It's A Wrap

Every year in December I venture out to Greensboro along with my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and neices to a fabulous jewelry and accessory show for the trade. It's a huge room full of vendors selling sometimes tacky, mostly gorgeous jewelry, scarves, bags and accessories at wholesale prices. Women that are buying for their small boutiques and gift shops show up with huge roll-away bags that they drag from booth to booth trying to find the latest fashion trends.

This year I spent most of my time in line, so I didn't get to see everything I wanted and I could kick myself for not purchasing one of the cutest things I saw at the show - one of these adorable head wraps, modeled by Mike's niece here (while it was snowing!!) I think she paid maybe $7.00 for it and it wraps around you head and buttons in the back - how cute is this?? (And how pretty is she????)

I'm not sure of the company that made the one above, but I was able to find some similar ones online at Etsy. They don't have as much embellishments, but they are still pretty great.You can also put them around your neck for a cozy neck wrap. They would make a great Christmas present for just about any female in your life. It's a fun and different way to snuggle up and still be stylish!

Anyone have one of these? Where did you find it? Has anyone seen them in the department stores yet? Even better - anyone tried to crochet one on their own? I'm tempted to give it a whirl...but I haven't crocheted in years.

  3. I don't have one (yet), but saw them at several stores in Old Town Spring - a unique shopping area in Spring, TX (just north of Houston), they are quite cute and this is from a girl who normally NEVER wears hats!

Happy Pills

I'm a crazy person. At least, that's what I feel like some times. And it runs in my family. No, not really crazy (and don't take offense if you are one of me), but just clinically depressed and filled with anxiety. It's as if I don't have something to worry about in my head constantly, then I don't feel normal. Luckily, there's a pill for that. It's a bitter pill, one that I'll basically have to take the rest of my life, but I've slowly accepted that it's like any other disease, and just like diabetes or heart disease, that little pill is gonna make me better. But that little pill makes me gain weight, gives me the brain shivers when I miss it, and although I've tried to get off it multiple times, I just can't. So I guess that makes me an addict as well. But it's a pill that my grandparents and family didn't always have, and they suffer from it as well, so I should be thankful for this little red capsule of happiness...
