Vunce Upon a Time…

This a children’s book you can really sink your teeth into this Halloween!

Dagmar is not like other vampires. He’s shy, he’s afraid of humans, and . . . he’s a vegetarian! But even more than he likes vegetables, Dagmar loves candy. And when he hears about all the treats he can get on Halloween, he knows he has to be brave and venture out into the human world.

Tech vs. Texas Football Weekend

kandice — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 18:07:32 +0000

This weekend is the Texas Tech vs. University of Texas football game, and if you’re in West Texas, you’ve probably heard about it a *few* times already.

If you don’t already know, this game will be the first time Texas has come to play in Lubbock since Tech’s BIG WIN in 2008 (arguably the best game in Texas Tech football history)… so everyone around here is pretty excited for this year’s match up.

To celebrate teams on BOTH sides of the ball this year, we’ve got partyware for both sides to tailgate- including plates, napkins, and cake pans!

LunchSkins

With school back in session, moms the world over are making sandwiches and packing lunches for their little ones…and every day, more than 20 million plastic baggies (from these ever-so-lovingly packed lunches) end up in a landfill. That’s a LOT of baggies!

What’s an eco-friendly, stylish, and cost effective solution? LunchSkins! We are loving these reusable sandwich and snack bags from 3 green moms! They’re food-safe, dishwasher-friendly, attractive too!

The design is based on that of common zippered baggies, so a traditional sandwich fits perfectly within the 6 x 6 inch pouch and cookies, crackers and fruit fit nicely within the snack size. Are they just for lunch? Heck no! LunchSkins have so many practical and creative uses. Here are a few ideas: lipsticks, dog treats, wallet and keys, ice for boo-boos, pacifiers, baby toiletries, travel cosmetic case, and any other treats or loose messy items you want to fashionably stash away.

Whether you care about our environment, saving money, eating healthy, or looking stylish, LunchSkins are the answer to your plastic baggie blues — they offer an environmental benefit (reduce landfill waste), a practical benefit (they can be used hundreds of times and save you money over the long run), and a healthy choice (food tastes better in a pastry bag).

Think all of this looks familiar? You might have seen them featured in O magazine, Real Simple, or Everyday Food!

Want to get some for your family? We’ve got ‘em in our online store!

We are LOVING these new party tumblers from Jonathan Adler (just in!)… These reusable tumblers are the perfect ice breaker for your next soiree!

Post-Bridal Show Extravaganza

kandice — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 03:28:55 +0000

Thanks to all of the brides who came out to see us at the Bridal Extravaganza last weekend at the Lubbock Memorial Convention Center!

It was great to visit with so many happy brides excited about their big day, and we’ve already been able to help a few find their perfect wedding invitations!

Don’t you love this floral arrangement? Pam at Box of Rain Floral (just a few doors down in our shopping center) made it for us for the Bridal Show. I think I love it because it’s got some of my absolute FAVORITE flowers- stargazer lilies, hydrangeas, calla lilies, roses, and hypericum berries.

The best part about this arrangement is that it looked better as the week went on- gotta love florals that continue to SHINE!
