Up to my Elbows in...

Blue Elephants

Lots and lots of blue ELEPHANTS.

This picture makes me smile.

I love the little elephants with their legs in the air.

I bought a bunch of these elephants at Michael's

in the dollar section.

We are having a BABY shower this weekend

and the theme is, can you guess?

ELEPHANTS

and this ORANGE one will be the 

CAKE topper.

I found him at an Estate sale for a dollar.

I am undecided about the orange. 

 I might change my mind and paint him RED.

Presentation is Everything

Would you look at this lovely package I received in the mail?

I ordered a dress from Jenny Oliver Designs and

all of this was in the package.

I love my little flower pins.

And yes,

I LOVE the DRESS.

I might just hang it on the wall,

ITS that BEAUTIFUL...

Lindsey,

The Padre Hotel

This hotel is located in Bakersfield, California.

  

I was fascinated with all the details that went into 

designing this hotel when they renovated it.

Bakersfield is full of oil fields, hence the reference to the oil rig on the wall paper.

For some reason, it reminded me of the movie, "There will be Blood".

I thought this little detail was clever.

We saw a lot of these hanging on the doors.

This is what greeted us when we stepped off the elevator

to our room.  Each floor has a different mural.

Clever room markers.

This is the reason we saw so many "Whoa" signs on the doors.

The beds were dreamy. 

You didn't want to leave them.

Except to take a shower in the walk in shower/steam room.

Another wall mural in the lobby.

Eat.Sleep.Drink

is the corporation that renovated this hotel.

They also have hotels that they have renovated in San Diego.

I will definitely be staying there when I am in that area.

I could go on and on about this hotel.

My weekend was delightful.

Thank you Padre Hotel.
