Every girl needs a bag that looks like a caterpillar, right? I’m sure I’ve heard that somewhere. Thank goodness I found one. OK, so it’s not exactly a staple, but it’s pretty fun, isn’t it? And it really does remind me of an American Dagger Moth Caterpillar. Don’t be too impressed. I Googled “fuzzy caterpillar” and looked at pictures until I found what I was picturing in my head. Most of what I know about caterpillars I learned from Alice and Wonderland. And from this bag.

First thing’s first: Today is the last day to enter the Lucky B Boutique Scarf GiveawayAt last count, there were only 20 entries. That means your chances of winning are pretty darn good. And your chances of getting tons of compliments on the scarf if you win it: even better.

OK. Moving on.

As much as I love fall, I kind of dread winter. Here in Indiana this past week, it seems like we hit the fast forward button on the calendar. “Oh, you like it when there’s a chill in the air? I’ve got a chill for you…” (That was the weather talking.)

So to help myself cope with the inevitable cold, I like to get a fun new coat each year. That way I have a reason to get excited for the first frost. You have to look for the silver lining, right? I think that’s a thing people say. This year, my new coat is this leather sleeved trench. I found my silver lining…or in this case, olive green lining.
