Goodnight Moon….
Did you wink at the moon tonight? That’s what the news agencies are asking this evening. America lost a very special hero today…someone who has done the unthinkable…accomplished a quest that will never be replicated. Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon, left us today at 82. An humble man, he shied away from cameras, saying his accomplishment was one of thousands, not just of his own. Seriously, think of all you’ve accomplished. All you could hope to accomplish in your lifetime… However, where do you go once you’ve walked on the moon? What do you...
Dear London, Thank You for a Golden Olympics! Love, The World
OK, so I know I can't speak for the world as a whole, but the spirit of the Olympics should. What a wonderful two weeks, hosted by my home-away-from-home, England. For those of you who don't know, my husband is a Brit...and I love England and everything about it (though Texas beef is better), so I can't help but be filled with pride for the amazing show London put on for the world over the past 17 days.

So...of course when my mom picked me up at school I asked where she was when she heard. She immediately answered that she was at school in typing class and how devastated everyone was. BOOM! That hit...

Fun With New Things
I had such a great time at the June 14th trunk show at the luncheon held for the ladies of Barton Creek Country Club. What a fun afternoon! Ladies shopping with champagne in hand...can't beat it. I met so many lovely people and really enjoyed myself. Looks like I'll be back there for a trunk show on July 31st and tentatively on July 3rd. There will also soon be several pairs of my earrings in their boutique, Eliza's. Barton Creek is my new BFF.I've been so busy working on new items for the shows and a few custom orders that...
