Thursday morning here in Little Rock, raining. I'm really excited about two things...we can all vote on the historic Hope Diamond's new setting, to be unveiled in 2010.

Go to http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/site/smithsonian/hope.html and cast your vote.

I like #1 the best...

Also Stanley's will be participating in the first "Out of the Box Bridal" event in Little Rock, on Sept. 10. It's at Pavilion In The Park, and if you are interested in attending, please let me know.

It's a small, non-stress event, the polar opposite of local "Bridal Fairs."
