You are in for a super adorable and oh so tasty treat today! The fabulous Sam of The Frosted Petticoat is hosting a Giveaway of  her gorgeous hand painted chocolate buttons that you can use as favors for your wedding! Before we get in to a bunch of details, let me show you some of her work…



You guys, all of that is chocolate!! As in you can eat it! But you almost wouldn’t want to. They would be gorgeous gifts for your bridal party, favors at your shower, or favors at your wedding! Imagine them packaged in a cellophane bag with a ribbon that matches your colors! Perfection. As a self-proclaimed favor hater (let’s get real, many times its just junk) I adore these and completely approve!

Sam also has a blog and it is by far one of my favorites. She has a talented for blending unlikely couples into gorgeous inspirations boards. As in… If Josephine Baker Married Benjamin Franklin:

The Frosted Petticoat is whimsical, fun, and gorgeous and that is exactly what they wanted from their chocolate favor line. Soooo let’s get to business. The lucky winner will get 500 chocolate buttons in Starlight White Glimmer.That is a $340 value my friends! How generous!

Wrap those little beauties up and your guests will LOVE you! Oh, you’re not planning a wedding? No big deal, these would be cute for any event! Baby showers, wedding showers, birthday parties, holiday gifts, etc.!

How do you win, you ask?

Sunday Spotlight: Emily’s Edibles

Happy Sunday my friends! Today I have a little treat for you and it involves tasty baked goods! For couples looking for a way to incorporate charity into their big day, Emily’s Edibles is a great option. Let me tell you a little bit about Emily first. Emily is an incredible baker- those chocolate delights above are her recipe. Emily also has epilepsy and has suffered from catamenial seizures for most of her life. Catamenial seizures are seizures caused by the onset of menstruation. In the 2 weeks proceeding her period she would have a seizure every 15 minutes. Various other things can cause seizures for her as well like bright lights or paint fumes. Emily was put on various drugs to help remedy the problem but that resulted in a failing liver. She received a liver transplant and now has to be on immunosuppressant drugs so that her body doesn’t reject her liver. Those drugs are deteriorating her joints and at the age of 52, Emily has had two  hip replacements and two knee replacements. She uses a walker and suffers from sciatica. Epilepsy has taken over many aspects of her life and made daily living much more difficult. It was her sister-in-law Jo Ann that wanted to do something to help both Emily and all women suffering from epilepsy. Emily’s Edibles was born to not only pay tribute to Emily’s love for baking but also to raise money. A portion of all sales is directed towards Epilepsy research. The best thing about Emily, says JoAnn, is that she doesn’t feel sorry for herself and despite all she has been through, lives joyfully and loves to help others.  Their specialties include Chocolate Delight, Marbled Fudge, and Chocolate Chip Cookies.

For your wedding, you can give your guests the gift of delicious baked treats all while giving those suffering from epilepsy the gift of hope.
