It's Summertime! Celebrate with Flowers






Wishing everyone a happy, bright, sunshiny week from the Wildflower Capital of Colorado, Crested Butte.
 It's Summertime! Let's celebrate with Flowers.

This delightfully small ski town which is covered in a blanket of white for many months of the year is experiencing an explosion of color in shades of pink, purple, orange and yellow this summer.  Last week was the Wildflower Festival and the flowers were peaking on the mountainsides and trails, but everywhere you look there are gardens, flower boxes and hanging baskets bursting with gorgeous colorful flowers.

Everyone gets into the spirit of summertime here and plants to their hearts content or purchases the most beautiful flowers available to display in their yards and porches. Shops, galleries, offices and restaurants display hugh hanging baskets which must be watered each day in their entrances and the town provides planters and flower boxes which line the main street, Elk Avenue in vibrant summer blossoms.

Although the growing season is short here, usually about 90 days this flower frenzy is a feast for the eyes and fills your heart and soul with gratitude for such beauty. 

Enjoy the flowers and the inspired by nature ~ Botanical Style flower bracelets which can be found on my website or if sold, by special request. Keep checking back for more flower inspired jewelry this summer.
Remember to stay on touch on facebook and twitter too!
Happy Summer!

Tampa, FL

Bayshore view towards Downtown Tampa

We recently enjoyed visiting Tampa, FL for the week.  Although it rained varying degrees from light sprinkles to raging downpours with thunder and lightening there was also tornado warnings, heavy wind, flooded streets and power outages.

We still managed to go out and enjoy a few restaurants at night and catch up on our visiting.  These photo's are from this visit and previous ones when the weather was beautiful.

One evening we had a fabulous time at Bin 27 Bistro in Hyde Park.  It's a beautiful modern restaurant with wonderful service.  We chose to order from the Tasting Tuesday menu which included a wine pairing with every course that was perfectly matched to complement each dish.  The Lemongrass-Chili Butternut Squash Soup was amazing as was the Chocolate Expresso Tres Leche Cake and the Citrus Beignets with Orange Sherbert.  The Blackened Tilefish was too blackened for our taste so the next time I'd order lightly blackened but the overall dining experience was very special and so was the company. Cheers!
