glassybaby
05 June 2007
Flowers wilt, chocolates melt, forever - that’s glassybaby’s tag line. Enter the world of magical glass candles. They make me happy. I collect them. My friends give me them for birthdays and other special occasions. I have them all over my house, clustered or individual, adding color to my life and my days. Truly they are magical!

Once you own a Vera Bradley, you totally fall in love with the company! This truly is a company that is about the experience. From their advertising to their communications with their retailers to their new mix of product, Vera Bradley represents to me the quintessential to it right company. They are also very involved with a charity and create product and promotion around this! Love you, Vera Bradley.

Reconnects food to its roots
farm 255
27 May 2008
Farm 255 is a restaurant that seeks to reconnect food to its roots and people to their food. They serve local, seasonal and sustainable food for supper nightly. In addition to the Farm they manage Full Moon Farms, a seven-acre organic/biodynamic farm in Athens, Georgia. Unlike the owners of any other restaurant in the Athens area owners know of, they are the folks sowing turnip seeds in the morning and cooking turnip greens in the evening. They supplement their harvests with those of other local family farmers and ranchers that avoid harmful chemicals and practice sustainable agriculture. Their menu, based on seasonal shifts in the field, changes as often as the weather. Their meat comes from pasture-raised animals and is hormone and antibiotic free. They purchase whole animals and use all the various cuts of meat throughout their menu.
