ELF ON THE SHELF

Elf on the Shelf is based on a tradition Carol Aebersold began with her family. This clever children's book explains that Santa knows who is naughty or nice because he sends a scout elf to to your home. After you read the book and your children name their elf, the Christmas magic begins! The elf then watches the children by day and reports to Santa each night. When children awake, the elf has returned from the North Pole and can be found hiding in a different location. This allows the Elf on the Shelf to become a delightful game of hide-&-seek. But, there is one rule...if the children touch the elf, his magic is gone. Each box comes with its very own elf, a hardbound book, & a keepsake box for storage.

New Vera Bradley!

NEW VERA BRADLEY PRINTS

Baroque--
A very modern print, but one deeply rooted in a romantic time of Elizabethan tapestries and Rococo fabrics. Baroque's contemporary feel marries traditional motifs with black, citrine, greys and warm white. The whole effect is at once formal and very fresh.

Versailles--

If history is bound to repeat itself, what prettier way than with this

beautiful print that whispers of rich brocade and grandeur? The

modern approach: Rich, intense colors -life ruby and green,

periwinkle and gold - on a pure black ground.

Try it, and see what fashion history you can make!

BUTTERCUP--
These pretty posies pack a fashionable punch. Our winter bloomers bring a light and breezy touch with their warm tones of butter yellow, coral, fresh green and chocolate. The ideal design for the free spirit!

Twirly Bird Navy--
Deep navy, the new must-have color for every wardrobe,

takes flight with this whirling, twirling, whimsical design

in winter white. Why not take these fine-feathered friends

for a twirl?

Birds of a feather... flock to a great cause!

Twirly Birds Pink is our newest Breast Cancer Awareness design. Twittering sweet songs of hope for a cure, these raspberry pink and warm white warblers also sign of support. 10% of Vera Bradley's net proceeds from the sale of products in Twirly Birds Pink (and Loves Me ...) will be donated to the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer and other breast cancer projects and services.

The Ultimate Wine Opener

Cork Pops LegacyAs Seen on the TV Shows "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers and Sisters"
Combining the "fastest, easiest way to open a bottle of wine" of the Cork Pop I with the added convenience of a built-in 4 blade foil cutter and patented cork release feature.
The Legacy is a salute to vision - combining the best of our original Cork Pop features with new technology. It is the ultimate new bar accessory. The redesigned and engineered Legacy is designed to fit all traditional wine bottles as well as the new flanged lip bottles. The new rubberized black finish makes it the perfect addition to any style barware -- easier to grasp and the new streamlined shape makes it more user friendly and ergonomic.
The Legacy utilizes the same low-pressure cartridge to gently remove the cork from the bottle without affecting the taste of the wine or harming the environment. It comes packaged with one cartridge which will open between 60-80 bottles of wine. The Legacy features a custom designed insertion guide and needle guard, as well as a patented cork release feature which removes the extracted cork from the opener with a simple twisting motion. The Legacy is the next generation in wine openers from the company that put the fun into opening a bottle of wine.

When God created Mothers

When God Created Mothers

When the good Lord was creating mothers He was into His sixth day of "overtime" when the angel appeared and said, "You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one."
And the Lord said, "Have you read the specs on this order!"
She has to be completely washable, by not plastic;
Have 190 moveable parts...all replaceable;
Run on black coffee and leftovers;
Have a lap that disappears when she stands up;
A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a disappointed love
affair;
And six pairs of hands;
The angel shook her head slowly and said, "Six pairs of hands...no way."
"Its not the hands that are causing me problems," said the Lord. "It's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have."
"That's on the standard model?" asked the angel.
The Lord nodded. "One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks, 'What are you kids doing in there?' when she already knows. Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn't but what she has to know, and of course the ones here in front that can look at a child when he goofs up and says, 'I understand and I love You' without so much as uttering a word."
"Lord," said the angel, touching His sleeve gently, "Come to bed. Tomorrow..."
"I can't," said the Lord, "I'm so close to creating something so close to myself. Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick...can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger... and can get a nine-year-old to stand under a shower."
The angel circled the model of a mother very slowly. "It's too soft," she sighed.
"But tough!" said the Lord excitedly. "You cannot imagine what this mother can do or endure."
"Can it think?"
"Not only think, but it can reason and compromise," said the Creator.
Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek. "There's a leak," she pronounced. "I told You You were trying to put too much into this model."
"It's not a leak," said the Lord, "it's a tear."
"What's it for?"
"It's for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness and pride."
"You are a genius," said the angel.
The lord looked somber. "I didn't put it there."
