And if you don't find what your looking for in Stephanie's shop, she will be happy to work with you on a custom order!

What I really love about this shop is that you don't have to stop at invitations!  You can actually order everything you need for your ultimate party all in one place.

If you're mind can imagine it, they've got it: Kids Thank You Cards, Notes, Cupcake Toppers, Party Favor Tags, Water Bottle Labels, Banners, TShirts, Centerpieces, Door Signs, Food Tent Cards, Centerpieces, Chocolate Wrappers, Cake Decorations and More!

I'm especially in love with the name/age shirt concept, and Cutie Patooties has some ADORABLE designs available for these as well.  And in case you were wondering.... Yes! You can order matching cupcake toppers, invitations, etc. to match these too.  Super!

No matter what kind of party you're planning, be it a kid's birthday party, a baby/bridal shower, or even something a little more adult friendly, Cutie Patootie Creations has the custom design for you!

Sponsor Spotlight - Julian & Co

I'm happy once again to announce Julian & Co as a sponsor on my blog.  This is a wonderful shop with a very unique line of  heirloom quality jewelry for moms, dads, and children.

These lovely pieces can be personalized with your child's name, birthdate and time, weight, and length.  And you can even add birthstone charms!

The owner of this company is a mom named Tania, and the company is named for her son Julian who was born 11 weeks early and weighed only 3lbs 4oz.  When Tania's husband purchased a personalized baby bracelet for Julian, and it was too big for his tiny wrist, Tania set out to design her own sterling silver id bracelet for Julian.  This was the first of many pieces in the Julian & Co line!

The  Signature line of Julian & Co  is the baby hand and feet jewelry.  So overjoyed to have Julian home, Tania handcrafted sterling silver disc pendants adorned with Julian’s own hand and feet prints, as well as his name and birth date, for her and her husband to wear. As soon as her family and friends saw Tania's lovely creations, orders came rolling in, and the business grew from there. 

Julian & Co. offers jewelry that you can have forever as a keepsake.  It is durable and heirloom quality, and most pieces have a high shine mirror finish and are thick enough to be personalized on both sides. 

You can purchase these to commemorate the birth of your own child or grandchild, and they also make lovely gifts for birthdays, showers, baptisms, graduations, and more!

Shabby Apple Dress Review

A few months ago I was super excited to host a giveaway for a beautiful dress from Shabby Apple, and I was thrilled once again a couple of weeks ago when Heather from Shabby Apple contacted me about writing a review! Yay!

And guess what?  The lovely people at Shabby Apple are offering you a special coupon code for 10% off!  The code is simplysweethome10off and is good for the next 30 days.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Shabby Apple, they offer beautiful women's dresses that are vintage-inspired.  Whether you're looking for something to wear to the office, church, or out on the town, you're sure to find something to fit your style. And for all the mom's out there, Shabby Apple also has little girl's dresses and maternity dresses.

I was given several dresses to choose from, and the one I was chose was the Azure Coast.

Here's the official description from Shabby Apple: A true gem of a multi-tasker, the Azure Coast dress, with it's playful puff sleeves and no-nonsense shirt collar, is perfect for the office or a weekend getaway at the shore.  This ocean-colored beauty sports faux-wrap styling—the skirt closes all the way—giving you the look of your favorite wrap dress without the anxiety of worrying whether or not you're unintentionally showing too much leg.

I absolutely love this dress, from the puff sleeves and collar to the wrapped style.  And I really like this shade of blue---almost navy, but not quite.  And I also love it's conservative and understated, yet still very cute and flattering.

What I love best about the overall style of the dress, is that it makes it perfect to wear to so many places and occasions.  It's dressy enough to wear to church, a party, or even a wedding.  But it's also a perfect dress for casual wear and would be appropriate for the office or a business meeting.

Did you like my photo shoot with the dress?  I hope so!  Now here's some of the other dresses that I'd love to have from Shabby Apple!

Want to stay updated on the latest promotions at Shabby Apple and get exclusive discounts? It's easy! Just "like them" on Facebook!

Please check out all of Shabby Apple's lovely lines, and don't forget to use the coupon code simplysweethome10off to get 10% off!
