Another week of Sales!

So, the current Sale featuring the Tri Cluster Felt Flowers, nearly sold out within a day or two. Today, I made about a dozen more in luscious colors. I have some up in the shop right now, and will be adding the rest tonight and tomorrow.

I've decided to run the sale on the Tri Clusters for a few more days, since they sold out so quickly. And all Valentine's Day items are still on sale (I'm leaving them up through Feb 14th!).

Tomorrow will commence my new weekly sale: the wildly popular Zinnias!

This week's Sale ...

This week's sale item is the Tri Cluster Felt Flowers. Normally $15, on sale until Jan 30th for $12. Most of these flowers are one of a kind, made from small bits of 100% wool felt, so if you see something you like, grab it before it is gone.

 

The Tri Clusters made from wool felt fabric are available in multiple quantities.

Pssst .... if you hurry, I still have not corrected the Valentine's Day Accessories items ... they are all still marked down from last week's sale.

Last Day for Daisy Felt Flower Sale

Psst: stopping in to remind you that today is the last day to get the Daisy Felt Flowers for $8.

There's literally a rainbow of colors available to choose from in my shop.

Starting tomorrow, all Valentine's Day accessories will be on sale for one week!

Today, the kids are home enjoying a snow day and I am staying home for the day, as the weather is saying light freezing rain is coming down at the moment. After playing outside, shoveling our walkways, and coming in for some hot cocoa, we are hunkering down for the evening ... the kids are trying to get ahead on some school projects and I am busy making some new accessories that I'll be sharing soon.

have a good one!

Daisy Cuteness and a Sale!

I received a lovely surprise in my inbox yesterday afternoon. One of my Pretty in Posies' customers sent me the most adorable photo of her little one with the Daisy Felt Flower Clip in her hair, complete with curls!

Isn't that the cutest? This is the Strawberry Daisy and it looks like a really good match to her adorable outfit. Loving the striped tights!

One more shot of this adorable little girl. She knows how to accessorize too, check out her strand of beads around her neck! Love!

I'm gifting this sweet mama a 20% coupon off her next order for taking the time to share these photos with me. If you have any photos of your little one (or yourself) wearing Pretty in Posies' accessories and would like to share, I'll gift you a coupon as well.

I'm also putting all the regular sized Daisy Felt Flower Hair Clips on sale for one week. Normally $10 for a set of two, you can purchase as many sets as you'd like for $8.00.

Sale runs through Jan 16th. No coupon necessary ... the items are already marked down!

 

You can find them for $8.00 in my Felt Flower Hair Clip Sets section of my Etsy store.

have a pretty day!

Sale, Giveaway winner, and Memory Keeping Monday

Happy Monday everyone.

Today the kids are home from school in observance of Veteran's Day, which officially was yesterday. Thank you to all who have given, and continue to give so much for our country ... my Dad, and so many of his family members were in wars ... special love to you Dad.

So the kids are getting much needed downtime from school/homework/activities ... just being kids & hanging out with their friends, running around outside. It is so, so beautiful today! 

Giveaway ...

The giveaway on Sheri's blog ended last Friday. In case you missed checking out the announcement about who won ... you can see it here. Thank you Sheri for being such an awesome giveaway host!

That's the beauty of Project Life, easy, but can be anything you want it to be. No rules!

I just love how easy it is to add photos, cute elements and the journal cards, to get a lot of photos and story telling quickly onto the pages! Making these style pages is just addicting!

Giveaway Time and a Coupon Code

It's been a long, long time since I had a Pretty in Posies Giveaway! Long overdue, don't you think?

Well, one of my customers, Sheri Horton, recently asked me to do some custom felted wool hair pretties to match her lovely daughters' outfits for an Autumn photo shoot. Sheri is an awesome photographer and a very talented scrapbooker.

(We work together on the Jessica Sprague Creative Team and she also is on Becky Higgins' Project Life Creative Team! So cool.)

Here are some of her lovely photos from that shoot. We worked together to match the felt flowers to the beautiful outfits her girls were wearing. That shoot led to the idea of a giveaway. Woo - hoo!

