And another one bites the dust...
Tiffany's specialty pearl jewelry store Iridesse is officially going out of business. My wedding necklace came from Iridesse, as did my last anniversary gift, a pair of beautiful pearl earrings. I adore pearls and I am despondent that this cute little shop is going out of buisness. I am even more upset that I don't currently have the funds to take advantage of the 50-70% off sale going on in Iridesse stores rights now.

Happy Hump Day
Thank goodness we've moved beyond VHS, otherwise my New Moon tape would surely break at the shirtless Italy scene. DELISH!

Brand New Season of Gilmore Girls
Image via Wikipedia
Its a Lie! So, I was super excited to see that ABC was announcing a "brand new season" of the Gilmore Girls, which from the looks of the advertisement, could have been the real deal. I was of course skeptical, after all the show has been off the air for quite some time. An internet search showed that ABC was airing a season that was "new to them" but not new to the adoring legions of Gilmore Girls fans. Sorry folks, there is no "Gilmore Girls 2009" or "Gilmore Girl Season 7." Unless, you count the virtual Gilmore Girls fan fiction...which is headed into Season 10!23 May 2009
