California sunshine

there is nothing like California for there gorgeous sunshine!  Although during my 10 stay there last week I did get a taste of their big storm.  I kinda felt bad for laughing at all the times they said tornatic weather.  coming from Utah and all our snow it seemed a little mild but to them 70 and sunny all year it was news!!

That didn’t stop us from shopping and playing, and lets face it two days of partly cloudy  and a little rain did nothing to dampen my spirit of being away to a place were everything was green and smelling lovely.  Ok lets get started with my fabulous finds.

This is one of my most favorite stores in New Port Beach.  Rodgers is the name and Flowers and beautiful nick knacks are there game!!  I could easily spend thousand of dollars in under and hour there but alas I was flying and lets face it who am I to fly home with a gigantic piece of coal on my lap. LOL  So my mom who drove got to buy all the good stuff.  she purchased these gorgeous vase I’m so dying over!

I always buy a beautiful shell for my collection and it was so had to choose one this year, but I did don’t worry.

There Easter stuff was up all over the store these velvet bunnies were just a little pricey  so I bought a darling faux foil wrapped bunny. Its so darling.

Love love love these planters!! my designer friend Ashley got me hooked on succulents and I so wanted to get one of these home.  However they weighed a ton and were 98$ for the small yikes.

Could you die I’ve been on the look out for vintage sign holders for a few years now, with no luck these were new and are darling but on the small side.

this is a must for our Easter dinner table I’m going to have to restock my German glass glitter.

 

 

and lets just say we ate our weight in cupcakes while we were there.  Loved Casey’s coconut and  Sweet and Saucys Smores and toffee were divine!!

I love cook books and every were I go I try to pick up one or two I seriously couldn’t decide so I just closed my eyes and picked one  Desserts here we come!

Ok sounds weird but I totally want my husband to bring home a gold fish like this from one of his deep sea fishing trips!  this was huge on a tile wall in Bear flag (my favorite tuna pokie ever store)

Sweet and Saucy’s photo wall was so cute just loved the gold frames and all that food made me buy more of their yummies to try.

 

 

Ok this is as close as I will come to heaven on earth!  I love the container store they have everything you could dream of to contain what you need except my excitement at being there!  I hear we are getting one in SLC soon  Yeah!!!! times a thousand.

 

 

At the store A beautiful affair they had a ton of coral art and sea shells I wanted one of everything but again the plane thing.

Now for a fun delightful spot.  Bliss I love how they display all there wears.  they have everything you could imagine for a modern beach cottage. I think I heard angels singing in there too.

 

 

 

Good bey Cali you will stay in my heart and I will drift off to sleep looking at the little photo by my bed to remember our days in the sun.
