Boo to you!

What started out as a nice walk around Balboa Island with my 

sweet friend Debi Ward-Kennedy  turned nothing short of creepy!

Really, we're here for lunch, that's it! (what is that on the bench watching us?)

Ive got the creeps, something isn't quite right!

So we left!

And then I came back to explore a bit more, in the D.A.R.K.

I shouldn't have, I knew better!

The monsters were out....

I was invited to stay for a drink...I'll pass...

I think it's past my bedtime...

So I high-tailed it outta there and 

hid under the covers!

A Girl's Gotta Shop!

Over the summer I had a wonderful day of shopping and wine tasting with sweet Amber of Black Rooster Cottage

I visited her booth at Granny's Attic and we hit 
Ponte Winery for a fabulous lunch and
 of course wine tasting.

Here's a peek at her treasures and the gorgeous winery.

  Amber mixes her love of old farmhouses with repurposed items and sprinkles in a bit of french influence to create a dreamy and functional look.

 Isn't this just plain pretty!

Gasp! 

One of her many signature chandeliers!  

This is our dear friend Sylvia of Paris Cowgirl's booth.

 I love Sylvia's style, its romantic, sexy feminine and down to earth! 
I really need a horse!

Girls just wanna have fun!

Granny's Attic is located at
 28450 Felix Valley, Temecula CA 92590

What did you do over the summer?

Gotta Brag About Her

If you hav'nt seen Cindy's blog, "My Romantic Home", you've got to hop over and take a look. She is in the February issue of  Romantic Homes magazine featured in "The Romantics" article.Cindy is a lovely lady that pulls off romance, grace and charm like a modern day Grace Kelly of decor. Her style isn't fussy, no it is quite lovely while comfortable. She understands how to put a room  together for real people. No she isn't one of those maintained women that have days filled with tennis lessons, lunches and shopping. She has a full time job and is a single mother. She also shares her home with her dog that graces her pictures occasionally. That being said, she has the experience so many of us look to to learn from and be inspired by. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Cindy as she reviewed my aprons last spring. You can read her review Here.

Congratulations Cindy! It could not have happened to a more deserving Romantic.
