We've Moved!!

We've been busy busy little bees and we've updated our website. As part of the update, we now have our blog directly on our own site. Come by and check it out at: www.pinkysweardesigns.com

We'll be doing all our blogging straight on our own site now. Hope to see you there! :)

Nelliefay

*Boy Wonder #1 has the monkey, Boy Wonder #2 has the giraffe-both looking really "loved" now*

I know...we have been M.I.A. for a while. Let's just say...the fun filled summer days of play-dates, fam time, biz running, laziness (well, as lazy as two moms with two kiddos each and pets (Lo, not me) and many other obligations/responsibilities are getting the better of us. Every day seems to fly by and I think...where has it gone? Summers go by way too fast...and before we know it...fall is on the way and we are getting ready for...here it comes gulp...the holidays. I know...I said it here first;)

Anyway...I am here for a reason. One of my fav sites Nelliefay is having a super fun summer deal. They are giving shout outs on their Facebook page for their own inventory of must have's and throwing in extra deals along with their already discounted goods. All organic...every time...and soooo cute!

Great for stocking up on products for you, baby showers, birthdays, or double gulp...holiday. Bath products, toys, even organic toys for pets...its all here...and green...love that!

Unique LA Roundup

*This is Wilbur and I'm pretty sure Santa will be bringing him home this Christmas*

So...Lo and I are still coming down off our inspirational crafty cloud that is Unique LA (saw Sandra Oh-yay!...missed Ricky Gervais-boo. I'm kind of glad...I know I would have made a shear fool o' myself. I love the funny witty Brits waaaay too much). One of the things we love the most (aside from taking some orders;) is all the of creative fantastic people we get to meet.

This time around we were outside and surrounded by some very talented, fun, funny, neighbors. Even if we didn't get a chance to meet these peeps, we would still blog about their stuff...sooooo amazing...and hard not to take their stuff home...just ask Lo's M.I. L.;)

Here's one of my favs...Janie XY. Super cute gal and her side kick not only make show winning displays (they really are fantastic every show), but she hand makes the cutest plush toys you've evah seen! From gray whales to barbells...not to mention a big chicken leg (so funny). Washable, cuddle-able, and whimsy. The icing on the cake is...she and he are the sweetest-we lurve that:)

Happy Friday!

Ms. A.J. and I both have July babies who are celebrating their bdays this weekend! First up is her little dude's totally tubular train party, then my daughter's rainbow unicorn pegasus party. I'm up to my neck in rainbows, glitter and magic crystals and starting to feel the pressure so I'm going to mellow out a bit with some rainbow connection...

Have a magical, glittery, dancey, choo-choo-riffic weekend yourself! :)

Unique LA Shout Out - Glass Cathedrals

I'm really excited to check out Glass Cathedrals at Unique LA next weekend. Lisa Swerling creates tiny worlds inside shadow boxes to hang on your wall. I have an affinity for tiny things to begin with (who doesn't? everything is cuter tiny size!) and I love the juxtaposition of the tiny figures in their "big" worlds. And it looks like she does custom pieces, thinking one would be an awesome anniversary present for The Husband...(shhhh..)

Unique LA shout out-Pookaqueen

Today I'm headed to the Del Mar opening day of the races...the nags, as my fam called it growing up.

I've got my train ticket, my hat, and by the time you read this,hopefully, mint julep in hand;)

As I was looking through our Unique LA talent...I came across this Pookaqueen philly (sorry...had to), and I kicked myself for not finding her sooner...'cause I would have sported one of these beauties to the races today fo sho.
