So Fragrant


I love my plumeria trees.  Their blossoms are not only gorgeous, they also add an amazing fragrance to the yard.  Every time I look at them I daydream about the South Pacific.

Stacks and stacks of gorgeous creme and gold china, so lovely.  Show it off, even if you don't use it everyday.

Berries


Berry season is coming to a close(very sad).  We've had some of the most glorious organic berries from our local farmers as well as Whole Foods market.  If you haven't tried Bob's Red Mill Organic High Fiber Pancake Mix, it really is great, even the kids eat it!  It calls for water but I use milk and add both cinnamon and vanilla extract.  Yummy and healthy!

It's a bright beautiful day at the beach.  Here's some purple inspiration for the day.  Purple and berry colors seem to be all the rage this Fall.
