My Life in a Tiffany Bleu House

I painted Marie's Maison Tiffany Bleu as a reminder that this is the best jewelry box I ever received!

Breakfast in Bed

It is Sunday, and how lucky am I to wake up to this! The most beautifully arranged and sweetest scent of breakfast in bed.







With English Breakfast tea of course, and a perfectly cooked 3-minute egg!
















You must be wondering where all that fresh sweet smell of jasmine coming from? My front porch, where else?





Pink Jasmine exploded all around!












We've been so fortunate with the weather this week, it feels like spring bordering into summer almost. It's just so inspiring to get out, do some styling, and take photos.





Sending you all lots of sweetness and beautiful weather from Sunny Sun Diego!

Happy New Year!

Hello dear friends! Finally returned from a nice vacation and now back to blogging again. Mon cheri et moi went to visit our best friends who live in Salt Lake City, UT. We took our nieces with us on this road trip and stopped by in Las Vegas. It was a nice relaxing and wonderful trip overall, but it's always good to be back in the swing of things.


Here we are at the Bellagio in Las Vegas



This is a display cake at the patisserie inside the Bellagio. The Grinch is made of 100 lbs of fondant, and 100 lbs of chocolate. It took them two months to make this incredible display.




This is our view from our hotel room. We stayed at the Loews Hotel in Lake Las Vegas.



This one is my shot of downtown Park City, Utah. It was not snowing at all.


 
It doesn't get any better than this, acting like little kids with my best friend.



We got to taste a different kind of coffee brewing called "siphon" coffee.



And got to visit this beautiful pastry shop in SLC inside the Grand America hotel.



Their boxes, displays and pastries reminded me of "Laduree".




Celebrated New Year's eve in Las Vegas and got to watch the fireworks.



New Year means new projects. I painted and reupholstered these pair of Louis chairs, covered them with linen and burlap.


Speaking of burlap, for Christmas, I purchased six pairs of Tom's shoes and gave them out as presents. Of course, I bought a pair of "burlap" shoes for moi et mon cheri.



Lastly, New Year also means new listings in my online etsy shop. Come check out this wonderful vintage blue manual typewriter. It's really a great find!


Happy New Year everyone! I have a feeling this year will be amazing!
