Ohh... Anthropologie. How I love thee.

This is how I spend my down time...

1.) I will fill my "shopping cart" with everything I love in the catalog until the total is like $7,000 ... then I go back and meticulously decide what I can do without until the total is more like $1,000.

2.) I let it sit .... let me mind marinade it over .... get it down to about $500.

3.) I look at my bank statements, my checkbook, my bills (get it down to $200.)

Here's what I'm left with:

This cardigan ---

and these sandals ----

Now I'll wait another week or so ... debating the pros and cons.

I probably will never buy either of them ... but it's the HUNT. I think this is a bit of a look into my natural huntress state ... I am an Anthropologie woman. Hear me roar.

OMG the ribbon outlet....

SOOOOoooo.... Amanda, my big sis, and her little girl, Ella (my niece!) were in town for the weekend! Ella has gotten SO big! She loves "The Wiggles" (think: Richard Simmons on acid.) She calls them the "wee wees." aww!

Our big trip to the Ribbon Outlet in Hagerstown, Md., was a huge success! Amanda and I each got like $50 worth of cheap-o ribbon!! (Mom sat with a napping Ella in the car.)

Here I am with a MONSTER ROLL of red ribbon. This whole thing was like $3.00. NO WAY! I tried to stay with a more manageable size and amount though :)

Here's sweetie pie Ella, by the way :)

And LOOK! She is modeling my new line of "BabyGoose" accessories!!! More to come :) :)
