PRETTY LAZY SUNDAY

It is Sunday, time to be lazy again, I don't know about you, but I find that looking at a beautiful bedroom brings serenity, a couple of books a bouquet of flowers are inspiring, I might consider meditation and a bit of exercise... I have to run my phone is ringing.....I will keep you posted...

ADD A LITTLE COLOR IN YOUR BATHROOM

I was very excited to discover that Cottonelle is working with the colorful Designer Jonathan Adler, the result
is fantastic, for very little money you can add color in your bathroom and a Designer's toilet paper roll cover...

Order for $2.00 per roll cover (plus $1.99 USD/$2.25 CND for shipping and handling = $3.99 USD/$4.25 CND per roll cover).https://www.cottonelle.com/respect-the-roll/Order-A-Roll-Cover

*Kleenex should work with Jonathan Adler, they have the most boring boxes, everytime I buy a box, I say to myself why Oh why are they so ugly.  


This is Jonathan Adler, he has a boutique in New York, you can also find some of his  Design in Montreal at a charming boutique www.ludovik.ca/

DECOGIRLMONTREAL'S RUN AWAY TO FLORIDA


It started like this, I got a phone call from my friends in Florida and they invited me to spend a few days with them....I looked out the window and this is what I saw...


I don't have to tell you that I had a Revelation....
I got a West Jet flight with my Visa points and flew for a change of view...

 
This is what happened in a land far far away....

The weather was  80 to 85 degrees F, I thought I would share with you a bit of my sunny days.  It was a short visit, so don't expect a grand tour but I will show you  just a few places I really liked that you might also enjoy.

On the Canal daytime....Lauderdale by the Sea...
View from my friends's screenporch, so peaceful and relaxing...
My first day...I had to unpack my one month supply of clothes for 5 days..I don't know why I always pack for one month if I go away for a year or for 5 days my suitcase looks the same, I think the problem is to have to choose all these summer clothes in the middle of winter....

Dinner in the screen porch....



Day 2

Going to South Beach for the day, 
Visiting downtown Miami  en passant by car, I had not been there for a long time, it is quite a beautiful City now...

Twisting my head around 180 degrees to get this photo, I looked a bit  like Linda Blair in the movie
''The Exorcist''  veeeery scaaaaary....

A fantastic idea....
The Children's Museum Miami...Great cheerful building designed by the firm Arquitectonica International... The Museum is located on Watson Island, 980 MacArthur Causeway Miami...Plan your visit...

Arriving in South Beach, we parked the car and went directly to the famous
 Italian restaurant/Hotel Casa Tua  (Your Home) located in a Beautiful old home at 1700 James street Miami Beach


The gate at Casa Tua, so romantic....



The Casa Tua restaurant dining room The Library with the long banquette....Absolutely delicious, warm and charming...

South Beach Smith & Wollensky, if you want to eat on a table by the sea, it is a great location right in front of Fisher Island, I flipped the photo a bit....I think it was taken crooked to start with, so I might as well go all the way.....sorry http://www.centsationalgirl.com/, if you are interested you can get great advice on photo enhancing on her blog...

Yours truly at The Breakers...One advice when you go for a visit and not a stay at The Breakers, there is a long driveway with a guard, he will ask you this question ''What will you be doing at The Breakers'' and the answer is ''We are meeting some friends for a drink''....We did have a drink....
