Hello again!, In an effort to simplify dates and times, for the first fall Pop Up, the shop hours will be consistent each day…noon until 4 p.m.  Plus, I’ve added Sunday, to offer you more options! Until next time, XO, Barbara

Hello, gorgeous! Remember when we were 12 years old and the teacher had us write an essay on what we did on summer vacation, when we returned to school? Being the middle of 5 kids, on an Air Force base, summer vacation was pretty basic.  After watching “I Love Lucy” and “Mr.Ed, the Talking Horse”…

Hello, gorgeous! I hope this note finds you in good spirits. I just listened to a podcast, called First 15, about fighting negativity in our lives and measuring our words before we speak them. A good reminder for me. We returned from the lake yesterday evening.  We visited with old friends and painters got some…

Hello, gorgeous! Big news! The pre-loved summer rack is half off, this week and next! 🙂 So great deals on name brand summer pieces, just got really great! Why am I doing this, you ask? Because the shop will be closed the month of August and when I re-open in September, you’ll find great pieces for…

Hello, gorgeous! This week begins our Summer Sale, so it’s a great time to freshen up your closet, with a couple new tops, at 20% off! This top from Shana is a traveler’s dream! Originally $84.95 and now $69!  Lightweight, easy care so comfortable. All the tops circled/chicken scratched/scribbled,  are on sale, at great savings!…

Hello, gorgeous! Knowing that our country is going to celebrate its 250th birthday, makes me feel like a “spring chicken”! It’s been refreshing to see the soccer players from around the world, talking so positively, about our beautiful country. I wish we “tooted our own horn” more than we do. Hats off to the USA!…

Hello, gorgeous! We arrived at Tahoe, Friday afternoon, after a delicious lunch at In and Out. Sweet Linda, took care of you at the shop, in my absence and I’m thankful! Micah and I waited for our lunch, at a shady table, while Bob ordered inside. I enjoyed watching lots of parents and little kids,…

      Hello, gorgeous! What are you up to this weekend? I hope it’s something fun! The recent weather is perfect for an outdoor barbecue, to celebrate Dad! To be honest, we don’t have a lot of Dad gifts to choose from, other than some wonderful “manly” candle scents and cookbooks, if he’s handy in the…

Hello, gorgeous! It feels like summer in the valley arrived without apology, this week! I guess it shouldn’t surprise any of us who have lived here for long. As a kid whose dad was in the  Air Force, we lived on the east coast, when I was young, where summers were brutal. I guess some…

Hello, gorgeous! How, in the world, are you? Great, I hope! Today, I stepped into a gym, for the first time in forever, with an encouraging friend. As much as I don’t enjoy it, I know it’s a necessary evil, especially as time marches on! It’s not a wanna do, but a gotta do!  Who’s…

Hello, gorgeous! I hope you’re doing splendidly! Mr.Wonderful and I have enjoyed a nice break, spring cleaning and getting the Tahoe house ready for summer, should it ever really get here! But, more on that later. We’ve returned home to unpacking deliveries, as I get ready for this weekend’s big Jewelry Sale! All Jewelry is…
