almost summer - fantasizing

I really think that my house has hacienda potential. 

It is a Spanish style house? Anyway, after dreaming 

about the amazing haciendas and castles available for 

rent in Careyes and Cuixmala, Mexico for the last year, 

I am chasing the idea of  adding more hacienda to my life. 

And, the amazing Casamidy will inspire me. All amazing 

pieces above are from Casamidy and they, too, have 

amazing rentals on their site. A girl can dream. 

Click on the above links.. any!.. for a quick 

trip into dreamyland. It's Friday!

lazy day

Ava's two dads.

The beginning of a schmoopy masterpiece... 

to be continued. 

eek!

Seriously.. I love a good jackelope. But, this is ridiculous. 

The felt baby blue Jackelope doll from girlsavage

can only be upstaged by the various 'feltidermy'

also for sale in her shop...

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!

Oooh..Nothing makes me happier than these Papel Picado Banners

 from the Flores Sisters on Etsy. And for the sake of all things 

wonderfully cheesy, they can custom make them with your name!

A la ocasion la pintan calva : strike while the iron is hot!

Clearly, I am not a spanish speaker. But, have a good one. 

Off to drink some tequila... I'll be back!?

sidetracked..

So I was fishing around for some cute vintage this 

morning..1918 Vintage is a cute little vintage site and blog..

and I came across this picture. If you are my husband, you know

where this is going. 

Time to introduce you to my number one foreign obsession:

GLOBUS. I am so completely infatuated with this 

department store, that I make it my daily walking destination 

whenever I am in Geneva. Art Exhibit? Historical Landmark? I 

can see them on the way to GLOBUS. Why don't we just eat 

lunch/dinner at GLOBUS? Let's just get drinks at GLOBUS. 

I need a dress to wear/groceries for dinner/presents to bring home?

I can buy them at GLOBUS. 

But, seriously, GLOBUS is a veritable 

smorgasbord(orgasbord, orgasbord)

 of all things fantastic - with a department store on top, 

a wine counter and eatery below, and a specialty foods

grocery in the basement. To share with you some

beautiful recipes that embody the essence of the GLOBUS..

(I realize these are in french. But you are resourceful, 

you can figure it out?)

Look at this amazing twist on a classic..Caprese salad. 

and this melty Chocolate Souflee with strawberries. 

Till next time, I will work on those translations. If after you make 

these scrumptious recipes, you are so compelled to carry a GLOBUS 

handbag, I will completely understand. You can purchase one

at the cute 1918 Vintage. Why don't I have a GLOBUS handbag?

we are hiding from the rain and keeping our germies to ourselves!

happy weekend.