We decided to team up to offer a Giveaway on Sheri's Blog, so hop on over and show her some Blog Love. Oh and you must check out her amazing Project Life layouts while there.

Here's the Giveaway Package:

This oh so pretty Giveaway includes 5 lovely pieces, which will all go to ONE lucky winner:

- A headband lined with aqua blue pinked wool felt and clusters of turquoise, plum and cranberry felt flowers.
- 3 Hair Clips: A Garden Bloom Felt Flower Hair Clip in teal, tan and pink, a Fabric Slip-Covered Posie Hair Clip in pink & green, and a Wool Felt Flower Layered Hair Clip in Raspberry with a plum herringbone wool and hand stitched accents.
- A Wool Tri Cluster Felt Brooch in Silver Plum made with wine, plum and pale grey herringbone wool. (backing has not been attached, so if you want this piece as a hair clip instead that can be arranged!)

Perfect for Holiday gift giving, stocking stuffers and gift toppers ... or just hoard them for yourself!

Days of December Holiday Sale on Etsy

Hello-

the infrequency of my blog posts lately might clue you in as to how my late autumn is going... busy, busy, busy. I feel like I am never home in the evenings and the days are too short to accomplish all the things I need and want to get done. I'm sure you can relate! December 1st, for me, marks the rush to the holidays ... like a gaint bell being rung right over my head ... my mind knows that time is a'ticking. I'm madly rushing about trying to get the holiday shopping list narrowed down, items crossed off, and question marks filled in with some clever gift idea! And so I wanted to make sure all you Pretty in Posies fans have a chance to cross off some people on your list too (even if it that someone is you, shhh, I won't tell, go ahead and grab something cute for yourself!).

To acknowledge the fact that December is really here ... wow! ... I am hosting a Days of December Holiday Sale where each week a new item will be marked down with a deep discount. This week it is the Zinnia flower, an Etsy favorite! Order these little felt pretties as a brooch/pin,  hair clip, elastic hair band, or headband, just to name a few options. See the item descriptions for more details and a full list of accessory options I carry. Normally retailing for $10.00 each, this week they are on sale for just $6.00. That's 40% off folks! Order as many as you wish. Please do contact me if you need specials colors, more than one of a certain color,  or if a Zinnia in the color you loved recently sold. I'll be happy to help you get your order just right and take advantage of this wonderful sale.

Felt Flowers Pretties make adorable stocking stuffers or pretty & unique gift toppers. Brooches make great gifts for teachers, girl friends and holiday hostesses.

Check back here on my blog each week for the new item of the week or stop in my Etsy store and read the shop announcement to see the latest Days of December sale items!

Here's the Zinnia flower shop section on Etsy. Happy Shopping!

Pretty in Posies' Summer Sale continues, making Cherry Limeade

My Summer Sale is still going on! 30% off everything and anything in the shop! Just use coupon code Summer at checkout. Above is a new Mini Tri Cluster Felt Flower Hair Clip in Pretty Pastels. Or, if you prefer, have it made on a hair pin, like below. Don't you just love choices? Just about everything I make can be made with an alternate backing ... simply let me know what you need!


We've been back in the kitchen this week. This time we tried a simple fizzy beverage recipe found at She Wears Many Hats. I think I fell in love with her photography. Stunning!

The recipe looked like an easy one to do with the kids, and the best part, it was pretty much instant gratification. Kids like that. Me, oh, I can handle the wait. It's just the kids that have a hard time with that stuff.
Really.
really....
oh ok, I admit it.
I liked not having to wait too!


Some of the ingredients you will need. You can find the recipe here: Cherry Limeade.

E making the syrup!

K squeezing the limes.

Now they are both squeezing the limes.
A great stress reducing exercise, who knew?

I think the stress is gone, they look a bit more relaxed.



The syrup cooled, and we're adding all the ingredients into the pitcher.

And lastly, we add the magic fizz, club soda.

Garnish with a lime wedge!

And mmm.


mmmm. Good.
