Thursday Randomness

I have some random thoughts for you today!
I have tried a few new wines lately and wanted to share! I have always loved Malbec wine but recently it is the only wine I have drinking.

Catena was a wine we had for my birthday dinner and I found it at our HEB grocery store! Great wine for less than $15! Like I had mentioned last week, it is dry and semi-bold.

This wine, Finca El Origen is WONDERFUL!! I believe I bought this wine at Costco (or HEB) and it was less than $15 as well. I love this wine and will be getting more very soon. It is a nice dry Malbec and not to bold.

I have been wanting to do more painting lately but just have not had time. 
This is a piece that I would like to try and use as a guide on something to create for my living room. I love the pink, blues and orange!


It didn't take long but I have already found the next TB piece I want!
I am loving the foldover messenger bags that you can also carry as a clutch!
How versatile...I think I am trying to justify another handbag in my closet!
I am also finally finished with Gone Girl. It was a great book but started a little slow. I will tell you that it isn't anything as you imagine it will be, in a good way! It definitely wasn't the loving & sweet book I have been use to but I highly recommend you read it! 


and here is a quote that I love



I hope you enjoy your Thursday!!

There are multiple things I love about this post. First, MALBEC! I feel like most people don't know about this wine, but it is tasty. It's definitely my favorite red wine. Second, that TB bag. I'm in love. And third, the quote. Such a great and needed reminder. I love it!

I really like that painting!!

I have yet to try a Malbec, which is strange because I have a bottle and I've been meaning to try it! But I kind of wanted to wait until I had someone to drink it with, because what if I don't like it that much? I don't want to waste an entire bottle!! Thanks for the recommendations, by the way!

I love that painting! It's such a neat conversation piece, especially if it starts with "Yeah, I totally painted that". TB can do no wrong. That purse is so cute!

1. I love your wine carafe.
2. Love that painting. It's just so bright and happy.
3. Love the TB. Swoon.

I'm adding both of these wines to my list of wines to try. Check and check! Pretty painting...can't wait to see what you create! And great minds think alike...I'm looking for a smaller, light weight bag for the fall. My back has had it with my heavy bags! And last but not least, that quote is perfect. I love it and try to remind myself of that very thing daily. Happy Thursday, friend! :)
Cheers,
Sara

I loved Gone Girl. It definitely took a little while to pick up, but when it did, I could not put it down.

Love that bag! You can never too much Tory!

So cool that you paint! Malbec is Mr. C's fave wine, I will add those to my every growing list! The TB bag is gorgeous. And that quote is one of my favorites:) Happy almost Friday!!

That painting is gorgeous! I was actually just at TB last night and fell in love with that handbag, but I went with a different one. xo

Danavee said...

Gone Girl......insane......couldn't put it down.

Sarah said...

That TB bag is amazzzing.

Gone Girl is our next book club book and I am so excited to read it!! (Ps I got your email and will get you on the schedule soon!!)

I love the wine decanter (that's what they are called right? The jug that says "wine") really pretty!! I am not a big red wine person I prefer whites. The painting looks amazing...i like the colors. And I am in the middle of Gone Girl....so let me know beforehand if you do a post on it so i don't read a spoiler LOL!! :)

That bag is to die for! Love it! Must go Google...
