Thanksgiving is just around the corner

It is so hard to believe that this Thursday is Thanksgiving already! Where has all of 2011 gone?  For all the ups and downs of 2011 – I feel that we all have much to be thankful for. 2011 has been filled with new friends, new opportunities, and so much more. I’d love to hear what 2011 has brought to you to be thankful for as we all prepare to spend time with our loved ones.

It is also hard to believe that this week also means Black Friday is also just around the corner. With so many stores fighting for your business it’s no wonder there is so much chaos and madness. I, for one, and not one of those dedicated shoppers who like to be there when the doors open to fight the crowds hoping to get the gifts you want.  I prefer either shopping for it online or going on any other day. 🙂  If you know what you want to buy for a gift why not shop online first?  Many websites will also have discounted prices making it easy to shop from home and be able to compare prices. Everyone has their favorite website to shop – mine is www.outwestfashions.com which houses a great selection of western purses and wallets.  I hope you’ll take the time to visit it, and I’d love to hear about some of your favorite shopping sites. May you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Happy Shopping!

Happy 4th of July

It is hard to believe this weekend is already the 4th of July. It seems one of the official kick offs to Summer.  I’m not sure where all of you are at around the US, but out where I am it has become pretty hot.  Triple digit temps are now going to become the norm.  I am so glad to live in a county where we are free, but that freedom does not come free. I’d also like to say a big thank you to all of our military people who put their lives on the line for us.  Thank you and may God Bless you. I hope everyone has a great weekend with their families.  Don’t forget to check out some of my favorite websites that I have marked. There are some new purses and wallets getting ready to come out next month.  Hang tight as more info becomes available – you won’t want to miss the new western purse collections that American West will be coming out with this coming month.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner!

I can’t believe that we are already into May. I’m not quite sure where the first quarter of 2011 has gone! Hopefully most of you have not been affected by all of the bad weather. We have had a lot of rain in my area with some flooding. I am always amazed by the power of water.  But with Easter over it is now time to turn our attention to Mother’s Day.  I don’t know about your mom, but my mom is so hard to shop for regardless of the holiday. So I am always open to suggestions to find a great gift idea for mom that she will actually be surprised about.  Now I know most mom’s love to accessorize, and my mom is no different.  It is very easy for some mom’s to have a whole closet full of accessories like purses, wallets, etc.  So if your mom is one who loves western purses and wallets the new Bandana Taos Collection is a great gift idea for mom.  This is a great new collection put out by American West that has a 90 day guarantee with all of the same craftsmanship without the $200 price tag.  This collection comes in a soft taupe color with turquoise accents or dark brown with gold accents.  These purses are great for everyday use or a night out on the town.  Very elegant, with the just the right amount of bling and western flair combined. Our mom’s have done an awful lot for us, why not use this opportunity to do something nice for mom. Happy Mother’s Day!
