Please welcome my newest sponsor… Warm Sugar.

Warm Sugar may look familiar to some of you as it was formerly known as Project Grab Bag, but with a new shop name and focus, the creative genius behind it, Shannon, is dreaming up more fun new dolls. Her former shop was one of the first places that I came across on etsy a few years ago and absolutely loved everything she created and still do! In fact, I have a doll for myself sitting in my studio. That’s right. For me! The girls have their own and they are getting another for their love day gifts as every time they see her shop, they keep asking for another doll. A girl can never have too many dolls!

In her lovely shop, she has all kinds of dolls, some perfect for little babies like my Soul and a plethora of other choices for boys and girls. Shannon also loves creating custom dolls, so you can pick colorings and help customize your doll for your little one (or yourself!). Each doll is unique and made of her own design, also comes numbered with its own name.

I am so excited because for Cakies readers Shannon is giving away the black haired Posy doll pictured below. What a treat! Those overseas are welcomed to join. All you need to do is leave a comment with the following information:

1. Your favorite Warm Sugar doll.

2. What you want for Valentine’s Day.

Lisa Leonard Designs is “handmade jewelry that is meaningful, unique and perfect for everyday. Each piece is hand-cut, hammered, antiqued and polished sterling silver.” Timeless simplicity is another way to describe the beauty in Lisa’s designs. You can choose from an assortment of “custom necklaces” to suit your heart’s desire or from the “inspired designs“, which are just as beautiful. Don’t forget Christmas is around the corner, so you can even send a link to those who need hints of what you want (*wink*). Also, check out Lisa’s blog and you will see how inspiring Lisa is as a mother and artist, which makes sense why her pieces are just inspiring as well.

For Cakies readers, Lisa Leonard Designs is giving away 2-$50 gift certificates to 2 lucky readers. Can it get any more wonderful than that?!! Now you can snag a gift for yourself, cause you know we always like to treat ourselves once in awhile, or snag up something for someone else. All you need to do is leave a comment with the following information:

1. Your favorite Lisa Leonard piece.

2. Your favorite color (random, I know, but I just realized that I don’t really have one).

Sonny Boutique is “inspired by old world charm and modern practicality.” It is a quaint online shop opened by Rene Sbrocco as she offers a variety of simple, but unique items for babies, children, and even moms. What caught my eye and immediately peeked my interest was the little section of vintage treasures. I love vintage finds for children and this little shop has a nice little collection, but the whole shop is just lovely. I suggest you take a stroll through the shop as I am sure you will find something there you absolutely love and must have!

Cakies readers will also receive 20% off your order, just use coupon code sonny20. Remember, Christmas is just around the corner, so don’t want until last minute to snatch up some gifts and Sonny Boutique has many good choices!

Resa Design “products are perfect for parents who want more out of their baby gear and clothes. Modern styles, in cool and stylish fabrics for the gear you use the most.” I think if you are looking for that perfect birthday tee or for your child to be able to wear “their special letter” then Resa Design has exactly what you are looking for. 

A few months ago, a friend of mine was looking for the perfect birthday tee, but just couldn’t find anyone with a selection of fabric that she liked, but that was until I introduced her to Resa Design. She was suddenly flooded with a ton of options that she loved. After choosing a tee and fabric choice, then she had me create a custom alphabet crown to match the tee all in preparation to celebrate her son’s birthday. She was so happy with the outcome of both the tee and crown! I was glad that I was able to share with her Resa Design. 

For Cakies readers, Resa Design is giving away one alphabet tee in white in the size and color of your choice! In addition to the giveaway, Resa Design is offering Cakies readers 20% off orders using coupon code CAKIES20 (expires 10/31/09). Oh! And just for fun, should you win and have a little girl, I will be glad to make a custom alphabet hair clip to match the tee and send it along your way…

To enter in the giveaway, comment with the following information:

1. Your favorite fabric option should you win the alphabet tee. 

2. Something you want for Christmas (just trying to keep it fun, not that it isn’t already!). 

The giveaway will end at 8am PST on Wednesday, October 28th and don’t forget to come back Thursday to this particular post as this is where the winner will be announced. Good luck!!! Thank you so much Resa Design!!!

Misha Lulu is a family owned and operated fashion brand founded by Karen and Joe Salazar. Their darling Bela is the biggest inspiration behind all they do. This fashion forward, hip clothing line is full of whimsical detail and funk in every piece. Karen, the mastermind behind it all, really goes to great lengths to ensure the quality and uniqueness of every item.

This little brand is truly so special as it is a family effort and everyone takes part in a little creating. Karen’s mother, Grandma Blanquita, hand paints vintage inspired images on the aprons, and Joe’s mother, Grandma Chol, crochets all the fun hats. Even little Bela has a say in the type of clothing she wants to see in Misha Lulu each season! Also, I have the privilege of knowing Karen personally and I can attest to how much love and attention she dedicates to her creativity and building a line that is so much full of love and personality.

For Cakies readers, Misha Lulu is doing a fantastic giveaway. I will be picking two winners, that’s right… two!!! One winner will receive the Misha Lulu bow dress (any size from 3 months- 8yrs.) and a Grandma Chol crocheted hat and the other winner will receive 2 boy Misha Lulu tees (any size from 2T-8). Examples of what will be given can be seen in the pictures above.

All you need to do is a leave a comment with the following information:

1. If you are entering to win an item for a boy or girl (or could be both).

2. Your favorite post from the Misha Lulu blog. Karen always finds the greatest shops, artists, and designers, so I am sure you will learn something new as I always do!

The giveaway will end at 8am PST on Wednesday, October 21st and the winner will be announced on this post on Thursday. Good luck!!! Thanks so much Misha Lulu!!!
