3 GIVEAWAYS open until Wednesday November 25th.
Our FIRST Fabulous Friday Freebie
brought to you by Avec Dieu Couture
is a $50 Gift Certificate

Paisley, taffeta, damask, silk dupioni, velvet, animal prints, toile, stripes and Asian flair are among the dozens and dozens of fabrics to choose from when selecting your custom order from this lovely home accent store. Avec Dieu’s creations range from classic elegance to a modern cutting edge twist in style.

With an eye for design and a love for varied texture, Avec Dieu generates home accents both practical and pleasing to the eye. It is no secret that tapestry, curtains, towels and throw pillows are the key to transforming a room into that perfectly coordinated “showroom style”. You will not be at a loss for options when you explore Avec Dieu’s lovely assortment of colors and prints.

I bought a duvet cover for my bed at Bed Bath and Beyond. It was on clearance. Someone had opened the package and it had been marked off 85%. I loved it and it was an absolute steal. It wasn’t until I got it home that it dawned on me that I didnt have anything else that color. We’ve all done that at one time or another. Taken advantage of a deal (tho perhaps slightly impractical) that we just couldn’t pass up. With a little something here and there to tie it in, you have the potential for a complete room makeover. I sent Avec Dieu a picture of the pleated design I needed to match the bed, the style of pillow I wanted and chose the silk dupioni fabric that would match my duvet and…well…I think my new room works now!
Make a purchase from Avec Dieu and enjoy a 10% discount this week only when you mention Fabulous Friday Freebies. Stylish wine bags would make great Christmas gifts for neighbors and friends. Browse those along with towels, table linens and napkins. Martha Stewart’s got nothin’ on you with these cheeky accents around!

In addition to a wonderful discount to help you get a jump start on your Christmas shopping, Avec Dieu also donates 15% of all sales to support a mission project in Uganda caring for orphans with AIDS!
So you can finally get that shower curtain up in the guest bathroom…or those drapes hung before your Mother-in-law comes to visit for the holidays!

Our THIRD Fabulous Friday Freebie is a
Gift Set from Nicole’s Nursery

One lucky, baby-loving winner will be the recipient of a girl or boy themed Gift Package of 3 Lovely Burp Cloths from Nicole’s Nursery.
My third-born was mere weeks old when we had to attend a wedding of a friend. I nursed her in a quiet room above the sanctuary during most of the service and hastily burped her so I could make it down for the reception. The bride, a good friend, thought it would be fun to get a picture with the youngest member of their wedding party. Handing baby-dearest off to the beautiful bride apparently jostled that little bubble out of my baby’s tummy and with it, half of her feeding.
Yes! Onto the bride! Just the hem of her dress, but…still!
Perhaps I would not have been so mortified if I’d had a fashionable, plush burp cloth to apologetically hand my friend. But alas, I found myself scrambling for paper napkins. Learn from my mistake ladies! Every new mom needs a set of these!

But should your baby be out of that lovely stage, there is something for everyone at Nicole’s Nursery. Specializing in custom designs and bubbling with creativity, Nicole’s Nursery can outfit your little tyke…or your little turkey.

Contact Nicole’s Nursery with a specific request or browse their adorable assortment of hooded towels, nursery decor, applique onesies, bibs and burp cloths. Nicole’s Nursery also designs fashionable waterproof tags for labeling all your diaper bag contents before sending your little one to the MOPS nursery. Sure beats writing their name in permanent marker on everything! Check out their adorable listing for custom patchwork skirts or contact them if you have something specific in mind! And what would a boutique be without an assortment of pillowcase dresses? The lovely selection at Nicole’s Nursery, will leave you longing for spring!
Shop Nicole’s Nursery this week and enjoy a 10% discount off your entire purchase! Don’t forget to mention Fabulous Friday Freebies and your discount will be refunded after the transaction is completed.
