I am sitting at my desk rocking out till Pink's "Raise you Glass" trying very hard to keep my eyes open and get something done today besides sleeping.

Not working out very well.

I have some information to share with you all about me and Kinley Lane Designs. Lately has been crazy for me and I have been so all over the place lately that my business.my personal and my health has been taking a hit from it.

It is hard for me to share this but here it goes...

Saturday November 27Th...I will be packing up and heading back to my home town of St.Louis, Missouri. Kinley Lane Designs will be running out of my good friend Rhonda Jean's studio at Chesterfield Mall. She is letting me set up a small workspace to continue making all my lovely things.

My personal life is a little crazy right now and will hopefully work its self out sooner than later. Love is a crazy thing that takes alot of work and hopefully it is meant to be it will be. That's enough said about that because I fell the tears coming. :(

I will be regrouping and re centering myself. Finding my voice and some inspiration. I am having a MAJOR lack of creativity lately and thats no good when your in the business of creating. So back to the drawing board.

Anyway, it is almost Thanksgiving and that means almost Black Friday also. In the shopping spirit of Black Friday I will be offering 25% off all orders over $10.00 dollars till 12-1-10. So, after filling you bellies full of yummy food wobble on over to www.kinleylanedesigns.com and enter QTG101122200834 to get your 25% off. Gobble Gobble

Well, my dears I have to get a start on this packing so I do me a favor and take a minute to share with me what you are Thankful for this Thanksgiving. I would love to here it!!

This year I am thankful for all my loyal Kinley Lane Designs Fans, my friends and my loving family. I am so grateful for all the love and support you have shown me it overwhelms me. From the bottom of my heart Thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!

All my Love,

Trish

Now Available!!

Every year when we were kids...Sometime around Christmas a magical letter from Santa would appear in the mailbox and my heart would skip a beat. It was the best thing EVER!! I felt like the luckiest kid in the whole world because Santa Claus was writing ME...he sent a letter to ME!! I loved it.

I decided that this year I wanted to play Santa and send a little piece of memorable magic other kids around the world. Something they can remember forever.

If you would like one of these super cute letters please go here and check out the different letter options and styles to choose from. For only $7.50 you can see your little one's face light up with joy when they read their very own personalized letter from Santa!!

Can you believe it?? It is November already!! And that means busy, busy, busy getting ready for the shows, and Holiday shopping season.

The first show I have this season is in my Hometown of St.Louis at Chesterfield Mall in my friend Rhonda's Studio. (Rhonda Jean Photos is located on the first level in between Macy's and Sear's) It is a collection of unique vendors all coming together to have one awesome day of Fun,Food and Shopping. Who isn't a fan of all those things put together??

I am so excited!! It should be a great show and we are supporting a great cause! We are going to be having a raffle to raise money for The Layla Grace Foundation. When I heard about it and then read the blog I was overwhelmed with my need to support this cause. I think I went through half a box of tissue that night reading all the sweet children's stories.

Everyone is always asking how I do my make-up like I do and I thought why not make a video!!

Make sure you smile today,

Trish

Happy Birthday to you B!!

This is my B.

The greatest Stepdaughter in the entire world.

I tell her I love her more than the moon.

She tells me she loves me more than all the stars in the sky.

I am also so very grateful for her in my life.

She is funny, sassy, energetic, smart and as you can see....Beautiful.

Today is her 7th birthday!! She is getting so big so quick.

Happy, Happy Birthday B. I love you more than the moon. oxo

Happy Birthdays and Presents.

See this guy? This super handsome little man that melts your heart... That is Jordan my amazing step-son that turned NINE today!! NINE!!

Jordan is one of my most favorite people ever. He is funny, smart, adorable and the sweetest little dude a step-mom could ask for.

He has no idea how much he has blessed my life just by being him and how very grateful I am to God, his mother and father for creating such a wonderful person.

I love him and whats even better is he loves me too. :)

I get asked all the time when the Hubby and I will have kids and with my health it probably won't happen anytime soon. Then they ask if that makes me sad and I say a little....but I feel like B and Jordan were a gift and they chose me. They chose to accept me day one and love me every day after that. I'm blessed.

Happy Birthday Jordan. I love you more than the moon.

What Happened to you???

I apologize that I went M.I.A for a bit .... what happened to me you ask???

Well,what had happened was...I did too much and exhausted myself mentally, physically and emotionally. I was making things for the store my things are in, making things for the website, making things for orders, doing the giveaways for other blogs, doing my blog, planning trunk shows, planning my step-kids birthday party, and the list goes on and on.

