A Summer Home

With summer around the corner.........lets have a look at some summer homes! I promise to share a few with you.....but for now this one makes my list. The house has such a  relaxed and beautiful vibe to it! I can just imagine myself kicking off my shoes, reading a good book and just lazing around:-)

This house is located in the Costa Brava region in Spain. The house belongs to a designer Beatriz Domingo. She is the owner of a clothing and accessories firm. Beatrice has used vintage, restored pieces and some of her own designs to decorate her home.

Do share your thoughts..........about this house with me. Enjoy your trip to Spain today and I look forward to some more house hunting trips with you :-)

This is so pretty, I am ready for lunch!!!

A New Week

Wow!! Its been a eventful Sunday to say the least. I am watching the news as I write this and its definitely a day for the history books here in the States. On the home front, it was a lovely weekend as we had two days of endless sunshine!! I begin this week with "smiles" and I think this beautiful photograph by Stephanie Rausser aptly conveys my feelings :-)

May promises to be an eventful month. There is a big birthday coming up and a dream trip.......I am so excited!

Here is a shot of my family room................ I love the sight of the sun streaming in:-) We drove up to the lake to enjoy the lovely weather. The kids had a lot of fun running around. By the way, it was not all fun this weeked. Hubby and I did manage to clean out two closets. Its been on the back burner for a while and after dropping the stuff off at Goodwill we both felt great! The spring cleaning saga continues..............but we are making inroads.

What are your plans for this week? Whatever they maybe.......I do wish you a great week ahead!

Weekend Wishes

Here's a picture from my archives. Firangipani flowers were strewn everywhere we went in Kauai. I just love them.......and  I could not resist taking numerous pictures.......

The Royal Wedding

Are you excited about the Royal Wedding tomorrow? Its hard not to be.......every major news channel is going to be covering the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. I admit that I too am getting caught up in the euphoria :-) Are you planning to watch it? For us in the Pacific time zone its going to be around 12.00 am when the festivities begin.........it will be a bit of a challenge to see it live!!

However, I can certainly toast to the newly weds on My Dream Canvas :-) Given to me by my parents, these flute glasses are my pride and joy. They belonged to my Great Grandfather who bought them in England for his home in India. According to my mom these glasses were purchased by him nearly a hundred years ago. It was part of a collection of cut glass for a 48 person place setting at his dining table. The glasses were transported from India to my house by plane in our hand baggage. Yes, I do guard them with my life...... and thankfully only one broke but I was still very upset!

The legacy and the memories live on.............and the sparkle in them remains till this day......
