Babies On The Brain

Baby C turned 2 yesterday and let's just say my cute little baby boy is not a baby anymore!  The big boy bed is being delivered in a week, the bedding arrived today and he spent today chasing his big sister around the backyard with a golf club screaming "Fore Sissy Fore!"  He doens't have a clue what it means, but it makes his big sister laugh and that makes him happy!

So in honor all of you just starting on the crazy journey of motherhood or those of you that are so sweet to throw a baby shower for your friends we have decided to mark ALL of our birth announcements and baby shower invites down 40% this weekend only.

YES, you read that correctly, 40%!  I have already gotten a couple of messages on Facebook thinking it is a mistake, but it is true!  Trust you, you will spend enough plenty on diapers and wipes and formula and college so save some $$$ on your announcements and announce your little prince or princess with a statement!

I framed both Mini K and Baby C's birth announcements.  I opted for a non-photo announcement and included a photo with it, but I LOVE this double card set.  One card is your announcement and the other is a photo framed in matching style.  This design comes in both pink and blue.

I love this classic blue shortall announcement for a boy.  So simple and sweet, and now two years later free of dirt, mud and all of that other "boy" stuff!

This shower invitation is one of our best sellers and one of my favorites.  I mean what is not to love about classic prep in blue and red!

We have gotten so many orders today with notes of thanks for the discount and all we can say is you DESERVE it!  Parenthood shouldn't mean changing your style, but for this weekend, it does mean saving  your money for a little something for yourself.....maybe our personalized sunglasses to hide the aftermath of those 3am feedings!

Did Someone Say Applique?

The crud, thankfully, has left the Grove! We are now ushering in all of our new items for spring!

You all know I LOVE a good monogram, and an appliqued monogram sends me over the edge. So when we found these items, we knew we HAD to carry them. They are made by the sister company to Leontine Linens so you know they are top notch in quality and workmanship.

All items can come with fabric laminated for an additional

$10 and all feature an applique monogra

m. Every style can come in every fabric. If you are interested in placing an order PLEASE send us an email as there are too many fabric choices to list on the website.

This set is my favorite. I love the navy seersucker and pink combo! 3 bags, all of which have an applique monogram. Compared to the other items, I think you get the most for your money with this set. The small bag can be used as your daily make-up bag, the medium sized bag for your work or gym bag and the large bag is perfect for longer travel. These would make the BEST graduation or bridesmaids gift.

What To Give: Personalized Lunchboxes

I realize I probably should have done this post at the start of the school year, but let's just pretend I am ahead of schedule for next year.

For the record, when it comes to children's gifts I refuse to give a toy as a gift, because well...anyone with kids knows the last thing you want in your house is another toy!

I confess to "borrowing" this idea from a PGG client and I think she is on to something. At the start of each year she decides what will be her birthday gift for her children's classmates and her young neices and nephews (under the age of 10). This way she doesn't feel like one child gets a better gift than the other and she can order everything at once and save on shipping costs.

This year she chose our metal personalized lunchboxes. They are perfect for, well lunch, trinkets, or Mini K's item of the moment, more Silly Bandz than I can count. She chose 2 girl designs and 2 boy designs ...one for the classmates and one for family. The lunchboxes run $40 each.

My favorite design is the mermaid...what's yours? I promise to post my favorite go to hostess gifts tomorrow.

You can pick yourself up off the floor now...I actually posted 2 days in a row!
