Willow House Jewelry by Sara Blaine -- 50% off!

If you haven't checked out the Last Chance Sale over in my Sara Blaine store, well, you are really missing out on some great deals! Just this week, all sixty items were marked down even more -- now 50% our original selling price. What makes this even better is that our original selling price was discounted significantly from the retail value of these special pieces. Sara Blaine is a world-renowned jewelry designer, and if her Willow House exclusive designs were available in retail outlets, they would be higher priced. You can see that these are really special prices on beautiful, heirloom-quality designer jewelry!

Willow House Weekly Deals: Nov. 26 - Dec. 2

I wanted to give you all a quick heads up on some amazing weekly deals over in my e-outlet right now through Sunday, December 2!

My personal favorites include the Gail Pittman hand-painted salt and pepper shakers in Provence for just $2! You should note that these are also available at this great price in the Sienna color, which is a red and gold theme.

I also think the 8-qt stainless steel stock-pot with lid is a great deal at just $35. I bought one of these over a year ago and I love it. It's heavy-duty, heats evenly, and is easy to clean up. Perfect for those winter soups, as well as for canning.

And one more highlight -- this one is already marked low stock -- is the Florentine Paper Towel Caddy, priced at $7.50 this week! It's beautiful in the kitchen or laundry room, but you might want a couple of extras, too. Think about one to stow extra toilet paper in the guest bath, and another to store your ribbon spools in your craft area.

Remember that your purchase of outlet deals can qualify you for a regular-priced item at half off -- see my current customer specials for details.

And don't miss my Black Friday & Beyond Giveaway, open for entries thru 11/29/12! If you've already entered, don't forget to pop back over for some return entries!

Announcing... a giveaway!

I'm excited to be teaming up with Jessica over at over at Jessica Leigh as she hosts a Willow House giveaway! I discovered Jessica's blog when she posted about a Willow House product she had purchased and made creative use of (see below).  Since then, I've enjoyed the views from her camera lens as well as of her mother's heart as she shares (not to mention her clever blog header!).


I wanted to get to know Jessica a little better and let you get to know her a little better, so I asked her to share a bit with us...

Describe your family in 21 words or less:

Brant, Jess, Sam, Saw, Jesus Christ, family, church, friends, fun, lake, books, Bible, cook, eat, trips, sports, laughter, happiness, loyal, and crayons

Why do you blog?

it's fun!  it allows me to document things so i can look back and remember how i did something, and i've met some super great people through the blog world!!!

How did you become interested in photography and, more specifically, portrait photography?

when my children were born, it was only natural that i would take TONS of photos, being i was a scrapbooker! 

In your opinion, what is the single most important quality of a successful portrait photographer?

well. . .i must say  you must have a business head (which i don't), be creative, and LOVE working with kiddos!!  ok. . .that was more than one single quality! :)

What can the average mom do to improve her work as the official family photographer?

find some photographers that you like. . .even a local photog, and watch their work. . .watch their posing and non-posing, locations they use around you, etc.  get down LOW. . . and fill up the viewfinder with your subject.  if you are using an slr camera. .  .try to get AWAY from the green box, and move to the AV setting (my favorite)!!

What do you order at Starbucks?

caramel mocha frappuccino

What's your favorite Willow House product?

most definitely my vintage spiral stand, which is used everyday!  a picture is seen here of it sitting on my bathroom vanity!!!

Please head on over to Jessica's blog to join the fun -- you don't want to miss this giveaway!
