An Irish Blessing

  Happy St. Patricks Day!  This rainy weather couldn't be any more appropriate for a day like to today.  It truly brings back memories from my trip to Ireland.  Here is a little Irish Blessing to brighten your day and my favorite picture from my trip...

The Irish Countryside was just breathtaking!

Vintage Inspired Bottles

  There is something about vintage bottles that I just love!!!  I'm not sure if it's the story behind them or the infitite ways to decorate with them, but they have become my new obsession.

Here are some pics that inspire me...

(Unique way to display vintage photographs)

(Love the different colors of glass)

(These would be great in a bathroom)

(These oversized bottles would create a statement in any room)

(Unique Take on Table Numbers)

(Love how they are used as vases!)

A Taste of Spain...

  If you are looking for an authentic Spanish meal and entertainment Sevilla in Long Beach is the place!  I had the pleasure of joining my cousin for dinner as well as a flamenco show last weekend.  The night started off with tapas and sangria...soo yummy.  The potatoes were my favorite!  Next, was the main course which incuded a mushroom filled empanada, the most tender short rib and a side of delicious potatoes.  As we ate our meal we were entertained by a traditional flamenco show. The dancers had a lot to live up to since I have seen the real thing in Barcelona, Spain.  To my surprise they were actually really talented...definitely worth seeing.  I would highly recommend this restaurant great atmosphere and wonderful food!!
