And don't forget to subscribe to and/or follow The Little Things blog so you can keep updated on new items and future giveaways and contests (since I can't do it on facebook anymore....ggrrrhhh).

BOYS!

Due to overwhelming demand....haha! I love saying that...as if I'm so overwhelmed by all the demand for my stuff. I surely wish!

How about this.....due to the repeated suggestions....better?  I think so too.

Due to the repeated suggestions from potential customers, I am trying to incorporate more boy stuffs into my repertoire of adorable goods at The Little Things. Therefore I have ventured into formerly uncharted territory....TIES!

So far I've just made the 2 ties, but I just absolutely LOVE them! I'm almost tempted to say that they have been the cutest items I've made thus far....almost!

But here they are.....due to popular demand or repeated suggestions....either way, they're pretty darn cute!

The Dino Tie  

adorable dinosaur print baby boy tie

will fit 14" neck

 

Thomas Tie

charming little boy's tie

will fit 13-15" neck

Both ties are available for sale at my Etsy store at www.etsy.com/shop/thelittlethings2011.

Thanks for looking! :)

Giveaway....Here...Now...Today...

So here it is! My first official rafflecopter giveaway. We will see how this goes :) 

And here is (again) the hat I specially created for this giveaway.

This cute little cotton reversible bonnet has a teal print on one side and a teal, pink, bright green and white plaid on the other.  The bonnet comes with a detachable spring-green flower made from an up-cycled (and unworn) t-shirt with a large bright pink button at its center. It will fit a toddler thru small adult (it fits my little bean anyway).


The bonnet is reversible, so it will coordinate with much of the many, many outfits that the little lady chooses to wear on any given day. Wear it to the beach, in the yard, to the park, in the sandbox, or to any of the many, many events that the little lady chooses to attend on any given day. 

It is created from 100% cotton material, with cotton/acrylic blend thread, using an "old" 2001 Kenmore sewing machine. 

To enter, all you have to do is use the form below! 

The entry form will be available from Monday, May 21 thru Friday, May 25. You have the option of submitting up to 10 entries, but only one is required. You may come back daily to enter, but can only complete the form once per day. **In all fairness to all my fans and followers, if you have won an item from The Little Things in April or May, please limit your entry to one day for this giveaway.

The winner will be chosen through Random.org and will be notified by May 31st, if not sooner. Thanks for entering! 

And as always, you can find bonnets like the one above, not to mention a lot of other adorable items, at The Little Things facebook page at www.facebook.com/thelittlethings2011, or on Etsy at www.etsy/shop/thelittlethings2011.

This is a cute little cotton reversible bonnet with a teal print on one side and a teal, pink, bright green and white plaid on the other.  The bonnet comes with a detachable spring green flower made from an up-cycled (and unworn) t-shirt with a large bright pink button at its center.

**In all fairness to all my fans and followers, if you have won an item from the Little Things in April or May, please limit your entry to one day for this contest. Thank you.

And the winner is.....

Can you believe that I only paid $17 for all of this stuff?  Seriously!  I can hardly believe it myself. However, when we had it in our vehicle, it seemed like so much more....not sure why.  But it's still a lot of stuff for just $17.

Unfortunately, there weren't any correct guesses to win the cute little purple bonnet. I did get one that was close at $16.75, but the contest was for an exact guess. So.....maybe my next contest she'll get it :)

Speaking of next contest....the entry form is coming up on Monday, and as promised I got the hat done beforehand. It will be posted sometime today....very shortly as a matter of fact.  So watch for it! 

What did we spend?

If you can guess the EXACT amount of what we spent at garage/rummage sales today, I will giveaway a lined sunbonnet to the person who guesses the correct amount. First EXACT guess gets the hat. This is the hat you could win

 

Items include: perfectly good office chair on wheels, carseat, Barbie kitchen toy, Leapfrog fridge magnetic animal sounds set (for a certain 1 yr old), box of about 500 baseball/football cards (some 15+ yrs old), 7 vhs movies (mostly sports), 4 books (again, mostly sports), Notre Dame football calendar (again, for the sports fanatic in the house), sparkly socks (to make leggings out of), a sparkly crown (for a particular 3 yr old princess), 2 pots of 2 geraniums each, and 2 pairs of women's bluejeans (1 pr Kali, 1 pr Gap)....oh, and LA Dodgers cap.

 I should note, contest will only be go thru today...end at 11:59pm tonight, Friday, May 18. Also, just one guess per person, and I will check answers Saturday morning and let you know who the winner is.

 Post your guesses under the facebook link.

Upcoming Giveaway!

Hey! Summer's just about here. With the weather we've been having since January, I thought it was here a few months ago. You've just gotta love this MN weather....it's crazy and unpredictable!

That being said, I've decided that one of your little ones will want a much-needed sun bonnet to protect her little face from the summer sun. Sooooo...

I will be posting info about a giveaway that will be running from Monday, May 21 thru Friday, May 25 for you to WIN one of my new, OOAK, handmade, fun, floppy, cotton, reversible sun bonnets. Normally, I would just line each bonnet with a white or off-white muslin, but thought it would be fun to mix it up a little bit and do a reversible one.  There will, of course, also be a fun contrasting/coordinating flower attached to it!  It's not really summer without the flowers.

Keep an eye on facebook--both my personal page and my fan page--for the notice of the beginning of the contest, which will take you back to my blog, giving you instructions on how to enter. You will have the option to submit up to 10 entries, but only one is required to enter.

Here are a couple bonnets I've already made, to give you an idea of what you are entering to win. **These are NOT the bonnets you will win. It will be a brand-new, never-before-worn, freshly-made, OOAK, reversible sun bonnet...it has not yet been created, but as soon as it is, I will post it. So watch for it!
