Paraphernalia..

Well...what can I say about paraphernalia other than the owner, Ms. Vanda...does amazing work. I first stumbled upon her marvelous creations on etsy and I was in love....She designs and makes the most beautiful and unusual pieces of jewelry I've ever seen....below is a necklace that I purchased from paraphernalia...just have to say that when I received it....I was amazed by the quality workmanship...and how gorgeous the piece is.

I received more than a million compliments on it and people asking where I got it.

Check out Paraphernalia at their Etsy Shop...I guarantee you will love it

Valentine's Day is a short time away...

City Style

I'm a city chick born and raised New Yorker....have to say the country is nice but I need the hustle and bustle of the big city....tall skyscrapers, clean architecture, loud noises...I was inspired to create my new line of City Style Stationery, with clean lines and geometric shapes and a little touch of sparkle...(everyone needs some sparkle in their lives)

Happy New Year

Want to wish all of you a Happy & Healthy 2008. I was at the happiest place on earth....Walt Disney World and had a wonderful and tiresome time. Now I'm back with achy feet to share with you my fab finds.

I have to say that I am quite a big fan of Apple, they make such wonderful gadgets as in ipods, iphones etc...you all know. One of my Christmas presents was the new ipod touch which replaced my Ipod video, and I have to say I was like a kid in a candy store with this marvel piece of equipment. I'm a gadget freak and it takes quite a bit to impress me...but I have to say the folks at Apple are a bunch of gadget savvy people.

It has a magnificent 3.5 inch widescreen display which is so crystal clear and sharp that I shed tears when I first turned it on. Not to mention the wi-fi web browsing....that I so used as I was waiting for our Jetblue flight to Orlando. The mutli touch interface is fantastic and swift.

I just have to say Apple you guys are grrreat.

A fab present I got for my husband (actually I bought for him, but I knew I would be using it more ;)

The Keurig Coffee Maker

I am quite the coffee connaisseur but I have never been a big fan of single cup coffee makers, but I decided to give this one a shot. It comes with 18 samples of coffees, teas and cocoa. I ordered some other coffees as well....since we were leaving on vacation we didn't have a chance to test this puppy out (but believe you me, even though I was in the happiest place on earth, I still kept thinking about the Keurig Coffee Maker that was waiting at home) so finally yesterday I ripped open that box and set it up ( by setting up---- I mean plugging it into the electrical outlet...so EASY)

The confusing part was choosing which delectable little coffee cup I would plop into the machine...after about 5 minutes I made my decision...Then I put my new Universal Studios Dr. Seuss "Thing 1" mug to collect my freshly brewed coffee....and the angels began to sing as I sipped the most delicious coffee I have tasted. All I have to say is that I must've had about 7 cups of coffee yesterday.

And one more thing KEURIG you have your number one fan right here....Cheers!
