We were able to spend the weekend in San Antonio with our family. There were lots of grandma and grandpa snuggles, playtime with the cousins and just good ‘ole family time. Picnics in the front yard. Family holiday road trips planned. Cooking. Fishing. Playing.

A while back I commissioned… (ahem) I asked a friend to help me make a new bag. Simply because I can’t sew at that level. Yet. Well, I haven’t actually tried, but it’s the following directions in a pattern that gets me every time. It’s the following directions period that I have a problem with, but that’s a whole other post all together.

The Bee\'s Knees

The bag just arrived and I can’t get enough of it. Thank you, thank you, thank you Sarah. If you haven’t met Sarah, you are really missing out. Go ahead, go and say hello. She’s my friend, confidante, role model, nutritionist, therapist and life coach. She’s one rock star mama! I can only strive to be as cool as her when I grow up.

Family Ties

Another thing that I’m loving right now is this necklace I ordered on Etsy a while back. I first saw this type of necklace on Heidi Klum in an interview and immediately fell in love with it. I found an artist on Etsy and had her make a custom piece for me with the names of everyone in our little family on silver disks. I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this necklace. Adds a little bit of bling to my everyday wardrobe don’t you think?!?

    You’re so sweet. Maybe next time it won’t take me 4 months to mail it.

    Hey wait! Are you implying that I’m grown up? Oh my goodness no. I’m just a kid! Really!

    Hi Jade, the necklace looks so fantastic on you! I didn’t know about your blog – I’ll check it out more often. A potential customer made a visit and liked your necklace. She is considering ordering a similar necklace – so I thank you. Your necklace was a custom order, and I didn’t take a picture of it. I’d love to put the picture from your blog on my etsy store and list the necklace for sale. I’d be happy to give mention of your blog.

    Please send me an email and let me know what your thoughts are. I’ll look forward to hearing from you – your blog is very interesting. Thanks again for the mention. Kay
