Some Great Bargains

Happy Monday! I am feeling really energized today, and that almost never happens on a Monday. It probably has something to do with the fact that I have no deadlines ahead of me....other than the Holiday's.

I decided to get a jump on some of my Holiday shopping (online, of course), and wound up finding some fantastic bargains....for me...and you. Since I love when we are 'twinsies', here ya go

I am in love with this place setting, and can NOT get over the sale price

Today is Veterans Day. I am sincerely grateful to all of those who have or are currently serving in the military. Because of you, all things are possible. Thank you for your service.

 

Giveaway Scavenger Hunt Style

Yesterday, I told you about my shopping experience at Sequin, and left you with me feeling sad. The reason I was feeling sad was because...it was like drinking the perfect cocktail....alone. Know what I mean?

Finding the most fabulous....whatever.....is only better when you can share it. So, I went back into the store and picked up these three beauties for one of YOU!

I actually had help from the much younger sales girl.

I told her I wanted something EVERYONE would want.

Cream, gold & navy

Want it?

 Here is my idea of fun.....I hid this giveaway on a very stylish blog. She is a friend of mine. If you can figure out who that is....you can enter the giveaway!

The giveaway is on HER blog!

It's a scavenger hunt style giveaway. 

Before you go....tell me where you are headed. If you find it, you can come back and leave a comment telling the others.

Now, I am HAPPY!

Shopping at Sequin

This is an unusual story that has an unusual ending....   In October, we went to Newport, RI for a wedding. We love Rhode Island, and usually go once a year. Since we have done so many things in RI over the years, this year the kids wanted to go to the International Tennis Hall of Fame. OK, let's be real, for those of you who really know me....this could only mean one thing... I"M OUT! 
I have noting against tennis, I hate all sports equally. I do love watching my daughter play tennis....even if I can't figure out that weird scoring system.
Back to the story.....a stimulation package was due for the local stores of Newport. The very first store I entered was Sequin.

Are you familiar with it? They make the most fantastic jewelry. They have something for every occasion, but it is probably their enamel bracelets that have made them famous.   In addition to the Sequin stores, the jewelry also sells in Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, and Nordstom just to name a few. This is what a typical store looks like.

Could you just die? For visual people, this is truly eye candy.

Everywhere you looked was more visual beauty. 

The combinations are endless. I must have tried on over 100 bangles.

Even Ms. "O" fell in love with them

Here are the ones that came home with me

No, I won't wear them all together. I figured this would give me two great combo's...the white, gold, black and gray

And the ever classic navy, white and gold

They are so comfortable and have the perfect amount of "clang" to them.

I was in love....but it was short lived. I started to feel really guilty. I wasn't happy anymore....can you guess why? 

Come back tomorrow for part 2.....
