in a state of kate

for the next week or two i will be putting this note at the top of each of my postings because my blog is actually at a new url now. you may not notice it because my other url is re-directing. so if you haven't been here for a few days, PLEASE update your links to be www.goodtobegirl.com/blog. i would hate to lose you. BLOGLINES IS NOW WORKING :)

and to address the many comments about my new jane austen books, the publisher is the book of the month club. i know my friend orders them directly from the club, but you should be able to find them elsewhere. hope that helps!

you gotta love a sale. especially a sale that includes handbags by kate spade (nordstrom). both of the bags are big enough to hold knitting, an extra bonus!



now a girl has to have a brown bag too (ok, so i may already own a brown bag, or 3 or 4!)



did you know i used to belong to the kate spade community group on ebay? i just don't have time for it anymore, but i really enjoyed it. now my knitting blog readers are the only ones i have to share my new purchases with :) hope you don't mind. my weakness is definately handbags and yarn!

i have some time set aside for knitting tonight. i am debating over casting on my new fixation yarn for a pair of socks or continuing on my pinwheel baby blanket. i think the socks will win out if i get gauge pretty quickly.

oh and i have been bad about participating in the knit the classics kal. i am reading middlemarch (slowly), but don't have a project to knit along with it. i think it may have been a bit of a stretch for me to join with all the other stuff going on in my life (birthdays and babies and condos oh my!).

speaking of condos, i need to get organized! i will probably start looking in a month very seriously. i did my pre-approval this last weekend so i am pretty much set! just want to get a few more weeks on the new job under my belt.

I love your new bags. Very cute. I'm in the same boat as you with my knit-alongs. (meaning I'm slow too).But I'm hoping to catch up in July. Hopefully you were able to get some knitting time tonight. ;-)

Ooooh! I have a weakness for handbags too! It's probably a good thing I don't have a Nordstrom nearby!

Yay on the condo-hunt!!! As much work as looking for (and especially moving into) a new place is, it is also fun and exciting! So, next knitters after you move at your place, right??? :)

Congrats on the pre-approval! That's a great feeling. I can't wait to see the new place you find that you'll one day call home.

Love those bags. Love Kate Spade. I have a pattern to make one of her classic designs (there's probably a name for it, which you know, but I have no clue) and I've been itching to do one this summer.

Oh Man! We have more in common than just our name. I have a sickness for purses. My store of choice, Off 5th (Sak's Outlet). They know me by name when I enter. Scary.

I love your new bags Amy! The black one is so purrrty! Have you ever shopped at Nordstrom Rack? I LOVE it! When I lived in Michigan, one opened up down the road from me and I spent some serious cash there (and maxed my Nordstrom credit card)! I miss it..but I've saved money since I moved from there!

very nice bags. i used to have a coach bag problem. i've settled down a bit since i haven't been too excited about their latest stuff.

congratulations on future home ownership. it's scary but also very exciting.

I agree about the brown bag and black bag. A girl must have both! It needs to match your shoes and your other accessories right?!
