Anna Bondoc {DISCOUNT}

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

What’s in a name?  As expectant parents, we take days, weeks, MONTHS to consider the perfect name to give our precious baby.  Whether it’s a name passed down through the family, a religious name with so much meaning, something you saw written on a sidewalk years ago {that was how my mother named me}, etc…browsing through books and internet sites and recommendations from friends, picking a name is the most important decision you may make as a parent, they have to live with that name for the rest of their lives so make it a good one!  And the newest fashion to show-off ones’ name, ART!  I say “new” since this type of wall decor wasn’t as popular just a few years ago, now it’s all the rage and here’s a company that truly turns your child’s name into a fabulous piece of art!

I recently got to see an Anna Bondoc nameplate up close and personal and let me just tell you…WOW!  Anna Bondoc art in general is modern and edgy, yet super colorful and fun, design a nursery with some of these creations and you’ll have the nursery of your dreams!

Framed or unframed…let me recommend framed, these nameplates are not just screen prints, there’s depth to them, it’s an actual creative design that POPS in the frame!  A true masterpiece for your child to treasure forever!  Mix and match your nameplate with some other amazing, captivating designs from Anna Bondoc to fill the nursery…or the whole house!  This artwork is not babyish so I can see lining the living room or playroom or office walls with piece after brilliant piece.  Enjoy browsing!  And if you are prego, good luck with the name search, take your time and create a name you’ll be proud of!

Take 20% off all nameplates now through August 15th at Anna Bondoc with the code BABYELAN20! Think gifts, a nameplate would make the perfect shower gift!

If your like me, you have items for your little one everywhere. Sippy cups, bottles, binky’s, you name it.  Stuff that can easily get confused with friend’s children’s, siblings, etc. Well, I have discovered the solution to avoid mix ups on who’s is who’s!  I.D. Me labels is the answer. Adorable labels that you can stick on just about anything!

I love the sample labels I received for my son from I.D. Me labels.  They are fantastic.

They are super cute and come in various sizes.  I love the fact that they are microwave and dishwasher safe!

Alloy Jewerly {$50 GIFT CERTIFICATE GIVEAWAY}

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

I found it!  I’ve been searching all over the Internet, the malls and local boutiques with this specific idea in my head for my Mothers Day necklace.  My husband wanted to surprise me with a gift but our 3 year old gave that thought away ;-)   So with the green light from my husband I began looking for what I knew I specifically wanted, something simple, elegant, charming and personal (to me).    But it couldn’t cost us a fortune either.   I was referred to the site from a dear friend, she must know me very well :-)   And immediately I said, “ahhhhh this is it” and got very excited to have found my Mothers Day necklace, a keepsake, a cherished symbol of my loving family to wear with immense pride.  Here is mine!

Alloy Jewelry most well-known for its custom hand-stamped, personalized sterling silver and copper necklaces. Each piece in the collection is created to order and is different from the next, and is truly a unique gift for any mother, grandmother, bridesmaid, or friend. Leah will cut, hammer, hand-stamp, and oxidize each piece, so the options are endless as far as what can be created for you. You will fall in love with your custom necklace, and will never want to take it off! :-) The jewelry is not just your traditional “mommy jewelry”. In addition to stamping the names of your children, grandchildren, pets, and other relatives,  often Leah makes jewelry with quotes, inspirational phrases or words on them. She has stamped jewelry in loving memory of people who have passed away, made matching charms for circles of friends, and have stamped medic alert bracelets.
The options are endless!

I’m going to let the testimonials reinforce my sentiments. Leah is the owner and mother of two boys. She is amazingly flexible, has insight and vision.  I simply babbled a bit about myself and my family over email and she was able to design a custom made completely personalized necklace for me to wear everyday with enormous amounts of pride and love.  I’m thrilled! But as you’ll see when you read the testimonials or shop the website, Alloy Jewelry can be for anyone of any age!  With Leah working with you to make your item, not just necklaces for women, earrings, bracelets too, 100% just for you as you envision it.  Wonderful!  Graduations gifts, maybe your daughter is going for her first interview for a summer intern, or you son is having his First Communion, Mothers Day is the obvious gift that comes to mind, first time mom or mother of multiples!  The possibilities are truly endless when you are in complete control, Leah can design it for you!  Charm bracelet with precious glass stones wrapped elegantly in silver wire, beautifully feminine.

This is one of the most special, amazingly crafted, unique items I have ever bought. Leah worked with me to make a pendant for my daughter. She made my little dream a reality. It is beautiful and corresponding with her was a pleasure as well. Thank you so much Leah…I can’t wait until she comes back from her trip so I can give it to her”

“Leah- My stepmother was so touched by the necklace you made with all 7 of her grandchildren’s names. She hardly ever takes it off. And the ones you’ve made for me are perfect: simple and elegant. Especially since my first one was the first time both my boys names were together and I got it in the hospital which was amazing. You’re the best!!”

It isn’t too late to buy a Mothers Day gift if that is a task on your list.  Shoot Leah an email and she will dazzle you with her abilities! Realize that the item will not be received on Mothers Day however, but maybe you draw a picture of the peice you have in mind and slip it in her card, saying” being made with love” :-)

Babykakesink

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

 

When I came across Babykakesink, I instantly fell in love with their adorable line of  infant and toddler items. So cute, personalized, original, and detailed, simply fantastic!  This awesome company was founded by Catherine Stephens, who is also the designer. She came up with the name because she calls both her baby girls “Baby Kakes”, thus that is how Babykakesink got its start. 

Let’s get stated with the amazing Babykakesink clothing line.  Original Tee’s, onesies, and sets that are so magnificent.  I received 2 adorable T-shirts for my little man from Babykakesink’s alphabet line.  They have his name and initial on them.  Love them!  He is pictured  in one of his “Charlie” t-shirts (above).  We get so many compliments on them, and its so nice that they are personalized, adds such a special touch! 

 

Babykakesink’s moto is “chic designs for the sassy kinds”!  You just have to check out their awesome items. From bibs, blankets, pettiskirts and tutu’s, and sassy footwear to name a few, you will be head over heals!
