happy monday in late july
Monday, July 23, 2012

Good morning! How was your weekend? I logged in some work hours but also made it over to check out the Laguna Art Fair, plus was able to catch To Rome With Love, set in my favorite city. Penelope Cruz stole the show in my book. If you're a Woody Allen fan, I think you'll like it. This morning, it's back to work...

I always love a good cup of strong coffee, especially on Mondays, and today I'll need it--there's so much on the To-Do list. Our Fall 12 bags are almost finished + Fall nail colors will be ready soon, and lots of Winter 13 bags are piling up for production. In the midst of this, I enlisted some help to reorganize the office, so it's been an ebb and flow of chaos lately.

Please tell me I'm not the only one already day dreaming about next weekend...

I had a busy weekend.... kind of the story of my life lately! Lukus actually had yesterday off, so we had errands to run. Alas, today will be busy as well... I may need some coffee as well!
Glad you had a filled weekend! Can't wait to see the new bags!

Happy Monday, Mary Jo! I'm waiting very patiently for your new line, but I am very curious. :) I am a big Woody Allen fan, but I can't believe that the film hasn't arrived in our cinemas yet. xo

The Laguna Art Fair sounds wonderful. One of these days I might catch you at an event in socal! Hopefully I do! :) I really love that lace dress outfit paired with the biker jacket. Have always loved a sweet/tough combo!

The weekends run away from us far to fast!! Though it sounds like you have some exciting projects happening - so its not all too bad? And if things get to chaotic, coffee is always there for you ;)

Hope you're having a top week lovely! Thanks for your comment.
I am also a coffee person, without it in the mornings I feel like I can't start the day properly!
I just adore the biker jacket and white lace combo pic!

WOW, you do have a lot going, Mary Jo ... I'm VERY busy too but now I feel like I should hop to it even more! lol Much success with your fabulous bags .. you should do a post on "a day in the life of a designer" and show us how these lovely things are imagined by you and created, I'm sure everyone would love to see! Thanks so much for stopping by and your sweet words ~ always a treat! xo

I'm glad to hear you liked To Rome with Love since it's on my list. The movies are a great way to beat the heat in the summer.
You sound quite busy but in a good way :) Hope your week is off to a lovely start Mary Jo!
