I met with lovely Michele, our local Vera Bradley rep last week and she showed me the Metropolitan travel bag. *LOVE*!!! Lady Kate, my best friend from college, and I, met for lunch at the Mission Viejo Mall where we ventured into a store with a plentiful VB collection. Lady Kate, who is a Congressional wife, travels to DC frequently for extended stays so I wanted to introduce her to the Metro bag. I knew it would be perfect for… [Read More]
If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile you know bracelets are a passion of mine. Unfortunately, I can’t say no very easily. My friend found this pave linked bracelet on J. Crew. She is what I would call my ‘jewelry enabler’. And I love her for that.
Little $18 promotional Vera Bradley jewelry cases called ‘All Wrapped Up’.*LOVE*They were very difficult to find round these parts as not every VB retailer carried them but they are as cute as can be as in ‘adorable’ and ‘girlie’ and ‘you’ve got a find one and make it your own’. Definitely worth the hunt if you can still find them even if perhaps they have gone back up to $28. Up close and personal~ A magnet keeps the compartments stationary… [Read More]
The preliminary names are in for my spin-off baking/cookie blog and I’ve gotta tell ya, I’ve got some mighty clever and creative blogging friends (and FB friends) out there.I’ve put together a list of everyone’s wonderful suggestions (well, almost all of them) for you to vote on because I can be too easily swayed by a pun or play on words when I’m giggling. Yep, I’m that easy. Of course, I don’t know what name is already taken in the… [Read More]
Your wit and cleverness just might be, well, the key! I’d like your help in suggesting a name for my new baking/cookie blog which is in the works. Can you think of something memorable and fun?I bet my cupcake cups you can! It’ll be fun. When I have enough of them I’ll post a poll and we can choose together. I just thought of one ~“Baking My The Seat of My Pans” But I’m just flying by the seat of… [Read More]
I must confess.I’m watching the Beverly Hills Housewives franchise this season.I didn’t mean to, honest, but I was bewitched by the jewelry. Particularly by the emerald earrings Kyle wore. I can’t even believe I dare to name one of the characters on my blog. This is where jewelry will take me. These are the earrings that fueled my weakness.Did you see how gorgeous they looked against Kyle’s dark hair?Faux.No doubt like many other “accessories” on the show, if you know… [Read More]
Yesterday I got an email from Martha Stewart. Well, sort of. My banana cookies photo was chosen to be a featured photo on Dreamers Into Doers on marthastewart.com. I don’t know how it was chosen, could be random for all I know, but it was fun yesterday telling my family members Martha and I were BFFs!! HA! Seeing my photo on Martha’s site…“It’s a good thing”. Have a good weekend, friends.Next week I promise something besides banana cookies!
Hello friends! Thank you for your patience while I attended to real life last week. I had a huge list to accomplish and I got all of it done except one! I’ve also been rockin’ the new year with 2 – 4 hour lunches with girl friends and today’s included 3 martinis! By 5 o’clock we even contemplated ordering appetizers for dinner accompanied by another martini. I felt so decadent.I’ve had a great year so far. I hope you have… [Read More]
