My Casa Bella

COME IN THE EVENING, OR COME IN THE MORNING;

COME WHEN YOU'RE LOOK'D FOR,

OR COME WITHOUT WARNING.

KISSES AND WELCOME YOU'LL FIND BEFORE YOU,

AND THE OFTENER YOU COME HERE

THE MORE I'LL ADORE YOU!

Welcome To My Casa Bella

My Casa Bella- means-my beautiful home- but it can mean so many other things. How you make your home a home. The sounds of children or pets playing. The aroma of scones in the oven or a lilac candle burning. The flowers blooming in your garden. The home grown vegetables ready to be picked. Grandma's quilt at the foot of the bed. A fire to curl up to with a good book. Or just a family spending time together with love, laughter and a good time.

Now to go onto other great
and exciting things that
I have done
this month.
My dear friend
Valerie and I took a
girls
NYC
trip.
And we saw some eye candy!
We went to
and it was
beautiful!


Here's their Mascot
And the wall of Yarn
The ladies at Lion Brand were so nice
and allowed us to
take pictures of their lovely store
After that we hopped on the Subway
and headed to Union Square
not realizing what was
in store for us when
we came up
from the subway station


and scones the size of a softball
we had to split
a pumpkin scone and was it
delicious!

and there were tent, after
tent, after tent of
crafts, herbs, spices,
teas, handmade items,
baked goods,
things from
other countries, it was overwhelming
and so much fun!
But we were
on our way to this wonderful
place
It was beautiful when we walked
in.
I love the details of the building
inside






The workers in here were also
so helpful and kind,
we spent quite
a bit of time in here,
taking it all in.
Then on our way back to the subway
we were ready to cross
the street and
Valerie looked over and
spotted this
amazing,
colorful,
large,
a crafters paradise



Do you see the beautiful
pink tassels?
They had these I think in
every color
out there!
So yes, we had a blast.
I've lived in NYC, born and raised
and have never
been to these
shops.
How sad, I know, I hear you
crafters out there!
But now that I know where they
are at
I will be back!
Hope you enjoyed the tour,
don't forget to go to
my Giveaway Post!