I just did too much in too short of a time with my business and still working the day job. It was stupid of me. I have completely exhausted myself,

I have got it together now and realized I need to ask for help when I need it. So, this is the plan for things...

The last two days of the Giveaways will be Wednesday and end Thursday. All seven Giveaways will end on Saturday night and I will choose the winners on Monday so last call people to win some wonderful things,

Now, for the Grand Opening....I have alot more work left to do on the website and Merch so the Grand Opening will be Monday November 8th just in time for Holiday Shopping. The website will remain open while I slowly add things and work on the website.

I hope you all understand and I have not lost any love from my Kinley Lane fans and customers!! oxox

There are some great things coming and I can not wait to share them with you all.

sweetly,
Trish

I started out making lampwork but as the years have gone by I find more satisfaction in designing all different kinds of jewelry. Every once in awhile I drag out the old torch and make enough beads to last me a bit.

My favorite thing right now is being a grandma to a beautiful little baby girl who my husband and I are over the moon about

I used to sell on Etsy but because of moves and work I had to slow down but I am semi retired now and selling in severa and looking forward to being back on Etsy.




Isn't this beautiful?? I love the colors, the vibe and the bead work. The detail and care it looks like took to go into her work is incrediable to me.



Love it! I love jewelry that looks expensive without the being super pricey. her peices are so afforadable and worth every penny.

Ready to know what she is giving away???

oh, There's more!! It's Day Four!!

Can you believe it is Day Four already of the Giveaway?! Time is really flying by this week!

Well my lovelies..Today's Giveaway is kinda a "Two for the Price of One" Deal. One lady with two great businesses and two AWESOME prizes!! Woo-hoo!!

Let me introduce you to Steph of the Steph Rae Etsy store. In her little shop you will find many sweetly designed printable personalized cards.



With the Holidays on there way and it soon being the season for personalized Holiday cards...Look no further. I know how much I look forward to sending these out every year but HATE having to go thru the process of waiting FOREVER for them. Here it is so easy, affordable, quick and the best part is you can print as many as you want from the comfort of your home.

Here is how it works:
• Choose and purchase your favorite design, or contact me to request a custom design.
• Email your photo(s), colors, wording & print size (4x6 or 5x7) and file format** to StephanieRae31Gifts [!at] hotmail.com
• Within 24-48 hours you'll receive a digital proof to review
• You can make as many changes as you like until you are absolutely satisfied with your proof.
• Once you approve the proof, I'll send you a final high resolution .jpg image. You can then upload it to your favorite photo lab and print as many as you need!

How easy is that?? Too easy. I so love the fact that all I have to do is pay a one time fee and then print as few or many as I like because I always have too many or not enough. Problem solved. Plus, her designs are just so darn cute.




I know so many people getting ready to have babies this year and wouldn't this be the sweetest announcement.

Anyway, Steph Rae is giving away to one lucky winner custom note cards with white envelopes (set of 10). The winner can choose one color (any color they'd like, not just those pictured), the letter and the name they would like printed on them.Now take a look below and see how cute they are.




Nice right?

Day Three...Yippee!!!!

It's Day Three and that gets a Yippee!!I'm a dork, I know this.

I want to introduce you all to my new friend and today's "Giveaway Giver" Susan and her lovely shop Girl Sunday Designs!! She is just the sweetest ever!!

A little about her product and what she does:
Susan makes Reusable Snack Bags and Lunch Bags that are an Eco Friendly alternative to plastic bags!!

100% designer cotton exterior. Interior is made with water resistant food safe nylon. Closure is a soft flex Velcro which keeps the bag securely shut, but easy to open.

There are no seams exposed on the pouch, keeping your crumbs from getting tangled in the threads. Please check out the photo of how the interior is finished.

Easy to clean. Wipe out with a damp cloth to clean or machine wash and air dry or low tumble dry.

These bags are great for pretzels, cereals, crackers, sliced apples, carrots or any relatively dry food snack. Or even small toys, crayons or anything you can think of!!

Each bag is individually made so fabric placement is unique to each bag.

All fabric is new and has been gently washed to account for shrinkage.



Susan so kindly sent me this bag to review her product and also surprised me with my own little cute bag!!! I loved them. What a great idea and with alot of people trying to go a little Greener..Why not start small with something as simple as your lunch?? Smart idea. Those plastic baggies add up after awhile and not only do these bags save you money, the enviroment but are so dang cute.



