Giveaway Day!


I'm sorry. We have to Stop. The. World. This online shop is a unique children's boutique full of classic treasures for stylish little ones! And it's darling. Darling, I tell you. And, it's owned by a fellow blogger, Ashley who blogs at Have a Lovely. Well, yes I will thank you.


What's so great about Teacups and Tadpoles? Besides the fact that they carry beautiful things? I'll let Ashley tell you in her own words...

We are a real life "love at first sight" Mr. & Mrs. We have been married over 4 years and moved 19 hours from home {Texas} to Cleveland, OH after one month of marriage for my husband to attend medical school. We miss home and pray that we end up back there one day...but I wouldn't have traded this journey for anything. He has just started Residency and after 3 years of running my business at nights and a full time job during the day I am so blessed to finally be working from home for myself running Teacups and Tadpoles full time and finalizing the details of my second venture launching in just a few weeks! My background is in children's interior design & retail.


Look at a few of the items she offers. Tutus. Who doesn't need a new tutu?



Don't have girls? Maybe you could spruce up your playroom with these whimsical bird counting cards turned wall art. Or, again, if you have a daughter or are buying for a girl this Christmas--look, JUST LOOK at these slippers!



By now, I know you are wondering "What's in it for me?". Well, how about some free, knock your socks off, stylish mom cards?



As usual, there are no rules for entering besides just leaving a quick comment. I never make you go to the shop who's giving away free stuff on a scavenger hunt and then come back here and answer some riddle. Nope. I know that you need no incentive to visit this shop. You love to support women in business. You love beautiful things! You are there! And you even get a discount!

Enjoy 15% off!! Please enter coupon code NESTER15 in the comments box at checkout and you will be refunded the discount once your transaction settles. {custom items excluded and this offer expires 12-31-08}

Oh so many advertisements for stuff and other blogging mommies who make and sell stuff. How about some decorating? Cheap Nester Decorating. We don't care that you met Fussy or that someone sent you a printer. We aren't going to BUY a printer if we're on the Dave Ramsey program like you. Your blog was nicer when you focused more on decorating and less on the fact you are a blogger.

Laura said...

Would love these! :) Love the name of her business too!!
