens of paper hearts (from scrapbooking paper that I probably should have used by now for an actual SCRAPBOOK, but that can't possibly be at the top of my priority list) and strung ribbon through them to make garland for the fireplace and staircase. We also put some up on the doors around the house. It's very lovey-dovey in here now!! Haley LOVES them and will probably think I'm evil when it comes time to take them down (just like Christmas).


My favorites of them all are pictured below (on the fireplace) -

They match the colors of the living room perfectly.

I have a few things in the works for Miss Bessa that are going to be very exciting coming up! Can't wait to share all of it with you... but it has to wait!

Until then.
