Rosy Posies is an eye-catching combination of petite paisleys and oversized florals.  It appears as if it sprang full blown from a greenhouse full of geraniums.  Layers of colors from burgundy to berry, coral to cream and lemon drop set a positive tone to this fabric.  Rosy Posies is complex and dimensional-delightful paired with khaki or navy.

Camellia evokes the romance of a 19th century garden.  Warm shades of graphite gray, dusty taupe and soft white harmonize with the large energetic camellia blossoms.  Camellia is elegant and shares the ambiance of graceful movement.  Think gospel music; Camellia is a refined nod to a soulful journey.

Island Blooms will take you to paradise with its oversized white blossoms.  Very stylized and tribal inspired, it is reminiscent of Gauguin’s Tahitian paintings with its aquatic hues and tropical chartreuse foliage.  The interior pattern is contemporary, an artistic compliment to the outside fabric.

The Spring Collection is bursting with useful, technology related accessories such as the Tune In, Phone Case, Stay Tuned, and Phone Wristlet.  New this season is the Laptop Travel Tote which is checkpoint friendly, the Essentials Cosmetic, Wristlet, Brush & Pencil, Strap Wallet, and a great new purse, Laura, and a redesigned Bowler. 

Through your contribution of a gently used Vera Bradley handbag or accessory, a woman can carry a Vera Bradley purse on her first day at a new job.  It’s a great way to organize your closet AND assist a woman in Fairbanks to put her best foot forward!  We’re collecting through the end of May, so get your donation together and bring it in!

I’m tickled for other reasons as well. New merchandise is arriving every day at the store.  Right now, there is a burst of springtime color on the center table so bright I almost need my shades!  You’d better slide on in and see for yourself.  And don’t forget the Fabulous February Pen Sale continues; there are still some beauties available.

We carry a selection of Vera Bradley luggage from the 17″ Roll Along Tote which is great for office use and short business  trips tothe 22″ expandable upright, the 22″ and 27″ spinners, and the 28″ expandable upright.  Check out the luggage in Boysenberry, Mocha Rouge or Black.  It’s full of fine features and built with practicality and function in mind.  And remember, we can special order any piece if we don’t have it in stock.
