Do You Know Gigi Hill?

If you don't, you should.  

My neighbor invited me to a Gigi Hill party at her house on Friday.  It just so happened that Erika had come to pick Noah up early that day so I went on over to see what this Gigi Hill thing was all about.  Actually, I knew enough about it to want to see more, because all I had heard was that Gigi Hill was a new company based in Yorba Linda, my hometown, founded by two ladies who designed wonderful oil cloth totes.  Well, I love Yorba Linda, I love purses and totes, and I especially love Oil Cloth!!!!  So off I went to the party.  I was so impressed by this line of bags!  I loved them!  They were extremely well made, cleverly designed, made with beautifully coordinating fabrics, and there was something for just about everyone.  From young moms needing diaper bag type totes, to a regular purse, make up bags, travel totes, reversible totes, overnight bags, etc.  You name it, they thought of it.  I was in desperate need of a new wallet.  So I was thrilled to discover they had a wallet that I loved.

I like this type of wallet, where everything stays inside, and there is no spilling out of the contents.

I keep a lot of crap good stuff in my wallet, and every single thing fit nicely.
I just so happened to love the fabrics of these three pieces that she had with her at the party.  But you can order your pieces in any fabric combo you like, and have it shipped to you.
I purchased the reversible tote.  A matching zip bag, which I had thought would be good for my ipad.  And then, the wallet, all in the same color combo.  

Each piece is named after a movie star.  How clever is that?  I can't remember all of the names of my pieces, and my daughter Gennifer took the brochure home to look at to see which ones she wants.  But I think that the color combo I got was called Tahiti Chocolate.  I could be wrong on that. I agreed to have a party in July.  I hope you can come. You will LOVE these bags!!!
I leave you with a couple sneak peeks  of the house paint.   I still have a couple things to do before showing the rest.  

The black shutters look great against the brick on the house.  
But my favorite of all..........

Is the Brick RED door I have always wanted.
Mr. G is still in a lot of pain and discomfort, although he did have a pretty good weekend.  We saw 2 movies, and went out to dinner, for the first time in 5 weeks, since this happened.  We are certainly hoping that this is a good sign.
My garden continues to be producing mass quantities of yellow squash and zucchini.  With cukes and peppers, and herbs and berries, all coming in now too.  

Man I love that yellow step stool!!!  
Happy Monday to all of you, wherever you may be!
