Hello and a happy Sunday to you! I am having such a? relaxing weekend, just what the doctor ordered. I am going to be working on my costume today, we are invited to a really great party, a Great Gatsby? 50th birthday party of a friend and at one of the most iconic places in NYC….The Rainbow Room. I am mentally preparing myself to walk all the way to the top though as I do not take elevators and haven’t in 22 years! This is going to be one major workout:)<\/p>\n

First I want to announce a lucky winner of the stunning pair of French stockings from The French Elements. Congratulations goes to….<\/p>\n

?#36 Bobbie Hathaway<\/a><\/cite> says: <\/span>Oh my goodness, I love everything that is French. I adore the Christmas stockings, but then I like so many other things i.e. the pillow with the chateau. I have always been drawn to embroidered items. Tina, you have another winner.<\/em><\/p>\n

Please contact me at theenchantedhome@gmail. with your contact info so these can be on their merry way:)<\/p>\n

1. My newest Annabel Ingall totes<\/strong>. Say hello to Alice…the newest bag to the line. I am in love with this bag! Comes in two sizes, I got them in charcoal for customers and naturally must get one for myself. Love that it has the zipper and removable shoulder strap. Very chic looking, great lines, super soft buttery leather, this could fast become an everyday fave. These are on promotion right now for two days only, ends tonight along with those gorgeous capes!

3. My talented artist friends<\/strong>…..I am always so floored by those who can hold a paintbrush or colored pencil and make magic happen. I love to share the beauty and talent because I have such an immense appreciation for it, here are three very talented ladies!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mary Casey, our entire family will forever be indebted to the talents of this most generous woman and super talented artist. When Teddy had his accident, she was inspired to paint this portrait of him. It is amongst our most treasured possessions and we all fought as to where it would go. In the end, my son won:) I am amazed at how she captured him so beautifully right down to his expressive eyes…amazing!<\/p>\n

Gail Morris,? one of my readers was inspired to paint both of these from having seen my own floral arrangements that I had featured on post a while back? and recently had them framed……think they came out just beautiful! Click here<\/a> to see more of her work.<\/p>\n

4. A gorgeous wedding with blue and white touches!<\/strong> I was so happy to help out a reader\/customer\/fellow blogger, Cheryl from A Coastal Point of View<\/a>, select a battalion of ginger jars for her daughters wedding. They look so beautiful and I am so enjoying the pictures I am getting to see so far, picture perfect!? Her daughter made one spectacular bride……I loved this post Cheryl did on the ceremony <\/a>and the special meaning it had click here to read,?<\/a> it is a truly beautiful post.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5.? A few nifty little apps.<\/strong> I admit it I am a total slacker when it comes to apps, my kids look at my phone in utter disgust when they see the only apps I pretty much have are the ones it originally came with! But I am stepping up my game just a bit, thanks to a more tech savvy friend who has introduced me to a few really great apps. I thought I would share, though you? might already know about them…..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pack point<\/strong>– helps customize a packing list for when you are traveling, it asks you a bunch of questions and then generates a really comprehensive little list!<\/p>\n

\"PackPoint_iOS-730x4291\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Flesky<\/strong>– allows you to have a custom? keyboard which also has swipe typing and allows you to type faster and its resizeable!!<\/p>\n

\"fleksy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wikitude<\/strong>– Is great when you are in a new city, it pulls up all the new restaurants, bars, events going on based upon what your camera sees.? Haven’t? tried it yet but most definitely would.<\/p>\n

\"wikitude_2020611391025794_673433\"<\/a><\/p>\n

File this<\/strong>– This is awesome….great for someone who loses receipts\/bills (like me on occasion) this amazing app can digitize? your bills or you can take pictures of your receipts and it will keep them in a database so you can access them wherever you go.<\/p>\n

\"filethis-slide\"<\/a><\/p>\n

6. My newest belljar.<\/strong> My belljars are one of my best selling items and my own home is living proof of how much I adore them. They are classically beautiful and understated, they? just give the perfect lighting in a room.<\/p>\n

I have them in my kitchen, a few bathrooms, a few vestibules and my foyer hallway. I just added this to a vestibule between my kitchen and pantry, love it! This is the “Tiffany” style. Click here to see the belljars on my online shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

7. The one and only Oscar.?<\/strong> What a talent and what a legacy he will leave behind. But beyond his incredible fantasy like creations and the empire he built, he above all seemed like such the quintessential gentleman. A person of grace, elegance and quiet sophistication.<\/p>\n

There is a reason he was loved by the world over. I am so thrilled to own one of his beautiful dresses and will forever cherish it as a symbol of this iconic force. Thought this video about his life, career and impact on the fashion world was worth sharing…..as a special way of remembering the one and only Oscar.<\/p>\n
