Victorian Station Review

Victorian Station is an Etsy store I came across when looking for items to review for my daughter Teela's 2nd birthday party. This wonderful shop has lovely things that center around vintage, Victorian, shabby chic, French, and cottage style. They have homemade albums, magnets, journals, notebooks, gift tags, cards, vintage photos, shadow boxes, burlap and collage art, purses and handbags, sachets and pillows.

I received a free set of 3 heart shape sachets filled with 1 cup of lavender buds from France and a touch of flax seed to review for the Princess Tea Party Birthday Blog Carnival that I hosted for my daughter, Teela, on my blog in April. The flannel material has cupcakes, strawberries and flowers on it and I love the fabric. They were great substitutes for bean bags to play games with at the party. They were all tied up with pretty pink satin ribbon when they arrived and smelled absolutely divine! These are perfect size for Teela to hold and she also loved how they smelled. They will go nicely anywhere there needs to be the soothing and relaxing fragrance of lavender. I think we might tuck ours in a: pillow case with a pillow at night, chest full of linens, and room that needs refreshing. I also love the Cupcake bag with vintage pompoms that matches the sachets that I received from her shop.

DISCLAIMER: Thanks to Victorian Station for participating in the the Princess Tea Party Birthday Blog Carnival on my blog and for providing me with the 3 heart shape sachets for free to test and review. My thoughts are mine and my family's own opinion and have not been altered by anyone else. I did not receive any other compensation for doing this review.

Creative Clips by Colleen Review and Giveaway

Creative Clips by Colleen does a fantastic job at making very adorable clips. They feature a strip of Velcro to prevent the clip from slipping in fine hair.

I received a Cupcake on Medium Pink clip for my daughters to wear. It is very well made and held my daughter, Teela's, bangs out of her eyes. Teela really needed something that she wouldn't mess with. To often I find the hairbands I have put on her get pulled down or off. She really didn't touch this little clip which is a big plus!

Creative Clips by Colleen makes other very cute designs too. I love the Light Blue Butterfly on Stripe, Pink Butterfly on Green & Pink Stripe, Small Pink Heart on Pink & White, Hot Pink Flower on Satin, Sheer Pink Flower on Argyle, Coral Flower, Rose Flower, Yellow Flower, Lavender Flower on Light Purple, Mauve Pearl Medallion on Light Pink, and all the crown clips. Besides clips they have headbands and a clip rack for sale on their website. The clips are a little pricey at $8-$10, but these are handmade so don't be gawking at the price!!

Thanks to ChicExecs, a company which was created to promote small business campaigns, I was able to let you know about this product.
