Who Am I? February 25, 2007
I am the mother of two really stylish girls, the wife of a sometimes style challenged husband (but he is really handy ~ love you Mike), and the owner of two beautiful dogs. I love the thrill of finding fun, cheap, or just plain silly stuff - and I love sharing what I find!












Thank you for saying that Riley and I are stylish!
(This is also from Ri Pie too!)
Maddie & Riley….you guys rock!!!
I will definitely check out some of these fine ideas.

Katy
This is a really neat site with a lot of cool ideas!!!
Tx for all the great ideas. You should be very proud of yourself. Aren’t all men usually stylish challenged? Mike, your not alone. But I must say my hubby, who is a professional musician, has style. Let me know if you need some tips…
Thanks Pinkie (my favorite color!) I might have to steer him your way.
Katy: I live in the Athens area and work near Gwinnett Place Mall. I have searched and searched for the Mrs. Miers cleaning supplies but withouot success. Can you tell me where I can find them. I do not the Atlanta area very well so any easy to get to places will be most appreciated.
Thanks.
Barbara,
I just found them at Cost-Plus World Market at the Mall of Georgia - I hope that is close to you!!!
Hey, stranger! It has been a really long time!!! I would love to hear from ya. Love your blog.
Katy
I heard your report yesterday on Bath Junkie. I am so glad that you and your girls had a good time. Let me know if you are going to do a party with us. We would love to have your girls be a part of the V.I.B. Take care
I just saw your website and it is great! I actually bought 2 of the Brugo coffe mugs! Wish I still lived in Atlanta to hear your show!

Hi there, Thank you for putting my needlepoint ballet flats on your blog. How did you find me? I have many preppy products including monograms. Ladies love my golf headcovers too. I would love for you to feature more of my products. Let me know if you would like a pair of ballet flats too! I also have some new monogram pillows that will be on my web site soon. http://www.bypaige.com

This is a great idea.

Labrador Friends of the South, a Labrador Rescue gets a lot of dogs from shelters that are strays. It is such a great idea to have all that info in one place and on the dog. For the people that really care to get there dogs back, this would help that happen. Even though most of the dogs that are turned into animal control have no collar and/or not microchip.
We get a lot of calls from people they found a lab somewhere across GA and can’t find the owner. This is another piece of info that can help the dog finds it family again.
I know, I will be buying them for my Personal Labs.
If you guys know anyone interested in getting a Labrador please send them our way.

Labrador Friends of the South was listed in the Top 5 Rescues to Adopt from in the Atlanta Mag June 2007 Issue.

Hey Katy
I saw your monogram on the back of your car window at church today. Where in the world did you find that? I have to have one, too!! I love all things monogrammed.
Thanks for a fun website.

The cute monogram on the back of my car is from my friends at the pink monogram! http://www.thepinkmonogram.com …everyone should have a monogrammed car!
Thanks so much for including a link to my coral necklace!

the onesole is an awesome idea. I travel alot and hate paking all of my shoes and now I won’t have to.

Thanks

There is a store in downtown Acworth that sells the onesole shoe. I forget the name of it but it is close to the Teacup Cottage.
The name of the store is Southern Expressions!
Hello Everyone,
I am a golfer myself and I like to play whenever I get a chance.
A short while ago, a very good friend of mine told me about a great golfing equipment and accessories website that has discounted prices on all their products, same day shipping in most cases and there is no state sales tax, they are paying that.
So if any golfer here is ready to save some money on quality products at highly discounted prices, you might want to check out their site at; http://hoffmangolf.com
Here is another freebie site…not sure if you used this one before:

