What's More Super than the Super Bowl?
Puppy Bowl IV on Animal Planet,
that's what!
Basically, the most precious puppies you'll ever see tackle each other on a miniature football field. It's way more entertaining than any old Super Bowl. And if they have an accident on the field they call a "Time Oust" and the ref. comes out, cleans up the mess and sprays Oust air freshener. It's really too cute. One pup is even named Mrs. Roper...really! Forget Tom Pettey, this show's half-time performers are the Kitty Cuties. And you can even vote for Most Valuable Puppy. Tucker was Maxwell's choice, Dixie was Buffett's. Here are a few shots of our MVPs post-game.

This is a light, playful fragrance created for Audrey Hepburn by Master Perfumer Olivier Creed. I promise you'll want to bathe in the stuff! Available at Neiman Marcus.

Around for ages (your grandmother probably used it), this is a necessity in every girl's makeup bag. It's perfect for chapped hands and lips and even works wonders on blemishes. Available at Sephora.
Tide To-Go Pen
You must, must, must have one in your handbag. It has gotten me out of many ink, food and wine-related mishaps. Available at Walgreens and other drugstores.

Miss Oops Sponges
If you're like me you're constantly getting deodorant and powder marks on your tops. This little sponge removes smudges completely. Available at Carriage House.
Jan Barboglio Home Accents
When you say "gorgeous, to-die-for stuff," this is the stuff you should be talking about. Her home accents and interiors are literally...well, gorgeous and to-die-for! I received one of her blessing crosses for Christmas and just adore it. Available at Carriage House.
Her necklaces make a statement but in a dainty, understated way. They are everyday wearable. Available at Carriage House.
Band-Aid Blister Block
If your Manolos, Choos and Louboutins are killing your feet this little remedy is a Godsend. Rub a small amount on trouble areas before you leave the house and you can be on your feet all day long worryfree. Available at Walgreens and other drugstores.

Great Music, Great Food, Great Stationery
Jesse Harris performed Thursday at Decatur's historic Princess Theatre. Beforehand, Carl and I hosted a pre-show gathering at our home. We hope everyone who came had a nice evening and hope they'll check out future performances at the theatre. Harris is an amazing talent who has written for Norah Jones and Willie Nelson, among others. He won a Grammy for "Don't Know Why," the song that helped launch Jones' career. If you missed the show please check out his website and listen to his haunting ballads.
Friday I helped my dear friend Ashley Ashwander at her store The Paper Chase. She has such an amazing space. She carries the most adorable invitations and stationery and has lots of unique gifts. If you collect Vera Bradley luggage this is your spot. She has an entire section dedicated to the collection. I left with a set of wonderful Printess Douthit cards, the book, "This Little Piggy Went To Prada," (wait for an entire post dedicated to this fabulous book!) and ordered the cutest chocolate notecards displaying my initials. I hope she'll ask me back! I sure enjoyed the day.
That evening we celebrated friend John Penley's 30th birthday with dinner at Simp McGhee's Restaurant. Unfortunately, Carl couldn't be there because he was preparing for a deposition. He missed a fun time. Sue Ellen, John's wife, organized everything and there was quite a crowd. The meal, as always, was delicious. If you ever have the opportunity to dine at Simp's jump at it. I'd recommend the Chicken Speegle or Medallions of Beef Tenderloin. Carl's favorite is the lamb. Red Zeppelin Syrah is a great wine to pair with dinner.
