Today's post is
LONG overdue and I am beyond embarrassed! This past summer I was the
INCREDIBLY LUCKY recipient of a number of items that I am going to
FINALLY showcase in this blog post!
The first item, is this adorable purse that was made by Sammy's Aunt! (if you have been living under a rock and don't know
Sammy, he is the adorable ginger kitty of the famous blog,
One Spoiled Cat and you really need to go and visit him!) I was the highest bidder for this item in the auction that was held by
Dachsies with Moxie! How adorable is this purse?
It is the purrfect size for a casual outing
or trip to the store! I love it!
Then, I entered a super cool contest that
Christine Michaels had going on on her blog
Riverfront Cats. (Christine is one of the sweetest and most genuine people that I have had the pleasure of meeting. She devotes her life to
"rescuing stray cats, protecting community cats and embracing black cats", and if you haven't visited her
blog, please do!!) The contest I had entered was the
"Rags to Riches" contest and you will never believe what I won!!
LOOK!!!
How incredibly ADORABLE IS THIS? It is SUPER FUNCTIONAL TOO! It's HUGE! I loved it so much, and it was the PURRFECT size to take when I went to BarkWorld this past August. That was the purse that I used and I adore it!
Also on Christine's
blog I won a
LUGGAGE WEIGHER (which I haven't used yet, but I will)
And....the
GRAND DADDY OF HER GIVE-AWAY....a $100 VOUCHER FOR DELTA AIRLINES!! WOOOO HOOO!!! I am hoping to use that for a trip that I have to take this November.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH CHRISTINE!
But wait! There's MORE!
Oh my cat!! WAIT until you see what I got! Robyn makes the most beautiful pieces and I couldn't make up my mind. I had emailed her telling her I didn't quite know what to do, and she was a complete and total doll!!! I told her my favorite color is GREEN and that my birthstone is an opal, and I asked if she could think of anything, and she MADE ME a custom necklace!!! LOOK AT HOW GORGEOUS THIS IS!!
It arrived beautifully packaged!
I have to show you more photos
so you can appreciate just how gorgeous her work is!
It is so feminine and beautiful! Here is yet another photo!
See how she combined the green stones with opalescent stones? It is simply STUNNING! (Just like CK!). That was the necklace I brought with me to BarkWorld and I wore it every day. I just ADORE IT!
Robyn is a true professional and super easy to work with. I couldn't have designed a better piece myself. She TRULY understood EXACTLY what it was that I was looking for!
If you haven't visited Robyn's sites, I STRONGLY encourage you to do so, her work is amazing! Here are all the ways that you can visit her!

A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERY ONE and I am sooo sorry it
took me so long to finally blog about all of these wonderful items!!
LOVE TO YOU ALL!
