The New Chic Green Shopper

I am so excited about my new product. All handmade by me. The Chic Green Shopper! This is such a great bag! I am so excited about it because it's so green. This is a great shopping bag made of 100% organic cotton canvas, organic cotton is usually rain-fed, not irrigated, so it uses a lot less water. Organic cotton is grown without the use of pesticides and insecticides. The embellishments on this bag are made from vintage, recycled or scrap fabrics and materials only.
Crystals are genuine Swarovski Crystals. Holds up to 15 lbs. In the photo I have filled on up for you to see. I have two bottles of wine, bag of veggie chips, three boxes of pasta, 2 bags of pretzels and my all time favorite Martha Stewart Magazine! It still had room for more and it was very comfortable to carry. The best thing I can say about this bag is that you will look very sophisticated while shopping at the mall or in Trader Joe's.

These will be on sale for $23.00 or 2 for $40.00 at the big event this Sunday at the Ride the Coast event benefiting the Boys and Girls Club of Santa Ana. It will be held at Westfield Mainplace Mall in Santa Ana. This is a great cause benefiting kids and teens and it will be lots of fun. There will also be a motorcycle raffled off! Visit www.ridethecoast.com for tickets and information on the event. They will also have tickets on sale at the event.

The bags will be avaliable online next week. Send me your e-mail address if you would like a coupone code for a discount!

Wedding shower last Saturday

Last Saturday was my best friend Colleen's wedding shower. My mom and I were in charge of the decorations. Her sister Julie took care of the food. It was a great hit. We made a tower of flowers that looked a little like a wedding cake. Each flower container was the party favor that everyone took home. We also had a wish tree, everyone wrote their wishes to the bride and groom and we pinned them on the tree with pretty pearl floral pins. Julie did a great job on the food, we had little heart shaped sandwiches. It was a beautiful day for a beautiful bride to be! I will send more photos of Colleen when I get them from my sister. I was too busy to take pictures during the shower.

Flea Market Finds

My mom and I went shopping at the antique flea markets and found some great deals. I love the milk glass I picked up and the silver spoons. I also picked up a bunch of linens, I am a linen junky. I just love how beautiful the vintage linens are and how you will never find anything like them new. I picked up lot's of tea cup sets that I will be reselling as gift sets, stay tuned... I will take photos of them when I am done and post them on my website.

A Good Cause..

Today my Aunt Carol called me and asked me to help her out with something. She needed a unique table gift for a fundraiser. The fundraiser is for Bethany, a transitional home for women. They have an auction every year, all the women get together and each decorate a table for a wonderful lunch. Each table is different. The table seats 8-10 people. This year the table my aunt was helping out with was a Paris theme. I was thrilled to help. I made these fresh lavender bunches with a handmade Paris tag. I stamped the tag and hand glittered it. They smell soooo goood!

Vegas Baby!

Just a couple of weekends ago I went to Vegas to celebrate by little sisters 21st b-day! I am 14 years older than her. We had so much fun. I was so happy to be there to expeirence her first drink as the clock stroke midnight. She is really tiny and looks like she's 15 so it was good that the family went to validate her ID. I just wanted to share, here is our night out at Mesa Grill, really good food!
