Coffee Conversations

Happy Friday and Cinco de Mayo! Now that is a dynamic duo right there. I’m looking forward to enjoy some margaritas and Mexican food later! 
This week went by pretty quickly for me and has been quite busy with work, so I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of that 5:00pm mark when I can shut it all down for a couple days. Speaking of shutting things down, I announced my Summer Break plans for Elisabeth Ashlie this week – did you see? It’s going to be pretty strange to take such a long, pre-planned break, but I truly can’t imagine the alternative. I’m thankful to be in a position where I can take time off of work for everything that is going to be going on this summer! 
I’ve rediscovered my love for tee shirts, guys. I’ve always been a jeans and a tee shirt girl, but was having the hardest time finding good tees in recent months. These just arrived on my doorstep this week and I love them! I ordered three colors, but will likely only keep the black and grey. The taupe color basically matched my skin, so it wasn’t good for me. BUT the others are classics that will get a ton of use in the coming months. 
Elisabeth Ashlie made it on the Crate and Barrel Blog! We did a private registry event last month at their Oakbrook location and you can see us included in the recap post here
My mom, sister, and I are headed to South Carolina at the end of next week for a little girl’s trip before all the wedding festivities really get rolling. I’m so looking forward to a little getaway and some warm weather! 

This is the cutest keychain I’ve ever seen.

I feel like I need this for our Europe trip!

Okay, gotta go dream about tacos for the rest of the day. Have a great weekend!

    What's the see-through factor on the t-shirts? I feel like I'm on a quest to find the perfect, non-see-through white tee.

    THE BEST PLACE TO SOLVE YOUR FINANCIAL PROBLEMS ( upstartloan@yahoo.com )

    Hello everyone in this forum, I am Jane Robin from palm Harbor Florida 34682. USA and want to use this medium to express gratitude to UP START LOAN for fulfilling their promise by granting me a loan, i was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organisations but never with success, and most banks declined my credit request. But as God would have it, i was introduced by a friend named Mary Williams to UP START LOAN whom also confirmed to me that she also obtained a loan from them. In an attempt to resolve my current situation, i got in contact with the company via email and undergone the due process of obtaining a loan from the company, to my greatest surprise within 48hrs just like my friend Mary, i was also granted a loan of $80,000.00; So my advise to everyone who or know someone who desires a loan, if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan online with low interest rate of 2% and better repayment plans/schedule, please contact UP START LOAN. Besides, he doesn’t know that am doing this but due to the joy in me, i'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company whom truly give out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces. You can contact them via email on ( upstartloan@yahoo.com ) or Text/Call +1(574) 301-1639
