In Memoriam...

Sending lots of thoughts and prayers to those affected 7 years ago. We live about an hour outside of New York City. Lots of moms and dads from school commute into the city everyday for work including our own Mr. KB. Several of the kids' friends lost parents that day, I know that day changed everyone.



Here is one of my favorite pictures of the lights they put in the towers place to honor the lives lost that day. There have been years in the past on a clear night when we can see the beams of light from our backyard. It takes your breath away. xo, Brie

C is for Cookies and Cosmos!

Even though I would desperately love to win these adorable cookies and eat them all myself and share them with the kids, I would feel like a crumb (ha ha, get it? crumb!! I'm on fire tonight) if I didn't share this awesome giveaway over at A Dozen Eggs Blog!

Also check out other fabulous and incredibly cute, detailed cookie designs at her website A Dozen Eggs. Perfect for care packages and party favors! xo, Brie

Randomness....

Have you ever bought red seedless grapes and they are especially good? Really crunchy and sweet too? I always say to myself that the next time I have them like this, I need to note the time of year so I can stock and restock. The time is RIGHT NOW (mid Sept), go get some and see :) I'll even tolerate bringing the freaky Grape King back into the house - they are that good! xo, Brie

Fall Headbands

Just received a new shipment of awesome grosgrain ribbon that are so perfect for some braided fall headbands! That leopard one has my name all over it :) I have been making some lately with all one color (like the black one you see up there) - I love the way they are coming out, the lines and texture of the grosgrain give it just the right amount of contrast. The black one goes with just about everything and has been in my hair everyday for the last week or so! I am going to list these 5 at a special introductory price of $10 through 9/14 as a special for the blog readers you can get yours Here! Happy Monday! xo, Brie

PS a certain someone by the name of Ms. C started pre k4 this morning! This look really says it all - hope they are ready ;)

Hey Now!

When I look at this picture I see a most inventive form of recycling. This look is perfect for bad hair days and is the perfect fix for when you are unable to locate a trashcan! Always a great look for a baseball game..... Go green girl :) xo, Brie

As Promised.....

Here is a sneak peek at one of the bags for the fall line up. This is what I'll be carrying this fall for sure!

I have made up seven new belts that are cute, classic and perfect for fall!

Hopefully all will be in place on the site by next week ;) xo, Brie

School Bells are Ringing

For some anyway! The boys start today... some were eager to start school, and some were not! Thankfully someone snapped out of their mood before we left!

Kay starts her new middle school tomorrow, and Ms. C starts Monday :) I can't wait for them to get home so I can hear who their teachers are! I have a feeling it will be another great year!

After a very productive weekend, our new fall line is well underway. I promise to post a sneak peek manana! Happy school days!! xo, Brie
