Do you think those were pearls that Wilma wore? Or a chunky white turquoise necklace? a trendsetter before her time? Love you, Wilma.

Ready for the Beach

My little girlies and I took off for an early spring break this past weekend. But before you get all envious of our weekend getaway, we were the "April Fools" sitting by the heated pool in the cold and wind! Irregardless of the weather, just packing my beach stuff is enough to shake winter from my mind.  I wanted to share with y'all all the great beach resort necessities I've added to the site.

Check out our cute pull on terry swim cover ups in pink or black with free monogram. You know I have to coordinate our swim cover up with this too cute black and white polka dot beach bag, monogram it too if you like!

Here is another terry swim cover up in aqua and lime which can also be monogrammed.

And of course I found a matching monogrammed beach bag to go with the swim cover up!

These are soft, thick and luxurious personalized beach towels to coordinate your whole beach look!

I still have a few Mudpie Starfish Beach Tunics left, but they have been selling like crazy at The Cotton Company. Our customers are also loving the matching canvas floppy sun hat by Mudpie! More sun hat colors are available at CarolinaClover.com

Still have a few Preppy Pink and Green Cooler Totes from Mudpie! Checkout the matching canvas floppy sun hat too.

Art After Hours, Historic Downtown Wake Forest

Every second Friday of the month, Historic Downtown Wake Forest comes alive with what is known as "Art After Hours". Downtown merchants are open until 9pm, with their door propped open on mild evenings welcoming you in to take a look around. Our downtown is totally unique with its boutique shops, restaurants, cafes, and art galleries. Sometimes you'll hear musicians playing on the street, in the shops or in the cafes, there is always something new at Art After Hours.


The Cotton Company features an Artists Reception and Wine Tasting during Art After Hours. Stroll through The Cotton Company Gallery to see the Artists work being featured that month, maybe get a chance to meet him/her and to take a look at The Cotton Company's resident artists' displays. Sip on the feature wine as you stroll the gallery. You can't leave The Cotton Company without strolling through the Marketplace to see over 60 boutiques, artists and crafts - you are sure to find a unique treasure for yourself, your home, or a gift.

Wake Forest Coffee Company is down the street, and you'll have to stop in to see what is brewing. Upstairs from the Coffee Company is the Twisted Vine Wine Shoppe.  Our favorite Mexican restaurant is Las Margaritas, located underneath The Lemon Tree Boutique and Cafe.  Stop in to have some dinner or hit Backfins Crabhouse for some seafood.

Our next Art After Hours is this Friday, March 11th from 6-9pm.  Come to your historic downtown and see what's going on!

I'll see you there!

When is the Easter Bunny Coming?

Do you hear this in your house? 


With two kids in my house we've already heard it. They are waiting for their next basket of goodies. It starts with Halloween...bag of goodies! Christmas...bags and bags of goodies! Valentine's Day...ANOTHER bag of goodies! Easter....yet another BAG OF GOODIES.


I don't know about y'all, but we are doing less sugar in this house and moving more towards little gifties that the children would nag the life outta me to buy at the store. So this year, when Easter comes on April 24, 2011. I'll fill these cute little personalized Easter baskets full of little gifts they believe they can't live without.


The greatest thing about these personalized Easter baskets is after Easter, my kids can use these baskets in their room to store their stuff, and since they aren't babies anymore, these baskets are great for kids of all ages!

Spring is only a few weeks away!
