Miss You

We move to a new city every summer & since the move is only temporary, we don't have room to take to many friendly reminders from home with us. I was really missing, not just my house but all the things in it the other day. Then I got these "Home" blocks from Nestlings, in the the mail. I immediately stood them up on the mantel and they quickly turned our dull apartment into a lovely home. Not just because of the cool letters that actually spell out the word HOME but that of course is a good reminder as well:)

Hip to be square

Curves bore me. They are so, wishy washy. Plus in school of rock they always said it's hip to be a square, so that makes this flashy purse HIP! I can't stop staring at my Independent Reign purse. Yes, I stare at myself in the mirror. Maybe one day I can take it out on the town (not until my kids are grown up and moved out).

The Bridge Bag - Black on Black is so sleek and stylish with lines, and even a magnetic button closure. The handle is double reinforced so we ladies don't need to worry about spilling our lives on the street if the handle broke.

The 14" long 6" tall purse has plenty of room to hold all the essentials. Plus these are hand made, so we don't have to worry about another woman with the same purse at the next party we show up at.

Yes! We have a Black Bridge Bag to GIVEAWAY!

It's time

It's about time, you make the best of your time. I often watch the clock like a hawk to make sure I'm not going to be late for anything (I tend to have panic attacks if I am running late somewhere). But my eyes can get pretty darn bored watching the minute hand tick the minutes away.

If I had something appealing to look at, it might make those minutes fly by. Kinda like a party for my eyes. These clocks sure have that aesthetic appeal to make me want to RSVP to their party.

Talk about a blast from the past with a modern twist, these pieces of art are truly a one of a kind, they will have the neighbors green in the face with envy. When I have some more cash in my pocket, I'm sure to fill my house with Pilot Design pieces.

A vintage somethin'

"Uh no, course these aren't "new" honey." That's what I tell me husband whenever I wear something new from New Fashioned Whispers.

I'm not suggesting you lie to your husband but if you're looking for some choice ear candy you'll find plenty of classics HERE!

Survival Card, don't leave home without it.

If I was ever lost, one person that I would want with me, would be my Dad. Maybe it's because he's my dad but to me, he's like Macgyver. He seriously can get out of any sticky situation! But if I couldn't have him, I'd definitely hope that I had my card... Not my Visa but my Survival Card or any of the handy gadgets for that matter from Tool Logic. The Survival card is about the size of a credit card & is loaded with all kinds of lifesavers. A blade, tweezers, fire starter, signal whistle, flashlight & a compass, to name a few. The only thing this card won't do, is get you into debt;) Father's Day is just around the corner, give a gift that could save your life...

We have a TracLite to GIVEAWAY!

Oh my gosh ALL my pictures are GONE

Yes, unfortunately I once made the mistake of not backing up my pictures on my computer and with one little hard drive crash, a years worth of memories were deleted. While I was lucky and was able to recover most of them, I'm a little better about backing my picture files up now. Especially since it's so easy with my new Picture Keeper. Just simply plug into any USB port, click to start the back up process & Picture Keeper will search for & most importantly, SAVES all your photos. It's a user friendly gadget and you can use it on multiple PCs. I hope your photos are never lost but lets not take any chances... get the Picture Keeper!

Paper, everywhere I turn, paper.

My boys love to draw and color. And I love it when they draw pictures for me but I can only handle so many loose sheets of paper piling up! I'm diggin these Kid Journals from Nico Papergoods. Covered in fun trendy fabrics, there's 180 sides of plain paper for your kids to go to town doodling. Compact enough to fit in any bag & perfect to travel with. I had to take my son to the doctor today & instead of letting him play with the germ covered toys, I just pulled out his new journal & he entertained himself. The perfect gift for all creative little minds.

We have a journal to GIVEAWAY (see pic)!!

I made the mistake once...

When I was dating my husband I once told him I would way rather have him spend money on a gift that I really wanted, rather than spend money on a bouquet of flowers that wasn't going to last. Why such words came out of my mouth, I have not a clue. I absolutely LOVE waking up in the morning and seeing fresh flowers on my kitchen table, but of course I have to buy them myself because I opened my big mouth one time... So honey, here's a hint. When you see these clever cards from California Cut Flower Commission laying around & even hidden in your sock drawer, it means I TAKE BACK THOSE CRAZY WORDS I SPOKE ALMOST 10 YEARS AGO & they really are HINTS I want you to buy me flowers! PS. I really love California Grown flowers:)
Guess what!? We have 25 sets of these cards to GIVEAWAY!!! So, here's the low down... the first 25 people to make on comment on this post will win!

PLUS! Take this online survey HERE & be enter to win a grand prize of one free California-grown bouquet every month for one year!

This isn't for prom

I tried to save the few corsages I've received over the years but not sure why I did... They're all just a pile of dried flower pieces now. AAlicia Accessories makes corsages that will last. Only these are far more lovely and not for your wrist but to decorate your cushions. These corsages will last much longer & totally reuse able. Just simply pin and unpin! Plus I love how you can make any old boring pillow, brighten a room! Shop now and save 10% off, just simply email AAlicia Accessories and tell them you heard about them on Simple Finds!

Alright mate? Have we got a beauty for you today!

Bits and Badges have created something truly special with their fun and hip collection of LEGO cuff links and earnings. I remember as a kid, my brother and I would spend hours upon hours building flying ships and gas stations with our Lego set.

As I cross days off of my calendar of life, I must put such childish things away, (Which reminds me of all my favorite hot wheel cars, link-n-logs, and barb........ uh I mean JI-Joes!) But now I don't have to hide my inner child, cause I can still play with Lego's on my wrist, and for you ladies, your ears.

Ian, from Bits and Badges, who is from my home away from home, England, has stellar jewelry. Plus you even get a rad Lego box. Does life get much better than that.... I think not!

GIVEAWAY!!!!!
Bits and Badges is going to give away one set of the Lego brick cuff links and the Lego gift box.

Sometimes you just have to tell that special someone something, but you just can’t bring yourself to say it? We have a great way to do it. Fancy Fortune Cookies has the perfect messenger. Say it in a cookie. This is definitely a unique product we bring you. Not only will it deliver the perfect message, but it will add a little something with it too. For example: there are times when there is that special girl or guy to whom you want to get across a super special message. Think of their surprise when they open their gift to find a giant fortune cookie! Then when they crack it open, they find their message… “I want to break up with you.” They have the delicious cookie to console them afterwards so you don’t have to. Don’t worry, there are many other uses for these cookies too, such as baby announcements or just saying you care. No matter what you want to say, send it in a cookie.

Since Father Day is right around the corner we have a Father's Day Fortune Cookie to GIVEAWAY!
To Enter Tell Us Your Favorite Cookie Design!
