If you been reading my blog you should recognize this party girl. I love her and at least for the time being she is prominently displayed. I have given her a couple of quotes. The first one was:“I’ll have what she’s having”. ‘‘memba where that one came from?Rob Reiner’s mom?“YES! YES! YES!” You do! What can you come up with? I would love to hear your creative quotes.It’s Friday. Let the frivolous fur fly! Music to push the envelope by:… [Read More]
I received this lovely and thoughtful blog award from Suzanne. Thank you so very much for thinking of me!Her elegant blog is Shabby Chicks. When you step into her world, it is gracious and warm. What I have enjoyed the most since starting my own musings this past January is the network I’ve found among the smart and talented women who are kind enough to pop in and share a positive comment or two. This truly brightens my day. 🙂… [Read More]
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]

Remnants have been on eBay but it looks like it is back on a per yard availability.

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]
