The new Veras are here! The new Veras are here!



     I've had my eyes on this Vera bag for awhile now.  When I first saw her on the last page of the Spring 2010 catalog, I knew she had to be mine!  Yesterday I received email that they had just arrived and so a trip to Ben's Gallery of Gifts was scheduled for today.  I was a little surprised at her small size but decided that only added to her cuteness.  I cannot wait to begin using her.  I may wait until it warms up, though.  She seems to me to be more of a warm weather style bag.  Any opinions?

Valentine's Day 2010

     Yes, I am aware that I'm a bit late for this Valentine's Day post.  Look at what my darling Hubby sent me.  I've heard and read about Vermont Teddy Bears but never had one.  Well, now I do.  He came wearing his conversation heart pajamas, a tiny bouquet of pink velvet roses, and a chocolate bear candy bar.  Can you see the air hole in his delivery box?  I think it may be hidden by his arm.
     The flowers behind him are called "100 Stems of Love."  They're Peruvian lilies and they supposedly last for weeks.  Gorgeous!  I think my dear Hubby did good this Valentine's Day, don't you?
     We though about going to Outback for dinner that night, but the weather here was supposed to be pretty bad.  We decided to pick up a heart-shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's on Saturday and save it for our Valentine's supper.  I enjoyed staying home where it was safe and warm.
     The photo below is the china cabinet in out dining room.  It's been decked out in pink for a few weeks now.  I should have posted it when I first set it up, but I've been somewhat distracted lately.
  
     For those of you that know me personally, you know I've had Callie, my calico cat, for nearly twenty years.  On February 1st, I finally had to take her to the veterinarian to have her "put down."  I will post some of my favorite photos of her soon.
