  1. first of all, i loved all of these sponsors!
    such cute blogs and cute shops. : )
    and even though i couldn't comment to urban rain, i was still really excited about the shop.
    i can't choose two single favorites, but i love all the magnet sets and rings!
    i really need magnets for my fridge, so i'll probably be looking into those.
    :)

  32. OK, you've given me 11 more reasons not to get anything done or ever leave the house! I've been to all, commented and had fun. I loved looking around. I am not sure why, but when I find new blogs I tend to go to the fall and winter posts to start. I saw so many recent comments referred from you. You're getting people on the move and helping handmade and vintage shop-girls! Right On!