I HEART this one!! So stinking cute. If you don't take a lunch wouldn't this just be perfect for your purse!! The one she so sweetly sent me is now full of my favorite ballerina slipper pink lipgloss, tic tacs, a mirror my mother in law bought me and a few other trinkets. (I had every intention of posting a picture of my cute little gift but I seem to have misplaced my camera...I will post it as SOON as I find it!!)



I just love this one. The Dinos are so adorable and wouldn't this be perfect stuffed in some little boys stocking!!

My new buddy Susan is giving away One sandwich bag and One snack bag to a lucky winner!!

How can you win these?

Woo-Hooo!! It's Day Two!!

Welcome to Day Two Of the "7 Days of Giveaways!!"

Just a quick Note: My buttons were not working so I took mine down and they will be back up shortly!!

I am excited about this next "Giveaway Giver" because she is in the same neighborhood as me and has the cutest little Etsy shop!! If you are looking for adorable custom stationary and paper goods than look no further than Notes by Redletter.






This sweet little card was the first thing that caught my eye. You know I can't resist something sweet and pink. These cards make me want to have an ice cream social.





I wish I would have seen this before I bought Husband's anniversary gift. How cute would this be as a wedding gift, anniversary gift or just to say "I love you gift" and so affordable!! I am pretty positive I am ordering this tomorrow because it would look perfect on my mantel.




I mean...Come on!!! Too stinking cute for words!!There are 12 personalized note cards in the sets. They come with two choices of colored envelopes and they are hand folded with a ribbon of color on the inside that shows through to the front when they are folded. The size is 4.25 x 5.5 and printed on white bristol cover acid free paper. From the cuteness, quality to chocolate brown gift box they are packaged in...PERFECTION!!



I had to show you these because Halloween is quickly approaching and how cute would these be to use as Halloween invites. What is so cool to me is that you can not only personalize the wording but the little girl too!!


I love that you can make this already cute little girl on the card look like your little girl!!



I want it all!! Don't you? Notes by Redletter is so nicely giving away a set of 48 of her cute, personalized address labels ( Size is 1.2" x 1.2" on white matte stickers)to one of you lucky ducks.

Day One of the "7 Days of Giveaways" with Revived Vintage

Today is the day.

The first day counting down the days till the "Big Day."

The "Big Day" being the Grand Opening of kinleylanedesigns.com

I am so excited to soon share with you all the pretty things I have been busy creating.

But first, "7 Days of Giveaways"

When looking for Giveaway Givers I discovered this amazing shop on one of the blogs I have been featured on. Her shop name Revived Vintage caught my eye immediatley because as you all know...I love all things vintage. ( I am quickly discovering this Giveaway is becoming a Christmas wish list for myself too.)

Meet Amy from Revived Vintage..

I"ve been reviving old things for many years now. I can't help but paint most everything white reflecting my own personal design style which is "Cottage,Shabby Chic". I even painted my children white one day (for real, they loved it!)after my oldest daughter asked if "I loved her more than white"....I assured her I did most days :). Anyway, love finding old antique and vintage frames that need a little TLC and "reviving" them into beautiful functional "Chalkboards". I have a wonderful network of people in my area that are always on the look out for vintage frames I could use. They may come from an auction, flea market, antique store or consignment shop...I have my contacts in place so most styles I look for are snatched up for me since I can't be everywhere at one time! I live in a tri-state area, so frames may come from Kentucky, Ohio or West Virginia...I shop in all three states. I also love to embellish them with "Cedar Rose Pinecones" (real pinecones). I've filled my house full with Revived Vintage pieces, now hopefully you can find that special piece for yours!



Isn't this Chalkboard AMAZING!!! I died. I think it would look so perfect in my studio!! (Hint, Hint Husband.)

And, This one...



Could they get and more beautiful? Yes, Yes they do...I think this may be the favorite.



By, now I am sure you are just as in awe as I was and can not wait to get one of these on your wall!! Well, Amy is so kindly Giving away one of the gorgeous chalkboard's below to one of you!! Are you too excited?





Here are the ways you can win!!

I just wanted to say a quick Thank you to all my friends and family who have been there and been so supportive to me and my business. This has been a rocky year for me personally, health wise and for my business. To all of you who have been an ear to listen and been a cheerleader when I needed it...you have no idea how much it means to me.

I really want to Thank someone in particular. My Nicholas. There are so many things to thank you for I don't know where to start. If I forget something..I'm sorry.

