Coupon Cabin's 25 Days of Giveaways! Sponsor Fanny & Claude

Yep, it's time for another sponsor for this amazing giveaway! You are going to love love love this sponsor!

Fanny & Claude's Fabulous Concoctions. 

First and foremost- I love this name. It is so fun and whimsical to me. There is a lovely explanation of how they came about this name- you must read it! I wouldn't do it justice to try and paraphrase it here lol. So please- GO READ IT!

Well, Fanny & Claude  has fabulous skincare items! This company is ran by Christine and Siobhan. Neither of them come from a skincare background --- they both wanted a career change and Fanny & Claude was created!

I think that is absolutely amazing! I love it when people follow their dreams!

Now- on to the products, because I know you are dying to hear about them.... They have bath salts, shea butter, and lip balm! Ohh, it all looks so good!

Here's a short little bio on them!

Decadent Pampering.......the natural way........

Our range is inspired by a vintage beauty regime, from a time when skincare products were made using good quality ingredients with natural scents and without the cocktail of chemical components that appear in most modern products.

We don't claim to maxi-lift or plump your skin or generally defy your age, but we do know that moisturising and taking good care of your skin is a really important part of looking after yourself and the more naturally you can do that, the better. Fanny & Claude make natural skincare products using really good quality ingredients and they are all made by us with love and care, for you.

Fanny & Claude have been involved in making hand-made skincare products for over eight years and we have built a small but successful range of products selling direct to people locally. A year ago we decided to sell to shops too so now Fanny & Claude's Fabulous Concoctions are beginning to be seen all over the country...email us to see if we have an outlet near you or have a look at our products in our online shop.

I am so excited they are one of my sponsors! You have to be sure to come back and enter the giveaway! I know you won't be sorry!!!! So be back here on November 1st! Woo Hoo!

Coupon Cabin's 25 Days of Giveaways! Sponsor TG Bears

I love giveaways! And this Coupon Cabin 25 Crazy Dayz of Giveaways is going to be amazing! I am so excited about my prize package I can't wait to introduce you to my sponsors.

My first sponsor is the fabulous TG Bears.

TG Bears has the most adorable teddy bears. Yes, I will completely admit I am a sucker for teddy bears. They are just so cute.

These bears make me smile. The top is called Noel, then Chloe, then Earth Bear. I love the names. I feel they give the bears so much character <3

Well.... Now that I have shown you a bit about the fabulous bears.... let's get down to the creator... Monica. Here's a bit about how she started!

My name is Monica and I have a long standing love for teddy bears and that is how TG Bears was born. It is a bear family that started with a Classic Teddy called Theodore, but has since grown to include a lot of others. But no matter who they are, they sport their family emblem on their left sole, leaving no doubt as to their heritage. The right sole can be personalized for yourself or that special person.


I make all the bears you see on this website myself from start to finish, there is no modular sewing operation. Each bear is made with love, fashioned with affection and hugged when completed. By nature of being handmade, each bear has a slightly different “something” about them, making no two exactly identical in features and expression.

Along with creating fabulous bears, Monica also donates. She has two bear lines that are for charity. She donates to Angels for Epilepsy and Henry's Hope. (you can find more info here!)

Well... Monica was so kind to be one of the amazing sponsors for this giveaway starting November 1st! So be sure to check back here and enter! You DEFINITELY will want to enter this giveaway!

Golden Globes Gift Lounge Prep

As some of you who have been reading my blog for some time now know, Jewels for Hope will be gifting 100 items in the Golden Globes Gift Lounge and 100 items in the Oscars Gift Lounge, both hosted by GBK Productions.

I haven't been blogging as much lately because we have been working so diligently on the items for the swag bags.

We wanted to make something classy and elegant. Nothing like our big chunky twisted wire pieces--- because we totally understand that those kind of items are not for everyone. But we figured, simple & classy can be worked into any outfit.

Here is 100 necklaces.

Yep. 100. We are so completely thrilled to be done with them! We poured our heart and soul into these pieces.

They are all different colors- representing each of the fabulous organizations we donate to.

A couple close up shots? Well... if you insist....

These necklaces are all Swarovski Crystals and Pearls. swooon.

Today I actually started packaging some the items. I am so happy they look so good! We had looked long and hard for the perfect boxes, perfect ribbons, and perfect stickers for the boxes. Everything has to be just right- I mean, these are going to the celebs here. Can't use damaged goods!

We actually were so excited that we found out about this company that has ribbon-- they were only like an hour away!!!!! It's called May Arts!

This ribbon is absolutely perfecccct. Using it today I was so pleased that we purchased from this company. The ribbon has such a great feel to it- really high quality. I'm used to rummaging through the dollar bin at Michaels for my ribbon- so this was a treat to use such pretty sturdy ribbon!

Look how fun this design is! They are the same colors as our cards that are in the boxes- we love that turquoise./mocha combo. It looks so sharp! And hello? Double sided ribbon! Can't beat that. May Arts had so many designs to choose from- but this one definitely won in the end. We love this funky-fresh design!

I know you all are dying to see how some of the boxes came out. Unfortunately, I'm going to make you wait. *evil laugh*.

Don't worry though- I will be writing tons of posts about my progress getting ready for the Golden Globes Gift Lounge! And who knows.... maybe after the gift lounge I'll be able to come back here with some great photos of some CELEBS wearing our products *fingers and toes crossed for us please*

In Honor of The Tatas- Sponsor Spotlight- Old Chateau

Without even realizing it, my next sponsor is actually a local sponsor from right near me!! So I am thrilled to introduce you to, Old Chateau!

