GIVEAWAY: Handmade Mittens [made from vintage sweaters]

Hello! 

 This Thing We Do is offering a lucky reader one pair of their mittens!

Can I just tell you I am really excited to announce this giveaway? I got these mittens this past weekend and I have worn them every day without fail. My sister may have even tried to steal them...luckily she was unsuccessful. 

A bit about

 This Thing We Do ...

We are a mom & three daughters who spend our free time making crafts. Our Grandma taught us to quilt, craft, sew, bake, garden, & how to feed cows. Now we spend our free time sewing...mittens are our latest hobby.

Hope you like our mittens!

Fall "Goals" & Giveaway winner!!

This fall, I am making it my goal to compile these outfits, for CHEAP. I'm talking goodwill/hand-me-down/dumpster-diving cheap. Okay, maybe scratch the dumpster diving....maybe. I think one pair of brown boots would work with each of these ensembles....so it's mainly the accessories, tops & bag(s) I'll be searching for. I'll keep you updated as I go, & let you know where I can find the best deals...because I know you ALL want to flaunt these looks too! 

Want to join me?

Whether you already have these looks in your closet, or are joining me to search for them starting tonight, make sure to send me updates on what you find! 

I'll try my best to tweet each piece as I find them including price & location--you do the same!

Sorry for the delay on stalking stranger posts! But here it is, and aren't you glad you waited?! No? You think I should stop making excuses & just post already? Okay...fine. 

I snagged both of these girls after my spanish class & they were total troopers about letting me take photos of them in front of tons of people....as it was passing period. PLUS they looked adorable while doing so! 

First outfit: I love black & brown together. I also love floral. Hannah threw together these two loves perfectly. The skinny belt around the cardigan only flatters her more in showing how teeny tiny she is!

Second outfit: I love the simplicity of this outfit. Those shoes are crazy cute & paired with skinny jeans & a slightly cropped top---so so right. I also loved her necklace, super simple, but still noticeable--don't get your hopes up though, she got it in hawaii.

Do you like spain?! I like spain.

Alright you lovely readers! I need your help. 

Sorry to kind of spam you, but this is basically life or death.

Not really, but it is for my husband who takes all those awesome photos you guys get to look at 

whenever you dang well please. 

So....here's the deal! My husband [johnny] is in a video competition for our school.

It is about his experience studying abroad.

And, it rocks. [Yeah, I'm biased. Yeah, I would have to say that even if it didn't rock, so what?]

So here's what you can do:

1. Watch the video

2. Like the video

3. Comment on the video

[All you need to comment is a gmail account---so NO more excuses my gfc followers!]

AND if you're feeling extra zesty like I know you readers are--feel free to share it with your friends!

The weekend is less than 24 hours away, and that, my friends, makes me happy. This weekend, top priority is trying out the apple cake recipe my mom sent me, WITH apple glaze....now if that's not first priority, what is?! Most likely before we gorge ourselves with apple goodness, we will go on a nice fall hike, because sadly, speaking from experience...the snow is probably on it's way to Provo & it is more than likely coming at us with a vengeance...ugh.

Ande Mönster GIVEAWAY! $25 in-store credit!

Some seriously rockin' pieces...

And that's only a few of your options! Ande Mönster offers a wide array of clothing, I went with this crocheted, cream, 

vintage, pencil skirt...and I haven't regretted it. Not even for one moment. 

A little bit about Ande Mönster

Ande Mönster, meaning Spirit Designs in Swedish, is about supplying you with one-of-a-kind vintage kind pieces. I started Ande Monster a little over one year ago because I needed a creative outlet. I love to shop for vintage clothing and often find adorable items but my closet was overflowing and I knew I needed to share my love. The photography and item descriptions aid in the creative outlet and shipping vintage items across the world helps me have a little more closet space. Owning a vintage shop just makes sense for a vintage lover like myself. 

Shirt: Thrifted // Skirt: c/o Ande Mönster // Shoes: Tj Maxx
