"Excuse me, miss? There seems to be a mistake. I believe I ordered the "large" glass of wine...Hello!"

Win­ter is here and what bet­ter time to start cozy­ing up to your favorite red! Today I’m shar­ing my beloved wine glass with you. Friends are always ask­ing me where they can get one. What makes it so spe­cial? It fits an entire bot­tle of vino!  I must con­fess I do not drink an entire […]

In Case Of Emergency Break Glass

Here is my lat­est idea on how to gift money other than stuff­ing an enve­lope with a check or cash. My co-worker was mov­ing away (sob, sob) and it wasn’t prac­ti­cal to bur­den her with more “stuff” to have to move. There was no doubt in my mind money would be the best gift. I […]

The Sweet Way to Give Money

  I’ve writ­ten a lot of posts on how to “gift money”. This is my lat­est idea with a sweet twist to it. Start by get­ting a box of See’s (or your favorite) choco­lates. Go to a store like Cost Plus that has nov­elty can­dies. Find any money themed choco­lates to add to your box. […]

Magnetic Wine Cork Planters

                  This lat­est cre­ation has been made by a mod­ern day Martha, my sis­ter, Colleen. Well, she’s a lot more hip than her, but you get the idea. It all started when she gave a friend of ours a bot­tle of wine for their 25th wed­ding anniver­sary. She […]

Do You Know What Day It Is?

Almost every­one has their cal­en­dars on their com­put­ers and phones these days. I am still a tad old fash­ion and always buy a new one for my office wall or desk­top. I admit I don’t use them for the func­tion as much as for the cool fac­tor for décor and at a glance pur­poses. Here […]
