The Faithful Merchant {GIVEAWAY!}
Honest. I didn't mean to leave you hanging with this teaser for a whole month:
I meant to do the giveaway before Christmas, but, well... Christmas. As much as we tried to keep the holiday season easy and simple this year, we had recitals, Christmas programs, rehearsals for those programs, caroling, cookie-baking, shopping, wrapping, parties, and on and on. {Incidentally, we've already decided we're going to start the 2017/2018 school year in early August, so we can take the entire month of December off. But I digress.} So...
{let's kick off 2017 with an exciting GIVEAWAY!}
First, allow me the pleasure of introducing you to The Faithful Merchant, a small, home-based business in Eau Claire, Wisconsin headed up by my friend Alyssa. When I first met her, Alyssa's family was moving to our local area, and we were introduced by a mutual friend. I wish I had gotten to spend more time with her before she headed back to Eau Claire. We had so much in common, I felt like we must be kindred spirits. We are both Jesus girls, homeschooling mamas to three boys (this was before I was pregnant with Theo, of course), and shared a connection to Eau Claire. (I earned my degree in Education from UW-Eau Claire.) Alyssa and her husband, Jon, work together as The Faithful Merchant to create inspirational, beautiful, and affordable handmade gifts, including pendant necklaces, key-chains, mugs, quote and family boards, totes, apparel, and more! Their vision is to make an impact through the things they are most passionate about: TFM, their faith, and health and wellness.
You can view The Faithful Merchant's products on their Facebook page. Their merchandise is very affordable (yay!), but you can save even more by hosting an online party. {It's so easy, and you don't have to clean your house or provide snacks!} I have participated in a grand total of TWO online parties ever, and TFM was super-patient with me when I was asking a ba-squillion questions. 🙂 I shopped during their online Holiday Party and got a lot of my Christmas shopping done. Check out my goodies!
{here's where you can get in on all the loveliness!}
The Faithful Merchant graciously provided one of their gorgeous pendant necklaces as GC&M's very first giveaway! As soon as I saw the tear-drop "choose joy" floral pendant, I knew it was the one. {Be still, my heart!} The Faithful Merchant customized the necklace for me by adding a dainty cross charm, because choosing Jesus is choosing joy, no? It is 30" long and all kinds of lovely.

So - I've liked both your page and the Faithful Merchant. I think my favorite saying is "She holds onto hope for He is forever faithful." I'm already subscribed to your blog updates. Which puts me at 4 entries.
Also - THANKS for sharing the Faithful Merchant! I'm always looking for unique, local(ish), religious gifts/prizes for my job. I will definitely be making some purchases!
Awesome! Thanks, Lea! Oh, I love that one too. You are so welcome! I'm so happy that TFM will be able to help you out! I know you'll be thrilled with whatever you purchase. 🙂
First off, Holy moly those designs are endless! Not to mention ALL super cool.
If I really had to pick one, I really like "Find Joy in the Ordinary". I'm ALWAYS saying, "It's the simple things." I so easily find joy in the simple ordinary things in life. Just fits me well 🙂
And for the record, I have 7 entries.
Keep it up girly! You're doing great!
