Wisteria!

This is such a great site!  I don't know if it is because of my design background, or if it is just a great site - or both?!
Wisteria offers such great things - from tabletop accessories, to bed & bath accessories, to furniture and everything in between! 
From what I can tell, they don't offer a gift registry so you'll have to make your wishes known other ways - be creative - I'm sure you can come up with something!
If you haven't taken the time to stop by, I think the time has come . . .

And, maybe it is just because I was "back home" visiting the Lake in Indiana, but I seem to be really drawn to the whole "coastal scene" . . . there is just something so summery and inviting about it - you be the judge - maybe you'll find it isn't just me . . .

Before you decide whether you like Wisteria or not, there are two places on their site you have to visit:

One - Their Blog

And Two - Audrey the Dog - Wisteria has to have a sense of humor if they dedicate a section to their mascot!

Hope you find you enjoy Wisteria as much as I do!

The Land of Nod . . .

If you are familiar with Crate & Barrel, then you will love The Land of Nod. 
As clean and refreshing as Crate & Barrel is for adults, The Land of Nod is as creative and fun for kids!  They offer such great items for kids rooms, playrooms, toys and accessories! 

They also offer a gift registry, so the next time you need to buy a gift, check out the registry, who knows the recipient may be on the registry list!

If you are not familiar with The Land of Nod, take a little time and take a little visual adventure, you never know what you might find!

The website is:  http://www.landofnod.com/

They offer everything from baby gear . . .

To Kid's Bedding . . .

To Toys . . .

 

And everything in between!

P.S. Don't forget about the registry . . . you can create one for you or check it for someone else . . . as they said, what the heck, "Go gaga"!

Back Home Again . . .

There is just something about coming "back home" to Indiana.  I think Indiana will always have a place in my heart.  You cannot deny the cool mornings, dew on the grass and the wonderful sunsets over the lake.  When I am back home, it brings me back to all the things I love . . . home grown tomatoes, Indiana sweet corn and fresh melon. 
Another Indiana "thing" I love, is a Ft. Wayne, Indiana company - Vera Bradley. I have always loved Vera Bradley designs.  In Florida, Vera Bradley items are not as easy to find - but in Indiana, Vera Bradley items are well known and found in many local shops.  You don't get the puzzled look from Sales Associates when you walk into a shop inquiring whether they carry Vera Bradley, they know the name like they know their own.
If you are not familiar with Vera Bradley, I suggest you visit their site.  You can also order online, if you are like me and do not live in Indiana.

The link to the site is:  www.verabradley.com

Vera Bradley items make wonderful gifts for your mom, sister or best friend!  At our wedding, I gave each of my bridesmaids a Vera Bradley cosmetic bag that included the necklace to be worn during our wedding.
