Watch this video to see how the big heart of Dallas designer, Samuel Bistrian, is determined to keep the little feet of Romanian children dry and warm.

Roma is offering free shipping through Dec. 31, 2011.  Everyone needs a pair of rain boots!  Give a pair for Christmas and receive the gratification of knowing that you’ve provided comfort and joy to a child.

Katie Fuerst is one of the sweetest and most creative people I know.  Her precious Halloween plates are such fun!  If you have a little one, you’ve got to head to her home on October 10th or 11th, 8:30 to 6:00, and create some memories with your kids!

Too Cool For School

September 22nd, 2011

I know…school has begun and I’m totally late at getting you info on cool backpacks for back to school…  But who says one backpack is enough?  Especially when there’s Madpax!

madpax

Mark and Shelley Hearne, owners of Random (located in Hillside Village in Lakewood) recently picked them up after a buying trip and said, “You will stand out from the crowd and carry your books and papers with some attitude in one of these.  Expect ROCK STAR status when you carry a Madpax.  Chose from a variety of bangin’ solid colors and radical reptile prints.  There are Halfpacks for the half-pints and Nibblers lunch totes too!”

Random is a super cool gift shop that has something for everyone!  If you’re not in Dallas, check them out on-line here!
