It's Time For A Giveaway !

Hey y'all!

Let me introduce my friend Reeve Coobs!

I was over the moon honored awhile back when Reeve

asked me to do a few illustrations for her blog and now, 

I get to host a GIVEAWAY for her new CD!

My copy went in the CD player... and it's still there!

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

I met Reeve through the Tosco Music Party and The Evening Muse and I believe it was around her 21st birthday! But somehow, I feel like we've always been friends... I can't remember life without Reeve in it! She has the voice and heart of an angel! When we both had more free time, we use to get together lots to knit and solve all the problems of the world. In fact, I think Reeve is one of the few friends I have that has ever MADE ME SOMETHING! You know how I feel about a handmade gift! BEST! 

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

I can hardly wait until the CD Release Party next weekend, Friday, Nov. 1st, 6:30pm @ The Neighborhood Theatre. Here's what they have to say about Reeve and I couldn't say it better myself... She "creatively blends folk, pop, country, and rock into an original sound of her own. Her lyrics are smart and real, and her voice is rich and haunting and leaves you wanting more. Reeve's songs can sometimes be uncomfortably honest, but that is what makes her such a moving performer. She has a very powerful voice but unlike most voices you hear today, Reeve knows when to keep it soft and light. Her thoughtful lyrics and voice joined with her tasteful guitar playing makes for an extremely rare talent. In 2005 Reeve won the Creative Loafing of Charlotte Reader's Pick award for Best Female Vocalist."  

She's been as busy as a bee making some VERY cool stuff for the party! 

So I had to get with the spirit and choose something I've made 

to add to the giveaway....

Color My World !

I think Leslie Sinclair has certainly figured out the 

KEY to BEAUTIFUL design and because I have

an insanely busy week ahead and behind me,

I've decided to extend HER BOOK GIVEAWAY.

If you've not visited Segreto's website, please take a moment 

to click in and get inspired. Personally, I need to redecorate

my entire home after my visit! This is my inspiration for

my very needy guestroom!

This coffee table...no words!

Maybe I should just move to Houston so I can have Leslie color my world.

For now, I'll have to settle for THE BOOK.

The Resource Directory in the back is worth a million bucks!

The pages, all 300 of them, are priceless!

From the embossed linen cover to the satin page marker,

this book is by far my favorite and most useful

interior design book that I've ever owned,

but my to-do list is now staggeringly long...thanks Leslie!

Follow Leslie and CrushParty on Facebook or her blog

for chances to win your own copy! It's surely worth a click or two!

beautiful collections of interior photographs I've ever seen.

"Oh, this one's my favorite." as I pass every page, so you're just going to 

have to be "in it, to win it!"

...Make sure you check out her painted furniture...

...and the children's rooms are irresistible...

...These floors and risers...oh my...

...and this kitchen...

I HAVE NO WORDS!

truly my dream kitchen!

This is just a tiny peek inside what awaits you @ their Website.

I'd show you more, but the little noise the pages make

as you turn them in her Book Preview are delightful!

My New Favorite Color !

The prettiest little boutique on East Boulevard here in Charlotte. 

Ok, maybe it's simply the prettiest little boutique in all of Charlotte. 

 

Here's a peek, but only a peek, you need to go visit! 
 

 

Owner, Sormeh Hafezi, 

brings to Charlotte collections as beautiful and unique as she is. 

I knew it was different the minute I crossed the threshold!

 

This morning I feel in love with 

their collection of ~ Melissa Joy Manning ~ fine jewelry!

 

 

Those Black Druzy Bezel set earrings are KILLING ME!

I need a birthday!

 

Wanna go shopping? "Like" them on ~ FACEBOOK ~

and you'll be entered to win a $150 giftcard when they reach 1000!

It'll get you started, but I promise it's a "Double Bag Boutique!"

This Is What I'm Thinking . . .

Most people think starched, perfectly pressed, white shirt

when they think of ~ Carolina Herrera. ~ 

Me? I can not get ~ this jacket ~ out of my head!

Looks simple enough to make if you have a fur collar.

I've got a few I've gotten at vintage shops so...I won't be headed 

to Neiman's with this on my list of things to try on...

but maybe these...

  

~ Marc Jacobs Swimsuits ~ are so adorable!

Charlotte Knit Buddies: Not sure if she still carries it, but Tangles in Waxhaw use to have the real fur for knitting and trim! Would be perfect on top of some Plymouth Baby Alpaca Grande, Rowan Lima!, or maybe some yummy Malabrigo Merino?! (While gathering these links, I ran across Plymouth's new Baby Alpaca Ultimo! Do any of my girls carry this? Sammie Jo? Debbie? Cheryl? Remi? Elizabeth? Y'all, Do I need some? Reminds me of a little version of their discontinued Alpaca Loop...or my dog Rush :( 

Almost finished with ~ SimplyMel's ~ Boathouse Row! ~

It's charcoal grey in ~ Baby Alpaca Grande! ~

She's so sweet, I think it will have to get a little

embellishment before it goes in the mail! 

And The Winner Is . . .

Melissa of Reverie Daydream! 

Step away from the needles!

You've won the capelet!

I did a little twirl when ~ PrettyStuff ~ and I put the numbers in the 

~ Random Generator! ~

I'll swing by my LYS tomorrow 

to see what colors they have in stock

so you can have your capelet ASAP!

I'll email you your choices and to get your shipping info!!

This was so fun, I think I'll do it again soon.

A little bauble maybe?