Hi,
Yes, we know another monogram website…but we couldn’t help ourselves! We closed our brick and mortar store in NJ last year when one of us had a surprise new edition. It took us a while, but we finally got our e-commerce site up and running.
We wanted to suggest our monogrammed mules, Tag-its!, monogrammed travel mugs and embroidered napkin clips to you. (Along with all of our other great embroidered monogrammed products-our baby gifts are big hits!) Please let readers know they can enter coupon code: KATY at checkout to receive 20% off their entire order from now until 8/31/07.
Thank you!
katy,
would love to be a part of your snappy blog!
‘plain jane’ (pjcarrot.com) is a new site for paper lovers who want fresh designs for their personalized stationery and invitations. check out the ‘tiny tale’ for each design.
i’m delighted to customize orders if i can - just doubled up a pirate design for a mom of 3-year-old identical twins, and created red hair on a design for her 6-year-old son. i love making life easier for moms, brides and busy gals! (check out my fun ‘ms. golf’ design in the ‘his & hers’ section.)
thanks, katy! jane
Katy,
Just wanted to let you know that I love listening to you every Thursday on Kicks. Your site is great, you seem to find everything anyone could need or want. Thanks again.
Katy,
Do you have any food suggestions for diabetics?
I will look into food for diabetics…Do any other readers have any suggestions for Dean?
This is for any southern girl. It’s a great site and wonderful books for sale. I love your show and website. Thanks for the great ideas.
I love your website and advice. Just wanted to let you know about a great sale that is coming up. It’s a new seasonal concept (similar to the childrens sales, but it’s for adult items) we are introducing to Atlanta. Please check it out and let me know what you think. I’d love to hear you mention it on your show (which I listen to every wednesday and love)! Please let me know if you’d like to talk more about it after checking out our web site!

Just thought you would want to know that I was interested in the watch you “profiled” today on the radio - Suunto X9i . . . went to their website. Was considering purchasing for my hubby as a Christmas gift and questioned them about return policy. They were not very nice in the on-line chat I had with them. Actually told me NOT TO PURCHASE unless I was SURE that my husband would like it. So essentially turning away a customer about to spend $500. Not very customer oriented. Won’t purchase from them.
Hi Katy.
“L” said I should let you know how great I think Electra’s Monograms is/are. The owner of the company answered the phone when I called to place an order and we had a great chat. I bought a monogram for my mailbox and just love it. The only problem is my mailbox needs a coat of paint before I put such a gorgeous initial on it. I am going to revisit the web site and see what else I can’t live without.
Do you have any good places to look for milestone birthday gifts, like for 30, 40? It’s time for some big bdays for my friends, and we’d love suggestions on cool gifts that they’ll like AND that they might want to keep.
BTW, just got turned on to your blog–what are you in training for?
Katy:
This morning on Kicks you mentioned chocolate holiday cards, but I don’t see them on your site. Will you remind me where you ordered them? I love your site and your ideas! Thanks.
Hey Cathy…I was referring to the candy bar wrappers. I had mine printed up just like holiday cards…we will be giving them out just like we would pass out holiday cards.
Katy,
My daughter and I listen to you every Thursday morning on the way to school and work. We love what you do. Keep up the wonderful work.
Awwww…thanks for listening Kim!! You made my day
Hi Katy,
You have an absolutely fabulous blog! I don’t know i you ever take a look at websites but I really think ours is pretty unique. If you have a minute - let me know if you think it would be of interest to your readers.
Thanks so much Katy!

Love your site Katy!! I pass many a slow day at work surfing your site and I can hardly wait for Wednesdays so I can check out the freebies!!! I got the best toboggan from one of your free links!! Thanks so much and keep up the good work!!!
Katy, I wanted to thank you for buying and telling your readers about our product, MyVitalFiles! I’m thrilled that you liked the file system. We received some orders as a result of your posting! If you have any feedback, I’d love to hear it! Thanks again!
I love your blog! A lot of your suggestions went under the tree this year at my house for family and friends(and some for me). I was wondering what happened to Radio Thursdays though?
What happened to Kicks on Thursday morning?
Just wanted to say thanks for putting one of my candles on your site!!
Cheers,

Thanks.

Hi neighbor! Great website! I found your card in my wallet and signed on… I’ve been browsing all morning.. and signing up for the freebies…. I have to stop by to see what doormat you purchased (for shizzle!) LOL … and yes, her husband Mike is very handy and helpful - and like a good neighbor, Katy willfully lends him out to assist with everything that breaks down at my house - especially the pipes while I was out of the country!!! thanks!!!
