Source: Megan's Facebook Page As a lot of you know, I am a member of an AWESOME community called Social Fabric ® . We are a community of bloggers from all over the world that make up just part of Collective Bias ® . I have been a member for a few days past 1 year. I have meet a lot of awesome people and have made some AMAZING friends in that time. This year, instead of a gift exchange , a few of us decided to do a blog exch ange and introduce our readers to one of our members.  We filled out a little form and a few days later we were sent an email with the name of the pe rson we had been assigned to, we did not get to pick. I literally shrieked with joy when I read the name Megan Dunham. Megan has been a member of Social Fa bric for nearly 11 months . I have worked beside her has a blogger on a few campaigns and this summer had the pleas ure of be ing Campaign Lead and working with her in that aspect for the first time. Let me stop right and let you know, she is an AMA...

 It is rare that a new store opens in this town. I was SO excited when I heard my friend, Phyllis, was FINALLY going to open her store! You see, it has been her dream for 20+ years to have her own store.  But, you know how it goes sometimes, life just gets busy.  A few days ago I took a break and went to visit Phyllis at her store. Let me just say.....OH. MY. GOSH! I was SHOCKED at her selection! I mean, I heard it was awesome but seriously?  I could have bought just about everything in that store! She offers both new, and tenderly loved, items. She has Purses, Shoes, Necklaces, Clothes, Wraps, Scarves, Hats, Home Decor, Furniture....seriously the list goes on and on. Do you like the display table? It is more than likely for sale as well. If you find something, you better grab it then and not wait! I guarantee it will be gone the next time you are in. But don't worry, Phyllis adds new stock EVERY DAY! She also offers a 30 day layaway program. So, why Zoe...

So...tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day .  This "holiday" is celebrated in so many different ways for so many different reasons. I have always celebrated by wearing green.  Don't want to get pinched, you know. I thought it would be fun to feature some ideas on ways you can celebrate St. Patrick's day with your family.  Since St. Patrick's Day is TOMORROW these are all super easy and quick. First up we have this AWESOME Subway Art from eighteen25 !  They have such CUTE things on their blog, check them out! Next is this YUMMY looking Popcorn from Skip to my Lou , it reminds me of the popcorn balls my Granny used to make. Keeping inline with food...check out these Green Crepes from Armelle - The Blog .  Mmmmm..I LOVE crepes! Rounding out my FF is this CUTE Rainbow Print from Funky Polkadot Giraffe. I would love to hear how you celebrate St. Patrick's Day! 

Amy Ellis is amazing! Her store AE Baby was my very first Etsy crush. Yep.  It was love at first site! She was known all over Etsy for her amazing I Spy Bags .  Totally cool!  But for me, it was her pretend play Sugar Cookie Set that made my heart swoon. {Source AE Baby} Seriously what little girl would not LOVE to play with this set?  Adorable right? A few weeks ago I got word that AE Baby would be closing it's doors.  This made me SO sad!  But, not to fear!  You can still find Amy's creations on Pattern Play !  YAY! She has some of THE BEST patterns around!  What makes them so wonderful?  They are clear and easy to follow. I just ordered the pattern for these   boxes... {Source Pattern Play } I am still trying to find just the right thing to get my pantry organized and I think these will be great!  I also need extra storage in my closet and these totes are the perfect solution! I also wanted to show you this ... ...
