Exciting news and a Black Friday sale!

I hope everyone had an absolutely incredible Thanksgiving that included far too much food and being surrounded by those you love.

I am so thrilled to introduce my new website to you:  www.prettylovelylittles.com

Pretty Lovely Littles is a handmade shop of accessories, decorations, and anything else that I think will make you happy when you see it.  The third Monday of every month I will be adding a new product, so there will always be new things to look at!

And since this is a grand opening happening on Black Friday, that can only mean one thing:  sales. 

Because I really want you guys to be able to see what I've been working on, get ten dollars off of any purchase of 20 dollars or more with code: BLACKFRIDAY2013.  If that's not enough to entice you, tweet anything about the shop and use code TWITTERPATED to receive 15% off your total purchase--just paste the link to your tweet in the comment section or tag me: @chelsjacobs_


Happy Holidays!  Throw on some Christmas music and get to shopping!  With sales like this, you can afford to buy stocking stuffers for others and something cute for yourself!

Today I am excited about everything.

Especially the new holiday items I've been adding to my etsy shop!  I spent the entire day on Friday making bows, and it was wonderful.  Sometimes a girl just needs to craft.  

What are you excited about today?

The Handmade Fair

Happy almost-weekend!

I have something SO exciting to tell you about today!

One of my favorite things to do is go to the farmer's market.  {If you have never been to a farmer's market, stop reading right this second and google one close to you.  You're welcome.}  It's so much fun getting to shop things you probably would have never heard of otherwise, and it's so cool knowing you are supporting local business and getting things for cheap.

So, after much brainstorming, I am so excited to announce The Handmade Fair--your very own online farmer's market!

Mark your calendars, because the first weekend of October is going to be filled with lots and lots of handmade shops offering discounted items--up to 50% off--for one weekend only.  All in one place for you to shop--just like a farmer's market!

I'll post more information soon!  If you are a shop that would like to participate, send me an email!

Have a wonderful Thursday!

My friend Sue and her incredible shop.

Happiest of Fridays to you!

Today I have my sweet friend Sue on the blog talking about her lovely etsy shop.

Chevron and Lace is an adorable etsy shop where Sue sells handmade things for both moms and babies.  Her maxi skirts are incredible--they're made with a yoga pants band.  {Yes, she did just combine the two most comfortable clothing items ever} And she manages to make changing a diaper fashionable:

Amazing, yes?  Hello, perfect baby-shower gift.  If you have a baby, or know someone that has a baby, or have ever seen someone that you think might have a baby, you need to go buy one of these, pronto.  And lucky for you, there's a discount code at the bottom of this post!

Here's a little bit more about the shop from the creator herself: 

After my husband and I graduated from college together, I was pregnant and we were playing the worst kind of waiting game. Not only were we anxiously awaiting the arrival of our little girl, but we were waiting for the job offers that we knew were just going to come flooding to us, eventually (ha ha). I started to go crazy with boredom, and that's when I busted out the sewing machine.

I started out sewing some things that I saw on Pinterest that I thought would be useful for baby and me. Almost a year after our baby was born, I decided that maybe some of the things I made would be useful to other moms out there, too!

Since then, I've experimented with different listings and found three items that really work. Now, I'm a fully-fledged shop owner with some great mommy, baby, and clothing items to offer, with more ideas in the works. I love to sew and nothing makes me happier than creating a cute, functional item for women and babies alike! I hope you take time to stop by and see what I have to offer. Thanks to Chelsea for having me on her blog today and I hope to see you soon!

Dreams and such.

Can we even believe it's August already?!

I loved every second of summertime, but I'm excited for August.  For me, August marks the beginning of the beginning of fall, the most wonderful season of all!  {I know that's stretching it, but what else are we going to celebrate in August?}

If you've been around my blog any amount of time, you know that I want to be a writer and I want to write books.  You also know that I'm extremely passionate about following your dreams.  So that's what I've been doing this year, following my dream of being a writer.  I've made a lot of progress, and the next step for me is so close, except for one little thing. 

Money. 

As it always seems to go in life, right? 

I really want to be able to take that next step in following my dream this August, and I know it's totally possible.  So I've added some new things to my etsy shop in hopes that you will fall in love with them and, in a roundabout way, support this journey I'm on. 

So what do you say?  You buy some pretty things to brighten up your August, and I get to keep chasing my dream.  It's a win-win-win-win-win. 

Have an AMAZING Tuesday, beautiful people.
