Saturday Spotlight: Angela Moore

Do you ever get a catalog that you can just close your eyes, flip through it and point and know you'll love what you're pointing at? That's the Angela Moore catalog to me. There are so many beautiful things in it from colorful bracelets and earrings, to home goods, to beautiful dresses! The main theme of it all is COLOR-lots of it! Here are some of my favorites, although I love everything there!

I'm not a big dangle earring fan, I'm more a small earring type gal. The Larkspur Lane Post Earrings are gorgeous! The selection of earrings is huge!! $20

This tie would look so cute on my husband. The Set Sail Tie in blue is just one of many pretty and colorful ties for the guys! Your tie will definitely be noticed, plus a tie doesn't have to be stuffy, it can be fun too! $55

This vase is my favorite-Sweet Pea. Perfect for adding a burst of color to your home, and even prettier with a bouquet of flowers! $15
