…whatever. Last night the girls were all piled around my kitchen table talking about their upcoming finals at their respective colleges. Erin goes here, Stephanie goes there and Lacie goes yonder. And they all have different majors so hearing them each talk about this class or that class sometimes drives me nuts. Engineering, the brain, pharmacology, etc.
The topic last night was over a project that Lacie has to get done. Something about coming up with a Bio-Chem something or other to cure a disease. It can’t have been thought of yet. And she has to lay out how she would do it. I suggested coming up with the best anti wrinkle eye cream ever. You know, since things are either sagging or have bags around here. I think she has grander ideas but I still say she should create something to take away all the wrinkle and crinkles in my life.
So, sitting at my table last night…there was the next engineer of great things to come. The next person to take care of the crazies of the world. And the next person to find a cure for something we don’t even know about. And we wonder where things get thought of. The kitchen table, for more than just eating. It’s where the future is thought of.

Chic Moderne is in one word…luxurious!
The feel, the smell of Italian leather. Mmmm.
In its travels, Chic Moderne has discovered the latest European sources for elegant design.
Our exclusive Italian recycled leathers in bold colored handbags and vibrant accessories go with everything in your wardrobe. We’ve selected simple designs that pack organizational muscle. Design enhances a person’s personality by expressing uniqueness. What better way to do so than by acquiring the designs hand crafted by our carefully selected, multi-generational Italian artisans.
Exuding an air of charm and romance, our hand-poured Austrian candles show visionary artistry in shapes and textures. Their unique design is fresh and invigorating. These unique candles will be Très Chic at your next party! Lush jewel tones create a contemporary canvas topped with all the elements of timeless chic. Our candles are low-soot, highly drip-resistant, unscented and made from 100 % natural palm oil.
Great design shapes a moment in time. We at Chic Moderne are in constant search of quality and elegant living ideas. We pride ourselves in offering our customers unique and chic products
I adore their bags and accessories. I am a leather kinda gal and the fact that they are so sensuous and smell divine just makes it for me.
The Lucca Handbag is chic and stylish while providing tons of pockets and durability, holding up to the wear that we all put our bags through on a daily basis. The quality of the products from Chic Moderne can’t be beat and the fact that they are environmentally concious and use recycled materials without sacrificing any of the quality makes them tops in my book.


My favorite item is the Business Card holder. LOVE it! It goes with me everywhere.I love the colors that their bags and accessories come in as well. They have done a fabulous job in their selections. And you will adore dealing with Patti if you need some help in making a decision.

They can even help you get organized with all of the portfolios, planners and notebooks.
Check out Chic Moderne for those special ones on your list this year, they have something for everyone.
Merry Christmas!

I was recently given the opportunity to try out some items from Calypso Studios by Mom Fuse. They have some of the cutest decorative, reusable tote bags and jewelry.
The Cabana Totes were my favorite…bet you just can’t guess why.
And the Tousan Green w/cross Bracelet which I absolutely LOVE. I have worn it everyday!
This was another favorite around here :

They have so many great designs to suit anyones taste. In Totes and Jewelry.
S.H.O.P. (Start Helping Our Planet) Totes designs are beautifully created by various American artists and provide a fashionable, yet affordable way to Start Helping Our Planet. Americans throw away about 100 billion bags every year, polluting our waterways and landfills. And it is Calypso’s mission to start reducing that number.
I carried my tote on our Road Trip yesterday to tote all of my treasures around in. They are so handy because they fold up into about a 2X3 size and are convenient to carry with you wherever you go…and they hold LOTS of stuff.
Check out Calypso Studios and their full line of beautiful jewelry and totes!
