We love making the list!
We made the Christmas list for From the Pony Show Ring! Of course, I'll admit, Sarah Kate, the blog author is my daughter but she actually gave me these mentions in spite of that fact. I'm so proud! All kidding aside, I am very proud of this little equestrian! Well, she's maybe not so little anymore.
Sarah Kate has been riding since she was 8 and is now 13. She rides hunter-jumper, meaning she uses an English saddle (no pommel like the Western ones) and jumps on her ponies back over 3' jumps. It's enough to make a Mom's heart stop but at the same time I'm thrilled for both of these athletes. She and her pony, Eyes Up (aka Jeb) are actually ranked in the top 20 in the US in their division. Ok, I'll quit bragging (- well after I show you a couple of pictures).
Well, ok, now enough of the bragging and to the list. You can check out Sarah Kate's blog and see which of our items made her list and if you have an equestrian you're shopping for you might check out some of her suggestions! http://fromtheponyshowring.blogspot.com/2011/11/christmas-oh-my.html
Thanks Sarah Kate for mentioning us!

We have an announcement!
We have an announcement! We're so excited to be adding the Emily Post Wedding collection to the website!
Yes it's that Emily Post! She was such an amazing woman and had such an incredible impact on our society that we're just thrilled to have her beautiful collections to offer you. Emily Post Wedding is exclusively for M. Middleton, one of our suppliers and so we get to share this incredible collection with you.
The Emily Post Wedding Collection consists of two collections: Style and Grace.
"The Emily Post Wedding Grace Collection celebrates tradition with classic elegance. These designs pair beauty with extraordinary quality and sophistication. It's the only choice for couples who wish to embrace tradition and formality - while at the same time providing the opportunity to apply graciousness, generosity, and your own sense of style." Anna Post & Peggy Post
Anna Post is a great-great granddaughter and Peggy Post is a great-granddaughter-in-law of Emily Post. The Emily Post Institute founded by Emily and her son Ned in 1946 and today continues to promote the etiquette and civility Emily treasured. The family remains involved with EPI (The Emily Post Institute, Inc.) and now spans five generations of Posts.
The Emily Post Wedding Style Collection is a modern, bold collection with daring color choices, exotic typefaces, cut-outs and folds, bows, creative wording and artwork. I'm sure you're wondering if Emily Post, who first shared her philosophy in 1922, would approve of modern and bold. She absolutely would! These 26 suites represent her commitment to staying contemporary without sacrificing graciousness, generosity or style. She felt traditions are wonderful because of there meaning and value, but traditions aren't meant to force brides into choosing something that makes no sense for them and goes against their wedding dreams.
We think today's bride and groom will adore these collections as much as we do! Here's a sampling to peak your curiosity.

The Sirens are Sounding! Firefighter Birthday Party Ideas
The engine is roaring, the lights flashing and the siren is sounding! All in celebration of a very luck little boy's birthday! So cute and yet so easy with these great ideas. We've done most of the legwork for you so this party will be super easy and your guests will absolutely love it.
Our Fireman Birthday Party Invitation sets the stage with it's classic motif and it makes it super easy to pull together the theme. The paper straws and milk in great plastic bottles make an easy refreshing drink for growing firefighters to wash down some yummy cupcakes in bright red wrappers! Decorate some with the fondant cupcake toppers and others with the goodies from the cupcake kit.
Decorations are super easy with firehelmet and hose accents, balloons and a few firetrucks for good measure.
Party favors are super easy. Plastic firehats and badges can be given out as guests arrive. Crayons and candy in goody bags and you're all set for a memorable party! But don't put all the candy in bags, use some in clear glass vases on your table as decorations. Plan a visit to your local firehouse or arrange for a vintage truck to come give everyone a ride and you'll have kids screaming for more!
