I had a blast yesterday at the AmericasMart Gift Show in Atlanta! I stopped by to see some old friends and I made some new ones along the way. Some companies that I have featured on my blog, I got to meet in person and it was so fab to see them! The show was very crowded with hundreds of vendors in spite of our bad weather. I love seeing all the different fashions when I’m at the mart and I can always spot the Californians because they are usually full of smiles and dressed so chic.

My first stop was to see my fav gals from The Brag Company! They have some new items, since I did my blog giveaway which was a new bra carrier for 1 or 2 bras. I also loved the new leopard print bra carrier, cuteness! Next I was off to see the chicas over at Padibbles. They were soo fun to talk to! They make very creative  and inspirational fun napkins!

Later in the afternoon I headed over to see my fav chica Lolita! She’s always the life of the party and sure enough there were martinis, cocktails and more at her booth. I loved how she had red boas, signed flasks and mini cocktails for her guests. I was exhausted by the end of the day but I always have a great time at the AmericasMart gift show. You should come down if you are in Atlanta! There is definitely something for everyone! The gift show is over Tuesday but check Americas Mart website for further information. www.Americasmart.com xoxo

I was outside looking at all the pretty flowers when I started to think how much I love flowers. They make me smile when I’m down and I love receiving them. I hope my hubby reads this post(clearing throat). I was looking at John Winds latest collection of jewelry and in his collection he has lots of flowers he adds in his pieces. John was such a dear and sent me over a gift which was a beautiful necklace about a month ago.