Thank you for dealing with the glitter all over the living room, the bathroom and you.
Thank you for staying up late nights to help me when I needed it.
Thank you for getting up so early to help me set up for shows only to have them rained out an hour later.
Thank you for letting me cry on your shoulder when I have felt like I just want to give up.
Thank you for being the voice of reason when I want to create something at 4:30 in the morning because I have gone crazy from not sleeping...
Thank you for wiring 100"s of necklaces that broke because I bought the wrong glue.
Thank you for being honest and telling me the truth when something I make is ugly..lol
Thank you for going without sometimes so I could have my dream.
Thank you for believing in me.

I love you.

The Big News!!

Are you so excited to know what my Big news is?

Can you hardly contain yourself?

Are you on the edge of your seat????

And my News is......

When I first started my business I was Cupcake Est.1981 and I made cute, girly, glam things...that EVERYONE else made too. It was super cute stuff but wasn't really me and I wasn't profit from it. I was so depressed by the lack of sales, bad shows, and was about to hang up my crafting hat for good.

Well, one day I started just crafting for me...for fun again and a light just clicked in my head.

"Why aren't you making the things that make you smile and that you really like?!"

So, After ready SO many marketing and Etsy blogs I decided to give it one more go. The first thing I decided to do was "Build a Brand"..things that spoke my direction. I wanted my things to say Pretty, Sweet, Vintage, colorful,retro, sassy with a sprinkle of glamour. All the things that I consider to be me and my style. My inspiration was a picture of my amazingly beautiful mother. When I was a kid we lived in a really small town in Ohio and my Mom was unlike any other Mom. She ALWAYS and I mean always made sure to walk out the door with her big curled hair, her big colorful earrings, a over sized blouse with a pair of skintight leggings.

I thought she was the coolest ever.

I look at this picture every day when I work and create. It makes me smile and reminds me to be me and just create.

Long story made short. I became Kinley Lane Designs. A boutique for girls of all ages that like a little something different at an affordable price. It will be all things fashion, accessories, art and more. With a sweet, pretty, colorful, vintage and a little sassy feel.

Whats happening is that I have been slowly showing you my things and on Monday October 4Th I will be have a Grand Opening of my NEW WEBSITE. I have been working so hard on my new product line and am so ready to show you all!! I am getting a little teary eyed typing this now because I have put my all onto this. My everything. It is so very important that you all like what you see. My business means the world to me :)







Even more Exciting is that starting on the 24Th will be my "7 days of Giveaways" leading up to the Grand Opening of my website. ARE YOU SO EXCITED YET???

That's right "7 Days of Giveaways" !!!

Some very sweet, awesome and amazing businesses have donated prizes for each day of the Giveaway. Thank you so much again ladies!! I feel so blessed.

Each day of the Giveaway I will spotlight the giver of the prize. I want you to get to know the business that is being so gracious and see all their other lovely things.

I hope you all are ready to win some goodies and will be ready with your mouse to check out my new website!!

Oh, man I am getting all misty again. I am such a nerd.

Going Country!!

"We're from the Country and we like it that way!"

I don't remember what country song that is from right now..My mind is mush from working on this computer all day. (If you know please let a girl know!!)

So, I have been working on my Halloweenie Costume line and the next piece in the collection is "Country Bumkin."






Isn't she just the cutest? If i haven't said already I will say it now, Loud and Proud!!!....I LOVE ALL THINGS VINTAGE!!!
This adorable doll is such a thing that I am in love with. They don't make things like they did back then. Anyway, she is my baby model because I really don't have alot of options and I kinda like my merch on her.

Enough about my doll. I have some big news to share tomorrow!! I can hardly contain myself!! I am terrible at surprises. I can't help myself.

So, not another word. Goodnight. Come back tomorrow and find out the news!!

Okay, really....not another peep.

BoooooOOOOOooooo...

I know Halloween is over a month away but its my Favorite.

I love the costumes.

I love the make-up.

I love the trick or treaters.

I love Haunted Houses.

I love the candy.

I love the parties.

Since I can remember it has been my favorite Holiday. I still remember going to Jo-ann's with my mom and hunting for goodies to make cute, affordable costumes.

So, this year I wanted to create my own line of unique,fun, boutique costumes. They are sized right now for the bitty's but can be made for any age. (Just message me with sizes and it shall be done)

Here is a sneak peek at one of the costumes call "Glitter Witchie" which is available on my website and Etsy.com. The whole "Halloweenie Costume" Collection will be available the last week in September.





I don't hate comment so let me know what you think :)

P.S. keep an eye on my Fan Page because there is a Giveaway coming soon!!

I just wanted to leave a quick note.

Hope you didn't miss me too much. Lots of things to come today and tomorrow.

Maybe a Giveaway??? Just maybe. Stay Tuned. oxox
