We first laid eyes on the Christian Lacroix Haute Couture Note Card Set in Atlanta last summer! We immediately fell in love with the collection of note cards and notebooks by this celebrated French designer. They were supposed to arrive in time for Christmas and we were crushed when the manufacturer informed us that wasn't to be. It's said that patience is a virtue and ours was rewarded this week with the arrival of this exquisite order. The cards are just so beautiful, it puts me in the mood to go home, put some Edith Piaf on the ipod & write a long letter to a cherished friend.

I think Danielle's display of some of our new Cyberoptix Ties is inspired! Displayed on the devils are Chastity (in black) and Lust (in red). Designer Bethany Shorb bills her line as Ties That Don't Suck and comes up with some of the coolest designs we've seen. Believe me, people do a double take when your guy strolls in sporting one of these bad boys.





Look at these itty bitty bathrobes! How cute are they? Made from the absolute softest cotton plush, they monogram great. Can't you just imagine a cutey patootie all snuggled up in this after bath time? There are even little animal slippers to match!

Have a great weekend!

It's all Cake....Baby

I had a bit of a frustrating start to the week. I went down to my car on Valentine's morning only to find that my driver's side window has been smashed and my ipod (which was actually hidden from sight) had been stolen. Oh...great, it's Valentine's Day & I don't have a boy and now I'm missing a window and an ipod.....poor me! At the beginning of this year, I gave my best friend Pamela and myself Gratitude Journals and challenged us both to write in them each day. It's pretty amazing when I take 5 minutes at the end of the day and write down things that I am grateful for that day, how it can totally change my attitude. So even on this day that was less than perfect, I was able to be grateful for the fact that I have a car to drive to a job that I love and that while I am currently not dating anyone special, I have the most wonderful friends and family who help make my life amazing. What a cool attitude adjustment!


Danielle has started making diaper cakes that are spectacular! Available in Small, Medium, Large & Grande, they can be customized for a boy or girl, and she can also incorporate many of the baby gifts we sell at the store into the design of the cake as well. These make wonderful centerpieces for baby showers and the diapers can all be used once the baby makes it's entrance.

Fabulous new robes for the Bride To Be. Customize them by putting her name on the front and having the most unique gift at the shower.

Long Time No See

Sorry that I've been lax on the blog front lately. January seemed to rush by in a blur with a week spent shopping in Atlanta and then a few days in Long Beach to learn more about Bella Barudan, our embroidery machine. Add to that the fact that it was time for Danielle & the Captain to send out their "Save the Date" cards and it was a busy month. Actually, in addition to the cards, they included a linen cocktail napkin that we embroidered with their initials and wedding date. We can get these linen napkins in a bunch of different colors and embroider them for any occasion.

You know that the Curtsy Girls love tiaras! We would wear them every day if we could get away with it. That's why we were thrilled to find a new source for all things tiara! Not only do we have this sparkly, pink Birthday Girl, we have tiaras for all the major
b-days 21, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 & 100. Too fun!!



"What in the World Did I Do Last Night"? That's the phrase uttered by Bachelorette Party Attendees on a regular basis. This nifty little book has more than 55 games for Sassy Bachelorette party fun. Perfect to play in the limo while sipping champagne and giggling!



Valentine's Day is upon us. A fun gift for your one and only Truth or Dare is a couple's game of passion. Dim the light, draw the curtains & let go of your inhibitions. So much more fun than dinner and a movie!
