Have you noticed my new sidebar labels? I love them! A couple of weeks ago I won a giveaway from Mandy at a la parisienne. Many of you already follow her blog and her French Lesson Fridays. This giveaway was for custom sidebar buttons, something I had been wanting for a long time. Look on my right sidebar – aren’t they wonderful? I couldn’t have been happier with the process. Mandy is wonderful! She asks questions about your blog, your style, and how you would like your blog to look. Then she sends a variety of font styles from which you choose several that represent your blog’s style. Then, as if by magic, something appears that, in my case, was absolutely what I had dreamed of.
After my sidebar buttons were designed, she also designed a customized button (scroll down to see my ASPCA button) that fulfilled my need to link to a cause I deeply believed in but stayed true to the style of my blog.
The good news is this: Mandy is opening her own Etsy store! She will be offering sidebar labels and Etsy store buttons/links. She will also design customized buttons like my ASPCA button. All of these offerings can be customized however you want – you get to pick titles, fonts and the color scheme. Her Etsy address is: www.alaparisienne.etsy.com.
Mandy would like to offer a special for my readers. Anyone who purchases a set of 5 sidebar labels by Tuesday, June 9th will get 8 labels for the price of 5. What a great deal!
Truly, the process was a delight from start to finish and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She is a fellow blogger with wonderful taste. Go visit her shop and tell her I sent you.
Claudia,
Congratulations on winning the labels. Are they the little ovals with the names of things in them??
Very nice.
I’ll check out her new site.
blessings,

The sidebar labels are perfect for your blog and I did notice the wonderful ASPCA label which replaced your other ones . . . much more in keeping with your blog and yet still getting your important message out!
