if crayola made bags....

i collected crayons as a kid......had one set that i actually used, the others remained pristine in their boxes fresh from the factory.....i would not share my crayons (ask freddy) and i was insistent on keeping them in their original placement inside the box.....(side note, i did not ever eat my crayons, or paste, for that matter).....this might explain my obsession with having a bag in multiple colors such as our buttery lambskin hazel....i just made the 3 in this photo for my personal use, but you can order one (or 4) for yourself in any color you can imagine.....and at $135 a pop, how can you go wrong?  Email amy@freddyandma.com OR call me at 917-514-5155 to place your order now.
luv,
ma

i stand corrected...

...the critics have lost their minds....sex & the city was utter perfection....i've been skeptical ever since i heard about this project, thought it was a mistake, thought it would be terrible....the movie could not have been any better, funnier, tragic, real, extravagant.......SJP was just, no words......i could not believe how much i enjoyed it, how much i laughed, how much i cried and how much i related to the story. 2 thumbs up, 4 stars, whatever, critics to you i say what - ever

off the rack wedding glamour at nordstrom!?

wedding dress shopping has gotten (in my humble opinion) increasingly out of hand in recent years with dresses costing upwards of 5K ......everything below is kind of not so cute and a little on the cheesy side (generally speaking).....but look at these fantastic options from nordstrom, all available for $500 or less! at these prices you can have a few costume changes ; )

finally time for spring prints!

start thinking spring again! by the time you get your new f&m products you'll be dying to ditch all the black and start flaunting your fresh spring colors (even if the thermometer says otherwise).....keep checking www.freddyandma.com for new prints

Bubble 2.0

I wouldn't normally post a random YouTube video, but this particular video said to.

if I was a little bit more ambitious

I would buy all of the "Built by Wendy"for Simplicity and start sewing up a storm.  I think that it's extremely cool for designers to allow you to make your own versions of their designs.....wow, that sounds a lot like what we do here!......Her stuff is great and she wrote a book about making your own wardrobe AND sells a starter kit complete with 6 patterns!  Mom, you can add this to my Xmas wish list, I'm going to have to break out the sewing machine.

you know you're an "it" bag when......

there's about 100 people selling you on ebay times 10 of your original price.......so you probably heard about this bag a few months ago when it debuted and promptly sold out......the bag cost $15 and one of my interns was lucky enough to score one.......it's very cute and very well made and quite clever.......i actually stared at ebay for 10 minutes today debating whether or not i should spend $150 to buy one.......i really have no idea why and came to my senses and decide to write about it instead........okay, i'm actually sitting here trying to rationalize the purchase but I'm not getting it i swear.........

we heart brooklyn

so the word is that the "floating pool" docked in Brooklyn, is opening tomorrow for 175 lucky peeps for FREE.  yes, that's right, there is a POOL floating in the East River, or the water that creates Brooklyn's waterfront, which may not be the East River at that point, but who cares, it's a POOL on a barge.  only new yorkers understand how challenging it can be to find a pool to lounge at in the city.  they are few and far between and usually involve some sort of half-brained scheme to gain entry......so we're sending one of our F&M staffers down to check it out as we will be in PA for the day.......we'll get back to you, HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY.

our love/hate relationship with photoshop

I did not discover this one, came across it while reading another favorite blog but just in case you haven't seen this, it might brighten your day or make your angry, not sure which.....
