Little Background on the Bluebird and Violet:

hi :)
a little tid bit about me~ I’m a wife to my best friend and high school sweetheart, a mama to my two little sweet peas, and just a girl who loves Jesus, to write, dream, eat ice cream and pancakes for dinner, wear ballet flats, laugh everyday, spin in dresses, listen to the rain, sinking my feet into the sand, basking in really good music, and listen to my children's giggles. I love farmers markets and blueberry picking.

I love to look for some sort of simple happiness wherever I go, the simple and quiet, and going to auctions and antique shops.

While one of my favorite places in the whole wide world is my hubby's arms with my kids in between and of course Mackinac Island, I still dream of traveling the countryside of France looking for antique treasures, rolling down the hills of Ireland and sitting in an old villa in Italy telling stories with old friends, but until then, I’m happy right where I’m at.
I love shabby chic and vintage cottage charm and I love estate sales and antiquing, it’s like a mini vacation. I love to create buntings for yummy celebrations and passing along a vintage treasure or two.

All handmade items are made while pondering lovely thoughts and dreams, and I hope you love them as much as I do.
have a blessed day~
Wes

Sweet Spot Card Shop {Giveaway}

Today's {Sweet} Giveaway is from one of our newest sponsors:

Sweet Spot

CARD SHOP

Specializing in beautiful cards {All are handmade!}, hair pins, thumb tacks, DIY kits and more!!  This shop definitely has talent!!

                     

Here is a little more information on the owner and this sweet shop:

Remember the days when card shops existed and you could find SO many cool things in them? I used to love going to "Hallmark" shops with my grandmother because you never knew what you'd find that you just had to have.

I love card making but I think I love paper too much to just use it for cards. I've discovered (and continue to discover) new ways to take a flat piece of paper and make it fabulous.

I am a mommy of twins, so one of a kind really speaks to me. My kids may look exactly alike, but they are truly one of a kind. I carry that into my creative outlet. Besides the fact that I really enjoy it, I want for it to be just as special to others. 

I don't mass produce. Most of my items are one of a kind, just like my boys. I'd love it of people would cherish the cards they were given and even be motivated to frame them as art. This way they can remember the gesture as well as the sentiments behind the exchange. 

Everything here at the Sweet Spot is handmade by me and only me. I hope you can appreciate the love and the detail that goes into a handmade gift.

Today the Sweet Spot Card Shop is Giving away a 

$20 Gift Certificate !!!
