GIVEAWAY: Cupcakes & Mace Unicorn Necklace!

I’ve been a big fan of the Cupcakes and Mace (what a great name) Etsy shop for awhile now, and have ordered a few fun necklaces from them. I’m sure if you haven’t seen me raving about my own purchases, you have seen at least one, two or twelve Lovable Fridays featuring these cute and original pieces. I love how bright, kitschy and fun their accessories are with such attention to detail. Crafter extraordinaire and shop owner, Kim, is a total doll and decided to team up with me to give away one of my favorite items in her shop: the unicorn necklace!

Honestly, who wouldn’t want the coolest mythical beast (ok, so maybe tied with dragons…) around their neck? Plus, you can choose from a cornucopia of colors for your horny creature (had to, sorry) to make it more personalized.

1 – Leave a comment on this post detailing your favorite unicorn memory.
Mine? The 1982 film, The Last Unicorn. I was obsessed.

Good luck everyone!

Happy Hump Day: Heath Ledger

I’ll never forget how I felt when I found out about Heath Ledger’s passing. I was sitting at my desk at work not exactly working when I saw the news on a message board. I actually found it difficult to breathe and felt sick. It was strange to me because I had never had that kind of reaction to any celebrity death, but Heath had been one of my favorites since high school when I saw 10 Things I Hate About You (and then continued to watch it incessantly for years). It makes me sad to think of all the accomplishments and acclaims he could have had under his belt by now. Such a talent, such a beautiful human being…such a loss. I love you, Heath, and we miss you dearly.

Squeeworthy: Fun Finds @ Target

Like any good bargain shopper, I love me some Target (or Tar-jay)!
I especially love their new Marketplace – such a peaceful way to grocery shop…but I digress.

However, this time around I was surprised with some of the fun items I found all for less than $3.
No effin’ joke here.

Maleficent cereal bowl – $2.78

Oh yes, you know I had to grab this one! I don’t even know how I spotted it, but for all those Disney fans, they have a complete Disney villians collection. Online it shows this as part of a set of 6, but it was all by its lonesome at my local Target for that spectacular price. Rummage for your own!

Owl Buddies – $1.00

Yes, you read correctly. I was able to find this adorable duo in the famed Dollar Spot for a dollar each! I could hardly believe my eyes, so naturally a grabbed a pair for myself and another for my owl-obsessed buddy. Unfortunately, I just swung by Target again today (told you it was one of my favorites), and they were already gone. All Targets are different though, so give it a look-see just in case 😉

Paul Frank magnets – $1.38

I love that Target carries Paul Frank products, and not only for the kiddies. I’ve picked up thank you notes, napkins and now magnets for my refrigerator! How cute are they? I love how they compliment all our fun photo booth images I have wallpapering my kitchen appliances. P.S., who can you spot on my fridge?

Happy shopping!
