Barneys sale

Barneys pre-sale was in full-swing today and the shoe department put these away for me. Gorgeous green leather Marni platform heels piped in gray suede. 40 percent off.

They also had these Prada studded heels in eggplant and tan cracked leather.

One more reason to love Central Market

I love getting some kind of free gift during the holidays. Perfect bonus for me or for passing off to someone else as a thoughtful gesture. Beginning this Friday, Central Market is giving each customer who purchases more than $50 a free Wusthof set - pairing knife and kitchen shears.

Pastry Queen book signing

I wish I could've stayed in Austin a few more days because tomorrow, December 3 Gardens is hosting Rebecca Rather for a gathering and signing of her new book, Pastry Queen Parties. Rather, an award-winning chef and native Texan, owns Rather Sweet and Rebecca's Table in Fredericksburg and is known for her scrumptious creations that all have nods to this amazing state of ours. This is her third book and she'll be greeting and meeting from 4-7 pm Thursday, December 3 at Gardens in Austin.

Dallas has snow

Big slushy sheets of snow starting to fall about an hour ago.
It's stopped raining so it's beginning to stick. Droopy roses and palm trees.
