The Spotted Box is on Sale Today!!

Today at noon, the Spotted Box goes on sale at Etsy! I sent in 60 clothespin clips, some w/ magnets, for this month's box, and I can't wait to get my box again. I have been thrilled w/ the samples that I've received in each month's box, and I've discovered some great new shops that I may not have found otherwise.

Head on over and get your own! They do sell out quickly!

The Spotted Box Came Yesterday!

My daughter and I talked about it all day, and it was here when we came home from lunch! Seriously, my two-year-old gets very excited about this and pulls everything out of the box before I can see it or get a picture. Then she wants me to open them all, and she talks about the "cute little soaps" and "new bracelets," etc. It was a great box again this month. I'm going to try to at least list all of the items, but I may miss a few. They tend to scatter fast in this house. :)
