If Shopping...

This sign says it all & with summer fast approaching, I really need to start an exercise program. You'd think that with all the shopping I do, both personal & for the store, I'd be a size 5. Unfortunately, that's in my dreams. With that said, I am going to tryyyyyy on Monday (of course...always a Monday) to get healthy. I have a goal...I am going on my "Dream" Vacation in July (Mediterranean Cruise...Italy, Greece, Spain, Turkey...) & I really need to get physically fit for all the walking & touring I will be doing. Not to mention the fact that I have to put a bathing suit on :(.

So here goes...the official start...of my "Life" change.

At the store, we are also getting into the "Summer Groove" and Heritage Lace offers some of the lightest, airiest (is this a word ????), beachiest (????? word) linens & lace in the Beach Cottage Collection.

A great look for décor at the shore: Delicate starfish and seashells with natural shell trim. Distinctive crushed lace features marine motifs accented with dainty trim (optional) of real seashells.
