Table in Paradise


Despite all of the hurricane damage
in our home in Cabo, 
we didn't lose
any glassware or plates.  We were
blessed to have as little damage as
we did.

I spent 3 weeks here in January enjoying
the change in weather and celebrating
my birthday.


When we were cleaning out the garage
after all of the damage, I found two of
these decked out starfish and I just
had to feature them on our table.


I love how someone bejeweled
these little guys.





Today's table is on the lookout that
is off the living room and has 
views on all sides.





You get a great view down to the ocean
from here.  It is such a beautiful spot
and is stunning with the flowers
in bloom.  I love being surrounded
by flowers year round here.


It is so much fun to have traditional
plates and glassware to eat off of
so we have filled the house with
local items.


We always love to shop at
Artesanos.  This is my second 
set of plates from there.



The glaze has raised details that make
them really fun.


This is a faux stone top table
that fits six to eight.  It is a favorite
spot for breakfast.


I gathered accessories from around
the house to make our seaside centerpiece.




Two kinds of cobalt glassware,
also from Artesanos which is located
right outside of town along the 
frontage road are used for today's table.





Artesanos also has lots of pewter
but I brought these pewter napkin
rings and the napkins from home.


I have had these for a few years but
this is the first time I used them.



There is nothing like eating in the fresh
air, especially when you know it is 
freezing at home.  



Fill one of these up with 
fresh squeezed orange juice
and enjoy the sound of the ocean
and the breezes as you forget about 
any cares at home.

I joke and say that when I celebrate
my birthday in a warm climate,
I don't age!!



(Thanks to my friend Aly for some of these
photos.)


I will be sharing this little bit of paradise

Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.
