I am feeling pretty upbeat about my new Jammy Beans. In fact, I actually think I have fallen in love. No, these are not candies, although I must admit you can almost taste the colors, twelve to be exact. I have two; red and blue. I’m already craving more, and for sure will be buying them before I depart this fall for Cabo. What makes these simple sleepshirts such … Read More
I have been thinking a great deal lately about why I started this blog 5 years ago. I wanted to showcase merchandise worthy of display, to enhance the buyers exposure to the best there is in the market and to continue my support for creative pioneers. But, when the subject matter is Lingerie, there is an entirely different processor at work. We are now addressing the heart of a woman’s … Read More
When I sold my family house 3 years ago, I purged the majority of my belongings, the most difficult of which was a library, filled with books (yes real hard and soft cover books) that I had collected over many years.

Even though we were isolated outdoors, without plumbing or electricity, he was able to transform an ordinary … Read More
From the time I was a very young girl, I disliked the feeling of anything body confining. Born in the early 50’s my mother thought girdles were a rite of passage. I cleared that notion up quickly.

I have something I want to say today and so, I digress from our regular story flow. Yesterday, I read a very upsetting blog posted by my colleague, Cora Harrington, founder and publisher of The Lingerie Addict. Apparently the integrity of this very popular and very well curated website has been compromised by a very “sick” individual. A man who goes by the name of Tom Slew has invaded … Read More
