A landscaping favorite.
Iceberg roses are beautiful when they are just blooming and in cool weather they turn from stark white to blushing pink, that was a delightful surprise! It’s a good thing they don’t need a lot of tending to since I haven’t a green thumb like my mother, who can nurture and grow most everything.
I took these pictures back in February.

This past weekend we decided to stop at Jo Ann fabrics to buy some fabric to use in photo shoots. I was only interested in buying some tulle (love the stuff ) but this ruffly fabric grabbed my attention. Actually, it was pretty much handed to me by a friend since I was busy daydreaming about tulle and not noticing much else. =/
The inspiration,

I love these little strawberry stands they have everywhere now, utterly tempting and so we stopped to get some!
We drove past a rundown stand as well and visually I like the worn-out and rustic look of this one more so naturally I ran for the camera…it’s always a carry-on, oy me!

The bf lost his cell phone during this outing, it was an expensive phone too -why that is and why he’d want one is beyond me but I guess that’s what guys like to splurge on, electronics. We furnish our closets and they furnish the entertainment room? Sounds fair enough I suppose.
Anyways, of all the people in the world, why couldn’t someone with a conscious have found it? Oh well, someone has a nice phone…with me in their fave five.
A few more pictures from this post.
The pretty side of Dos Lagos.

After being stored away for sometime now, my costume design finally got to see the light of day once more!
I have to say, the design was mine but most of the sewing was left to someone with skillful hands. You can definitely tell where I put forth my sewing efforts though, BIG difference. When it comes to sewing, I’m like a kitten with a ball of yarn, expect a tangled mess to ensue. =/
So last year my sister May held her first charity event and fashion show, you can view my entry about that Here.
It was super exciting for me personally because I helped to coordinate the fashion show and my beautiful sister Lori wore my design in it. I love my crazy family, somehow we always manage to not kill each other…..but just barely, lol, you with siblings know what I’m talking about!

“Whatta Face!”
(Giving me a cute smirk while crawling by)
I can’t wait to see him wobbling around on his own two feet soon.
Last weekend I was told his first teeth were coming in, how exciting! On the other hand, maybe not. Some children are little animals, they love to bite! If only they weren’t so cute I would have learned my lesson by now but time and time again they lure me in with their adorably innocent faces and tiny outstretched hands…Oh they’re good, the little monsters!

I can’t believe my boyfriend and I spent over half an hour staring (and snapping away with the camera) in fixed fascination at a little hummingbird who remarkably enough, sat nonchalantly atop it’s perch the entire time, the little attention-whore!
Drawn to the red blossoms of the tree, most of them were busily feasting. They were so cute, as was the bf who couldn’t keep his eyes off his model bird.
We were secret admirers of this placid hummingbird.
“You’re beautiful, it’s true”
Aaaah the simple joys in life, it’s great to have someone to share them with. =)

A few pictures from the Desert Garden at the Huntington. There were so many varieties of cacti and succulent plants, I found myself admiring their unconventional beauty and unique qualities.
Take for instance, this delightful cactus…

After seeing what The Huntington had to offer, I enthusiastically declare my love of the place! I thoroughly enjoyed what each garden had to offer in lush vegetation and marvelous (Japanese and Chinese) architecture. It’s an ideal place to experience natural & cultural beauty and variety.
Three hours in and we still had to rush to get to the art gallery before closing time.
“Luxurious feast awaits”
I can’t say enough about the beautiful art collection they have at the Huntington, timeless and extraordinary works of art. Also, it’s always interesting reading the story or history behind a painting if there is one.

We took a trip to the San Juan Capistrano Mission this past weekend and I was impressed and astonished by it’s history and architecture. It’s a lovely place to visit if you have time…and a camera (being that it’s surrounded by beautiful gardens and historic ruins and all that good stuff). To read about it’s history go to sjchistoricalsociety.com
The Serra Chapel.
Construction of Mission San Juan Capistano, “Jewel of the Missions”, began in November 1776. Father Junipero Serra named it for St. John of Capestrano in Italy, a warrior priest of the 15th century. This is the seventh in the chain of missions founded by Father Serra.
