Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts tomorrow :)

Eccobase

My best friend Ciara is an amazing artist.
She even went to art school.

Now she's a stay-at-home mama, and putting her skills to good use making these awesome tote bags! 

Her brand is called Eccobase and you can find her products on Etsy.

All of her bags are hand sewn, hand painted, hand appliqued... you get the point. They're made from scratch. And made well! She's also using all eco-friendly materials.

So if you're looking for a sweet present or a fun summery bag, check out her Etsy site.


PS - How awesome are the details on this bag? She SEWED that! By HAND!

I'm 1/2 done with Christmas shopping.
My goal is to be 100% done by December 1st.

Crazy? Possibly. But the idea of spending any amount of time inside a mall during the month of December makes me want to crawl under my desk and cry.

And now for a puff piece to follow up that last post... Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts FRIDAY!

Is it bad that I'm already starting to think about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

Costco

I love Costco.

Jon and I have been super busy the last couple weeks. Normally when we're this busy, one of us will do the grocery shopping while the other is out fulfilling one of their many commitments. However, when it comes to Costco, we put the trip off until we have time to go together. We both love Costco. It's like a McDonald's Playplace for grown-ups.

Tonight is Costco night. I'm embarrassingly excited.
