Lovin’ the Vera Bradley Pajamas! Keepin warm and lookin good.

Well it's winter time and who doesn't love to wear PJ's around the house?  The Vera Bradley pajamas are just perfect for winter and any other time of the year really (I am just giving you an excuse to pick up a pair this winter)  They come as shorts or pants and come in as many of your favorite Vera patterns that you can possibly think of.

They are very comfy and cozy, made of cotton and lightweight too so you won't sweat to death.  Sure they are comfy, but they can be classy too.  You will have to check out the stylish, elegant closure on these pjs.

Depending what kind of PJS you are looking for, there are also Vera Bradley pajamas that have the draw string as well as an elastic waistband.   I particularly like the mod floral pink pjs.  The only problem is, you may have to fight the urge to walk out into public in your pjs or just louge around the house all day in those comfy things.

For traveling you can also pick up a travel bag made for your pjs and this bag will match the pattern of the pjs pants or shorts you have picked out.

Vera Bradley Bible Covers and Book Covers

Have you seen the Vera Bradley Bible covers?  They have been around for some time but not everyone knows about them so I wanted to write a post about them.

Most of them that I have seen are in the Kensington or Cambridge patterns, which happen to be very complimentary to the Bible covers and I think very appropriate as well.

They are made out of the same plush and thick Vera Bradley fabric that we all are used to and provide more than adequate protection for your Bible.  If you already have a Bible cover than you can consider getting a more elegant one.

The company calls them the Good Book Covers and the standard size that they come in are 6¼" x 9¼" x 1¾", so you may need to measure your Bible to see if it will fit.  These are not for family Bibles but the average size Bible should fit in these beautiful covers.

There is a front pocket on the cover and most come with a ribbon page holder.  The carrying handle also makes it easy to carry it to church without dropping it, but it's nice having a cover in any instance to keep your Bible in good condition and to protect it from the elements, especially in the rain.

Vera Bradley Bible Covers are not being made anymore and have been retired for now, but here are some that are still available on ebay below:

Vera Bradley book covers

These book covers from VB are also made available and I believe are still being made today.  So if you are reading a really great book at home and just want a nice fancy cover for it, whether it is to protect it or to keep anyone from knowing what you are reading, you can fancy it up with a Vera Bradley book cover.

And the Winner of the Hope Garden Tote Is…..

Well it was a great contest and I appreciate all of you who participated and referred some friends along the way.

I thought I would show you in a screen shot video who the winner is.  This way you can see how the winner is randomly chosen using the services of Random.org.  I feel bad that there could only be one winner as I know many of you out there love Vera Bradley stuff, especially when it's free!  But don't worry, in the next contest, I believe I will have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize, so more of you can win.

So watch this video to see if you are the winner of this Vera Bradley Hope Garden Tote:

And the winner is...

Ashley!

Congratulations Ashley.  I will be contacting you today to get the shipping information so I can send this wonderful Vera Bradley tote out to you ASAP.

For those of you that didn't win, what can I say... maybe next time.  let me know what you think about a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize winner.  The prize will not be as big as the last one (since I can't afford to keep giving stuff away unless more business comes in), but I think it will be nice to have 3 winners.

And thanks to all of you who referred a ton of people.  A special congrats goes to Susana Cordeiro and Amy Scott.  Susana brought in 11 entries into the contest and Amy brought in 5.  Because of their extra effort, both Susana and Amy will be given an extra entry in the next contest automatically.

In a future contest a prize will be awarded to the person with the most referrals!  Any thoughts on this?

I really want to reward the ones who work hard at promoting these Vera Bradley giveaways, so I think it's a great solution.

So again, thanks for all who entered.   And be sure to check out some great clearance deals on Vera Bradley stuff here at our store.  We have partnered with eBay and can offer the very best prices on Vera Bradley stuff you will find anywhere.

Vera Bradley Wallets: Which One to Choose…

There are so many kinds of Vera Bradley wallets out there these days.  And with every year that goes by Vera comes out with a few more wallet styles giving us yet one more reason to spend money on something that holds our money.  Kind of ironic isn't it?

When deciding on what wallet you will be using you need to consider several factors: Will this by your every day wallet? Do you want to be able to also use this wallet as a convenient purses? And maybe you even need to ask yourself if you have too many credit cards to try to cram into those sweet little wallets.

Well when thinking about some of the new wallet styles that have come out for this year, I wanted to write a post about all of those wallets and ask all of you which wallet style is the best of all time!  I know there are a lot to choose from so I put an Amazon astore page on here so you can check out some of the different kinds of wallets that have been passed down through the ages.. or at least the last few years.

Leave us a comment saying which Vera Bradley wallet you already own, or which one you use the most, or which one you really really want to own.

So which one is it going to be?  The zip around wallet, the mini zip around wallet, the kisslock coin purse, the wristlet, the clutch wallet, the pocket wallet, or the taxi wallet.  Vera Bradley has almost as many wallet designs as they have for purses and handbags.  Check out some of the style below:

If you want you can order any of these wallets too. Just click on the ones you want and purchase them safely through Amazon.

And don't forget to enter the contest to win the Free Hope Garden Tote, if you have not already. And go tell some friends about us too.

What is Your Favorite Retired Vera Bradley Pattern

Aren't those retired Vera Bradley patterns just the best!  I have been meaning to ask this question for a while now.  I want to know what you  think because I am thinking of changing the retired Vera Bradley page  in the store here to show some of the most popular discontinued patterns of all time.

I know there are some of those old patterns that have stood the test of time and are now coveted by all!  Now if you ask me, I think Nantucket Navy was a classic that never should have been discontinued, and here are a few more of my favorites:

1. Mesa Red
2. Capri Blue
3. Pink Elephants
4. Windsor Navy
5. Piccadilly Plum
6. Chelsea Green
7. Bermuda Pink

Oh wow!  I think I could go on and on, but a top list of 7 should be good for now.  Some of these are more of their recent patterns, but I just didn't have much of a taste for those patterns made in in 80's like this one below.

Now maybe you actually like some of those patterns above, but I like the more recent patterns a LOT more.  But that's the great thing about VB patterns and styles.  There is something for every one.  Some love the Hope Garden pattern while others hate it, but I think everyone can find at least one pattern they just love and can call their own.

So what is your opinion?  What is the all time best pattern ever invented by the company from Fort Wayne Indiana?

I will listen to your comments and make some of those patterns available on the retired Vera Bradley page to make those easier to find on ebay.

Oh, and by the way, I hope you are ready for the next Vera Bradley giveaway!  I already have the item I am giving away and I think you will like it.  Stay posted.  I will have more information on the next contest in a post by Monday.
