Happy Thoughts~~Happy Things~~Happy Times~~My Happy Place

This week worked me over....so much red tape on so many different levels....too much bad news....too much paperwork and challenges and not enough patience ...missing my bubbie....so I tried really hard to focus on my many blessings...my Happy Thoughts...my Happy Things...my Happy Times...my Happy Place

My boys decided that they would do some out door sketching in our canyon on a bright sunshiny day....

I don't see anything inspiring in this view except my sweet boys.....

 One of the boys across the street had a birthday and his mom put out all these adorable penguins to celebrate him....so cute....

 My lovely friend Hillary has a very English Tea every year and Kristen and I are so fortunate to be invited....it is one of my most favorite things to do and she is one of my most favorite ladies...she is currently making over 100+ hats for the Tijuana orphanage!

 These are two of her precious grandbabies who came to the tea....of course the little lady was awake and interested in all the girl talk....and the little man slept thru all the hen party...they learn at such a young age....

 The beautiful English Garden tablescape....

 It makes you happy just to see it.....

 Dylan, Brody and I are plotting for the Leprechauns ..they are such tricksters and reek havoc the night before St. Patrick's Day trying to score some gold from GiGi!  We decided to paint Blarney Stones and put glitter on them to trick them into thinking we had special gold....

 I love how they take this so serious and really get into the spirit of things!  Wait until they see what the Leprechaun is planning for this year!

 I needed a trip to my fave store in OB....I needed to soak in beauty of all kinds....I know I could move in this store and never want for anything....(anything beautiful that is).....Vintage dressing room.....sigh.....

 Vintage gowns and frillies.....swoon......

 Vintage pink silk dressing chair and parasols.....I feel faint....

 Good thing they have a vintage fainting couch in stock....I needed it!

 Love the NEST pillows and the bed canopy.....can you hear the angels sing?

 more and more....

 ...and more...

 Indulge me....and more....love the harp backed chair (be still my heart)

 Tried a new day spa for a mani pedi....since we got hardwood floors I feel my feet and heels turned into like those of a LA Crack Whore....but not now! Love how she made my footsies all soft and pretty!

 And lunch at my fave spot in OB....surf was up, sun was out, blessings were counted!

So So much to be thankful for!
