Merry Christmas y'all...

Good morning y'all! So I totally just realized how I neglected my BRAND NEW blog, probably not the best thing to do while I'm trying to get new followers. (DUH Krystle!) First, I will start off by saying that the re-grand opening for my boutique has been pushed back two weeks...the re-grand opening will be on Jan. 16th. I've been so stinkin' busy with Christmas and enjoying my time off (first time in the year I've been open). Here is a lil' sneak peek of one of the new gorgeous "OTT" outfits we have coming. Modeled by my beautiful daughter (and spittin' image of me) Haylee! Photography by yours truly (I'm not a photographer, so please don't laugh).

In the midst of the holidays, I've also managed to reorganize my laundry room and coat closet and man oh man, was that a task! Seriously, every dryer eats socks...I'm completely convinced. If you know a way to trick a hungry dryer...please let me in on your secret. I managed to find about hmmm...15 matching pairs of socks while I ended up with about 21 pairs of odd socks. Can't even be an even number of odd socks so I can just mix them up and put the kids shoes on and HOPE that no one sees their mix match socks (I'm so guilty of this from time to time).

My mommy is going to be here Friday (YAY)! She always brings that good ol' "southern hospitality" with her. I love getting spoiled again like I was a baby with my mommy fixin' breakfast for me and letting me sleep in (my two babies think an early rise is a good thing).

Don't forget about the AWESOME ultimate giveaway my boutique is having! Check out this link right here to enter to win an amaaaazing surprise package worth $50 (USD). It's super simple to enter to win (just need about five minutes of your time, at most...promise). And it's worth it. I mean, who doesn't want the chance to win an awesome surprise package from Haylee's Boutique (hehe)? Enter to win here!

Psssst...here's a sneak peek of one of my favorite Etsy shops of all times... Mopheads. If you love southern charm (and if you live in the south already, I know you have it) then you must check Mopheads out. I will be doing a full blog featuring their awesome wreaths once I re-open but I just had to share a sneak peek because I'm totally in love with their wreaths. My favoritest (yes, that is a word y'all) 5th grade teacher introduced me to this shop which is located in the town I grew up in, Fayetteville, NC. Polka dots, zebra print, flowers, ribbon...oh YES, PLEASE! Click here to go directly to the listing for this absolutely beautiful southern boutique wreath!

That's all for today y'all. Hope y'all have a fantastic Monday and Merry Christmas!

FREE Haylee's Boutique Items? Heck yes y'all!

Hey y'all! Ok, so I am taking a three week "vacation" from my boutique...but those who know me know that I can't NOT work. I've been so busy slaving away cutting out satin circles and singing the edges to the point to where my thumb has a brown burn mark on it from holding the hot lighter so much (now that's dedication). SO, in anticiaption of the re-grand opening of my boutique, I am doing an "Ultimate Giveaway"! The surprise package will be valued at approximately $50.00 (USD). Simply click this link Haylee's Boutique Ultimate Giveaway to enter the giveaway.

I'm assuming since y'all are reading my wonderful blog that y'all are already following it...right? ;] (Psssst...if you are, that will help you out in completing one of the four steps to enter the giveaway!)

If you are another boutique (or other business owner) feel free to share this on y'alls Facebook, Twitter (which I still have no clue how to work), or your own blog. Heck, I think I can safely say I'm getting old when my little cousins know how to work Twitter and I don't. Sheesh...I just learned how to blog (I know, I know).

And even though my wonderful Etsy shop is on "vacation mode" right now, be sure to check it out and add my shop to your favorites! (Psssst again...if you already have AND you listened to me about following my blog, you are now good in two out of the four steps to enter the giveaway!)

So enough with my rambling...time for me to take a shower. Yay for napping babies! Tata for now y'all.

Y'all Ready...

Hey y'all! Super excited that y'all have found my blog. I'm just going to do a quick intro, for those of you who don't know who the heck I am. My name is Krystle and I'm the owner of an online Southern inspired boutique, Haylee's Boutique. I'm also a proud Marine wife (going on five years) and a mother to two VERY wild and crazy toddlers. You can sum it up quickly and easily... G.R.I.T.S (for those of you non-Southerners that means, "Girl Raised in the South")! My tea isn't right if it isn't cold and sweet (PS: sweet tea isn't made right if sugar isn't added when it's HOT!), my veggies are made with tons of butter, I shop at the grocery store with a "buggie", and I believe the word "y'all" should be added to the dictionary (it's already added to mine). And as a Southern boutique owner, I believe, "the bigger the bow, the closer you are to heaven"!

I can't wait to share some amazing Southern recipes with y'all and let y'all inside my little life as a mother, wife, and boutique owner. I'm not rich (by any means), I don't drive a fancy car (unless you call a G6 fancy), and I don't live in a fancy house (even though base housing isn't too bad here). I might say "y'all" and use the word "mines" but I'm one of the sweetest people you will ever meet (just don't make me mad) and I love to take care of everyone (it's that Southern hospitality instilled in me, thanks mom)! I hope y'all enjoy reading my blog and learning more about big bows, sweet tea, and a little bit of veggies with your butter. ;]
