guest post by my sister, Jamie Druke

As Jenni mentioned in a recent post, blogging and Etsy have provided many opportunities to meet some pretty awesome people. Making wedding paraphernalia has an added benefit: I get to be involved in one of the most important days of their life!

In honor of several big milestones here at Dear Lillie we have decided to do a bigger give-away than normal for May. In the past couple of weeks we hit the 1000 “favorite” mark, the 500 sales mark on our Etsy site, and the 150 follower mark here on our blog, so we have decided to give the lucky winner a
$100 gift certificate
to our Etsy shop.

We were supposed to fly to New Hampshire earlier this morning but poor Miss Lillie came down with strep throat yesterday morning and last night even with several doses of Motrin in her had a temp of 104.4. Poor little munchkin! She is such a sweet little baby, though and didn’t really even act that sick except to be a bit more snuggly than normal and she didn’t have quite as much energy.

We took Miss Lillabel to Busch Gardens yesterday for the first time and to say that she loved it would be an understatement! She was completely enthralled by everything and had an absolute blast. Jon and I really enjoyed it, as well, and we can’t wait to take her back! Plus, she was so exhausted she slept until 10:30 this morning!

Wow! I didn’t mean to make you all wait this long. I actually did the random number generator earlier today but haven’t had time to post until now. Congratulations to Morning Star Loft who’s favorite was the Gatsby! Please send us an e-mail to dearlillie@hotmail.com with your shipping address and to confirm that you do indeed want the Gatsby Clutch.
