Sponsor Spotlight: Paloma Vintage & Little Ocean Annie

You may remember Paloma Vintage from a recent giveaway that shop owner, Nancy, and I teamed up on. Her shop is filled with the loveliest vintage clothes and housewares, including my favorite piece, that beautiful white dress (mainly because it reminds me of both this and this Edwardian inspired piece). Her etsy shop is a pretty place to roam, so be sure to check it out when you get the chance! She's offering a 20% discount to all of my blog readers, and all you have to do is type in "athoughtistheblossom" at checkout.

The lady behind Little Ocean Annie is one of my bff's here in blogland. She's probably the main reason I want to move to Portland – to be by her and her sweet little family and to get my paws on all the amazing vintage in her town– and her shop is one of my absolute favorites on etsy! She's been hitting major jackpot at estate sales lately – I think she said she picked up 60 pieces at an estate sale a couple of days ago, along with making a deal with an old vintage dealer– so be sure to keep your eyes peeled on her shop. She's got a lot of good things up her sleeve!

Tip: Follow her on twitter so you can be in the know the second she gets them listed.

Action is the Fruit : Little Ocean Annie

You guys may remember me asking for your advice on what to do with all those extra clothes when I shut the doors of my etsy shop at the end of the summer. I was thinking of holding a garage sale or possibly selling them in bundles online, but to be honest, both of those options were way more work than I was wanting to do.

It took a little time and a really good friend to finally figure out what I was going to do with them, but in the end, I think it was the best! My good friend Annie from Little Ocean Annie has the most amazing (and affordable) etsy shop around – it dressed me for the Thanksgiving celebrations at my parents house (proper photos soon, I promise). She lives in Portland with her awesome husband Josh, they're expecting their first baby in just a few weeks (so close!), and well, she's pretty freakin' awesome to extend the invitation for an Action is the Fruit/Little Ocean Annie collaboration!

Doesn't she look cute modeling one of my dresses. She's listing everything in little collections, so be sure to add her shop to your favorites so you can keep up. The first collection is up now!

Also, I'll be wrapping up the Five and Two giveaway on Monday. Be sure to enter to win a pair of LANI bracelets.
