Today is my birthday and I am celebrating because for the last 6 months I thought I was going to be a year older than I actually am! Unbelievable, yet true so I’m having a “Special One Day Only give-away“while I still remember I am having a birthday!!! Finding this blogging community has added so much sparkle to my life that I’d like to give you something that sparkles in return. I have been eying this crystal heart key chain… [Read More]
If you’ve ever rented a bicycle on the island chances are you rented one from Young’s Bicycle Shop. I love the look of natural baskets on bikes. Since last going to Nantucket a couple years ago it has been my intention to order one and since it wouldn’t look good on a mountain bike, I’d like to use it to hold incoming mail in my laundry room. Just a little piece of the island where it’s least expected. European Market… [Read More]

“I’m so pretty and witty and bright. And I pity any blogging girl who isn’t me tonight.” ~ West Side Story (sort of) Notice anything new? I got a face lift for my birthday month! SJN of Tales of a Golf Gal surprised me with a cute and perky new header. I feel 10 years younger. I love, love, love it! Thank you! 😀
The first Sonic in South Orange County has opened. I have never been to one and have only seen the commercials on TV. This one is on a lot the size of a postage stamp and people are so enthralled with it that they are parking two streets up in a Target lot, walking to this place and standing in line outside of the restaurant. For any SoCal gals out there in the Pasadena area there will never be another… [Read More]
With Teacher Appreciation Week over and my platters still needing to be picked up from the luncheon, I’ll be heading back to the high school one more time, the last as a parent. After weeks of semi-silent complaining to ‘just get it over with’ from being weary of concerts, banquets, award ceremonies, quick dinners and if shirts and tuxes were cleaned and pressed I now want everything to slow down, stop and just hold this moment in time. Having all… [Read More]
I just love Nantucket and since I’ve written about my love affair before I’ll spare you the wonderful details but whenever I find something related to my special island it captures my attention. This Ralph Lauren tote is a collaboration between RL and the Nantucket Historical Association (NHA) to restore the Gardiner’s Compass Rose Mural which is from the 1930’s and happens to be located on the side of the RL store. All proceeds from the sale of the tote… [Read More]
