Tom Bihn Bags

Sophisticated, and extremely high-quality are the bags manufactured by Tom Bihn, in Seattle Washington.Tom Bihn feels strongly about maintaining control of the quality of the products, and refuses to outsource to overseas manufacturers. Instead he relies on a great group of folks who hand sew the bags, using only the best materials. Kudos to you, Tom Bihn!

I'd go so far as to say these bags will probably last a lifetime. And we were quite impressed to see the amount of interest in these products while doing our research. Seems everybody wants a Tom Bihn bag...a true "gotta-have" product!

Each Tom Bihn bag is customizable, and comes equipped with removable "extra bags" or compartments, a great choice of colors, removeable shoulder straps...they've really thought of everythig.

We reviewed the Imago Laptop Bag. The Imago is an open-top bag that closes with a flap  buckle. Under the flap, on the front of the bag, are two pockets: one curved open-top and one zippered, plus three places to snap your key strap (included) or Organizer Pouch. Inside the main compartment are two deep pouch pockets that work well for organizing power adapters, or storing energy bars. On the back, a flat pocket is perfect for magazines or a newspaper. A removable waist strap secures the bag to your body when you're the move, which makes the Imago a great bag to use when you're riding a bike.

On both sides of the Imago are small pockets designed to securely carry portable electronic devices such as cell phones, iPods/MP3 players or PDAs. Lined with Ultrasuede® and closed by"splash-proof"  zippers, these snug little pockets also provide scratch-free storage for eyewear.

While the Imago does not have a built-in spot for a laptop, you can slip the Soft Cell laptop sleeve or Brain Cell laptop case inside the main compartment, transforming it into an efficient and protective laptop messenger bag.

You can't buy Tom Bihn bags in stores...but you can grab one of your own at www.tombihn.com or if you're lucky enough to live in Seattle, be sure to visit their factory showroom.

dex & stella

If you haven't heard of the fabulous jewelry line of dex & stella yet...it won't be long before you do. Amanda Patterson is the brainstorm behind this versatile line of jewelry, and the attention to detail and design in each piece is evident.

dex & stella sent two beautiful pieces for review. What we loved most was the fact that each could be worn in so many different ways!

The first piece was a unique freshwater pearl strand, with wonderful shades of ivory and iridescent lilac, in an extra long length for versatility. This could be worn tied into a dramatic knot, doubled into layers, or wrapped around the wrist as bracelet. See what we mean? Creative for sure!

The second piece was created with Burma jade, yellow Botswan agate, smokey topaz and gold stone, set against the lightest of silver links. So pretty. The length could be adjusted easily, and worn as a necklace or a bracelet.

Dex and Stella's website is a great place to browse and pick up some great pieces for the women on your holiday shopping list.

Trendy, sophisticated, stylish... visit dex & stella.

SPUD Fudge

I have a confession to make. My absolute favorite food and my absolute weakness  is potatoes...any way. Mashed, whipped, baked, loaded with carbs and calories. And then my second...chocolate.

So, you can imagine what it felt like to have the privilege of reviewing Spud Fudge...a creamy, rich fudge made with potatoes!! Go figure. How lucky am I?

Sandee Tuck of Sandee's Candee's is the genius behind this gourmet delight.  It takes twelve steps tp prepare Spud Fudge, and the potatoes replace 1/3 of the sugar. So, her theory is...you can eat 1/3 more fudge! The fudge she prepares, still by hand, come in a variety of of flavors and shapes, but the one that has created the most excitement is the "baked potatoe replica". Complete with the look of butter, sour cream, and even foil. Innovative.

Sandee's fudge is being discovered...even airing on Food Network. You know what that means. It's a great product, and you will want it! You can purchase Spud Fudge here!
