I would like to plan a trip to Boston where my college boy is in attendance. At this time of year I begin to ache for a hug and a visual. Besides my plan for some exchanges of squeezes which are probably in direct contrast to any child’s plan when their parent comes to visit (fitting me in if he has to but will oblige for a couple of non-dorm meals), I am hoping to experience falling snow. This puts… [Read More]
“Disco Dots” – ‘Sorbet’ by Michael Miller I have been eyeing this fabric for some time ever since I first saw it over a year ago. Remnants have been on eBay but it looks like it is back on a per yard availability. I have seen the pattern in wrapping papers and used for a small ring pillow for a wedding in a blog somewhere but I am once again feeling the need to make it my own. Perhaps a… [Read More]
Tres Tray Chic tagged me for a bag expose’.Thank you! At first I thought, “How exciting! My first tag!”Then I kind of panicked. I emailed my friend and said to her,“What if it’s like taking a peek inside a lingerie drawer expecting to find all Victoria’s Secrets and instead you find the white granny panties with the elastic thread hanging and holes from where you use your thumbs to pull them up.” Do not ask how I know this.

… but these make me wish there was! “It’s raining… it’s pouring…” I think our ‘rain season’ (a week’s worth spaced over 3 months) is quickly coming to an end but these are so darned cute!To be honest, I wouldn’t even know how to wear them, but I love ’em! I just received my L.L. Bean catalog for women and they are featuring many preppy, east coast flavor, nautical, pink and green items.So fun to armchair shop! Music to splash… [Read More]

…there was a shining star…No, this is not Darth Vadar. It’s Shiseido’s “The MakeUp” Pre-Makeup Cream with SPF 15 and it is the BEST.I had received a small sample from one of my “Happiest Places On Earth” (Nordstrom) and immediately bought the real size. I have always disliked that icky, greasy, and heavy feeling of sunscreen on my face so I have rarely used it but FINALLY I have found one I can use every morning. Since it is also… [Read More]
Please excuse the alliteration but I have a penchant for pretty pink purses. My new Lilly tote came in and it is very nice. I don’t know if I love it though because it is very big. The print bag was a nice surprise. I am figuring the duo is a “two-fer” because I love the print as much as the shiny bright color. Here is a snap of the lining. Love it!I hadn’t even taken the tissue off the… [Read More]
At Pantone the Spring ’09 colors are blooming.Salmon Rose is on the pallet. It looks similar to the Sunset Pink at Vineyard Vines. Here is a cute cardigan in Sunset Pink from VV. Pink and green are also showing up in jewelry. Kate Spade has enameled bangles. Each one has their own hidden idiom.For pink – “Tickled Pink”. For green – “The Grass Is Always Greener”. Cute! And these….
