The cuff bracelet. Long forgotten in the winter due the fact that we are all covered from head to wrist! Soon (let’s hope soonER than later), spring will arrive and the cuff bracelet will be back in the mix. The perfect way to add color, personality, or fun to your outfit!
Here are few I spied on nordstrom.com:
Every year I set a goal. Finish holiday shopping before Nov. 1. Well, it is Oct 18th and I haven’t started, but I suppose there is a faint possibility that it will happen. Doubtful, but possible.
When the shopping does commence, my goal is to use local shops to stuff our stockings. Last year, I loved the feeling of holiday, community, and spirit in every small shop I walked into. I look forward to great customer service, seeing their displays, and finding one of a kind gifts.
A few of my local favorites:
Island Books-Mercer Island
greatest book store around. Books, gifts, expertise, and amazing service. They ship anywhere in the US for free.

Some of us are wavering on the “unconditional” love for our city this summer, but we do love it all the same! Came across this city guide by Sunset Magazine.
One of favorite past times is to find new great restaurants!
A few I already know:
Monsoon is totally yummy. Eat in the bar and share some small plates over cocktails.
Licorous is right next door to the all-together delicious Lark. Drinks at Licorous, dinner at Lark!
Steelhead Diner. Am I the only one that thinks this place is a little overrated?
Salumi! My husband has attended the 5-course private lunch. It is served in the back of this well-renowned deli only on Wednesdays and, from what I am told, totally amazing. Great for a special occasions.
Others were new to me:
I am thinking I really want to try Lunchbox Laboratory. Who doesn’t love a great burger?
