Roses are Red and Handbags are Blue!

Well since I last posted on my blog so much has happened, where shall I start ?. I went to London and cleaned up my apartment, sorted my new collection, visited retailers and family. I had the worst jetlag ever again and I am starting to think maybe I am too old for this commuting business. The good news is that my eldest son is having a baby, well obviously he is not having the baby my daughter in law is. I can now tell you that we had been worrying for over two months that the baby was going to be Downs Syndrome but we found out over Easter it is all OK… yippee doo. The fact that we know it is going to be a boy is actually irrelevant I am just happy he is going to be healthy. I of course am not sure what he will look like in the pretty pink dresses I had already bought for him…
So what else has happended well I gave a talk for the Accessories Council on Social Media for 60 of their members and it was really interesting and I hope they all enjoyed it and found it of use. We had a lot of people contact us since so I guess that is a good sign. I was so nervous but it went OK.
Izzi decided I need an iPad, why exactly he thought that I have no idea but off we went to the Apple Store and spent 2 hours waiting in line to even try one. He was really taken with it although I was not so happy to be touching it with all those other finger prints on it (Yuk!). Needless to say we had to have one, again my question was why do I need one and since having taken it out of the box all by myself I have not seen it since. So did I miss understand he bought me an iPad or did he just buy it for himself ? ummmm well see for yourself and you decide!
iPad for me or for you ?
I was feeling a bit under the weather at the weekend and have no explanation as to why or really what was wrong with me. Sometimes we just get days like that and regardless of whatever else is going on around you, like the fact that a Volcano has just erupted in Europe and noone can fly anywhere or that most of the world is covered in Ash is not important right then. Obviously I know that it is important and so many things around the world are being harmed by it, but I was just having one of those days and izzi
went out to get something from the store (Probably more pancakes I was thinking) and came back with these beautiful Roses for me. Am I a lucky girl or am I a lucky girl?
Roses are Red or Pink or Yellow, no matter Roses are Roses !
To finish off my week I will talk just about Food again so look what I brought back from Europe! if you need a chocolate hit feel free to stop by our house anytime and help yourself. Where so we live ? that is really easy we live in the building right near the Empire State Building. You know the one with the huge flashing handbag on to the top!
Easter Chocolate
Have a great week and if you remember only one thing about me today know that I realise how lucky I am to be in the sunshine, loved by a fabulous hubby and not covered in ASH !
St Patricks Day & More Food In New York
Filed Under (Uncategorized) by Anne on 29-03-2010
I was astounded to see just how much St Patrick’s Day means to the Irish in New York, forgive my ignorance, but it was amazing there were street parades and every bar in town was Green to the point of overkill!! But it was electric to see and really an emotional time, I felt really honored to be in the city and I have to say this picture below was the best thing I saw and was the icing on the cake (Excuse the Pun)
Empire State Building on St Patricks Day
And so where has izzi bag been in the last few weeks, it has been an amazing ride and adventure which I shall remember for the rest of my life. I have met some amazing people. I have been very priviliaged to become a member of the Accessories Council they have been an inspiration to me and helped in so many ways. Karen and Deborah have hooked me up with QVC and we are now in discussions about izzi
bags being shown on their channel which will be fantastic.
Of course as you all know my life revolves around food and my poor husband the Gorg izzi has to endure so many things. Feel sorry for him, as he is the world’s most awesome chef, I could never match him but I try. So here it is folks the one and only Anne’s famous Korma.
izzi eating or enduring Anne's Korma
and because I can see he was actually hiding the curry I thought of showing you what it really looked like, if I say so myself I think it looked passable more so than some of the curries I have ever eaten from the grubby Taj in SOHO, London.
Anne's Korma yummie dooo
Well London we are here for Easter and catching up with our family and seeing my son and his girlfriend’s scan of my grandchild, which is going to be so exciting. I am also so looking forward to seeing the first glimpse of the Sunday Night program that we taped two weeks ago. Seems like forever ago now but it will be such fun to see the finished article and let’s hope those camera men made me look thin and 10 years younger!! Send them to the Tower and Oft with their head’s if not.
I actually did a presentation to a board of directors as well about the necessity of social media in their business which was quite daunting but such great fun and am looking forward to the next one on the 13th April. If you are in New York and would like to attend please just let me know.
Well I think the
izzi
crew are packing for the trip back to Greenwich Village UK rather than New York so keep abreast of future adventures here at izzi Ville.
Before I go did I mention the new iPAD carry case that we have coming out, umm maybe I forgot that bit!