Jennifer, the creator of Old Chateau has an adorable line of baby gear such as bibs, burp cloths, and blankets (say that 3x fast?). Personally, I kinda wish I had a baby just to buy all the cute things for he/she. But since I definitely do not see that happening anytime soon (no matter how much the fiance pushes for it) I guess I can ooohhh and ahhhh over these adorable patterns and pieces and hope I have a baby shower to go to in the near future.

Old Chateau has very cute items! Here.. I'll show you and you'll totally understand what I'm saying....

What I have shown you are some burp cloths and some adorable blankets! Perfect for cuddling with the little one!

Now, I know you all are just dying to know a little bit about the woman behind the brand... so here you have it....

Hello! My name is Jen and I live in New England, where the changing seasons remind us that everything we encounter in life has an underlying symmetry and beauty –if we are open to it. In addition to nature, I am inspired by my three amazing young children. I consider creativity as one of life’s many gifts to me, and am so very fortunate to have had over a dozen of my projects published over the past few years in crafting, sewing and special edition baby magazines. 
 
My OLDCHATEAU line of baby items was birthed at the same time as my youngest son, while my husband was deployed in Afghanistan. I had taken a break from other craft projects and was thrilled when the idea for sewing bibs, burping cloths and baby blankets out of designer fabrics popped up.
I am happy to share that we are reunited as a family, and that my creative forces are in full swing. I hope you enjoy my little shop and find something that you love!

Jennifer is also a member of The Artisan Group- which is how I came about her fabulous work!

I am so grateful that Old Chateau will be donating an item for the In Honor of the Tatas Giveaway starting in just 1 day!!!!!!!!! I won't let you know what item she is donating though- because really, that wouldn't be any fun for me. So you're just going to have to come back and see (and enter!). Love Pink <3

In Honor of The Tatas- Sponsor Spotlight- Contemporary Jewelry

You may have recently seen me post about the lovely shop Contemporary Jewelry! Beatriz, the owner, was one of my sponsors for the Fall Fashionista Giveaway that just ended!

Well... We are going to be giving you another chance to win some Contemporary Jewelry since Beatriz is now going to be a sponsor in the In Honor of the Tatas giveaway event too!! Woo Hoo!

Did you miss my last post about Contemporary Jewelry? Well, don't worry- you'll find out more about it now!!

Contemporary Jewelry has exquisite pieces of work! Take a look!

Want to know a little about Beatriz?


I try to surround myself with tranquility and peace. Music, books and open space are very important to me and, I believe, are echoed in my work. I like to make pieces with simple outlines but that are striking and have a modern feel.

All my pieces are of my own design and execution. By shaping metal with hammer, saws and files, I create individual pieces, highlighted by carefully chosen stones.


Well- you will have another chance to win some fabulousness from Contemporary Jewelry! But- you'll have to come back on October 21st to see! Love Pink <3

In Honor of The Tatas- Sponsor Spotlight- Sock Monkey Emporium

I'm very excited about this post!

Growing up in my house LambChop was always on the television. Yes, you read that correctly, LambChop.

So, since I have been a lover of sock monkeys since I was a little girl, you can see why I am excited to write this post for all of my fabulous readers!

One of the sponsors for the In Honor of the Tatas Event is  Sock Monkey Emporium!

Who doesn't love sock monkeys!!! Yes I realize that LambChop technically isnt a sock monkey- but c'mon you guys understand the correlation!

Sock Monkey Emporium has such an assortment of sock monkeys, you will have the hardest time choosing your favorite! I know I did!

 Yes, of course I had to show you the zebra print one first! Hello- zebra print girl here!

Emma, the creator of these gorgeous Sock Monkeys, is a member of The Artisan Group which is how I came about her lovely items.

A short description of Emma? Sure!

I'm a stay at home mum creating new friends out of a brand new pair of socks!!
I am a proud member of The Artisan Group which features talented artisans in many different fields. My business cards will form a part of the Goodie Bags given to celebrities at the 2012 GBK Oscars Gift Lounge!!!  I love a challenge so if there is a special animal you would like creating, please send me a convo!


Based in the UK we pride ourselves on creating quality, bespoke gifts from a simple pair of socks. From monkeys to cats, dinosaurs to crocodiles we have made them all, and love the challenge of a custom order. The monkeys share a house with their friends Alice (6) and Charlotte (3) who make sure each and every creation passes the cuddle test. 2011 order book is currently closed; 2012 order book is open!!"

Again, I will state- WHO DOESN'T LOVE SOCK MONKEYS!

They are perfect for all ages! You may think I'm crazy for saying that- but it's true! Tell me, if you have a friend who is, let's say obsessed with zebra print... wouldn't an adorable sock monkey be perfect? Yes. Yes I think so.

Well, Emma so graciously will be giving away one of these fabulous items away for the In Honor of the Tatas Event! Woo Hoo! Be sure to come back on October 21st to see what item she's giving away! Love Pink <3

In Honor of The Tatas- Sponsor Spotlight- Hooked on Yarn CT

Hooked on Yarn CT is another one of my amazing sponsors for the In Honor of the Tatas Event happening on October 21st (soo soon!)

You probably know by now that this sponsor is my lovely Aunt, Lori. She creates fabulous crocheted items! Personally, I love her scarves and hats the most- but she makes everything from fingerless gloves to hats to trivets and coasters!

Um I know that it isn't near xmas (yet), but isn't that Christmas Tree Trivet ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! ** If only I cooked.

Lori crochets in her spare time- she uses this time to relax and calm down after work. It has grown from a hobby to a passion for her. She just loves yarn and crocheting every night brings her happiness.

Well....Hooked on Yarn CT has kindly offered to be a sponsor for the In Honor of The Tatas event!! She will be giving away a gorgeous Pink item. But- I won't let you know yet which item it is! You'll have to come back on October 21st and see!!!!
