End of Summer Ad Special

Hi friends! I know it's hard to believe that the holidays are on their way with the Summer heat still blazing outside, but they will be here soon. Because of this I wanted to give you a quick heads-up if you are looking for affordable and effective advertising for your business or blog. This month is the last month to book an ad campaign on Creature Comforts with the standard rates. After that we will be into the holiday season and spots fill up quickly. Booking a quarterly spot this month will secure advertising for you all the way into November. Woohoo!

So, whether you are new to advertising or are a seasoned pro I'd love to work with you on an ad package for your site. Email me (creaturecomfortsblog AT gmail DOT com) and we can discuss the details. I look forward to hearing from you soon. xo Ez

Site for Sore Eyes: Amy Merrick

I first spotted the newly lauched website of Floral Designer/Stylist Amy Merrick over on flickr last week and just knew I had to share it with you all. Isn't the homepage design perfection? The story behind the design is both inspring and fascinating, so if you have a moment or two on your hands I definitely recommend visiting Amy's blog to read more about it.

Of course you must also be sure to browse around through Amy's site. Her floral designs are pure heaven...

...as is her styling:Hop on over and see everything for yourself right now. xo Ez

In Good Company: Blink

Hello again sweets! I just thought I'd pop by to share this fantastic handmade pet supply business that I found while working on my Project Runway post over the weekend. Blink offers a chic line of hand-dyed cotton leashes and pet tags (in design options like "pebble" + "mountain"), and all in a great muted color palette that won't clash with your outfits when you're walking little Chester or Charlie (love that). You can see more in the Blink shop right here.
