Hello Folks!

I hope this post finds eachof you well. I’m so excited to share this month’s sponsors with you. They all have absolutely LOVELY things {some with great discounts too!} so be sure to click over to their sites. I asked each of them to share a little bit about their businesses….

::Blessed Be The Name Children’s Clothing::

 
In Ashley’s own words…
I am the owner and designer of Blessed Be the Name (a children’s clothing offered through trunk shows) & Favorite Laundry (offered to vendors in the Atlanta Apparel wholesale market). Since the last sponsor post, Favorite Laundry has a new retail store in Birmingham in a town & development neighborhood called the Town of Mt Laurel. Both lines are full of whimsical simplicity and wonderfully soft cotton, a great way to celebrate childhood and dress your children for your greatest memories….If you’re in the Birmingham area please come by and see us! Store address: 100 Croft Street Birmingham, AL 205.533.7861  Also, Ashley’s blogs here.

::The Rusted Chain::

In Beki’s own words…
Casual. Simple. Meaningful. That’s what The Rusted Chain jewelry is. They’re pieces you can wear with a flirty sundress, boots and jeans, or your favorite blazer. We have necklaces, earrings, and even a bracelet or two thrown in the mix. Because Darby has the most fabulous readers in all of blogland, please enjoy a 15% discount on any purchase through the end of March with code window15. You can find TheRustedChain blog and newsletter sign up here.
*Lime Twist earrings pictured above can be found HERE

::Smitten & Co::

In Tara’s own words…
When you purchase tees from Smitten & Company, not only will your children be sporting original designs, but they will be made with the highest quality materials on the softest, thickest shirts around. Boys and girls love them just as much as Moms do! I have also added dresses for girls up to a size 6 that go perfectly with leggings and tights. And if you’re already thinking about Spring, I have ruffled bloomer sets for baby girls that were very popular among Moms last summer!

I create unique one-of-a-kind and limited edition works of art. Whether you like delicate earrings or chunky statement necklaces, you are bound to find something you will love! Specials include: For the entire month of March, get free shipping in the US and 10% off orders of $50 or more worldwide! Simply mention this blog in the notes to seller when placing the order, pay with PayPal, and I will refund the discount right back to you. The sale does not apply to custom orders and items in Clearance and Cancer Awareness/Charity sections. And I {Darby} had the pleasure of picking out this beautiful necklace for Janna to include in the post. It can be found here.

In Pam’s own words…
I love paper, patterns and colors, modern and traditional, and fonts. I love trying to find the unexpected yet beautiful way of mixing all of those to create a look that’s unique. I’m environmentally conscious and use recycled materials as much as possible. And I strive to always give excellent customer service. New square calling card patterns are in stock!

::EngLady::

  
In Kat’s own words…
Hello! My name is Katherine or Kat, as most friends refer to me. I create classic jewelry with a touch of vintage charm. Most of my pieces are versatile, easily transitioning from casual weekend wear to special occasions. I work primarily with semi-precious stones and freshwater pearls paired with sterling silver, fine silver, or higher quality gold vermeil and gold filled. I adore watery blues and greens, which is often reflected in my work; but I also love working with other colors. If you have a special request for a design or stone combination or need multiples for your bridal party, simply ask!

::Spencer Morgan Designs::

  
In Rebecca’s own words…
Spencer Morgan Designs is a unique handmade jewelry company that specializes in creating modern pieces from vintage jewelry. I also love custom designing jewelry for people to complete an outfit, re-invent a family heirloom or create special pieces for a bridal party. The majority of the pieces are one-of-a-kind so you won’t have to run into someone with the same necklace. For a 10% discount on online orders enter promo code “FLY.”

::Kendall Boggs Fine Art::

In Kendall’s own words…
I paint large format paintings with molding paste and acrylic. Sometimes I use a heavy varnish and many times I throw coffee grinds on the canvas! I am inspired by memories so unless I am painting a painting for someone specifically, I usually don’t know what the outcome will be until I am finished. I am doing my first Solo Show in Jackson Mississippi at The South Warehouse, Friday, March 12th. 5 – 8. It’s a huge honor to have this opportunity! Just thought you might like to mention that it is open to the public.

Thanks, ladies! As always, I’m honored and delighted to share my blog with you!!

Hello!  I’m here to share a little more info on this month’s sponsors. Before I begin I want to give a little background as to why I do this {allow advertisements on my blog}. First, I will say that it has been an absolute pleasure to meet and correspond with each of the ladies over the last few months. I appreciate their hard work and their creativity. I’m honored to be able to share this place with them. Second, it is a financial blessing to our family. Third, it is blessing to me to in some way support those who are working from home in their endeavors to stay home with their children while still bringing in financial support. I’ve told them and I may not have ever made it clear on here that I do not offer giveaways from sponsors, the reason for that is multifaceted. One reason being, I don’t want to change the overall feel of the blog. Second being, several giveaways a week is not something that I think would be beneficial to the blog. I also do not mention them more than once a month. At the beginning of each month I have devoted one post to the sponsors. As many of you know, with Google Reader and other blog reading applications many people read without ever coming to my actual site. It is my pleasure to make their presence known through one post a month. I will always make it clear that it is a post written about the sponsors… and so here it is… a post devoted to my sponsors! Thank you, ladies for your information and support!!

::jaC Jewelry::

 In Janna’s own words: I design and make unique jewelry for any occasion. I also design bridal and bridesmaids’ jewelry to match the bride’s and bridesmaids’ dress color and style.  My one-of-a-kind and limited edition designs feature sterling silver or gold-plated metals and natural and handmade components, including freshwater pearls, semi-precious stones and lampwork beads.  I love to add a splash of color to my pieces; in addition to the classic blacks, whites and browns, I carefully select a variety of colors such as bright reds, deep purples and lustrous greens that portray a certain feeling and allow you to express how you feel that day.  I look forward to sharing my passion with you!

Cute paper goods! Pam loves paper, patterns and colors. She loves modern and traditional. And she loves fonts.

She tries to be environmentally conscious and use recycled materials as much as possible. And she, of course, strives to give excellent customer service.

::EngLady::

EngLady jewelry combines modern fashion with a hint vintage charm. Katherine lovingly creates each piece using hand-selected gemstones or freshwater pearls with sterling silver. A romantic at heart, her designs are inspired by beauty in its many forms, whether it is an impressionist’s painting, an architectural detail, a stormy sea, or an unfurling flower. She gravitates towards versatile pieces that work equally well for a casual day or a special evening, and this preference is reflected in

::Kendall Boggs Fine Art::

Kendall paints large format paintings with molding paste and acrylic.  Sometimes she uses a heavy varnish and many times she throws coffee grinds on the canvas! She is inspired by memories so unless she is painting a painting for someone specifically, she usually doesn’t know what the outcome will be until she is finished.

I love seeing the combinations people come up with; and also when they come back to order another basket for a new arrival in their family. Thank you so much for looking!
