Happy Mother's Day!

I would like to wish all my followers a Happy Mother's Day!  While I will not be able to spend today with my Mama, I'm excited that in a couple of weeks I'll be traveling to Georgia to visit her and will be spending the Summer with her...just not sure if I'll stay with her up in Georgia or bring her back with me down to Florida.  Anyway, I feel blessed that I'm able to spend precious time with her.  At almost 90 years of age, Mama has always lived her life for God, her family, and her friends.  Now it's time for me to watch over her.

My Mama...Miss Pauline

Today, I went to church.  Of course, the message is always about Mothers on Mother's Day, which it should be!  On this day, my heart goes out to those of you, who like myself, are not Mothers and I pray for those who want children of their own but are unable.

"HERE'S WHAT I WORE"  The shift is 'Cabana Banana' by Lilly and the cardi is also by Lilly.

Love the pattern with the cabanas and palm trees...

Pink Revas by Tory Burch

The accessories:  Pearl necklace, bracelet, and studs, 'Eternity' wedding band by Cartier, pink grosgrain pony bow, and a white iPhone cover with pink monogram.  

The basket purse is by Queen Bea Studio.

I would like to congratulate Paula at Virginia Sweet Pea blog...she is the winner of my giveaway of a new Lilly Pulitzer iPhone cover sponsored by Lifeguard Press!  Now y'all practice proper blog giveaway etiquette and be polite...congratulate Miss Paula.

Update on Mama and Giveaway Winner.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for my Mama. Although she wouldn't want me "broadcasting" the details of her recent illness, I'm sure she won't mind if I just say that she had a crazy reaction to a new medication that was prescribed to her for dizziness, an inner ear issue which she has dealt with for many years. Bless her heart, she was non-stop delusional for about 72 hours--no sleep at all...just talking out of her mind about true stuff and to people who were not in the room. {She was also talking about spiders and roaches crawling up the wall & cute little kitty cats on her bed beside her--so scary y'all!} Of course, we were terribly afraid that she was going to be diagnosed with dementia or some other serious brain issue. They gave her all the necessary medical tests and she cleared them all. The Doctors and Nurses said it was just a reaction to a medicine that was way too strong for her! We feel so blessed that she is on the road to being back to her usual self now.

Mama lives with my brother J.D. who takes special care of her, but as those of you who care for your elderly parents know, he needs to have some time for himself. We decided it was best to hire a lady to come in and watch over Mama. So, I feel really good about her now. She came home from the hospital this morning and is feeling very good.

I know that Mama's happy to be back in her home and be able to watch Fox News, some Lifetime Movies, and just sit on the porch and admire her gardens.

Soooooo, I'm happy to announce the winner of my 2PreppyGirls giveaway. It's Pastor Ali from Southern and Lovely. Lord have mercy, when I drew this entry, I was shocked that a "Pastor" was even following my blog! Pastor Ali is co-Pastor with her husband Drew at the Lebannon United Methodist Church in Mebane, North Carolina. I love that in her blog profile she says "I'll be writing about fashion for young clergywomen." Congratulations to you Pastor Ali! Please contact me at: Miss Janice {at} Miss Janice {dot} com and provide me with your contact information so that I can provide it to Margaret at 2PreppyGirls.

Over the Weekend

It was another beautiful weekend here in South Florida...full of yucky, nasty LOVEBUGS! Here's a notice to all y'all--DON'T COME TO SOUTH FLORIDA DURING MAY!!! These things are disgusting! They have a cute name and that's where it ends:) They make such a mess!


Sunday morning I visited a new church. I LOVE the church I attend, but I really do need to find something closer to the house. Well, this one was NOT what I'm looking for...just NOT the right fit. Ugh!

"HERE'S WHAT I WORE" {i also wore it to lunch last week and just now remembered that...oops!} The shift is 'Creme Fraiche' by Lilly and the cardigan is also by Lilly.

It's the classic shift style with the bows at the bottom--the type that I love...

Love the strawberry print...
I carried my Nantucket Lightship Basket pocketbook and wore my pink Revas, along with a pearl choker necklace, the matching pearl earrings, and my rollring wedding band by Cartier. My ponytail was adorned with a pink grosgrain ribbon and my fragrance of choice for the day was 'Wink' by Lilly.

After lunch at Panera Bread, I came home and enjoyed a long afternoon nap! Next week I'm trying one more church; it's one that I've visited before...maybe this time I might like it more:) I'm still settling in after my trip to Georgia last week. I'll post some photos later this week of my BFF Teresa Jane's kitchen redo...it's too cute.

Oh, Blogger was down for a couple of days last week, so I extended the deadline to enter my giveaway until last night. DRUMROLL PLEASE....The winner of the giveway to celebrate National Etiquette Week is Lori Stewart. Lori has a blog His Way or Her Way--Lori and her brother Pete try to outdo each other's cooking with their dish challenges. Y'all check it out.

GIVEAWAY WINNER!!!

Congratulations to {Carolina} Girl, Sweet Southern Pearl! You are the winner of my "Very Proper Giveaway," the book by Letitia Baldrige..."New Manners for New Times."

Carolina Girl is a new blogger. She's a student getting ready to attend college and said "she would take this book with her to school as her own personal go-to etiquette book."

After visiting her blog, I realized she and I have a lot in common...We are both from the Deep South, we both spent several years in the Cotillion, and we both have mamas who taught us etiquette at a very early age!

On May 21st, she is being inducted into the National Honor Society (just like I was at her age) and just look at the classy outfit she will be wearing...

To top it off, she's a Jimmy Buffett fan--just like Miss Janice! Here's her and her mama at a JB concert recently...

Congratulations to you Carolina Girl. I hope that this book will be a useful reference for you to turn to regarding social graces--for the rest of your life! Thank you also to all my readers who entered this giveaway!

Congratulations to My Giveaway Winner!!!!
