A friend will be moving to North Carolina before Christmas. Besides busy packing her things to be shipped, my friend is also looking around for health insurance in nc and other important matters for her move. Two nights ago, a few of us got together to give our friend a farewell dinner. We had dinner at a restaurant in downtown and then adjourned to a quaint cafe for coffee. As a farewell gift, I gave her a cute Chloe bow key fob. Nice? My friend loves it.
An ex-schoolmate of mine celebrated her 40th birthday recently. A few of us, ten ex-schoolmates got together and celebrated her birthday at a local restaurant. It was a lovely celebration as well as a get-together for everyone since most of us have not seen each other for a while. Guess what we got our dear friend as birthday present. A stunning necklace created with ivory chiffon flowers and an intricate sequin flower in grey. The Vivienne necklace is from PrismeraDesign.com.
Before I check out the health care job sites for my cousin, I would like to share with you what I found recently. Lovely handmade paper dolls from Kirakirahoshi’s Shop. There are sweet Korean couples, elegant Japanese girls in kimonos and pretty Chinese girls wearing costumes worn during the Qing Dynasty. I also like the cute Indian ladies in sarees. Each paper doll is about 15cm x 9cm and are great as cards, bookmarks and more. If you like, you can even frame them up as a picture and hang on your wall.
I love these Lunchskins Sandwich Bags. They are made from certified food-safe fabric and can be closed with velcro. These reusable cotton bags are designed for sandwiches and snack.

What do you think of a soap that will get you clean but looks like a bacon? Frankly, I am not sure if I am going to like it or not because it smells like real bacon too. The Bacon Soap comes in a collectible retro tin. Well, one man’s meat is another man’s poison (no pun intended). So, if you like the idea of rubbing some bacon on your body, head over to ThinkGeek.com and get yourself a few strips bars.
While my husband while busy helping his friend to look up the 5th wheel warranty, I was scouring the internet for unique wine bags or wine holders. We have a party to attend next weekend and we would like to present the host with a bottle of good wine. I figure that a nice wine holder would be better than the normal gift bag. I found the most lovely wine bag at The West End. It is made of discarded newspaper and coated in plastic.
Another one which I like is the one below which is made from pages of twisted old magazines. Using these recycled wine caddy or wine bag to carry the wine bottles is rather eye-catching, don’t you think so?

I love this cute tin cake carrier from ShopPlasticLand.com. I think every baker should have at least one of these. Its exterior is decorated to look like a colourful cake with the wordings, “Everything Is Better With Cake and Frosting” on top of the lid. There is also a metal latch to hold the lid tightly. This tin cake carrier makes a great birthday gift for someone who loves to be in the kitchen baking.
