“A Colorful Way of Living by Barbara Bradley Baekgaard” (Hardcover Book)

From the cofounder of the Vera Bradley empire comes a practical and inspiring book that shows women how to awaken their full potential at any age. “This place could use some color," Barbara Bradley Baekgaard said to her friend Patricia Miller during an airport layover. It was 1982 and all the women could see was a succession of drab, bulky suitcases. When they returned home, Barbara and her business partner got out a few Simplicity patterns and a sewing machine and set to work. And the Vera Bradley Company was born. A Colorful Way of Living offers practical, inspiring advice to empower women of all ages to navigate life by the values that provide the foundation of the Vera Bradley empire. Women looking for the encouragement to start a new chapter, women balancing career and family, and new graduates entering the workforce will all benefit from this wisdom as it applies to career, life, and relationships.
