I used this to take pictures of my daughters soon-to-be Etsy Shop product!  I already had a dresser under a window, and a sheer in the window to filter the light, so this process was very easy for me!

I was inspired by this outfit, again, the idea of a summer piece (dress) made warm by adding leggings boots and a scarf.

We went out of town this weekend to beautiful sunny Arizona.  It was a conference for the organization my husband works for.  I needed a way to store my bobby pins and this simple solution did the trick!

I  kept this pin in my brain throughout the week.  It brings the reminder of contentment and the “why” of the wellness of my soul!

Thanks to everyone who sponsored New Nostalgia in February. The sponsorship kick off was a success and so fun to see new names and faces in my sidebar! March will be just as exciting with even more sponsors on board. If you’re interested, there are a few more spots available for $50. 

I’m currently averaging 500,000 viewers a month…wow I feel blessed! With this in mind, sponsorship (buying ad space in my sidebar) will send some of those viewers your way.

HOW DO I SIGN UP?

Send an email to sponsornewnostalgia@gmail.cowith “Count Me In for March” in the subject line. 

WHAT IF DON’T HAVE AN AD DESIGN?

No problem, I have the hook up. Check out Kathy over at Nudge Media, her ad designs make you want to click on them and if you mention my name, Kathy will design an awesome ad for your shop or blog for only $20.

HOW WILL IT BENEFIT ME?

Here are a few statistics (as of January). 

• 500,000 pageviews per month
• 3,600 subscribers via RSS, Google Feed Reader, and Bloglovin’
• over 1500 followers via Google Friend Connect

Last week’s goal was to accomplish 3 pins from Pinterest!  
Here are the 3 I did:
I used this outfit as an inspiration to mix it up with my wardrobe.  It was fun pulling out a white summer lacy tank in the middle of winter!  I didn’t wear open toe shoes, but I did wear bright red shoes, inspired by the pop of color in hers.
I have these Balsamic Roasted Carrots and Brussels in my oven right now as I type.  I already snacked on the outer leaves of the brussels that roast quicker than the rest.  Oh. My. Yum.
Ok, so I’m cheating here a bit, since it is my own pin that I just pinned!!  Hee hee.  I DID make it though, in celebration that this 5 Minute Lemon Basil Guacamole Dip won $100.00 in Avocados From Mexico recipe contest.  Pretty cool, huh?

Did you hear that New Nostalgia is now accepting sponsors?  
I am so grateful for the support you all give and your choice to read my words here at New Nostalgia.  I have thought long about having sponsors and really feel like it is the best decision for this blog and for our family.  Adding sponsors will enable me to pay someone to do much of the administrative type work a growing blog demands, and will free me up to do what I love, which is share life with all of you through my writing.  It is an amazing way to help support our little family, and I THANK YOU all, for without you visiting and reading, that would not be possible!

To kick off sponsorship, I am offering the price of $50.00 for a 250×125 ad. I hear this is quite the deal due to my current statistics:
Current Statistics (as of January 2012):
600,000 pageviews per month
3,490 subscribers via RSS, Google Feed Reader, and Bloglovin’
1493 followers via Google Friend Connect
1289 Facebook Friends
5919 followers on Pinterest

I would love to have you tucked into my sidebar along with the others, so if you are interested in sponsoring New Nostalgia,  e-mail Robyn at sponsornewnostalgia{at}gmail{dot}com.
