Let the deep organ swell the lay,
In honor of this festive day.
Let the harmonious choirs proclaim,
Cecilia’s ever blessed name.
This afternoon, after getting home from Mass, the girls had so much fun making a simple and sweet treat for the feast of St. Cecilia! We enjoyed listening to Cecilia, Saint of the Catacombs – The Story of Saint Cecilia to and reading a little more about this beautiful saint from Saints: Lives and Illuminations.
Can You Find Saint Cecilia?

Aren’t Rose and “Mia” so darling in their matching corduroy dresses?
The dresses arrived this week from Sew Sweet by Shannon and were sent as samples – along with some adorable Felt Breakfast Food – for hosting a giveaway here at Shower of Roses! (Thank you Shannon!)
Shannon is a 17 year old Catholic homeschool graduate who recently opened her shop over at Etsy! She offers modest clothing for girls and women, lovely tote bags, and much more! I immediately fell in love with all the beautiful and well-made items she sent and am already considering another dress for Rose (maybe in green?) and a couple of her tote bags for myself and oldest daughter.
Sew Sweet by Shannon has generously offered the following two prizes to the visitors here at Shower of Roses!
Please enter the giveaway below:
Cecilia with a two-fold crown,
Adorned in heaven we pray look down,
Upon thy fervent children here
And harken to their humble prayer.
Sancta Cecilia, Ora Pro Nobis!
the breakfast food 🙂
I couldn't choose just one favorite. I like the cupcake apron, the breakfast food, and the cute headbands. Rose and her doll look lovely in those dresses.
The KitKat keyboard is so perfect for this feast!!!! You always have such creative ideas. The dresses are just adorable on Rose and her dolly. I'd love similar ones for my little girl, the red in her shop is so pretty! Thanks for all the great giveaways!
The felt bowtie pasta is adorable!!
I LOVE the cupcake apron!!!! Sew cute 😉 The girls pink headband is really pretty too. Thanks for another giveaway and Rose looks adorable in the dress 🙂
The dresses are especially adorable!
Love your keyboard, what a great idea! Good luck to Shannon.
The tote bags on Sew Sweet are adorable.
I couldnt find the whit kit Kat…next year. We did donuts instead! Felt good is fun just bought a felt taco set! Yum!
LOVE all the felt food stuff!
The plaited head bands are gorgeous! But I am also a total sucker for a tiered girl's skirt! So hard to pick one favorite! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

Shannon does beautiful work…thank you for the giveaway!
There are so may adorable things, but I think my daughter would love the pink rose headband. Thanks for the giveaway and as always, for the great ideas to celebrate the saints!
The tote bags are lovely!
This is perfect timing! I've been looking for long "twirly" skirts for my girls and just couldn't find what I liked. Shannon has some lovely ones and she's been so helpful finding the fabric I like. 🙂 Thank YOU!! Of course, it'd be even better if I won something for myself. 😉
The felt food is super cute!
I have just the someone in mind who would love that chevron tote!

Cute ideas for the feast of St. Cecelia!
The tote bags and the head bands!
I love the pic of Rose and Mia.
Rose is so beautiful and I love her little dress and her sweet face looking at the St. Cecilia book!
I was also wondering if you've ever read or looked at this book on Our Lady of Guadalupe? I was just curious if is was good for young children. Thank you so much!

everything looks so cute but I really like the felt breakfast foods!
Maybe this is a silly question, but will I need to enter the giveaway in the "Rafflecopter" box above, instead of just posting a comment down here? Or will my name still be included by simply commenting? Sorry, and thanks. : )
Yes, please use the "Rafflecopter" box to enter the giveaway. It will collect your contact information for me so that I will be able to contact the winner. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment! You all are so blessed to have an FSSP parish 🙂
Hi Kari! No, I don't have that book, but I think Charlotte over at Waltzing Matilda might. I'm sure you could email her to ask about it. She gave our youngest some artwork by the same woman last Christmas.
Thank you! I love finding new catholic vendors on etsy!

Would love a chance to win! That play food is adorable.
