Sarah Swanson Design Giveaway!

Have you ever thought of hiring an interior designer but decided you couldn't afford it? You might remember Sarah Swanson Design from this post and I'm thrilled to announce that she's offering a giveaway of her design services to one lucky reader — a $150 value! Here are some sample boards she's whipped up...
I'm sure lots of you have an interior design project in mind that could use the help of a professional! I love the above board she did using the monkey candlestick and Worcester jar matchboxes from my boutique. 
Think you might like to work with Sarah on a project for your place? All you have to do is become a follower of Design Darling at right and leave a comment below explaining what you'd like her help on. The winner will be selected at random on Friday morning. Good luck!

Bangles + Monogrammed Tray

I thought we'd cap off the week with an extra pretty picture I styled of a customer's monogrammed acrylic tray and a few of the new bangles added to the site this week...
Every girl needs this little vignette in her life! I hope you all have lots of fun plans for the weekend... I'm off to a Matchbook shoot, a friend's birthday party, my sister's softball games, all over the place! Have a good one!
