i am calling on the blogger world (that means YOU) for some help. if you have a spare second today (actually, you have until next wednesday, but why procrastinate!), would you mind pitching in? i sure would appreciate it.
so here's the deal. leave me a comment with your favorite website for event/party/wedding shopping and you will be entered to win a $30 gift card to pottery barn or crate & barrel. (ok look, i know it's not a lot, but it's $30 more than you have right now. AND it's $30 towards a fun store, which means you would have an excuse to get yourself a fun, little, sparkly something without spending your own money! you would be surprised what 30 bucks can get you...any of these these beauties!)
for full details of the contest, click here.
let the contest begin! so what is your favorite site for party shopping and why?

http://www.flowersinthecity.com/ (Dulken & Derrick's trims are great! Their vintage flower collection is especially fun---reminiscent of the J.Crew vintage flower pin collection that sold out in nanoseconds this fall!)
http://stores.ebay.com/NATURAL-GREEN-MOSS-PRODUCTS
(Natural Green Moss Products has this ebay store that I LOVE. You can buy moss table runners, moss sheets in all shapes and sizes, loose sheet moss, etc. I stocked up on this moss when I threw a baby shower that was "nature-inspired." The moss table runners looked amazing).

http://www.grahamandgreen.co.uk/
(Technically, a home store...but so many fabulous odds and ends that are super-perfect for a big to-do!)
