Rooms and Gardens



My hubby and I took a drive up the coast to Santa Barbara on Sunday... 


 It was gorgeous and we had a wonderful time..



We stopped and had lunch at a cute cafe that my husband stops at when he goes biking in S.B. ....

 We also visited Rooms and Gardens...


One of my favorite stores..... 





I love the style of this store....
it has a casual laid back feel...
They use a lot of natural woods, black and wicker pieces.











I'm a sucker for American flags..












They displayed wicker trays of all sizes....
and used shells and coral as art objects..











 I love blue and white ginger jars...
 which most of you know by now!

































I'm going to cover a couple of my lamp shades with fabric like this one...
Its pretty easy...
the hard part is finding the time! 






How do you like my images?

I'm learning how to use a new camera... 
They're a little dark and I need a bit more practice...

My hubby gave me some clues on how to hold the camera still so when I push the shutter button it is nice and sharp....


OK, I know that sounds a little blonde...
but my pictures were so blurry......


He told me to hold my arm (that was holding the camera) next to my side almost as if my elbow was being held up by my waist....pull the camera to my eye and press the shutter slowly...

and it worked...try it!
