Many of the shops have so generously offered a discount to everyone! Be sure to read the listings, visit the shops, and take advantage of the discounts before they expire!

Here we go...I'm excited to share these shops with you:

Check out the flowers on this jewelry, all hand-crafted! Amazing! Each piece is so unique, feminine, and elegant! I had a ball checking out their shop! Stranded Treasure's has so many beautiful pieces to choose from in so many different colors: rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and hair pins. You will have a hard time choosing! They even take custom orders, stop on by!

Stranded Treasures is offering the winner the Pink Rose Ring (shown above), an $18 dollar value! Ring includes free shipping.

Simply Sweet Baby Cakes has been torturing me with these pictures for days now! Cake is my weakness and I'm totally drooling on my keyboard! Get this: coconut cream, carrot cake, cookies and cream, german chocolate, grasshopper, lemon, pina colada, red velvet, simply sweet, and triple chocolate! There are so many times that it would be so convenient to just order some darling cupcakes, rather than make them. AND...grocery store cakes/cupcakes are seriously disgusting. Sorry, Albertson's, Wal-Mart, and Smith's. I would take Simply Sweet's any day...hint, hint...send me some!

Simply Sweet Baby Cakes is offering the winner 24 cupcakes, you can pick what kind and when you want them (birthday, holiday, or just because you're craving them!) This is over $50 dollars in value!

Scandeez is an eco-friendly children's shop with Scandinavian flair. The sell the most adorable baby/toddler shoes, clothing, and bags! I must admit that as of a couple months ago, I didn't quite feel the love for leather baby shoes...but, it's only because I hadn't tried them yet! It took me 4 kids to realize that these shoes are heaven-sent! Your babies can't pull them off so easily, they keep toesies warm AND they can actually walk while wearing them! My little 1 year old recently started walking and these are the ONLY shoes that don't make her topple over. I'm converted, I've seen the light and never going back. You will love this shop!

Scandeez is offering the winner a pair of Baby Moks in the style and size of their choosing, a $30 value, plus free shipping! Everyone else can receive 15% off any order of $60 dollars or more. Just mention "Or so she says..." in the notes to the seller. You will receive a refund of the discounted amount. This offer expires October 31, 2009.

Plum Tree Studio will melt your heart with their insanely cute appliqued t-shirts and onesies for your little ones! Perfectly designed and made with impeccable care...you will love them! Their shop not only sells t-shirts but also bibs and the cutest button hair bands for your girls. Everything in their shop would be so cute for pictures, everyday wear, or gifts because they are one-of-a-kind!

Plum Tree Studio is offering the winner a free Tee of their choice, up to $24 dollars in value, plus free shipping! Everyone else can receive 10% off their purchase via refund. Just mention "Or so she says..." in the checkout notes. This offer expires November 1st, 2009.

I loved the artist's quote on Create by R.E.T's shop, "I love to honor happy little things by painting them. Optimism and kindness are contagious, and I think it starts by surrounding yourself with things that make you smile." The painted canvas in this shop will totally make you smile...it might just be a simple picture or a simple quote, but it's enough to do the trick! They are a perfect gift or addition to any room that needs a little cheer!

Create by R.E.T. is offering the winner one 8x10 canvas of their choosing from the pictures above, a $28 dollar value, plus free shipping! Everyone else can receive free shipping via refund by mentioning "Or so she says..." in the checkout notes. This offer expires October 31, 2009.

Are these kids for sale too? I'll take one of each! I love how these appliqued shirts are super cute but not overly cutsie for older kids...they've got a little "edge" to them! Regal Cottage Kids has monkeys, guitars, pirates, flowers, vintage items, and all things that capture the interest of your child! And...their shop not only has awesome clothes, but quilts too! Stop by the shop to check out the products and talent from Regal Cottage!

Besides cake, my other weakness is...jewelry. Especially jewelry that reflects nature! I love that The Big Blue Bead works with natural and organic materials like shells, stones, pearls, etc. that celebrate nature and are inevitably unique. In their shop, you will find all sort of jewelry, bookmarks, guitar picks, key rings, and backpack charms. I would also like to give props to this shop for having super prices! You don't have to feel so guilty buying a little somethin, somethin for yourself! AND...perfect gift idea for any woman in your life!

It's no secret that the event banners that you buy at your local party store are seriously ugly. I didn't quite realize HOW ugly they were until I saw how cute they CAN be!
