Hey, it looks like someone from the Big Ten snuck into SEC territory last night and perpetrated a little vandalism … what is this Ohio State picnic table umbrella doing in our courtyard today??? (I have good friends who are OSU alumni, I’d better be careful!)

We have received our fall Vera Bradley bags in The Boutique, and I promised I’d show off the new patterns. Here are some samples of Imperial Toile, Paprika, and Symphony in Hue. We’re having a little contest in The Boutique right now to give away a Vera bag, so you’d better come and shop soon.

Vera Bradley Paprika & Imperial Toile Patterns

Symphony in Hue Pattern

Imperial Toile Pattern
To go along with the new patterns, we have a colorful selection of gift wrap, gift bags, gift tags, notecards, and other stationery items.
Fall is in the air, and we are really looking forward to changing leaves, clear skies, and crisp temperatures. We’re starting our fall promotions on the shopping site in the next day or two; giving away a beautiful silver reindeer or a silver tabletop angel with qualifying purchases. You surely aren’t going to tell me you haven’t yet even thought about your Christmas list! Don’t miss out on the good stuff.
