Okay! Today we're starting a new tradition here at The Meandering Musings, and one that I think you'll enjoy.
I love giveaways and I really, really love winning free stuff. (Who doesn't?!?) It doesn't happen often but it always comes as a surprise when it does and brightens up my day.
So every Wednesday, I've decided we're going to throw a "I Wanna Win" Wednesday where you can come to find wonderful, terrific giveaways to enter and win!
SO... Do you have a great giveaway going on this week or know someone who does? In the Linky below, share your current giveaway or any great giveaways that you have discovered and explore (and enter to win) a few of the giveaways left by others.
After all, you can't win if you don't enter!

Today's shop is very eclectic, but I've found I really love what they have to offer and the way it's all displayed, it works together in a way that a lot of shops can't manage to achieve.
P
aradisePurls is a shop on Etsy ran by a wonderful woman in Cary, North Carolina who seems to be hard-wired in a much similar way to how I am, myself. She's extremely tactile, self taught and inspired by color!
Her shop is filled with baby beanies, scarves and even knitted jewelry to beaded bookmarks and more.
I'm personally really fond of the hand knit bracelets. I love it when I find something new that I've never seen before in my travels among shops in the handmade marketplace and these bracelets fit into this category.
The bracelets and, in fact, all of her items are filled with beautiful color combination and I loved the browse through a shop that has successfully managed to be eclectic without becoming haphazard.

I'm a sucker for Retro Chic. I can't help it, I love the designs and patterns and just... well, I just love it all. My mother sometimes wondered if I wasn't born in the wrong generation, because my tastes have always wandered towards the styles and fashions of old rather than new.
That's probably why I'm so intrigued by today's 
shop. I absolutely hate those "barbecue" style aprons they sell in today's market. I just don't like that style and it's just yuck to me.
Today's shop specializes in aprons, but not that newer style you see every grill slinger from here to hell and back wearing. Instead, the shop specializes in Retro Chic styles of bygone era and I LOVE them for it! Do you have any idea how long I've been searching for someone selling these style of aprons? Probably not, but trust me, it's been a very long and arduous search.
Sugar Pie Chic is filled with these beautiful pieces.
And, while design is important, quality also matters to the owner of this wonderful shop. All of her aprons are made from 100% cotton designer fabric and are made to last with double-stitching on stress points and quality materials that make these aprons not only pretty but durable and made for work.

Today I'm featuring an artist named Christen Strang who is a 23 year old graphic designer and runs the shop Letter Happy on Etsy.
I adore this shop. There's 
some of the most amazing prints, cards, tees and more there and so beautiful!
The shop is filled with items that have been printed with graphic designs, illustrations and typography quotes. So many beautiful sentiments expressed in creative ways in this shop, they're just amazing. They even have a couple of screen printed jersey scarves that are absolutely beautiful. I'm especially fond of the one in lavender with the ginkgo print.
She also has some adorable baby art prints that would be perfect for a nursery or to give as a gift at a baby shower. I'm sure you'll love this shop as much as I do, so be sure to stop by and take a look around.
