They always surprise me, however, when they can quickly rephrase the quote into kidspeak. According to son #2, “It means if you help someone, good things will happen.” In that spirit, I am listing links to the businesses of a handful of my friends. Anyone willing to put themselves out there with a business of their own deserves some wind in their sails every now and then. Be sure to mention that you saw them on my blog (I am actually trying to gauge audience interest in different products) or feel free to post a comment here to let me know your thoughts (you can even just anonymously check a box if you liked this post : ) Thank you in advance for visiting my friends! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.friendswhodesign.com/Custom_Handbags.html" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423366637559765314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGXqEFmmVfDv6kul2QQxQbgZdGU5NyXxY7Mm7RGZtZdUraU1QWk6C5Op8VU_h0N53n8juEeH1nFLFS8I0PeFTbfKWNKVipbJbCPQ5XOPVNaLK9BsqKhlhA4B6-Nz6bGmAXzyd2pl9P4bE/s400/BagsbyJane%E2%80%93ad.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 160px;" /></a> People always stop me when I am carrying a bag by <a href="http://www.friendswhodesign.com/Custom_Handbags.html">Jane Skelley</a>. </div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://orantamillwork.com/" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423379660936588658" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitMAJTiBlzBI4QaYV2LL9YuDsfg-RHmdB7M57HlsEC39pIwzGaA-3PjQLr8ZlCuCXhJl0xvCbjxR06HuY4Dye5m21s6aEKCvk3e9sYVjI4vzNzUSjFv0yPuzWRpkfqKdgbbKK2aOqmsOk/s400/orantamillwork_ad.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 111px;" /></a> I am putting <a href="http://orantamillwork.com/">Oranta Millwork</a> in my own home ... soon! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.wigglesandgigglesfun.com/" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423375635459473282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw1ybYtcx_k9SQNp1rJurZdFX7fItVO1QJkZWMs8xKVACFOTN8xddmzjxnbD5YJRviXYFzM0VTiwyg-7djaZXWcFGuvG7Y9Yab_kpBiMfOGo_cRr6PgFDPOZRSI_TtllAFfuIzMQP7mus/s400/wigglesandgiggles_ad.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 160px;" /></a> If you have young children and live in the Boston/North Shore area, you will love<a href="http://www.wigglesandgigglesfun.com/"> Wiggles & Giggles</a> for party entertainment or parent-and-tot classes. <a href="http://www.taggartstudio.com/Schedule_of_Classes.html" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424055031876207874" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA9B7r_YXGCOPkerFFBJnSwtK-QBE5L3coSjF-wJZw_PSVnczh8PwfBQaEjCMH3ETnsoTz9zPUSN5FgUUsndukpnRerTgE4bSIqG05u_Aeb_N_LONKQo2mlfRIVaaA4hDvQ_Rpdp_DCAk/s400/TaggArtLotusBanner_ad.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 157px;" /></a> Special creative workshops at <a href="http://www.taggartstudio.com/Schedule_of_Classes.html">TaggArt Studio</a> are looking good!

When I came up with the idea for the site, I did not have any experience with blogging. Nowadays, I finder it quicker to share information through this blog, but I still update the Friends site often. Check it out and be sure to share it with your friends! </div>

I was able to join her, and the many other talented designers and artisans who revitalized spaces at the Club, for the gala event celebrating the completion of the project. Since Pat had chosen a gray palette for her sophisticated bath renovation, I decided to wear a gun-metal gray cocktail dress that, if it came in any other colors, I surely would have bought them all (it was one of those perfect fit, perfect price moments)! After finding this fabulous frock (I am not showing the whole dress because I will wear it again!) and then a perfect pair of pumps, I called my talented friend, handbag designer, <a href="http://friendswhodesign.com/Custom_Handbags.html">Jane Skelley</a> to see what she had available to complement my ensemble in her custom-made collection. She quickly emailed a few photos from her inventory, and the one shown above was just what I had in mind. Since I always receive so many compliments when I carry one of her bags, I decided I had to share her work on my blog. </div> <div style="text-align: left;">Here are some stylish totes from her spring collection ... contact Jane at sjskelley@comcast.net to snag one for yourself (shipping is available). Each bag is unique, featuring a different combination of fabrics, trims, handles, shapes and sizes. They are “perfect for any occasion, day or night” and for you girls out there who *adore* fabric as much as I do, they are the ultimate accessory to decorate an outfit! Ask about hosting an at-home handbag party (how I was first introduced to Jane) or visiting her at an upcoming shopping event. The hardest part is deciding which one to pick. Here are some of my designer tips to help you in your quest for the perfect bag ... </div></div> <div style="text-align: center;">If you are fashion-forward ... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSNdtWmsdeyrQqqfib6O8rz3LZRPsCbD_6GqgtITNrp-7Q-22pPSDsxVbJS6VKvnVBzxqQXvF4kkZ719RJkfhgY9uNripI6MdxHikYGXQXInBeUe7WN_ug4HllSmNtg_3sryF128AagpI/s1600-h/redstripe-lg-JS.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322100124969781874" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSNdtWmsdeyrQqqfib6O8rz3LZRPsCbD_6GqgtITNrp-7Q-22pPSDsxVbJS6VKvnVBzxqQXvF4kkZ719RJkfhgY9uNripI6MdxHikYGXQXInBeUe7WN_ug4HllSmNtg_3sryF128AagpI/s400/redstripe-lg-JS.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
