Blooming all year long – Mad by Design

I always wished that I had a green thumb. When I first met my husband, he asked me to take care of his plants. He was going to Houston (from Providence) and staying for a few months in order to open up some nightclubs (he owned restaurants & clubs in RI at the time). I was staying in his apartment, keeping things in order for him. When he returned…his plants were all DEAD. Yes, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. I killed them all.

To this day, I can’t have potted plants. Cut flowers I can keep alive for longer than expected though. I guess it’s because I just love flowers.

Mad by Design has created  a line of Floral Handbags, that you don’t have to have a green thumb to wear. Made of silk taffeta the fabric shimmers and changes colors depending upon how the light hits them. They’re luminous and delicate. If you’re in the mood for a bit of whimsy and you LOVE flowers these will fit the bill. Fun, funky and young – Mad by Design has created a line of purses that will appeal to young teenagers all the way up through adults.

While I find them to be more for evening (for my taste), I could see them being worn as every day purses by teens and young adults. Not only for wearing in the spring and summer, these floral bags will brighten even the grey winter days with their colorful blooms.

You can purchase their bags at purse parties and boutiques from the Four Seasons to the Smithsonian gift shop, and even on QVC. Whether you fancy Sunflowers, Lotus, Peonies or Roses you can wear your favorite flowers (or even tuck one in your purse in the form of a wallet).

All Mad by Design accessories are animal friendly (mine is made of silk), which makes them the perfect gift for your eco-conscious friends.

Thank you to Mad by Design for providing product for this review. I was in no way compensated and all opinions are strictly my own.

    For comparison, a hair on your head is about 80 microns.
    Simply place the unit in a central location in your home and
    select the desired cleaning setting to match the size
    of your environment as well as fan speed
    and Fresh – Air Surround’s mold-killing vapor will
    arrest mold growth in as little as 2- 4 hours. Being like a tower, it occupies
    little space keeping the floor space free.

    Different services can help you find the perfect place for you and
    advice you what to do to reach it. Distinctive and fashionable, baby diaper bags in camo designs are perfect for dad.
    If you have very large lenses, they probably won’t fit, but
    for a couple of extra lenses, you can design the interior to hold your equipment.

    I also hear that my cousin is very pleased immediately after he
    purchased it lately. With the one cup machine, you sip
    freshly made coffee, whenever as you don’t have to worry concerning
    the stale coffee lounging around your coffee pot or reheating your coffee again and again.
    For many people, the expensive and high-end coffeemakers seem to be considered a bit excessive for their needs.

    Everyone agrees that more tests should be done
    and that the dangers of this chemical in combination with others has still never been widely studied.
    These might be colors that you would be scared to decorate
    with in large volumes such as your paint color.
    Begin by setting your tables with pink tablecloths and black disposable dinnerware.
