Happy October, Everyone! Jessica rounded up 10 amazing shops for you…which means…10 winners! All you have to do to enter is leave a comment! Of course, we always let you earn a couple bonus entries…
Entry #1 – Leave a comment
Entry #2 – Become a follower or subscriber (both links on the right side of this blog). If you’re already a subscriber/follower…that counts.
Entry #3 – Spread the love by Tweeting, Facebooking or Blogging about this blog or this giveaway.
It’s your choice whether you just have one or three entries! Just let me know in the comments which entries you completed. You can not earn more than these 3 specific entries. The giveaway ends this coming Saturday (October 24th) at midnight…or before I wake up on Sunday! The winners will be announced on Sunday. Each winner will win a prize from ONE shop…not all of them.
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.

Elephannie is a favorite among Etsy buyers! The offer hundreds of decals to add a little spice to your rooms: flowers, birds, animals, monograms, foliage, holiday designs, children’s designs, you name it! My personal faves are the decals above beds…I love the empty frames and the decals above cribs, too cute! Don’t see what you are looking for? They take custom orders and can totally create what you need!

Elephannie is offering the winner $40 dollars of in-store credit! Everyone else can receive 15% off by mentioning “OSSS” in the checkout notes. Discount amount will be refunded to you. This offer expires October 31, 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 8×10 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!

Regal Cottage is offering the winner $25 dollars of in-store credit plus free shipping! Everyone else can receive 15% off via refund by mentioning “Or so she says…” in the checkout notes. This offer expires October 31, 2009.

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!

The Big Blue Bead is offering the winner $25 dollars of in-store credit! Everyone else can receive 15% off via refund by mentioning “OSSS” in the checkout notes. This offer expires October 31, 2009.

What?? Aphrodisiac for women?? Um, I’ll take 50 bottles, please. Amber Essences is such a neat shop! All the products are made by a certified Aromatherapist with your needs in mind! Therapeutic grade essential oils from plants are blended perfectly to aid in weight loss, improve your love life, improve circulation, ease headaches, calm nerves, etc. I could use a bottle for every one of those! I love the idea of natural treatments for healing and everything in this shop is super affordable!

Amber Essences is offering the winner a “Weekend Romance” package that includes a 2 oz. bottle of the Bo-Disiac aphrodisiac blend to set “the mood”, and a 2 oz. bottle of both the male and female aphrodisiacs for massages, and a burner with 2 unscented tea lights! This package values at $35 and includes free shipping! Everyone else can receive a free 1 oz. bottle of any blend with the purchase of another bottle. Just mention “Or so she says…” in the checkout notes along with the free blend you would like.

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! AE Scrapbooking has got party decorations down to a science! Whether your having a birthday, a wedding, a graduation, any kind of party…they’ve got you covered. They offer banners, cupcake toppers, door hangers, tags, etc. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, just let them know! Custom orders are always welcome!

AE Scrapbooking is offering the winner $20 dollars of in-store credit! Everyone else can receive 20% off via refund by mentioning “Or so she says…” in the checkout notes. This offer is good until November 30, 2009

    I’m so happy that I saw a friend’s post about you on Facebook today. I’ve got a fractured tibia and am not supposed to put any weight on my left leg, so I’ve been pretty much confined to home. Finding your site and going through all the shops was as good a shopping expedition as I’ve enjoyed in a long time. Thank you. Good job!
