Just when I thought the big designers had covered everything I discover that Gucci designs baby carriers. For the price of $895 you can have your own Gucci Baby Carrier with either white or brown straps. The carrier has adjustable straps and is recommended for babies 3 to 9 months or up to 20 pounds. Measures 16L"x7.1W"x18.5H"

My friend recently became a friend of this company on facebook and I have to admit that I really like the earrings. I also like that the designer has this written on her site "She makes all this jewelry for you to enjoy because she likes you,
and she believes that you can be extraordinary." I just think it's a sweet concept. Some of JoJo's jewelry is blinging while others are antique or every day.
My favorites are:
Swarovski crystal set in sterling silver post 11 mm
Flat Turquoise Bling - $30 at jojolovesyou.com
"The Abby" Vintage pin strung on hot pink turquoise, with 3 inch extender chain
The Abby Necklace By Jojo - $140 at jojolovesyou.com
Starfish pendant strung on quartz with 3 inch extender chain
Aqua Starfish Chain - $140 by jojolovesyou.com
I think Jojo's jewels make great gifts.
I recently saw these picnic bags by Flee Bags in a magazine and thought that they were a great thing to have. They are made out of oil cloth which is easy to wipe off and can keep things cool when used along with an ice pack or two. I have a heavy plastic cooler and I also have a lighter one that I use for trips to the beach, etc. Just thought these were cute and loved the side compartments. The coolers measure: 16.5x9.5x11

For the past month, I rented a home in Newport, Rhode Island. I took a couple of long weekends and went up and it was great! One weekend a bunch of girls in my family came and we toasted s'mores. Not the old fashioned way over a bonfire but rather with a s'mores maker I was given a year or two ago. I had never used it before and when I brought it out everyone loved it! S'more's always make me happy and remind me of the fires we used to have at my Grandparents house. Such a simple dessert and I just wanted to share it with you all:
Dylan's Candy Bar in New York sells the maker and it can also be used for making fondue or as an ice cream sundae station.

I thought this was adorable. Since I've been checking out the Ralph Lauren site I noticed that there's also a "Paint Your Own Polo" section. My friends and I always had "make your own shirt parties" where you either painted a sweat shirt (my birthday is in the fall) or made t-shirts with beads. I think the polo shirt idea takes it up a notch and I also like the idea of using a rubber stamp on the shirt. Kit includes one polo shirt, six paints, two brushes and two stamps.
