there’s a lot going on
hey guys! it’s getting late and i promised to announce the winners of the book today. so with just a couple minutes left and a trip to the random number generator, out goes quick congrats to blogger courtney khail (above), and
the french mouse who’s beautiful feather pins can be found on her site. i love the talented bloggers i meet every day!
on another note, just wanted to say thank you and update you on the latest collaborations now in the tpa boutique.
welcome to joy from savvy city farmer who hand makes these grain pillows!
and the ladies from oomph with their gorgeous collection of little jewels. it’s all just in the first stages so not a lot is up yet. it all takes so much time!
the latest to come in is mandy of a la parisienne who took this shot.
last but not least, i wanted to give a heads up that melissa from reverie daydream is offering free shipping and 15% off everything in her site to tpa readers, so if you need a good guy’s gift or just want to get inspired, head over to see her collection of artisan works. she sent me this candle below and it’s just divine!
ok that’s it, more tomorrow~
sweet dreams!

Claudia,
I am honored to have anything I created in your gorgeous boutique. Thank you so much for this opportunity. Judith said it well, you do so many “selfless” acts that help so many of us. Thank you so much.
