~~~THE ROMANCE OF CABO~~~

We have been very lucky the past four years. My hubbie's company has given us the gift of a villa in Cabo for a week. This year we had some surprises that I thought I would share with you.

One day after the housekeepers left, we discovered this on our bed. The heart was made using white towels that had been rolled and shaped into the heart.

The large flowers at the base and on the top are hibiscus flowers. The other flowers look like some type of vinca to me but I am not sure.

I think maybe I should do this for any company that comes to stay. What do you think?

These swans were in our bath. Again, rolled up white towels and flowers. Just too lovely for words......

Love that they are kissing.

If you don't care for hearts, swans and flowers, how about a large bow on your bed with swans? Not bad huh?

I think this is a beautiful way to welcome guests into your home. Of course, I will have to practice a lot to get this done.

Maybe I can start by mastering the bow.....looks easy enough. The center is a large white towel.

If that doesn't suit you, how about a butterfly made using the sheers on the window. I was not only grateful that someone took the time to create this, but humbled that someone would do this for us.

Not too sure how this was done, but I like it.

I may need help, I think I am a Caboholic!!

Ah, life on the beach with family. Nothing is better than this, well, almost nothing. HA!

Don't like the beach? We had our own heated, private pool......

Hot tub anyone?

Beach sunsets anyone.....

If you have ever wanted to visit Cabo San Lucas, go, go and have fun, relax and enjoy yourself. It's so worth it.

I am linking up to Pink Saturday with Beverly of How Sweet The Sound. Please go on over and see what all the pinkies have been up too. HAPPY PINK SATURDAY

Changing Her Up

It's that time of year when it's still winter, but there is enough warm days to make you want to begin cleaning and moving your nest around. That is what I have begun to do with my kitchen.....move things around, kind of like starting over.

By my stove top I have a piece of pottery that my daughter made me while she was in grade school. I use it to hold those much needed cooking utensils. A pot from a trip to the VA hills holds my wooden spoons and Polish pottery keeps my everyday items close by. All this needs to be cleaned a couple times a year, at least.

A favorite platter and canisters get moved to a new area of the counter, just for a change.

Love this cookbook!

Cookbooks are a weakness of mine. I just can't seem to get enough. Do you also have that problem?

I just added this two cutie pies to my kitchen today. They fit in perfectly.

Just too cute.

This rooster was a gift from my son many years ago. I love his coloring and he has become my kitchen mascot.

Although I am not showing you the top of this sweetie pie, it's a candle with a ceramic top. This gives me a little color in an otherwise non exciting corner.

Hanging on the side of my pantry, between my refrigerator, I have a collection of mini baskets. I have never used them, but think they add texture and are just so pretty to look at. I am a weaver and have been weaving baskets for many years, I never tire of seeing them.  The colorful basket you see at the bottom was given to me during a basket swap. That was so fun!

My swap partner used dyed reed to weave this basket and the colors could not have been nicer.
Did you know that if you have a basket made from willow, it will grow pussy willows? Yep, it's true, especially if you live where it's humid. If you look closely at the little willow mini basket in this picture,  you can see a little pussy willow on the left hand side.

There is a rumor going around the blogs that I have a chef! I do, but he doesn't cook!! :)

He doesn't eat either and just look at that face.....he is so cute!!
I hope you have enjoyed a little tour of what I have been up to so far this week, more to come.
