Vera Bradley Mod Floral Pink…or Mod Floral Blue?
January 13, 2009 By 4 Comments
Which do you like better - the Vera Bradley Mod Floral Pink fabric or Mod Floral Blue?
If you are curious as to why I am asking...
Well, it has been some time since I had a giveaway - come to think of it, it was last year! Actually, it was just last month (in December 2008), but if you are from my neck of the woods, the days really do drag by during the month of January - and one month does sometimes feel like an entire year!
To get back on subject, I have a few items set aside that I would like to give away, but I am having trouble deciding which one to put up for grabs next. So, I think I will let you help me!
I have put up a quick one week poll. To help me decide, all you have to do is vote...
Which Do You Like Better?
- Mod Floral Pink (60%, 34 Votes)
- Mod Floral Blue (40%, 23 Votes)
Total Voters: 57
Loading ...This poll is set to expire next Tuesday, January 20th. Once all votes are tallied, make sure you check back in to register for the giveaway!
If you're not sure which one you like better, check this out...
Both patterns feature a bold, beautiful flower pattern. However, the colors are what differentiates them.
The Vera Bradley Mod Floral Pink features flowers in varying shades of pink, accented with white, green, teal, and soft orange, on a brown background. If you loved the bag that Bree carried on Desperate Housewives last season, this is the pattern!
The Vera Bradley Mod Floral Blue features flowers in different shades of blue, as well as tan, teal, green and white. The flowers on this pattern are on a navy blue backdrop.
Well, I guess there's only thing left to do - vote!

Did You Have a Merry Christmas?
December 29, 2008 By 1 Comment
I hope everyone had a safe and blessed Christmas!
I'm sorry I have been missing in action for a little while. We had a terrible ice storm the Friday before Christmas. It knocked out our power for three entire days. As you can imagine, it put me a little behind on my holiday preparations, so some things (including posting here on this blog) got put to the backburner as I hustled and bustled around getting ready.
Anyway, everything is back to normal now. We ended up having a wonderful Christmas (with electricity!) - I hope you and your family did too!

I know that many of you have been wondering when and where the Spring 2009 Vera Bradley Outlet Sale will take place. As a matter of fact, I get a couple of e-mails every day with just that question. I have to admit it - I have been curious too!
I have good news...
I finally know the answer! I just found out that the spring sale is scheduled for Wednesday, April 29th, through Sunday, May 3rd. It will again be held in Fort Wayne, Indiana, at the Allen County Memorial Coliseum.
If you live out of state, and are planning to make a trip to Indiana to attend the Spring 2009 Vera Bradley Outlet Sale, you may be interested to know that construction of a new six story Holiday Inn hotel right across the street from the Allen County Memorial Coliseum has just been completed. From this new hotel, you could literally walk to the sale- it's that close!
Well, that's all the details I have for right now, but as soon as I find out more, you can bet that I will post them here!
Christmas Vera Bradley Patterns and Holiday Styles
December 1, 2008 By 4 Comments
Over the weekend, a reader sent me an e-mail asking if there were any Christmas Vera Bradley patterns. According to his e-mail, his wife had pointed out a holiday style while they were out and about, and he was hoping to get her a bag in that particular pattern as a gift.
Unfortunately, this year Vera Bradley did not release any holiday styles, although I think two new fall styles, Frankly Scarlet and Mediterranean White, could be considered "Christmasey" substitutes.
As for retired patterns, I was able to find down the following... [Read more...]

My son's fifth grade teacher will be receiving a Vera Bradley book cover this Christmas...
The past few days have been unseasonably chilly here in northern Indiana, which has prompted me to start thinking about Christmas! I have been working on my shopping list, and I have just checked my son's fifth grade teacher off of my list. We (my son and I) have decided to give her a quilted Vera Bradley paperback book cover for Chistmas.
