Tennis Ball Limoges Box and Evening Bag

I found this tennis ball Limoge trinket box on Etsy.  The shop is "Temple of Vintage." The cost is $24 plus shipping. This would be a nice item to keep on your dresser with a special piece of jewelry inside.

Isn't this a lovely Swarovski crystal evening bag? It is on the www.Kaboodle.com website. It was originally $995 but on the Madisonavemall.com it is on sale for $599. This evening bag also has an optional gold chain strap. This crystal tennis ball evening bag would really add whimsy to your LBD and would also be a great conversation item.

Funky Tennis Wall and Haircut

These gigantic racquets are from the High Camp Home website. The oversize tennis racquets are an exact replica of antique wooden racquets. They are made of elm, leather and snares of rope. The dimensions are 54" high x18.5" wide and 3" deep. The cost is $986.70 each. But what a statement they make in this hallway!

Okay - this guy must be a real tennis fan! I wonder what his hair looks like when his face isn't painted yellow? This haircut can be found on menshairstyles.net.

Designer and I Mean Designer Tennis Gear!

I adore this Chanel tennis racquet! It also comes in black. But I am loving the white! I could use this racquet when I play my fantasy match at Wimbledon. Okay - just google Chanel tennis racquet and the website says tennis racquets will soon be available at Chanel boutiques worldwide. I think I will pop in a Chanel boutique this week.

I found the above outfit on Life in a Venti Cup. Lacoste is introducing a collection with Catherine Molandrino.  I  love the gray and white - so classy. I also love the white sunglasses and headband. Although my headband would probably only look cute for a game or two - my hair gets really messy when I play tennis. Sometimes I use the the ladies room between sets and then I look in the mirror and I think WHAT happened to my hair?

Baseball Quote that Applies to Tennis

In honor of the first game of the World Series tonight I have a baseball quote that applies to tennis!

It's hard to beat a person who never gives up. - Babe Ruth

Tennis Animals!

Isn't this the funniest picture?  It is on the blog "Stick a Monkey in it." The blogger actually wrote three paragraphs on the above photo. And quoted William Shakespeare and his love of monkeys. Who knew?

This photo is also a riot! It is actually a birthday card that you can purchase  for $2.75 from the website dogstuff.com. Inside the card it says "The older you get the more you like to do things just because you can. Happy Birthday! This card would be cute to give to your coach or partner!

Tennis Book, DVD and Bookends

Andre Agassi's book was a great read! He is one of the most beloved tennis players of all time. This autobiography talks about his lonely times, the intense childhood training program and when he turned pro at sixteen how he decided to rebel by dying his hair, piercing his ear and dressing like a rocker. He talks about his struggles on the court despite his raw talent. We learn about his marriage and divorce from Brooke Shields. He talks about his soul mate and love of his life Steffi Graf. This book will captivate readers even if they know nothing about tennis.

This DVD helps your tennis game by creating increased flexibility. It can help you move better. Recreational tennis players often forget to stretch. And stretching can help decrease injuries.

The Andre Agassi Book and Tennis DVD are both available on Amazon.

And here are the cutest tennis bookends. They look like they are made of gold but they are actually brass  and available on Etsy.
