i simply love some of the classic old phoenix places that have stood firm over many years of change. El Charro lodge is such a place; a charming outdoor weekend brunch spot that will help you escape into vacation mode for just a bit. go for their famous sticky buns; they are killer! you may never want to leave with the gorgeous views and this perfect weather we are reveling in right now.

Lots of one of a kind jewels will be making their way into the shop soon. we are very excited to share them with you. expect new treasure in about a week. hope you had a lovely long weekend and enjoyed the gorgeous weather!

when things begin to warm up, its always a good idea to spend some quality time outside doing garden therapy. we recently filled a gorgeous french planter outside our front doors with whites and greens. so very cheerful. this has gotten us into the gardening spirit and inspired us to plant at home as well. flowers, veggies and more. we can’t get enough. what are some of your favorite outdoor pass times to soak up that spring air?
