Fall 2008 What will you be wearing...

...I will be wearing all these. XCVI Womens line and others...



The brown and white ponchos are by Amo & Bretti and are on sale at www.artfulwears.com for $67.00 and typically retails for $135.00. Understated elegance & simplicity at its best.


Above and center is more of an artful poncho in turquoise hues, retails $305 and is currently on sale for $183.00 *white poncho is sold out.


Below and to the right is the stylish brown poncho in an asymmetrical cut, unfortunately its *sold out! : ( Its still exquisite.


The Loop scarves by Chan Luu are so versatile while keeping you warm and worth every penny. $68.00


The chic black button shirt with a twist, tuxedo inspired, yet very feminine for $102.00


I'm not typically a fan of skirts, especially long ones..perhaps my style has evolved? haha... I'd pair this teal skirt with dark brow n flat boots or uggs to achieve a comfy chic look. Also available in other colors $102.00



I'm an instant sucker for stylish cord pants with a yoga inspired fold over instead of the traditional buttons and zippers. Sounds fantastic for cold weather and lazy days. $89-112.00, *also available in drawstring a nd other colors.

Tutu Love



Tutus are more than just fun & cute. Holiday Photos, Dress-up, Birthday Parties, Gifts, Halloween, and Etc.

I have top quality Tutus for very low prices. Sizes range from Child Extra Small to Adult Extra Large. Prices start at $15.00.

I create ensembles for Plays, Dances, Gifts, and Theatres as well as Window Displays.

Please contact me for any information or advice.

Flower Power

Flowers...I can't have enough. Word to the wise, if your on a budget or looking to save money, some floral companies will sell bloomed rose buds at a very inexpensive rate. To achieve a simple rounded centerpiece just arrange roses in a short round or square container (many vases will work). Be sure to cut the rose stems under water while snipping off length, this will also promote longevity.

I personally avoid baby's breath as filler. There are many other fillers that provide a simpler and elegant look such as purple caspia, astor, queen anne's lace and greens. Sometimes roses themselves are all you need.

Bubblegum Nostalgia



The days of cake breath & grass stains...

My husband's childhood gumball machine.

I placed it on a console and found some of his elementary textbooks to add some nostalgia to our game room.

Wall Art - Like Dali


I needed some COLOR and decided to check out some surrealism. One of my favorite artists is S. Dali. This is piece is by Lyamkin Alexander and its titled "Lyrics."

It's elegant without the politically driven messages which inspired much of Dali's work. Instead, a lighter mood results with appreciation and great admiration.

Art in your Bathroom Sink!



Last year, upon a visit to Boyertown in Pennsylvania, we visited Taylor Bacchus Glass Blowing center and gift shop. I haven't been a huge fan of glass, however, these vessel sinks are some kind of wonderful.. I apologize for not being able to locate a website for Taylor Bacchus, but Art Glass Sinks also provide beautiful models as well. Vessel sinks sit above the counter unlike the traditional sinks, which are also available in a variety of colors and hand in blown glass.
