All the bright precious things fade so fast... And they don't come back

                                                           The Great Gatsby

I watched the Great Gatsby last night and fell in love with the story and the lush and opulent cinematography, the 1920's costume design with jewels and feathers. And the quotes. So many beautiful quotes. The one on top was my particular favorite

Tea Party

Soon Spring will be arriving (and warm weather has arrived to some of us) and springtime is the perfect time to have a tea party. Flowers, tea and delicate charming detailing - what's not to love?

Casino Night

Going to the Casino Saturday night for my friend's birthday, and was inspired to dedicate a post to the lovely images of the casino - the retro black and white photographs, the excitement of winning, the fun atmosphere, the upscale bars and restaurants and ideas for your own casino party.

Welcome...

I've been bouncing this idea to start a blog of the places I've gone for awhile now. I am originally from Connecticut and moved to Mississippi and recently just moved back up north. I've always loved traveling, of finding places that I never been and enjoying the beauty of nature. I wanted a blog to be about celebrating life - of traveling: finding those secret hidden spots flower gardens and sunset drenched private beaches, of holidays and decorating, fashion and art and design, of music and family and friends.

Welcome and Enjoy <3
