Flora is 100!

On our summer trip to Napa in August, we visited the most perfect vineyard, Flora Springs.  We were treated to a private tour of the vineyard, a dinner under the terrace and a dreamy wine guide who was kindly filling our glasses with both old and new wines from Flora's vines.  C and I had been waiting for a vineyard that we both equally loved to become a member of their wine club.  Flora Springs was it - she made us swoon.

We LOVE our Flora Springs wine club.  Every two months, we are sent two bottles of their wine and can get great discounts on reordering (which of course we haven't done yet...rats!).  The matriarch of the vineyard, Flora, just spent her 100th birthday clinking glasses in Napa.  In honor of her birthday, their most recent bottle of Sauvignon Blanc (her favorite) was shipped our way.

Just look at this bottle - gorgeous.


Does anyone have a full proof way to get this label off without destroying it so I can frame it and keep it forever?? :)

You can find Flora Springs in specialty wine shops.  If you ever see it, please pick up a bottle, slice into some cheese and crackers, put on your slippers, cut on the fire, and enjoy.

Eliza Jane Giveaway!


I am simply in LOVE with these gorgeous custom maps from Eliza Jane!  




How amazing would one of these maps be in a simple white frame? I would love one of my hometown, especially as C and I are about to pack up the moving boxes in a few months (gulp!).  A reminder of the place we both call home and of the city where we shared our beautiful wedding day would always bring one of those ear to ear smiles :)

Excited to be linking up with Jamie from This Kind of Love today!!  So very much to be thankful for this week :)


1. I'm loving that yesterday was my birthday! I felt showered with love and birthday wishes all day.  I have a feeling 28 is going to be one to remember!


2. I'm loving that my homemade gift has been made! Our family makes gifts for one person and it's kept a secret all year until the big reveal on Christmas Eve.  The gift is still a mystery....
