Thanks to your purchases of my Teeny Genie necklace, I’ve sent a check for $1260 to blogger Janet of Je Ne Sais Quoi (as well as a Teeny Genie for her daughter). As you might recall, Janet’s husband took his own life in January, leaving behind no insurance, savings or 401K for his wife and [...]

If you’re a teenage girl or acquainted with a teenage girl, you know I’m talking about a fan of the movie The Twilight Saga: New Moon who swoons over the werewolf Jacob Black, a character played by the frequently shirtless Taylor Lautner.

I was amused to read that actors and ex-lovebirds Jude Law and Sienna Miller were spotted last week at the restaurant Emporio, home of my favorite peach sangria.
My former employer, People.com, earnestly quotes a restaurant source as saying that couple opted to sit out front rather than in a “private seat in the back of [...]

I wish I could list all the people who made my holiday sale and pop-up shop such successes, but it would take me so long that — if this were an awards show — the orchestra would play me off stage. So I’ll simply say thank you to everyone who blogged, Tweeted, attended, shopped (both [...]
