All Things Coral

I'm not much of a nail polish girl, but I've been eying some coral (orange-red) nail polish for a while. Seems to be the most popular color this summer - also for lipstick, dresses and sweaters. Last night I picked up some Lise Watier 'Fun in the Sun' nail polish, along with some matching lipstick and gloss from Revlon - I'll have to get a dress or sweater to match :)

Ten Thousand Villages is one of my favorite stores for gifts,

conference prizes and honorariums. I also love it because it

supports fair trade and the prices & quality are great. You

can buy online via Canadian and American websites. I

recently fell in love with a number of their scarfs. Here

are the ones I bought:

Collector Spotlight: Royal Crown Derby Paperweights

If I were rich and enjoyed dusting I might have to start a Royal Crown Derby paperweight collection. I love animals and art - and I think these are perfection. Hope you enjoy!

Dog collars

Fancy Dog Collars

With a new puppy and a dog with an old raggedy collar, I thought it was time for some new collars. These were so neat, I almost wished they made belts! I really like the 'martingale' style collar - it's great for puppy training and for racing hounds (or dogs that drive you crazy). Here are some of my favorites from Etsy.

I bought this one for my Silken Windhound:
