Just had to share this. My husband scored with yet another awesome Christmas gift this year and though I loved what was inside ( I’ll be sure to share a photo on a later date ) I was intrigued by the bag that it came in. Apparently Lord & Taylor have been keeping an eye on color trends- check out the color of the inside of the shopping bags they were giving over the holidays.
An unexpected non-traditional holiday shade of bright yellow that looks an awful lot like Pantone’s color of 2009 Mimosa! Kudos Lord & Taylor- no wonder you’re Robert Verdi’s favorite store to shop!

This time of year is always so stressful - the last minute shopping, getting the cards and packages mailed, work parties [if you were lucky] and the decorating! All of this done on a shoe string budget, yes the economy is a mess, but the holidays will still come.
Then the weather is not cooperating, making it very difficult to get around and get it all done. I can barely get my mind around the fact that it is already Hanukkah and Christmas is just days away. If you let it get to you, it is easy to lose site of what this time of year is all about.
This is a time to reflect on all the wonderful blessings we have. We need to be thankful for our loved ones, our health and happiness. Maybe the tree is not perfect, and the presents are not quite what you hoped to give, some cards didn’t make it out in time - or in my case - not at all. Remember the ’spirit’ of Christmas is within us and that is what we need to focus on. The spirit of the holidays comes naturally, it isn’t wrapped in shiny paper and a snow storm won’t keep it in.
