What I like...Ribboned Mirrors

While browsing Poppy Talk I saw these one-of-a-kind mirrors created by Ashley Rush of Rowan's Room. Each one is lovingly handcrafted from an antique cabinet door (which makes this an eco-friendly item). Most of these doors are over 100 years old, and they reflect those years through their unique beauty.

Here's an idea of how to display these unique mirrors.

Title: Pretty Pink Ribbon

Band: Cake
Album: Comfort Eagle
Song: Pretty Pink Ribbon
Lyrics: Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd float down to the sea

Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd say just what you pleased
Without the sticky little kitten
Your ticket could never be free

Without your tight little denim
Your virtues would all go unknown
Without the room that you live in
Your cancer would eat through the bone

Your muscles would bulge underground
Your demons would all be around
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me

Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd burn all these dying leaves

Without the pretty pink ribbon
You would lift this steaming herd
You would kill all the sick ones
You would bury them deep in the earth

Without the tight little denim
Your virtues would all go unknown
Without the room that you live in
Your cancer would eat through the bone

Your muscles would bulge underground
Your demons would all be around
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me

Jet Setter: Big Sur

Sorry I haven't blogged lately.  I spent a few glorious days in magical Big Sur, California. Nature and romance at its best!  I had originally planned to get married in Big Sur, so it was appropriate for my husband and I to spend our 7 year wedding anniversary there.  

Big Sur has some of the most breathtaking coastline vistas in the world.  It's the perfect place for a wedding, honeymoon or a romantic getaway.  From luxury resorts to rustic cabins, there is something for everyone.  Picnics at the beach, hiking through giant redwoods to spectacular waterfalls, then relaxing at a spa - all in one day!

The ultimate in luxury is the Post Ranch Inn.  The rooms, the restaurant, the spa...ahh, total bliss.  Ventana Inn is another amazing option.  It's also a great place to hold your wedding. 

For a quaint cabin in the woods, budget-friendly Deetjen's Big Sur Inn is the place.  Deetjen's has one of the best restaurants in Big Sur.  But my favorite restaurant is the Big Sur Bakery, which has the best filet and is all organic! 

Deetjen Big Sur Inn

Things to do in Big Sur:

1. Hiking in the Ventana Wilderness

2. Picnic at Pfeiffer State Beach

3. Soak in the hot tubs at Esalen.  Clothing optional.

4. Drink wine while watching the sunset at Nepenthe Restaurant (Wedding Spot)

5.  Visit the Henry Miller Library (Wedding Spot)

Hot Tub at Esalen

What to Wear:  The temperatures in Big Sur range from foggy mornings to sunny afternoons, so think layers.  One of my favorite lines is Nau.  "An outdoor apparel company turning out designs strong enough for the backwoods and stylish enough for the urban jungle".

Where to Buy: Nau
