The SPLURGE Revisited

This summer I wrote about THE SPLURGE and ask each of you what your SPLURGE would be. Mine was http://www.magnums.net/prod/LC1625VF/LClugg A Longchamp Red Travel Bag.

The red bag entered my life - this summer IVOR of IVOR's On Lee -819 Lee St. Charleston, W.Va. was the source of my bag. IVOR 's if you haven't been - is a small boutique, with upscale clothes and accessories.

The neatest thing about IVORS is if you want (need) something - like my LONGCHAMP BAG that isn't available in Charleston. IVOR will find it for you - and usually at discount.

While Holiday Shopping take a break from the Huntington Mall, the Charleston Town Center Mall and shop the downtown areas - there are many shops in Huntington and Charleston just waiting to be discovered.

If your travels take you to CHARLESTON, I recommend IVOR'S. If you don't see what you need - ask - in the back room he has designer bags, hair accessories etc.

When I'm home for the Holidays I plan to take IVOR a BLENKO Vase for his counter. . . color, quality, style....BLENKO and IVOR'S.
