while the fashion of kate spade is a little too east coast prepster for my casual wear liking, their quotes are to die for.
and this morning i happened to find a little one of kate spade's jewelry wonders under my door. courtesy of sis, who does happen to adore all things feminine and frills. and little gifts of encouragement.

and inside, right next to the to the delicate piece, on a little white card, read:
off we go! she announced, jumping into the fountain feet first, her opal eyes shining in the rain.

words of encouragement.

or as jesus might say:
i have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. in this world you will have trouble. but take heart! i have overcome the world.
