Paper hats are cool and cooler for hot, humid weather

Hello!

I was introduced to paper hats, and not of the partying sort, several years ago by a national company. I did not know they were made of paper, initially. At first glance, they appeared to look like any of the other summer, straw hats I had tossed on the bed posts. We are; after all, here in the Sandhills where it is warm as often as it is not. And, where it can become hot and humid too during the summer months. Upon further inspection, I noticed the Made of paper tag. I immediately thought "Cool, and cool-er!" And they turned out to be exactly that. I had never come into contact with paper clothing before, and immediately decided that I liked them. And just think, they are not really new at all. I wonder what it would take to get them back on the market in quantities that would make it worth somebody's while. I am thinking out loud here. That would be incredible... 

Clothing and such can be made from almost anything, wouldn't you agree? Stay tuned...

The Wedding of the Year has come, and gone! Sign. It was sooooo nice! Let the look-a-likes begin! Of course, they are for less! Flattery will get you to some places!

I've worn through the handles of one straw purse already! It's either fix the handles, or begin looking for another one. I think I will fix the handles...

Fruit pie, cobbler and tart season is here! Yes, indeed!

Shop, and save; this weekend, especially at ASOS! 

Give; and let give, to the Rita S. Wilson Memorial Scholarship! Thaaaaank you!

As of  today, there are 3 more days left until:  Memorial Day, Monday, May 28, 2018!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Shalom!

The countdown is on until Harry & Meghan say "I do!"

Hello!

And I don't know who is the most nervous: all of us, or the two of them! Probably us!

It's hard to not get excited about a wedding, 'ya know?  But a royal wedding? Oh me, oh my!

Like the rest of the world, I watched Princess Diana's wedding with fascination. Princess Diana glowed! And that train! It was long, but it was perfect for the venue. I can't help but think that the Princess would be pleased with William's and Harry's choice of brides. Her 'extended family' ("at heart" ; and that would be us, in case you are wondering) most certainly are! It is pleasing to know that she is being acknowledged as the special lady that she was...

Every wedding; royal or not, has a hiccup or two! I never knew what Princess Diana's was, until now! The solution was sensible. The wedding went on...

Reportedly, Meghan called on friend and bridal consultant Jessica Mulroney to assist in the planning of the nuptials. It seems as if it was a good choice. Oh, but the details! What will the bride wear? Who will design the gown? Who will attend? What kind of cake will they have? [I think we are up to date on that one, now.] Etc., etc., etc...

Some of the details of the wedding continue to emerge; aka, change even as we write! Ms. Markle may walk herself part way down the aisle, meeting Prince Charles as she nears the altar! Harry & Meghan are "young at heart!" So naturally; yes, we do expect them to incorporate what is a reflection of them. I think it is genius, myself. It is part contemporary, it is part traditional...

Until the wedding; my friends, until the wedding!

Give; and let give, to the Rita S. Wilson Memorial Scholarship! Thaaaaank you!

As of today, there are 10 more days left until:  Memorial Day, Monday, May 28, 2018!

"Happy Today!"

Shalom!

Magnetic false lashes are on the scene!

Hello!

How about that? This has to be the "beauty supply 'item of the year!' "

Some of us do not wear mascara, for varying reasons. No time. Unsteady right hand. Sinusitis, and/or allergies. Yet, we want to look as if we do! And even though mascaras (and lash growers) on the market provide more length and fullness than ever before; sometimes, only 'a false lash' will do! Besides, it brings a sense of symmetry to the entire face like nothing else can! I think it is marvelous, just marvelous to behold! Two thumbs up; Ardell, the undisputed lash leader!

Ballerina Misty Copeland's signature collection is here! Works for me!  

Mmmmm! These linen sheets would make some fine seasonal skirts! I'm just saying...

The details do matter! Swarovski nails? Heavenly, indeed!

As of today, there are 2 more days left until:  Mother's Day, Sunday, May 13, 2018!

The Cicely Tyson bob

Hello!

Oh, girl! You; Ms. Tyson, are rocking 'that bob!' I liiiiike it!

It is all of that, and some! It is "Classic, with a twist!"  It is "Ombre, at it's finest!"  It just is!

My, my, my! Ninety-three never, ever looked so good!

I wonder. Can I do something like #TheCicelyTysonBob for summer, too? I don't know, but I sure would like to try it!

Thank you; Ms. Tyson, for getting me really excited about 'a hair style' for the first time in who knows when!

Take a bow, please...

The woven, perforated dress by Misty Copeland Signature Collection for Under Armour is pret-ty! I can't wait to see her version of a sneaker! Come on; now, we're waiting!

The Tiffany & Co. is out and about on the streets of New York City! In Tiffany blue taxis! We can go for that!

Give; and let give, to the Rita S. Wilson Memorial Scholarship! Thaaaaank you!

As of today, there are 9 more days left until:  Mother's Day, Sunday, May 13, 2018!

"Happy Today!"

Shalom!
