Keukenhof Gardens
One of the most beautiful gardens that I have ever had the opportunity to visit was the Keukenhof Gardens in Holland. The garden is currently celebrating its 60th anniversary.

A Love Story Set in Stone

Olive Annies
This is Olive Annies. It is an adorable shop located in the historic Coronado district of downtown Phoenix. The owner, (or "the finder" as she calls herself) Lani Griffin, spent 9 months renovating this quaint, adorable teeny, bungalow. Olive Annies She is one crafty queen.
