Turns out it was a perfect afternoon for the ice cream social at the governor's mansion!

Self portrait from parade day!

But who can say no to a taco-n-pizza handbag!

She's a "go getter" wanting to make pants (I talked her into a skirt) and pants (I talked her into a skirt). After all, i can only do so much with rolls of foam and hot glue!

The Art Buddies parade is Thursday... Abigail's costume is looking great!

Color watch: The Laura Mercier tones for spring! Thank you ladies for a fun evening and a special thanks to Neimans!

Our Neimans Experience!

Talk about haute!

A close up of Flocksy Ladies... Raising money for the MN Orchestra.

At our WAMSO table!

Is it really working?!?

The sun is OUT, but it's still a little chilly. So here's a hearty helping of a few more tropical photos from Old San Juan. We might be onto something here...






Sure, MN has its perks, but one of them is not VIVID COLOR in architecture...
Or age-old tile mosaics... I liked the way the stranger in the shirt beyond coordinated with the detail...

Shades of beige? No way?

Scale and proportion! Get a load of the doors and the GREEN lantern (I guess it's all relative compared to my pint sized friend, Amy B, graphic designer extraordinaire...)

I'm not an incense fan, but the color of this display certainly caught my eye...
During our explorations strolled through a little square and I found these two ladies engrossed in a Spanish conversation I couldn't comprehend... How cute are they?!?
They undoubtedly made me think someday that will be me and my pal... A little older and slightly more wrinkled... Ah well, get out there and enjoy that SUN!

Sunny Inspiration...

I'm such a Minnesotan... talkin', talkin', talkin' about the weather... I've decided to post a warm-weather-inspirational-photo from my sunny Puerto Rican getaway everyday until MN Mother Nature decides to play fair...

Today, my favorite photo from the trip. I may have actually used my SLR camera to it's full potential this time... More tomorrow!
