Hey, it’s Black Friday! If you’re getting ready to go out shopping, why not hit up Market Day in Des Moines at 9 AM today for some great deals?
In case you forgot, I’m doing a giveaway that ends at 5 AM on Monday.
After stuffing yourself silly with turkey and cranberries, it’s definitely time for a day-long shopping trip. After all, that is the new American tradition.
How about shopping locally instead of hitting the big box stores? Market Day’s Black Friday sale is from 9-2 on Friday, November 25. I’ll be there and [...]

Due to summer being INSANELY busy for me, I just got involved with Market Day this year. It’s only a few months late …

Hello bloglings. Tomorrow is my first Market Day of the season. They’ve been going on since May, but I’ve not had a chance to do much crafting until this last month.
For those of you who don’t know and are around Central Iowa, you should come check it out. It’s pretty awesome.
Actually, for you [...]
This week’s Humpday Blog Love installation is dedicated to The Hipster Housewife.
The Hipster Housewife is a blog started somewhat recently by Des Moines’s own Cat Rocketship. If you live in the Des Moines area and haven’t heard of Cat, get out from that rock you’ve been living under. [...]
This week’s Humpday Blog Love goes to my friend Cara at Little Pretties.
I met Cara a couple months back at Market Day. I didn’t realize until later that I’d been following her on Pinterest and that we have very similar taste in things. I [...]
