Handbag Love

I admit... I love handbags/purses/carryalls.. whatever you prefer to call them. To me, they are purses, and my passion. One of the best gifts I received is a day-at-a-time calendar that featured purses. Every day I get to see some of the most beautiful and amazing handbags. But not just current handbags... nope, the pictures encompass every era, from the 1890's to current day.

Not only are the pictures gorgeous, but I learned that there is a handbag museum! The Sackrider Museum of Handbags is a virtual online museum that is "dedicated to collecting, interpreting, educating, preserving, and presenting a unique and diverse history of handbags to the public." What they don't mention is that the pictures are glorious, the stories are fascinating, and you can surf for days and still be enthralled.

Did I mention I love purses!?!?!

Sneakers

One of my favorite bloggers is Garance Dore. She has the most amazing blog, where she shares her photos, videos and illustrations. 

On her blog today she is talking about sneakers! I never really thought alot about sneakers, but I am now! I guess I'm a bit conflicted... I like a high top, but nothing beats a nice sleak sneaker. Look here for more thoughts on sneakers.

The color of the season... Green!

Green is the color of the spring! From the grass turning from brown to a lush green to the latest
fashions, green is everywhere. With so many shades and nuances of green, many of us shy away from full on green yet we want to be fashionable. That's where accessories come into play. I love green but am not quite ready for a green suit... so I found these beautiful Isaac Mizrahi scraves. One of them is in a stunning floral pattern and the other is a gorgeous stripe. Check them out here. They are fabulous, light weight, and perfect way to wear green.

Treat yourself to something delicious... Yonana!

Do you like ice cream? Do you like ice cream but are a bit lactose intolerant? Do you like ice cream but want to eat healthy? Then I have the best thing for you...


Yonanas Ice Cream Treat Maker...

But it's not ice cream. Crazy, I know! My niece turned me onto this amazing little gadget. It's a frozen treat made from frozen fruit... no milk or cream is used.

 
How does it work? So glad you asked...

You freeze bananas as well as other fruit. You can use pre-frozen fruit or fresh fruit that is frozen. You put a whole frozen banana into the machine, then add other frozen fruit and... Voila... a frozen treat that tastes just like ice cream. Only better. And remember... no cream or milk or preservatives are used. Only frozen fruit! Yum! You'll love it, your friends will love it, and any kids in your life will love it.

Welcome to the Finer Things for Us

Ah… the finer things in life. Don’t we all deserve them? Absolutely! The finer things in life don’t have to be expensive… you’ll find that they fit into your budget and your life (and lifestyle). They range from a cup of Earl Grey tea on a Saturday afternoon watching the geese with a good friend to getting an “I love you” from a 6 year old great-niece to a handbag that makes you gasp with pleasure.

We are excited to start this journey with you. It is a culmination of a dream that has been percolating for many years. We look forward to talking to you, learning with you, and discovering the finer things for all of us.
