Totable Tumblers are here! Tervis Tumblers (my fav glass du jour, filled to the brim with ice every du jour) has been paired up with Scout totes. The insulated tumblers are pink patterned on the outside and green patterned on the inside. If you click on to the site you’ll be able to see a close up that I wasn’t able to upload. Now the only question is… Large Tumbler Tote ($75)or Small Tumbler Tote($35) Love them both!

Because it’s dark earlier I want more accent lighting around the house to cozy up the casa. I love the way this photo is accessorized with the pairing of the heavier tartan on the clear lamp base. The weight of the fabric pattern is made lighter by the variegated roses and white book jacket with red lettering. The white back drop is perfect. So fresh.Williams~Sonoma Home.

Because I am an ardent fan of most music genres (I draw the line at heavy metal) I am starting to think about what tunes I will be serving for Thanksgiving. I’ve put together some samples for you to taste. When guests arrive I like to have something upbeat and a sound they might be familiar with so I’m beginning with Vince Guaraldi. We all know Vince’s sound. To me, he is synonymous with autumn and Charlie Brown.I am playing… [Read More]
I love desk calendars and organizers and I believe a choice of one can be very insightful to where we are in our lives. My first one was the Sierra Club Engagement Calendar week-at-a-glance. ($13.95) I was young and green. Every week was an inspiring, beautiful picture. There were some off years that weren’t note worthy.I was in the ad business and proving myself. A Day Timer here, a Filofax there. Very professional. Very official. Very boring. Soon thereafter I… [Read More]

When I got up to the cashier she said automatically, “Did you find everything you needed?” I said deadpan, “No, I couldn’t find the pumpkins. You didn’t have any in the store.” She stopped what she was doing and just looked at me like I was the most dimwitted person she had ever met. If I could have kept a straight face she would have had a great story at the end of her shift.
My sorority sister once told me of a guy who was hitting on her and uttered the titled phrase in a thick foreign accent in one complete sentence and breath. Insincerity was never so charming. It became a catch phrase between us. I’ve found some products that sincerely can have an impact on beauty.Yes, yes, really!
