We have some really fabulous bags to put under your tree this year. Felt and leather totes, laptop covers, ipad pouches and little phone cozies. They feel beautiful and these covers are an instant classic in their simplicity. Choose from these bright cheerful colors, or go with a sophisticated neutral.

Something for the Hostess - the envelope please.

So the gatherings are upon us and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Are you ready? All this talk of comings and goings, travel destinations and who's hosting who reminded me of a funny story.  I had a reclusive and paranoid great uncle Jay who normally only drove out of the Bronx to come to our house for holiday dinners. He never celebrated with anyone else and he was kind of a character. He was a good uncle though, he always gave my...

Sometimes its so much easier to scribble stuff down then to open up your electronic notes, find the section, yaddy, yaddy. Anyways, I neglected to mention that we have a similar zippered cases for phones! (also accompanied with a nice pad of paper.) This...

Veterans Day down Broughton

 Taken at 10:58, 11 November 1918, just before the Armistice went into effect; men of the 353d Infantry, near the church at Stenay, Meuse, wait for the end of hostilities. In 1918, bells worldwide were rung on the 11th month, the 11th day, at 11 a.m. to celebrate and recognize the ending of WWI, "the war to end all wars." To commemorate that peaceful pledge, bells were rung around the world on November 11 for over 35 years. The U.S. Congress...
