I Much Prefer Cartier...

While in NYC, we had to hit the shops on 5th Avenue, and after some extensive window shopping, I've decided I'm much more of a Cartier girl vs. Tiffany's. Just remember that next time you go to purchase me diamonds. :-)

But really, I had my first (yes I had two) encounter with a celebrity while in NY in Cartier. I was walking through the shop, drooling over diamonds and Cartier watches (which, by the way, you can buy great imposters for ten dollar on Canal Street) and I see this extremely tall man with a diamond panther ring on the end of his finger. I knew it had to be some famous basketball player, so I casually strode up beside him, tilted my head up and saw Patrick Ewing. He was saying to the sales lady, "and people actually wear these things?"

Then I casually stepped back and ran to find my neice who was on a mission to see someone famous while in the city. We found him back in the front room trying on a huge diamond-encrusted watch. Wow. And all I want is some really cute little studs. Patrick, if you're reading and need to make a diamond purchase, but just not sure what to buy, contact me and I'll send you my shipping address! ;-)

Star Wars Gift Bag Tags

Two years ago, for Walker's Star Wars birthday, I created Yoda tags to attach to the gift bags for the party. Little did I know these bag tags would become so popular on Pinterest! To date, these tags have been repinned almost 500 times!!! So I thought since there's so much interest, I'd add them to my Etsy shop . So now, for just $8.00 - you can receive the file electronically and print them for yourself! I jazzed them up a bit with some sliver glitter puff paint on the light saber and some silver ribbon to attach to the dollar store bags. Print as many or as few as you want! So, if you are planning a Star Wars party, check them out ! And may the force be with you!

Baby Shower Inspiration Boards

I got all excited about the baby shower inspiration board contest over at Sippycups Are for Chardonnay , but only ended up submitting this first one on time. I managed to pull the second together this weekend just for kicks and loved the colors, so thought I'd share here. The first board is call "Nesting Instincts" and the second is "Over the Rainbow". I think I could get addicted to creating these things.
