Rifle Paper Co - She Found Her Passion

I'm loving Anna Bond and the Rifle Paper Company.  Her cards, stationery, notepads and invitations are so unbelievable creative and unique.

Take a peek at this video about her...what stands out the most:

She wanted to CREATE a business out of her PASSION of illustrations and art.  Now that's my kinda lady!

Happy Weekend!!

The 40 Something Fashionista

I've got to admit, I enjoy fashion.  There are some darn good looking outfits out there.  However, being a 40-something, there are just some outfits that one shouldn't wear even if they are some of the cutest pieces in the world.

So what is a 40-something to do?

Here are some options that would be oh so fab!

A little gift...

I just love this DIY.  It does require sewing...but I actually think I could do it.

It's a summer essentials bag - but I'm sure we could think of a reason to make a similar one for fall.
