These images always make me want to collect something, but what?  There are so many wonderful things, and one can't collect them all. Right? That's how you end up on Hoarders.

 Oh, and for reals, what are you all waiting for?  Hop over and enter to win a mini Piggy Bank personalized by yours truly.  Remember, piggy banks are not just for babies...adults love them too!  Vacation funds, rainy day funds, shoe funds....mani/pedi funds.

A few fun finds....

 
I saw this yesterday on Etsy's front page, and thought it was just too awesome not to share.  If I had a beach house, I'd totally buy one!  

I'm in love with these paper dolls!  I want to get one for everyone I know....she even makes custom ones!  Eeek!
 
I'm obsessed with stripes lately, and it's so ridiculous hot here...today's high is 108...that's actual temp, not even factoring in the heat index.  This little dress looks like it would be cool, and it's super cute.  Win, win.

**********************************************************************************************************************************

I am linking up to Yes, Teacher's Tickle me Tuesday post. Hop over and check out the other great finds!


What's the high for today where you are?  Can anyone beat 108 F?


Luckily, I'm nice and cool in the office.  I cannot imagine having to work out in this.

p.s. Don't forget to check out yesterday's post and enter to win one of my brand new mini Piggy Banks, personalized any way you want!   Even if there are no kiddos in your life, maybe you need a shoe fund, rainy day fund, or even just an ice cream fund...yum, ice cream sounds good!

NEW, NEW, NEW....And a Giveaway!

Hi all!  I hope you had a lovely weekend.  I spent a good portion of Saturday adding all sorts of new cuteness to the shop.  {Plus, new designs will be popping up over the next week or two!}

I'm excited to announce the addition of Personalized Growth Charts, Pink and Blue Piggy Banks and two new sizes of our white piggy bank:  JUMBO and mini.  :)


Our growth charts are hand stitched and hand painted.  Of course, I can paint the name in any color you like! I love how cute they are rolled up to give as a gift.  Child's height can be tracked using a sharpie...totally adorable, no?

These Pink and Blue Piggy Banks have stolen my heart!  I cannot wait to paint one.  Aren't they adorable!?

And, now I have a whole family of white Piggy Banks too!  JUMBO, Large {our original}, and mini.
With prices ranging from $16 to $70 painted, there's something for every budget!

Wheeee!  Can you see why I was excited!?

In fact, I'm so excited, that I wanted to share with you, my dear readers.  This week, I'm giving away one of our new mini Piggy Banks!  I'll paint it up with whatever the winner likes, for you or a friend.  How does that sound?
