IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN - GIFT GUIDE

It's that time of year again. What to buy for whom. Usually I love to find items that, even though they are reasonably priced will warm someones heart.

Then I thought maybe this time I should focus on something else. I found myself thinking of the most important women in our lives - our grandmothers, mothers, wives, aunts, sisters, etc. It would be appropriate to find something to help them stay toasty warm and enhance their loveliness.

Here is a collection of beautiful, lovely shawls. I love them all.

VINTAGE AND A TOUCH OF ROMANCE

If you love vintage you have a soft spot for cameos. Cameos add a touch of softness and at the same time bring into focus times gone by.

If you have a cameo of a loved one made it is the most personal gift. It also holds time still as it is a cameo of that person, of that time. If you'd like to give someone a very personal gift, than check www.goldcrestbags.etsy.com.

Here is a small collection of cameos.

VALENTINE - HEARTS

Hearts are the traditional symbol of Valentines Day. For some reason a heart touches a womans soul. The heart can be a box in the shape of a heart, jewelery, a bag, you name it.

For my first valentines collection I've put together a "heart" collection. The selection was made from my team Unique Women In Business (UWIBTEAM) and from Carried Away Bag Team (CABTEAM).I am sure you will find something special for that special person in your life.
