I switched handbags this week. I'd been using a beautiful green one since early fall and it was time for a change. I peeked inside a couple of cloth bags until I came across a red bag that I hadn't used for a while. It suited my mood and I lifted it off the shelf. … Continue reading Like a virgin

The Golden Globes in 3 Takes
Take 1 – Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are fearless. The collective gasp when they ran their Bill Cosby bit was definitely an indication that they caused some discomfort in the audience. Unlike the rest of Hollywood, Tina and Amy weren't letting Cosby get away with anything. Take 2 – Nothing worked harder during last … Continue reading The Golden Globes in 3 Takes

Elissa's creationsYou know how I enjoy little traditions in life, right? Have we talked about this before?

Like listening to Simon and Garfunkel's … Continue reading Elissa Halloran ~ Lark Street
