Etiquette

Dear Readers:

I would like to inspire a movement reviving etiquette and manners.  There are many books on the subject, but here are my ideas.

When someone invites you to a party, RSVP.

When someone calls you, call them back.

When someone emails you, email them back.

When someone writes you, write them back.

That is all.

This applies to business and personal relationships.  (Even the friend of a friend who is selling her new multi-level marketing product you are SO not interested in.  Call her back.)

Thank you,

The Proprietress

P.S. We will all forget our manners occasionally.  This isn't about perfection; it is about action.

P.P.S  If you need more ideas, there are some authorities on the subject.  Check them out.

The goddess of manners, Emily Post

Her timeless book.

Kate Spade knows manners.

And even one for your little.

Are You Pinning on Pinterest?

So... Are you pinning on Pinterest yet? All of the cool kids are doing it. It is basically like ripping pages out of magazines to save all of your favorite ideas. But instead of magazines, you can "rip the pages" from all of your favorite websites online. So cool! It is a great places to find creative ideas of all shapes and sizes. Here are some of the things you will find on Pinterest:

Delicious things to cook and eat. (Those are fruit popsicles with champagne. A perfect summer fete dessert.)


Fabulous decorating ideas for your home or office. (Don't you think Bon Lemon needs that powder room?)


Images that make you smile.


Animals that make you smile.


Hairstyle ideas. (My new do.)


DIY crafts and decor. (CUTE ALERT!)


Green sequin pencil skirts. Enough said. (J.Crew 2012)


Recipes for delicious things like Sugared Cranberry Bri Bites.


Lemony frocks to channel your inner lemon lover.


Fun nail art. (We are OBSESSED with nautical.)


Dream home ideas. Love!


Lots of fabulous quotes to live by and make you giggle.


And, of course, a little bit of Bon Lemon. (Our to-die-for Heartbreaker Necklace. It's available in 5 fab colors.)

Once people start pinning, they can't stop. And it is a great way to get a sense of your friend's styles and interests. You can find these pins and many more on Bon Lemon's Pinterest Boards. Hope to see you pinning on Pinterest sometime soon!
