Sugar Sugar

I LOVE Sugar Paper's stationery so when I got word that they had created a new website AND were offering 20% off on all orders through June 15th it seemed too good to be true! Now in addition to darling paper goods they have great organizational items, baby things and gifts! Hooray!

Photo Overload

After the twins were born, any time I would be out and about without them (not all that often mind you) people would ask to see pictures of them. As a first time, sleep-deprived mom I didn't yet have my act together with a cute brag book and would pull out a single picture of them to share with the world. Because of this, I believe that every new mom should get a brag book upon checking out of the hospital but since that doesn't often happen, this one at Hable Construction would make a great gift for any new parent, grandparent or parent who is still pulling out that single picture from the bottom of her purse.

How can a site called Cocoa Crayon be anything but great?

I discovered these darling sticky note page markers from Bobs Your Uncle at Cocoa Crayon and think they are such a great way to stay organized and have a little fun all at the same time.

Buckets Galore

I love to entertain and found a darling corregated tin bucket that I put drinks on ice in so that everyone can help themselves and feel at home. I usually just tie a ribbon around it to help it coordinate with the color scheme but now that I've seen these from The Macbeth Collection I may have to rethink this all together. They have everything from buckets and vases to trays and even cute clipboards and file folders for organizing in style...definately worth a look!

Perfectly Pink did a fabulous post today on 10 fun polka dot finds under $50! She found some wonderful items and challenged anyone else who wanted to add to the list.

Beach Totes

I love bags and these totes from Room Service Home have my name written all over them....they are so bright and cheery. I've been thinking a lot lately about using a re-usable bag for my groceries in order to help with the enviornment, etc...and these might just fit the bill and help me look stylish at the same time. Might even have to add them to my birthday list for darling hubby! For my fellow catalog lovers, RSH also has a catalog....more fun things to look forward to in the mailbox!

Great Grosgrain

As most of you know I love anything striped and all things grosgrain so when I saw these darling dayplanners from www.trulymom.com that had striped grosgrain ribbon as the primary feature I fell in love. They have adorable stationery as well and best of all the company was started by four young moms with a great story! They are also offering 10% off on purchases with the code "treehouse" at checkout.

See Jane Work

How can a website called See Jane Work be anything but fun? www.seejanework.com actually makes me want to organize and be organized. And to think we can be stylish all at the same time! Doesn't get much better than that!
