Take the Cannoli: Blessed + Giveaway by The Vanilla Tulip

To say I was thrilled about todays giveaway would be an understatement. I am trying to find a loop hole so I can enter myself because I absolutely love these products but even more so, love this girl. Yesterday I had shared about how many amazing women I have met through this blog and of course as in everyday life some connections are instant, that was definitely the case for Ashley and I.

I met Miss Ashley through a link up party months back before the holidays and am ever so grateful I did. I had an instant connection with her. She has a beautiful heart and find myself checking in on her blog for motivation, recipes, mama advice and now with her new fab series titled "Thrifty Thoughts" I'm checking in for tips on how to stretch our dolla dolla billz yo'! You will adore her and her sweet spirit and like me will leave her blog feeling either refreshed or inspired. I'm truly blessed by her.

__________________________________________________________________________

Hello! I'm Ashley from The Vanilla Tulip Blog and Shop. I am the wife to my college sweetheart and mama to three littles, four and under. On my blog you will find a little bit of everything. I talk about my Faith, new recipes, my babies, ways to be thrifty yet fun, sometimes clothes and fashion, staying at home, budgeting and other random subjects. I am passionate about making my home a comfortable and inviting place for family and friends. I am a lover of all things caffeinated. I love cooking and baking for my family. I love the beach and anything that has to do with summer time. I love sewing and creating using vintage pieces in my work. Which leads me to introducing my shop! In it you will find Vintage Hanky Pillow Covers. I am in love with them! Each pillow is unique and one of a kind. They look great alone or as a large grouping. I love using bright colors and patterns paired with neutrals. You will also find Floral Vintage Button Corsages. Each one is unique and different made with a vintage rhinestone button. They look adorable pinned to your scarf or sweater, pinned to a pillow for decor or attached to the top of a gift for an extra touch. If you are looking for something specific please feel free to ask!
