Winner, winner, tofu dinner!
Congratulations, Lei! And thanks to everyone who participated. If you didn’t win this time, I’d love for you to come back again for my next giveaway. I’m thinking Halloween costumes/Mad Men…I have some tricks up my sleeve.
Have a wonderful night!

Do you know Teaka?
If you don’t know her yet, you should certainly head over to her blog and take a peek around because she and I have a few things in common. She’s gearing up right now to open an Etsy shop for her beautifully designed clothing line {check out part 1 here, and part 2 here}, and to lead up to it she’s interviewing selected Etsy sellers on her blog. This week she interviewed me! Don’t miss out on reading : )
I’m so excited to see her shop!

Something to peruse while you sip your morning coffee:
I’ve added ads to the side of my blog! So far there are only three of my favourite bloggers and/or shop owners, but I have others lined up to participate, too! Keep an eye on this side bar and hop on over to their pages to find out why I like them so much! If you’re interested in sponsoring me, you can email me at hello.juliastrawberry@gmail.com for rates! I’d be so happy to hear from you and glad to make you a part of the support team.
Also, I created the image above for my best friend – a fellow coffee lover – for Christmas, but just found it again on my desktop {my desktop is messy…} and figured I might as well share. Click it to make it large, then drag it to your desktop if you think you might like to print it out or something!
Hope your Tuesday is fantastic!

Blog, sweet, blog! How I’ve missed you!
We’ve been out of State for Christmas, so it’s been awhile since I’ve written. I can assure you, I enjoyed our much needed break from the real world, but now I’m very happy to be diving back into my routine. Tomorrow I’ll be sharing some of the gifts that we made or tracked down for others for our vintage / handmade Christmas, and soon after that I’ll be showing you all of the things that Ryan and I gave to each other {there’s some really great stuff}!
But first, I wrote a guest post for Ally’s blog Fever Thrift! She’s such a fun blogger to follow as her sarcasm and wit often make me giggle out loud, so writing for her blog was a big honor. Check out the post to see my favourite thrifted home decor and don’t forget to leave a comment or follow Ally if you like her blog!
See you tomorrow!

Check out my post on the Goodwill Industries International blog!
Goodwill International asked me to write a blog post for them about hosting a fall themed dinner party with nearly everything thrifted from their Goodwill stores. It was such a dream come true! My two favourite things are thrifting + blogging, so to do that for a company so wonderful as Goodwill was ideal.
Have a look at the post to see what I came up with! I have photos of the first installment of Harvestfest that Ryan + I hosted, as well as more information on the DIY tutorial above! You can also find out how to make your own fall themed bunting. It’ll be perfect for any dinner party that you’ll be hosting soon, especially Thanksgiving!
If you found my blog through my Goodwill International post, then welcome! I’m so happy to have you here. If you like what you see, please don’t hesitate to subscribe! We’ll have so much fun together 
Enjoy your Sunday, friends!

I mentioned quite some time ago, that my friend Erin opened her own Etsy shop, but I don’t believe I ever went into any details about it.
♥
But, a few weeks ago, she oh-so-generously mailed me a big box of fabrics that she wasn’t going to use! I simply had to say something more about her truly friendly threads in response. I’ve already listed an apron that was in the box, and used some of the gold fabric above to make this heart pillow!
I really still can’t believe how generous this was of her. Please make sure you check out her shop and her blog. She’s a real sewing wizard, and deserves some faithful followers. Feel free to tell her I sent you!
Oh, also! She does tutorials on her blog for beginning sewers. So helpful.
She really is a wealth of knowledge.
xx. Julia
