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.

Everyone is drawn to something. I love cocktail umbrellas and festive toy embellishments added to drinks.I have little plastic mermaids that hang on the rim. Then there are the toys that hang by their tails: monkeys … cats, … elephants. But my favorite is the paper parasol… … and I do prefer pink. My first recollection of this delicate adornment was in my Shirley Temple when I was very young. We were vacationing in upstate NY and dining at a… [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]
“Becca + Jim” B-E-A-UTIFUL Hydrangeas! This was a picture perfect wedding and apparently an online magazine thinks so too.Southern Weddings magazine.

It is the wedding of my BBF’s (am I too old to use that term?) daughter, Becca. It was held in August and was absolutely spectacular. I… [Read More]
