{Sweet Sponsor} Scentsy Consultant Kari Doherty

Surely everyone knows by now what Scentsy is!  

"Scentsy began with a simple idea — a safe, wickless alternative to scented candles — and quickly grew into one of the most successful direct selling companies in the world. This wickless concept is simply decorative ceramic warmers designed to melt scented wax with the heat of a light bulb instead of a traditional wick and flame."

I love it!  If you're like me, then you enjoy a nice smellin' house, especially if you have a little one still in diapers! Before Lil' Hunkie came along, I burned candles like nobody's business so I was glad when I was introduced to Scentsy by my good friend, Kari a couple of years ago.  I've been pleased ever since!  And to me their scents are more concentrated therefore last longer than others. And yes I've tried others.  And of course the best part for me is no more open flame.  Currently, I have Jane in the kitchen which covers the kitchen, dining room, and living room.  And then there are plug ins in each bathroom.  And my favorite scent? French Kiss! And I think Rio Beach is the perfect bathroom scent!

I'm so very excited to have Kari join my sponsor group!
And she'd love to be your consultant!  Be sure and visit her site at https://kariswarmers.scentsy.us/Scentsy/Home and check out Scentsy's other product lines; Layers and Velata.

And be sure to watch for my 2nd Annual August Bash coming up!  There just might be some Scentsy up for grabs!

Happy Monday!

Go Handmade for Mother's Day!

{This is a sponsored post by Chez Mukweto.  All opinions are mine.}

Good Morning Lovelies!

By my calculations there's about 3 weeks till a very important day of the year...Mother's Day.  

If you are like me, you have a mother who has just about everything and doesn't really need anything.  

So what to do?

I say go handmade!

 Handmade either by yourself or someone else in my opinion, is a different kind of special.  

One idea is some cozy slippers from Chez Mukweto.

Yes these are my cute chubby feet! I've been wearing these and they are comfy!  

My first thought when I pulled them out of the box is how very well crafted they are.  I know only enough crochet to crochet a straight line for a scarf so I'm amazed at how these are made!  They have formed to my feet perfectly and are keeping them nice and warm. {I can't stand to have cold feet!}

Of course Jacqueline can make any color, color combo you like in sizes 3-11.  I think these would be great alone or with a pedicure gift card or in a foot care basket!

And would my own mom like some? Yep! She loves slippers!

Go check out Jacqueline's Etsy shop Chez Mukweto and tell her I sent you.

Wishing you all an early Happy Mother's Day!

New Sponsorship Info & Sponsor Love!

Happy Monday! 

Hope you all had a fun and safe New Year's!  We didn't make it to midnight.  Hunkie had worked all day and was tired and Thursday and Friday I had worked really hard getting the Christmas down and a few things reorganized and cleaned house for a cancelled house showing on Saturday at 10 am.
 I almost cried I was so tired!  Nothing wrong with ringing in the New Year with some sleep! ☺

Well it's time to make some sponsorship changes!
I have decided to do sponsorship a little bit different...

For a 300x150 space for two months:

For one of your products/goods with a value of at least $10, I will write a feature post including links to your blog and/or shop,and social media places, share the feature post on my Facebook/Twitter/Pinterest.  If you would like for me to host a giveaway then the product/good will be used as the prize.

Or

For a 150x150 space for two months:

For one of your products/goods with a value of at least $5, I will write a feature post including links to your blog and/or shop, and social media places, share the feature post on my Facebook/Twitter/Pinterest.  

Near the end of the 2 months I will also do a recap group feature post.  

Why place an ad on Vintage Gwen?
Healthy growth is taking place! Especially in the last 2 months. And I intend to keep the momentum!
I am consistent with my posting.

Please contact me if you would like to start sponsorship now or have any questions!

Now then before I go I want to thank my current Sweet Sponsors.  You are all awesome and I thank you in making Vintage Gwen a success!

Have a great first week of the New Year!!

{Sweet Sponsor} Ramblings Of A Nutcase

My 4th December sponsor is a special one in her own right.
It's not every day you get a soldier to sponsor you!

Yep that's right!
Jenn of Ramblings of a Nutcase is not only a blogger but is member of the United States Army and the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade. And she is currently in Afghanistan!

I'm honored she found me and to have her as a sponsor!

Here's Jenn in her own words...

"I started this blog as a way to stay in touch with my creative side and not lose it to the Army side. Don't get me wrong, I like the military, but creativity is a part of me that doesn't fit well with the Army. I write because I enjoy it, I create because it makes me happy. I love making things for other people. Learning new recipes for me to try when I come home during this deployment. Its nice to find other people like me, so into crafts and willing to share. I absolutely love it! So please, stop by and say hello. Whether its here, email, facebook, or twitter, I would greatly appreciate it! I love making new friends!"

And here's what she's been up to lately...

Christmas Ornament Making

These are way cute!

Holiday Blog Party

Going on now!

Sharing about her deployment.
