Deal of the Day March 25

Today's deal of the day is this set of 3 snack and sandwich bags.  Save 20% today only  $12

I decided in honor of the NCAA tournament I would offer something basketball related.  These normally sell for $15, so you save!

You will get 2 snack bags and 1 sandwich bag.  They are 100% cotton with foodsafe ripstop nylon lining and a zipper closure.  The lining can be wiped out or you can machine wash these if necessary.

They are also great for other uses, storing small items, cosmetics, or whatever you need a nice bag for.

I live 45 miles from Syracuse NY so anyone that follows the games knows that our local team lost last night, Syracuse University.  Even so, there are still some great teams left and good luck to your favorite :)

Deal of the Day March 9

Today's deal of the day is from my children's shop, OriginalsbyLaurenToo.   It is an adorable baby/toddler quilt.  It is handmade by me and is one of a kind.  The quilt was machine pieced and machine quilted.  The fabric is adorable and vintage looking.

I used 100% cotton fabric and cotton quilt batting.

This quilt was originally $90.  Since I am not currently selling quilts, I had reduced it to $75.  For today only, you can have it for $50,  a huge savings.

You can use this quilt for a crib, for a lap quilt for a toddler, or as a wallhanging.  It is adorable.

Since this is from my second shop,  the lunch bag has been extended one more day.

Valentine's Day is Almost Here

 Now that February is here, our thoughts go to our special someone and Valentine's Day.  What to get is always a big decision, and the longer you have been together, the harder it is to come up with an original idea.


While anything in my shop, www.originalsbylauren.etsy.com is appropriate, I have chosen a few special gift ideas for you to look at.

Whether you want pink owls or hot men, I have them, and everything in between.

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you.

Getting Ready for Spring


Today is the first of February, the month of  Valentines and winter vacations.  We can see spring right around the corner, so it is time to start thinking of getting our homes ready for spring.  A coat of paint or a new accessory can brighten up your any room.

I have added some table runners and a table topper to my shop, www.originalsbylauren.etsy.com  .  I also have some great new fabrics and am going to make some goodies from them that can help make your home look wonderful.

I always love your input, you give me the greatest tips.  If you are looking for something that I don't currently carry, please let me know.  I love to do custom orders and might very well add a new line to my shop.

Although it is still winter, spring is close by.  Enjoy this month.

I Did It Again

 Welcome to 2012, I wish everyone a year filled with  health, happiness and peace.


I have to apologize to everyone, I did it again.  I always intend to keep up my blog, and then life happens and I let it slip.  I will try harder this year, but I know better to make promises.

I have added a new line to my shop, www.originalsbylauren.etsy.com  .  I have added mug rugs to my coasters section of my shop.

In case you don't know, a mug rug is larger than a
coaster and smaller than a placemat.

They measure 8"x10", just the perfect size for a cup of coffee or a snack.  They have a layer of cotton quilt batting between 2 layers of cotton fabric.

They are great for your morning coffee,  a bowl of cereal, you little one's after school snack,  or can even be used as a mat for a centerpiece.

I will be adding more choices throughout the week.  I am currently  listing them as singles, matching pairs, co-ordinating pairs, and am thinking about sets of
four.


I have other new items in the works, especially for my other 2 shops, www.originalsbylaurentoo.etsy.com and www.laurenspdfpatterns.com  .

I will post here when I add items.

Thanks for listening and I will try to do better this year.  If I lapse, feel free to remind me.

                                                                                     Lauren
