What would YOU buy with 640 million?

So tonight we eagerly await the mega millions drawing for $640.

Of course almost all of us that purchase a ticket, or many tickets, will not share in the jackpot, but that shouldn't stop us from dreaming!!

Imagine, you wake up tomorrow, bring in the paper maybe run into the neighbors, few minutes of idle chitchat, feed the kids, make a cup (or in my case a pot) of coffee and start your weekend. At some point you will remember to check your tickets, perhaps it will be before you start mentally recapping and prioritizing the 400 errands and honey-do items. Regardless, you silently wish just a couple of numbers would be nice. Hell, $10k would be sweet. You stare down trying to match anything up, realizing...

there is one set of numbers that stands out on your ticket. One beautiful set of digits, that it's sequence would never mean anything to you until this very moment. And that very sequence, whether a combinations of birthdays, lucky numbers, and a couple of guesstimates, just happens to appear on the mega-millions jackpot for March 30, 2012.

So I ask, we all know the first reaction we would have, we all know the basic financial plans, pay off the house or some ridiculous tremendous debt, set the kids up for college, put the money in a trust...all of those things are pretty much in everyone's dream...but what is the very first thing, the VERY FIRST thing..that you would purchase?

(while you think about that visit our jewelry boutique online...even if you don't win, I think we might have a few items that you will enjoy....shopping always makes me feel good) XO - J

Bling Bling Bling

One more week till Bella gets her puppy!

He is HUGE! this picture is at 6 1/2 weeks. I know he looks like he is between 2 and 3 months....Loki-Bear is going to be walking his mama in a year.

In the mean time... we have introduced probably around 15-20 new items....I KNOW! that is a lot of new stuff! however three of the newest items are bracelets. This month - I feel like between February and April we need a little pick me up. January we have new years day, February we have V-day, April we have easter, May - well memorial day of course. But what do we have in March (other than the start of lent for some of us). So March will be the month of BLING at bella. And to kick off that sentiment let me introduce you to three new bracelets born overnight

I will say that the last bracelet (to the right)...is probably not most "BLING" out of all of them believe it or not. I just sold one today and was like - damn, I need to make one for me. And it's actually an average price, but has the most "wow" - well that is my suggestion. "Pretty Princess"

Can you name this puppy?

A little off the topic of jewelry - our family is getting a new puppy in a couple of weeks and we need help with a name! It is a male german sheperd....and we have a ton of ideas, but I was thinking what better resource than my readers! So here is a picture:

please leave a comment below - all names are being seriously considered!!! xo - J
