Felt like a little spring today..I don't know the origin of this image, but I'm pretty sure only JCrew can influence us to mix colors like that! x -

It feels like such an indulgence to have a pillow monogrammed, I love it!

look for less

While I'm sure we would all love $1200 earrings gracing our ears like Mandy Moore, you can achieve the same look with these gorgeous soiree studs from Stella & Dot. Hmm.. that's a savings of $1174....

If you're in Canada you can get your own right here! Only $26 :)

what to do, what to do..

Post is completely unrelated to these gorgeous images from Patterson Maker...

Grandma ( babysitter + nanny extraordinaire ) is moving soon, ( just to a new house in the same very close to us neighborhood, phew! ) so she's taking a few days off to paint the house to get ready for move in. That means I'm off from work and the girls and I have 3 days to keep ourselves busy, or completely lounge around. Yes, there will be pajama parties ;)

Thursday?! Already? Ok.. it's been a pretty good week so far. Lori found our bridesmaid dresses for her July wedding ( I can't share yet! ) and they are gorgeous. Wowza. ( thanks Lor ;)

I had a new stylist join my Stella & Dot team, so that's fabulous, and dear Karla referred a client to me that I have hit it off famously with. So, all in all..good week. You? x

You could win a whole lot of Stella & Dot!

SO sorry, but right now this is only open to Canadian residents. ( as a Canadian, I can only sell to Canadians :( (

for now!! it's coming soon :)

A great shopping opportunity for busy ladies & gents! You have a chance to win alot of fabulous free jewelry! Here are the details..

MYSTERY HOSTESS TRUNK SHOW

Did you know Stella & Dot offers amazing hostess rewards? For example if a trunk shows sales hits $1000.. the hostess gets $250 in free jewelry + 4 items at 50% off. As the totals climb, so do the rewards ( $1000 + , equals 25% of sales! ) Sound good? How would you like a chance to win them?!

I'll host the trunk show on Sunday March 20th. Every order of $40 or more gets your name entered to win the hostess rewards. Spend $80, that's two entries! Told 3 friends that placed an order of $40 +? That's an entry each for them and that's 3 more entries for you, the more orders, the better the win! Did you know 50% of Stella & Dot items are under $50?


Orders can be taken by phone, facebook, email or through the website! Visit www.stelladot.com/sarahsshop, click find your hostess and type MYSTERY HOSTESS. Friends and family from all over Canada can participate! Pass the word along, invite your friends.. you can start placing your orders anytime between now and March 20th! If you have a friend or family member interested in participating, just send me a message with your name so you get entered!

Hostess will be drawn at the close of the party!

If anyone is interested in details about joining my team and becoming a stylist, please let me know! You'll LOVE it!

Fun right?! x

a new look

before-

after-

when we built our house 2.5 years ago the builder wanted to charge us $700 to upgrade our cabinet handles. ( not kidding, can you imagine?! ) needless to say we found an option that we could live with, at no extra cost. Fast forward to now and our kitchen is ready for a little update. A trip to a new Lowe's in the neighborhood,and there we have it, bright shiny new hardware ( for under $75 ). I am adoring the polished chrome finish.. even Kevin notices the difference!

open or closed?

Beautiful examples of great open shelving in the kitchen. Definitely one for the open argument. ( No I'm not renovating.. I just love the look, but would probably make myself crazy rearranging pieces all the time! How about you?! )
