I remember this day very well. My beloved kitten had just been put down and I was feeling pretty low. I was passing some time away on Facebook when I noticed a post on a magnificent giveaway event over at Jeanne Oliver Designs.
I didn't expect to win. I just wanted to share a new creativity that I immediately fell in love with and appreciated. So I entered and bragged about it on my own Facebook to draw more crowds Jeanne's way.
And then... I won.
But this wasn't a little win. This was HUGE. It amounted to a $500 shopping spree!
Well, let's just say my little depression immediately lifted and I was giddy for a good long while. :) It was the most difficult shopping ever because I loved it all! I'm a tomboy at heart so a chance to girl up my image a little was on order anyway. This just sealed the deal in the most exquisite of ways.
I eventually made my choices and when they arrived, it felt like Christmas morning!
Wanna see?
and tiny burlap sacks only added to the receiving experience and became instant additional gifts.
And here's what I did with some of the wrappings. :)
So what did I pick out? Get ready for the longest post EVER.
When I saw the ruffled pillow covers, I knew exactly where it would land. My favorite place to sit is now prettier than ever thanks to these little additions!
A little burlap sack landed as a self made tassel on one of them. How cute is that?
I also ordered up one of her to die for ruffled aprons but they were sold out. (go see them!) But no matter. I was positively delighted with....
My must have grab on a daily basis is the amazing ruffle messenger bag. I adore the long handle which gives you plenty of hands free shopping and a place to stash most anything on a trip out. The ruffles are on the stiffer side, keeping their shape perfectly. And the flower is a pin and clip so you can use or remove it as desired.
I tend to dress a little tom boyish so the ruffled touch kicks up the girlie touch just a notch without going overboard. It is PERFECT.
How spoiled am I? I also chose these two ruffled totes. They're a bit smaller in size with shorter handles, yet long enough to sling over your shoulder while you shop.
All the bags have the most charming of liners along with Jeanne's signature tag. Top notch designer quality all the way.
A hot hot item for me was this camera bag. The bag was designed to be a camera bag and purse combo so you didn't have to bring both along for a ride.
But what surprised me even more was using it for my laptop instead! It fits perfectly. The padding and amount of pockets are both ample and everything is easily accessible. And I'm going to be right proud waltzing into Starbucks with this cutie pie on my shoulder this fall when my son goes to basketball next door. :)
Ever since my watch bit the dust about a year ago, I replaced that bare arm with bracelets instead. So when I saw Jeanne's jewelry line, I whimpered and knew I had to have a few things.
Two leather cuffs landed on my lap immediately, one labelled 'artist' and the other 'dreamer'. And I haven't removed the artist one since the day it came home. It reminds me of what I'm attempting to strive towards and to never give up.
See? I'm even stylin' while lettering up my firetrucks! See that cream colored button one? That's another I'm head over heels in love with from Jeanne. (the others are thrift store finds that I also never take off)
And when I saw this black vintage button variety, I knew it would look incredible for a dressier event, especially with my little black dress. The button details are so gorgeous! Who needs diamonds again?!?
I also ordered up this adorable vintage black scale from the vintage section. I can't wait to play with it!
And do check out Jeanne's blog. Her writings and photography are absolutely charming. She sent me the above photo that I will share with you as soon as it's done. :)
New fall line
Some of the above items will no longer be avail once they're sold out as Jeanne is moving over to her new fall line slated to be out by late October! However my very favorite item will still be available for purchase and we're giving one away!
