Carmel River Beach Love (The End)

Now that I'm back in 98 degree Austin humidity, I'm longing to be back on the cool Carmel coast.
Missing this little Carmel Valley Coffee shop. Here comes hubby with our lattes.

Quaint Carmel Shops (Part 2)


Life is better at the beach. I agree!

Through their gates was the garden area.
Oh, how I loved the French inspired shop, Mimosa:



And my favorite window shopping of all, this paper shop, Spencer's Stationery and Gifts. Rows and rows of colorful wrapping paper!

Wordless Wednesday (Carmel)

In the lobby of our Carmel hotel, the Hyatt Highlands Inn.

Quiet and Charming Carmel (Part 1)

We just returned from an incredible getaway to Carmel and Pebble Beach. Each morning while waiting for my coffee at the nearby Carmel Valley coffee shop, I peeked inside this darling little flower shop.
Flowers by the stem for sale and beautiful yellow orchids plants. I wanted to take them all home!
Look at the way they wrapped this hand tied flower bouquet in burlap. Oh, and isn't the chocolate brown settee in limed wood finish so chic and current?
An orchid plant in a tomato can. What a nice summertime touch. Simple and sweet.
Too bad it wasn't open!
Morning 5. Still too early for opening. Completely new fresh flowers by the stem and rearranged tablescape. Rose Hip knows how to make window shoppers drool!

Lusting for Yellow

My sister has always admired yellow walls. These gorgeous spaces make me long for a yellow room of my own.

New from Wisteria

Nothing excites me more than new arrivals from my favorite catalogs. On my wish list:
I'm not sure which room this boat would go in, but I adore it! I love the wood finish. This is something I would buy and ask my mom to sew new fabric sails. Perhaps a Belgian linen or in the newest fabric from Schumacher, courtesy of my sister who keeps me in the know of their latest and greatest offerings. (Thanks Gina!) I might have to order this little boat and do just that!

What a great piece at a reasonable price. I'm always pleased with the quality of casegoods from Wisteria. I think this would be so sweet in baby's nursery. This is $1699.

Wouldn't this be fun in the utility room? $129

I love this screen so much that I would probably carry it around room to room for the first month. I LOVE the wood finish. $649
There are so many things on my wish list from Wisteria. Since they are known for their amazing sales, I'm eagerly anticipating the next big one!
