Your Designs This Time :: No. 23 [And a Giveaway!]

Hi friends! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I had the pleasure of meeting Abby from Just a Girl and Her Blog while I was in Pittsburgh and I’m so glad we were able to connect! She’s such a sweetheart and it was so nice talking to another blogger face to face and not through email! I wish all my bloggy friends lived nearby so we could hang out all the time 🙂 We had a total blogger fail moment and forgot to take a picture though. Womp womp.

Before we get to the link party, I have a little giveaway to introduce! I’ve teamed up again with Kristi from Making it in the Mountains and Nicole from Sweet {Jolie} as well as a new blog friend, Doree, from Top Notch Mom. We’re here to offer some great prizes for one lucky winner from Nicole and Kristi’s Etsy shops!

You have the chance to win a beautiful Infinity Scarf from Mountain Top Sweet and a Graphite Grace and Lace Perfect Fit Seamless Tank from Sweet {Jolie}.
Owner of Sweet {Jolie}, Nicole, shared with us the story behind her lovely shop:

I started Sweet {Jolie} just over 3 years ago after having my 2nd child. I was struggling with the changes in my body and trying to be kind to myself. After realizing that nothing I owned fit me anymore, I put on some stretchy pants, a t-shirt and a necklace and started to feel OK about myself. I noticed that even if nothing fit and I wasn’t feeling confident, that just a piece of jewelry would lift my spirits. Sweet {Jolie} was born out of an idea that women should always try their hardest to be kind to themselves and each other.

Over the past 3 years I have expanded the company from just jewelry to jewelry, scarves, purses, clothing, wraps, boot cuffs and more. Everything I carry is One-Size-Fits-All. I don’t like to idea of having sizes that limit my customers. I believe that ALL women should feel beautiful, regardless of size, shape or age.

I try and support local business women with small companies as much as possible. My headpieces are from a company in Blackfalds, AB. Some of the Infinity Scarves that I carry are from {Mountian Top Sweets} in Rossland, BC. The wraps I bring in are handmade in Vancouver, BC. I really feel a strong need to support other women entrepreneurs and to lift up other women in their ventures.

I have plans to continue expanding the brand to include even more clothing options and accessory options that are one-size-fits-all. I’ve been having the most incredible experience getting to know my customers and providing the best pieces possible that make women feel amazing about themselves!! Sweet {Jolie} has grown beyond my wildest dreams and I am so blessed to see how far it’s come over the past 3 years!

Kristi, the voice behind making it in the mountains, has embarked on a whole new adventure opening up her very own Etsy shop!

Mountain Top Sweet was born from a love for accessories and a growing collection of {stunning} fabrics that I couldn’t possibly pass by!!! I love the way that just wrapping an infinity scarf around my neck can instantly make me feel trendy and put together! It was only natural that I turn these gorgeous fabrics into pieces that I couldn’t wait to wear!

In this brand spankin’ new Etsy shop, you’re sure to find something to love no matter what your style or budget! Most of these luxurious fabrics are custom printed, which means that you won’t find these lovely {infinity scarves} ANYWHERE ELSE! Due to the nature of working with custom fabrics, stock in each style is EXTREMELY limited, so if you fall in love with something, be sure to scoop it up before it is gone!

 Can we just talk about Heather’s CHALK painted floor for a minute??? Seriously. The time and detail it took make this concrete floor look like this is incredible!

And honestly, I’m just loving that Adrienne shared her real life mess with us before her reveal…(and it STILL looks beautiful!)!

How cool is this geometric heart pillow that Corinna made?

Oh, Miss Mandee’s pretty paper lanterns are so easy and fresh and can dress up any space!

Finally, Jamie’s tips on how to decorate using frames had us completely smitten. Empty frames are everywhere but sometimes can be a struggle to style! Be sure to check out all of Jamie’s examples!
