Good Morning

I feel happy and sunshiny...this feeling may change... however I am totally gonna go with it...

Also I wish I had some of these for my coffee this morning but they were baked on Monday so of course there are none now...

A Party I'd Like To Go To

These paintings remind me of some fantastic fairytale I would like to live in...The one above is a print called Tea Party

This is called Piggy BackRace...

Here are Mona and Lucy...
These paintings and prints are available at SautterPictures on Etsy...

Sunday Dinner

Here are some arrangements I made for dinner on Sunday... It was a belated birthday dinner for my friend Hilary...The big arrangement was for her to take home...Let me tell you the jasmine is so fragrant...I have tried to grow the pink one but I always end up forgetting to water it and it goes crispy from the wind out here in Fontana...The wind...Oh my what can I say about the wind...

So ever since I saw a post on Saipua's blog about a bagel and lox sandwich all I have been able to think about is recreating it...If you click on the link her sandwhich is in the second post...

So here is the yummy salad with feta...

Toasted bagels...

Olives and goat cheese balls with herbs de Provence...

And salmon with red onion, capers, and olive oil...

And some flowers of course!

Flower Preview

Here is a little preview of some of the flowers I bought this weekend...Isn't that turquoise vase gorgeous...My husband bought it for me for my birthday along with my fabulous evening at Magnolia

This picture is of my favorite ikebana scissors...The Spanish lavender is from my garden...I ADORE Spanish lavender...My husband planted it around the citrus trees a couple of years ago...I also have the fairy variety which is a pinky mauve lavender...It should be blooming in just a couple of days...The top picture has purple salvia from my garden too...Its soft and furry...I am also currently loving my new camera!

Flower District

So we woke up late yesterday....7:30am...really that's late if you are going to get flowers...really late.

But we went anyway arriving at 9:30am...my favorite places were already packed up and put away...but I bought some flowers anyway...I will show those later.

Here is the view of Wall Street from the rooftop parking.

Here is the view of the city from the roof...it was a very beautiful day and my house smells like jasmine vine now...so it turned out to be a fabulous trip!

Picnic in the Park with Aunt Julie

We were going to go to Luna Park a restaurant but a few things fell through...Its been incredibly beautiful here in California...

So as it turns out...We had a picnic instead...

Sophie wasn't really a fan of our lunch...She put a bunch of sausage and prosciutto in her mouth...chewed and chewed...until I told her she could spit it out in the trash...

This is where we dined....

Here is Sophie...Finally at the playground...

Here is my happy bunch...Julie is on Vacation to Mexico this Saturday...It has been wonderful to see her...She was my roommate a long time ago and she is currently residing out of state.Whenever we see or talk to each other its easy and like no time has passed...I will miss you Beck!
