It is this new type of wallet called an opera wallet.
What makes them so neat, is that they lay flat in your purse, leaving lots of room,and when you open them you can easily find your stuff!

This cute website http://www.texcyngoods.com  has a great assortment of these flat wallets. Wouldn’t a brightly colored yellow, or pink be adorable at the beach?

We bought a table and took our Hot flops and our jewelry trees.

We were having a great time until the rain came in. Sigh.That is Michigan for you! It was a sunny day, suddenly overcast, and then pouring rain. A really nice man helped me to hurry up and get my stock out of the rain,but the day was over early.
People were buying our jewelry trees for Christmas gifts, and there was a ton of interest in our stuff.
Moral of the story- If doing outside bazaars, bring a tent!

Stretch your buck,and have money left over for the cool flip flops that match!

Where else can you buy roxy bikinis at such a great price?We don’t just offer great prices on junior swimsuits, we offer great prices on swimsuits for all women.

It is hard to find good prices on plus sized swimsuits, and we have them here.

I know… pretty sappy sales pitch.LOL

Is is really that difficult? http://blog.brookeboutique.com/2008/07/29/kindness-is-is-really-that-difficult/ http://blog.brookeboutique.com/2008/07/29/kindness-is-is-really-that-difficult/#comments Tue, 29 Jul 2008 00:56:23 +0000 brooke http://blog.brookeboutique.com/2008/07/29/kindness-is-is-really-that-difficult/ I have recently been reminded that we could all be a little kinder to one another. We run around from place to place, picking up kids, running errands. Sometimes we could all just take a minute and look around us.

Is it really so hard to stop for a minute, and actually be in the moment? Things have been really tough here in Michigan. People are losing their homes, their jobs. Simple acts of kindness like just making eye contact with another human being sometimes make the difference for people.

For years, i worked from my home. I got so lonely, i would actually pick up the phone when a telemarketer would call!When i moved my office out of my home,it made all the difference to me. Sigh

I could stop and get my coffee at the grocery store in the morning. Chat at the bank. You would think that i waste more time doing all that. However, i think i get more done. Because now when i am at work, i am really working. Not surfing the net, reading my favorite blogs, folding laundry.

Some people are disciplined,and enjoy working from home. I am just not one of those people.

That is me whining.When you sell swimsuits you spend your whole year planning for 3 months. Then when it comes, you are so busy that each day you think you can’t do anymore than the previous day.Then at the end, you start to grieve and look forward to next year. LOL

I just had to have them! You will love these. We have them in fruit flops,as well as tennis hot flops,and volleyball hot flops. There is noone who will have these flip flops, you will truly be a trendsetter.

Everytime i look at my feet, i smile.They truly are fantastic!

It made me realize that the classic black & white never goes out of style.

The whole time i was going through the order, i was mentally matching up the handbags with our cute beach hats,and our rolling tote bags.

Talk about making an entrance! Black & White will go with any color combination. It can be a neutral, or more flashy if you want it to be. It just never goes out of style.
