Ideas for Your Valentine

Need something for your valentine who has everything? I love this idea from the beautiful new Winston Flowers on Greenwich Avenue. Treat them to "Design of the Month Club" where they will receive a beautiful arrangement of seasonal flowers for three, six or twelve months. Options include $90 or $120 per month (plus tax). What's better than amazing fresh flowers once a month vs some traditional long stem red roses on valentines day. I'd take these beauties any day - no red roses for this girl!


Just looking for a one time arrangement instead? Stop by to visit them at 
382 Greenwich Ave 
Greenwich CT 
203.622.4222
Mon thru Sat 9-6

Harding Lane

Loving these new needlepoint hats from Harding Lane - perfect for spring ski season! We're headed out to Colorado at the beginning of March and I think I might just have to pick up one of these to cover my terrible helmet hair après ski! 

Check out their full offering of needlepoint hats at http://harding-lane.com/shop/. There are plenty of options to carry you into the warm days of summer!

Super Bowl Sunday

We're headed up to Stratton to hit the slopes for the long weekend but now that our favorite NE Patriots aren't in the game we can just focus on the food and the commercials - this girl can't complain! 

I've been loving Pinterest to find healthy recipes for the new year, however I couldn't pass up sharing these amazing (and not healthy!) Super Bowl recipes! Now the hard part is deciding which ones to make for the big game.










My favorite but this is just too much work for me : )

Welcome to 2013

We're back! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. Sorry for the hiatus, sometimes you just feel like you have nothing interesting to say and then when you do you're too lazy to start writing again :) But now that the holidays are behind us we're going to try to get back at it again. Hopefully there are still readers out there interested in hearing from FFC411, if so leave us a comment or like us on Facebook! 

Here is what we've been up too in the last month or so!

My fellow Colgate alumnus will be most excited to hear we now have our very own Dinosaur Bar-B-Que here in CT! The distinguished caterer of my college graduation party, Dinosaur BBQ holds a special place in your heart if you've ever done a stint in upstate New York. Perfect for a big crowd of holiday visitors, be sure to make a reservation! Also any grill master would be happy to find a stocking full of their delicious BBQ sauce or a gift card for Dino Dinero!
