For the last few days of March, we decided to offer a little promotional deal. Spend $30 in our Etsy shop, Antiquity, and receive a free pack of Sadie Olive original postcards. You can choose which set of postcards you receive by viewing our collection here: postcards. Offer valid only in our Etsy shop through March 31st. $30 minimum purchase excludes shipping charges.   No coupon code required, just mention your choice of postcards at checkout.

You’ll see many of my favorites in my Etsy shop used as props, and often times my seasonal towels will be on display throughout the kitchen. I’m sure it’s probably silly that they don’t ever get used, but my theory is that I’ll enjoy them for so much longer if they actually stay clean. Of course accidents happen, and quite a few have ended up in the functional pile, usually the result of an occasional slip by Josh. :o) I just use it as an excuse to buy another.

The linens in these photos are all hand-made, fine weave, organic hemp and cotton blend oversized towels. They are new to the shop, and part of our imported organic linen line. Each is made from the finest vintage, hand-processed, hand-spun, organic hemp and cotton that are hand woven the old fashioned way on authentic hand looms. They are machine-washable, and get even more absorbent with each wash. They are intended as bath towels, but they are still wonderful in the kitchen, as European bath towels are much smaller than American versions. Yikes!

I can hardly believe it, but this month marks four wonderful years since I started my little online venture. It has been beyond rewarding to be able to do what I love for a living (shopping and being creative) all while staying in my pajamas. It’s been a dream come true.

To celebrate I’ve marked down more than half of the inventory in our Etsy shop, 15%

The prices will remain discounted through the end of February, no coupon code is necessary. It’s just our way of saying thank you to all of you who’ve made it possible for me to continue to do what I love. Thank you!

I managed to load a few new offerings in the Etsy shop tonight. Here’s a sneak peek to help you decide if you want to head over:

That’s about all the news I have for today. I need to go feed myself something as somehow I’ve managed to only have a snack size bag of cookies and a bowl of banana nut Cherrios and it’s 6:00pm. Good thing Josh will be home in a bit or I might go hungry!

I did a small guest post on the Where Women Create blog today. Head on over for a peak and a chance to win a French country tablecloth by Comptoir de Famille.

We’re also having a sale in all three of our shops for Black Friday. 15% off everything, even our sale items! (Sale does exclude design work). View the mailer here: details.

We’ve been adding dozens of items to the Etsy shop over the last few days, and we’re still not finished! Plus, we’ve marked over 100 items on sale. From now until Sunday November 7th, all items in the sale section are marked 20% off. And on top of that, all prints and notecards listed in our other shop Warm Whispers are also on sale. We hope a sale was just what you needed to get started on that holiday shopping. Enjoy!

Here’s what I’ve been up to:

Prepping for baby… I’ve been buying toys, clothes, and gear and decorating like crazy! I am planning a post very soon to share some photos of my baby loot. (Which is so much fun to buy!)

Adding products to the shop… I’ve been scouring the estate sales and hand picking treasures for my Etsy shop (which I now call “Antiquity“, but it’s still under my “sadieolive” Etsy user name.) I’ve been at it for just over a year now, and can’t believe how well received we’ve been on Etsy. It’s such a great place to shop and sell. I find myself spending as much as I make some days!

My main shop Sadieolive.com is also still around, and I’ve marked a ton of inventory on sale for the holidays. Have a look in the shop if you are one of those early holiday shoppers looking to check some gifts off your list!

Design work… I’ve been working away on my scheduled projects. They keep me busy and help keep my mind off baby waiting. I’ve had some fun projects to work on lately, including the “Where Women Create” Magazine blog for Jo Packham. If you haven’t already checked out this magazine, you should! It’s a Stampington & Company publication that features the very creative work spaces of some of the most creative people you can imagine.

Speaking of magazines…. the über talented Matthew Mead has given me the good news that the premiere issue: HOLIDAY with Matthew Mead, Volume 1, 2010 Limited Edition is literally hot off the presses. I had the honor of contributing to this masterpiece, and I can promise you, that Matthew does not disappoint when it comes to awe inspiring beautiful décor and ideas. He was able to transform one of my photographs into something really special. Here’s a quick peek at things to come…

HOLIDAY is only available through the HOLIDAY web site and select boutique stores throughout the U.S. and Canada. It is in limited production, so act fast or you may miss out! For one lucky reader, we would like to surprise you with a free issue! Just leave a comment here on the blog, and I will announce the winner on November 1st. Good luck to all of you!
