Faye At Play Encounter

This is more of a local post so, for my friends in other parts of the country bare with me.

This weekend, I went to a fund raiser for our school district. (A PTO President's work is never done:-) Anyway, they had a jewelry dig hosted by Faye. She is the owner of a local high end boutique and appears frequently on a local talk show that I watch everyday. She has got the best fashion sense and to be honest, I have a little girl crush on her.

Anyway, I went to her table to partake in the dig when she ran up to me and slipped this on my wrist. Isn't it cute? I was wearing a black wrap dress and must have looked completely under accessorized but I didn't care. It worked with my outfit:-)

She was the sweetest thing to me and in that brief encounter with my girl crush, I felt all high fashion:-) My new goal is to drop 80 more pounds to buy something awesome from her shop. By then, I should have enough saved to afford it too:-)

Vacation

We tackled a FABULOUS weekend!! We traveled 4 hours north with a couple of friends to Harris, MI to stay at The Island Resort and Casino. It was AWESOME! The drive didn't seem like 4 hours because the company was so comfortable. The rooms were clean, the tables were entertaining and the slots were fun. We gambled to our hearts content, relaxed in the pool and tried new things. It was an all around great time:-)

It was an really good deal. We paid $65 on Thursday and $85 on Friday. For that price, we had a really comfortable and tidy room. We also got 2 free drinks, 2 $5.oo coupons for meals and $10 in cash to gamble with. We used every one of them!! We also took advantage of their player's card that offered discounts and points towards stuff in the gift shop. Check out this little number that I picked up with my points:

Isn't this cute? It is a beautiful bag made of recycled ties, belts, belt buckles and jewelry....a one-of-a-kind:-) I love that it is so bohemian and green:-) The trip was worth it just for this purse alone:-)
