sofa bling and more

We have a winner....

Linda from My Crafty Home Life was lucky #7 and the winner of the Lily on Blue pillow giveaway!!

I can't wait to see her new Schumacher Arbre Chinois pillow grace the cushions of her sofa (or maybe a chair or bed).

I got my own Lily on Blue pillows the other day and I am obsessed!  I already had the navy zigzag pillows, and with the addition of a little Chiang Mai and Windsor Smith Pelagos my sofa is now complete. 

(sorry for the cell phone pic)

Even if you wernt the lucky winner, you still have a chance to get your very own Lily on Blue pillows.  The 20% off sale has been extended till Sunday and with the code LEB20OFF you can get any of the lovely pillows in stock!!

Here are a few of my other favorites that you can pick up with the 20% off code

Celerie Kemble Hot House Flowers    &     Kelly Wearstler Katana

Kravet Windsor Smith Pelagos    &     Thomas Paul Dahlia

Don't forget, it's only till Sunday. So head on over to Lily on Blue and punch in the code LEB20OFF to get some new sofa bling!!

A reminder to get in your entry for the Chinoiserie Pillow giveaway!!

** Get your entry in HERE ** 

Also, don't forget you can get 20% any of the pillows from Lily on Blue through next Tuesday with the code LEB20OFF 

Alright, next on the agenda is a question to all my lovely readers.  Do any of you have one of these amazing contraptions, also known as a Cricut machine?

Is it hard to use?  Do you have software that allows you to hook it up to your computer and make your own designs?  I don't want to get one and be stuck buying all those silly cartridges for it, I want to make my own designs.  Help a girl out and give me some advice, would you? peaceloveandthanks.

Lastly, and I can NOT believe I am about to post this for all to see, I need help with a major eye sore.  And it goes as follows....

Yes, this is what I call my bathroom.  Feel sorry for me, I do.

You have no idea how much strength it takes me not take a sledge hammer to the tile and then call my landlord and say "oops sorry, it slipped".

Anyone out there have any amazing before and after photos of apartment bathrooms? Maybe your own, maybe not, it doesn't matter. I feel like my brain is beyond fried from school & my creative juices are tapped out. Kinda like Vicki's love tank last year.  I'm taking any and all suggestions, so send 'em along. peaceloveandthanks times two.

Thats it for now and dont forget to enter the pillow cover giveaway here.

Happy Weekend!

Happy Habitat & a giveaway!!

I FINALLY came to my senses and got myself an iPhone.  Seriously I don't know what took me so long, I am obsessed!  It's like my entire life in a little handheld box. I know you all know what I'm talking about when I say that if I lost it, I might not recover.

What makes me even more excited about my new phone is the ahhh-mazing case I have protecting it.  I mean since iPhones are the new hot accessory why not have it colorful and fun?  Happy Habitat just so happens to make the cutest and most colorful phone cases around!

String on the finger

hello lovies- just a quick reminder about the amazing Paddywax giveaway.

You have till next Wednesday to get your entry in.


Have a fabulous weekend!

Tickle Your Nose Giveaway

OK I'll admit it, I'm a candle whore. 

I have a stock pile of them at home and that's because on crisp fall days and cold winter ones the first thing I do when I get home from work is light a candle.  There is something about the soft flicker and the soothing scents that make me unwind and relax.

I'm always on the hunt for new candles to add to the stock pile.  Of course packaging counts, because lets face it we all like pretty things.  Enter Paddywax, my new love. 

They have everything I love- amazing scents, the perfect packaging, and lots of choices.  The candle that I have been lighting for the last few nights is Pomegranate from their new Winter Garden Collection and it's delish.

 (excuse the dark photo, it was dark out when I took it. Speaking of dark, don't you hate that its getting dark earlier and earlier these days? Well I hate it)

Back to the point of this post, candles. 

Because I love Paddywax so much and I want you all to love them too, they have sweetly agreed to give one of my readers a $50 gift certificate to their site.  Woohoo!

Lets review some of my favorites

Journey of the Bee Collection

I just love the little bee image on the glass- it's too cute.  And what I also love is that when the candle is buh-bye you can reuse the glass.

Garden Crush Collection

Beautiful colors, amazing scents- there is not one bad one in this collection, they all smell great.

Eco Collection

Soy-based inks, hemp twine, recycled paper- this is a wonderful planet friendly candle.

They have diffusers too- for those who aren't obsessed with candles like me these are perfect for you!

There are so many more where these came from too.  Want your own candles or diffusers to tickle your nose?

Here's how to enter for the $50 Gift Certificate to Paddywax:

1. Make sure you are a follower of EverythingLEB

2. Head over to Paddywax and let me know your favorite collection and/or what you would spend the $50 on.


BONUS - If you blog or tweet about this give-away come back to enter again.

 *Remember anyone can enter you don’t need to have a blog to do so- but please leave your email address in your entry so I can get in touch with you if you are the lucky winner.


Giveaway will end October 6th @ midnight EST.  Good Luck!!

PS- You can also follow Paddywax on Twitter and Facebook for their latest updates!
