Thank God for talented friends, aka Life’s Candy giveaway.

Closed.  Congratulations to our winner, Jaime!

As you know, I’ve been sewing up a storm recently in our loft area.  But the real problem was in the living room where my silk pillows have taken quite a toddler + 50-lb dog beating.  & while I’m learning, I’m simply not good enough to trust myself with covering pillows that are seen by company.

So I enlisted Mae’s help.

Mae & I shared a bed & hot dogs in New York City last August.  She’s hilarious & tiny & pretty much down for anything, including opening up her own Etsy shop.  Life’s Candy is where you will find all sorts of wonderful fabric treats fro the home.  Napkins, placemats, pillow covers, cocktail goodies, etc.

I am currently in love with these.  & these, because DUH! birds.

About a month ago, Mae asked if she could help me out with my pillow dilema.  She asked me about my living room colors & I’m all, “I dunno.  Aqua & green?  I think I’d like to pull in some yellow or orange or something.”  & she whipped up these bad boys.

hello, little burst of yellow sunshine!

I’m also partial to the detailing, which is something I would never dream of attempting.

Her pillow covers are envelope-style, lined, & perfectly fit to the measurements you need.  She does good work, that little Mae.

Mae’s going to give one of y’all a $30 store credit to Life’s Candy. That’s enough to snag you some napkins or placemats, or even go towards pillow covers like mine.

Here’s the details:

  • Go to lifescandy.etsy.com & let me know what you’d spend your thirty bones on!
  • If you’re an overachiever, then follow @Lifescandy_shop on Twitter & leave an extra comment letting me know that you’ve done it (with your Twitter handle, please!)
I’ll draw the winner on Sunday, March 13th.  Good luck!
p.s.  Mae’s offered a 15% discount to Heir to Blair homies from today through the end of March with the code BLAIRBEAR15.  thanks, Mae!
