Loving Lilly

{via}

I can finally talk about my love for the Spring Lilly Pulitzer gifts! Man- I have been looking at this since Thanksgiving and it really is the best release of patterns yet! One of my favorite items are their market bags- ADORABLE! Great for groceries or gift bags or for the pool! The sailboats is one of my favorite Lilly patterns that I think works for all store- even if you aren't close to the ocean or sailing lakes! Look for these bags in the stores in February!

Best Bella Yet

Have you seen the new Bella Ink release? Ah-mazing! Seriously I think that this is designer Melissa Danaher's best work yet (if that is even possible.) Every time I get a Bella Ink release in my hands I feel like a kid on Christmas morning and I can't wait to see what they have done! I think that the stork is my favorite baby invite of all time and ALL of the bridal invites were simply stunning! If you need to spend some money on stationery or invites I highly recommend you checking it all out- you won't be disappointed!

Confessions

{Bags by Sloane Ranger; retail $26}

I have been super busy getting ready for 2012 and I LOVE some new things that are going to premier at market this month. I have a confession that January and February are my 2 least favorite months of the year! I hate cold weather, being pale, and it getting dark so early. Luckily seeing all this spring product come my way I can think spring thoughts and get ready for a busy year! One of the products I love most are these new prints from Sloane Ranger! I think they are fresh and versatile! I think that would be great for college age girls, moms, or a great gym bag! I also think they would make great Bridesmaid bags (wink, wink)! Can't wait to share more new product with you guys!

Good Bye 2011, Hello 2012

Wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy, and very Loved 2012! Cheers!

Constructing a Card

Hi friends! I can't believe it is almost Christmas (and that I haven't blogged in a month!) We have a lot of exciting new lines coming in 2012 and I thought I would share the first of many new posts to come! R. Nichols is one of the cutest stationery and card lines out there. Nick starts every card by cutting out all of the pieces from construction paper and then assembling the cards- and he doesn't miss a detail! I loved seeing the originals and all the detail he puts into the cards! The use of bright colors, cities, dogs, and iconic figures is a sure bet to be hugely popular with customers!

Be Merry

And by "Be" I mean Cinda B. Wow talk about a line that has grown tremendously for me this year! I love Cinda B- it is the perfect gift for someone who has everything or loves to travel. I love that Cinda B is water proof, machine washable and stain resistant so you dont have to worry about it looking worn after a few uses (also makes it great for Moms!) I also love that Cinda B is made here in the USA! All the bags are also monogrammable! These are my favorite items for this Holiday!

Good Morning! Who is ready for Thanksgiving this week? I am making my pumpkin bread tonight for my Pumpkin Bread Pudding I am bringing! I have had a difficult time this year making a decision on a Christmas card. I love a good card card- no photo. Here are the cards that I love this year!
