Flip Flop Mania!

Shopping in a market like Dallas is so exciting since we tend to see the latest trends here many times before the rest of the country. Dallas Market was a buzz with the latest stylish Rhinestone Flip Flops and we ~LOVE~LOVE~LOVE them! When you can get style and comfort in one thing, count yourself lucky. In these challenging economic times, we look for the best quality at the best price and are thrilled to offer these lovelies to you. Of course, because we love our bling we had to "add" a few "sparklies". The cheetah flops are embellished with gorgeous Swarovski Blue Zircon stones which go so well with the hair on hide background and rhinestone crown. We couldn't stop there so we added Rose Swarovski crystals to our fashionable Zebra flops! These are so fun to make that we hardly get anything else done these days! Help, I need a housekeeper so I can keep making on these! Look for new unique www.classysassycouture.com designs in the next few weeks. This weekend we're off to Central High School in Keller, Texas for our Spring show and hope to see you there for the launch of our new Rhinestone Flip Flops.

~Funky Friday~Its Back!

No more whining or complaining about Spring...look at this beauty from my garden. Its a blue iris and just popped up the other day. Mother Nature is good!

As you may have noticed, "Funky Friday" has been missing for the last few weeks from our site. The new website design and development has been eating my lunch so something had to slide. Anyway, its BAAACK and better than ever. This week's theme will be "PENDANT PASSION". We have lots of styles, shapes and colors so get them while you can. We'll also be offering "FREE SHIPPING" Friday only for our pendants. They make wonderful, unique Mother's Day gifts.

Rudy has also been busy creating new "handcrafted pens" in his workshop. Check our website for new styles and colors. He can also engrave a name or special phrase on most any of the pens for a small fee. Drop us an email if you have a special request. Great Father's Day gift!!

Until later~Becky

Easter Blessings

I visited my Mother in Florida during Easter and wanted to share these lovely flowers from her garden. An update on the azaleas I so wanted to see ~ most were gone but I did see a few blooms.

Unfortunately, the Easter Lilies had not started blooming, but I know they'll be lovely when they do. Its so amazing to see God's work in nature. On Sunday, I was able to enjoy the annual Easter gathering at my counsin's home. There is always LOTS of wonderful southern food, so I don't even try to watch my diet or observe portion control on those days! We had the best time together and I love visiting with them. They always make you feel so welcome and are truly interested in your life! I wish I could see them more often as they are such fine people and we have the best laughs and conversations. My Mother is the oldest of 10 children so I have no shortage of cousins. We enjoyed meeting Emily, the newest "bundle of joy" ~ who was only 3 days old on Easter Sunday. She is a real beauty and will be loved and cherished by all I'm sure. Can't wait to see her on my next trip.

Spring has sprung in Texas so look for more pictures of our Spring line of pendants, necklaces and new Denim Jackets.

Until later.....Blessings~ Becky and Susan

Spring Commeth and Goeth

~Okay, I don't know who is in charge of the weather lately here in North Texas but I think our patience is being tested! In the last 3 weeks we've gone from 80 one day to golf ball size hail and then 40-50 mph winds! Before I moved to the area more than 3 years ago I didn't pay much attention to wind but man oh man...its a bear to deal with here in our area. First, the girls in my family have "lots" of hair so trying to style and spray my hair is getting quite expensive. I've bought good hairspray, heavy hairspray, etc. but to no avail. Anyway, I want Spring and I want it without the wind! Enough whining....we could be in 10 inches of snow right?

~Blogging Inspiration~

I woke up super early this morning...around 3:45 am for some reason. Couldn't go back to sleep so decided to get up and take advantage of the extra quiet time. As I began to think about what I would write today I remembered an article I read last night in "Artful Blogging". If you haven't seen this journal, its a must read for newbies to blogging which I certainly am. Its filled with inspiration and creative blogs. Some tips I learned were: 1)write from the heart and be sincere, your audience are mostly simple folks who want someone to relate to; 2) don't be afraid to share your art....creativity is like the fishes and loaves story in the Bible...as you share your ideas, they feed others' creativity and then they are inspired; and 3) I would add that its also like the movie a few years ago called "Pay it Forward". Anyway, I hope these ideas help to improve my Blog as I go forward. I continue to work very hard at trying to find just the right niche to relate to others out there so please leave your comments....I'm on a serious learning curve!

Next week I'll be going to Florida to visit my Mother for a few days and have been asking every week "Are the Azaleas still blooming?" If you know anything about the south you know they have bragging rights on these glorious flowers. Last year when I visited my Mom we visited Bellingrath Gardens where the azaleas and these purple flowers were some of the many beauties from the gardens. Since I have a "brown" thumb I can't tell you the name of the flower! Unfortunately, the azaleas will mostly be finished blooming when I arrive next week but I'm sure there will be other beauties to enjoy! I'll take some pictures and share next time! Until later......Becky
