  • Suze Orman: Where to put your money now
    “If you’re in a 401(k) plan and you’ve been investing every month and you’ve been watching the markets go down, the biggest mistake you could make is stop investing now. ” This is reassuring advice for me and mine.

  • Northwest to cut 2,500 jobs, raise fees
    On top of cutting jobs, NWA will “begin charging $15 for a passenger’s first checked bag and service fees for frequent-flier tickets. It also will boost fees for ticket changes.” Guess we’d better cash in our frequent-flier miles ASAP.

Unusually Stylish

thank-you cards

I tend to read Dooce‘s Daily Style section and just be amazed at all the kitschy, swanky, stylish stuff she can find. So, when I was in Barnes & Noble recently and found this in the clearance bin, I couldn’t pass it up.

While I’m not usually one to glom onto delicate cuteness in baby blue, and I don’t often have occasion to send Thank You cards, I thought these cards by Pepperpot were classy and well-designed, and I appreciated the small-press personal touch with the tie and tag around the cards.

The kicker? The keepsake box. Not only is it fairly strong and sturdy, but the lid has magnets to snap the lid shut. MAGNETS. In the LID. That appeals to my packrat nature in so many ways.

Now I wish I could find more. Alas, an Amazon search doesn’t turn up much that isn’t baby books.
