Adventures in Philadelphia.....

Not a lot of traveling during my trip to Philadelphia to spend Christmas with the BF but I have done some interesting things. I finally made it to Geno's Steaks one evening for a true Philadelphia cheese steak sandwich. I was less than impressed and I know I've had a better sandwich in good ole Tampa.

Day out to explore.....

The Shops at Wiregrass

On Thursday my friend, Paddy, and I did a little traveling up to the new Shops of Wiregrass in Wesley Chapel. It's an outdoor mall concept. It was a beautiful afternoon but we said that we could not see ourselves shopping there during the hot days of Florida summer. We ate lunch at the Cantina Laredo that describes their cuisine as "Gourmet Mexican". It was all very good. We decided that the fact that they put the rice on one plate, the beans on another plate, and the tamales on a third plate is what means it's "gourmet" and allows them to charge $4 more for an entree than good ole Miguel's in Tampa. It's always fun to try someplace new.

A Chilly and relaxing Sunday.....

It seems like Sundays are my days to post on my blog......I've been busy handcrafting new key rings to put up on my website. Here are a few of the new Cherry designs that I have there. They Retail for $10.00 each and measures about 5 1/2 inches log. I'll be posting the Strawberry designs on Etsy.com.

Another beautiful Sunday.......

I just love Sundays! A cold wave has come through Tampa, again, so the weather was just perfect for firing up my torch and working on some beads out in the garage this afternoon. It was so much fun working with my glass, again.
I came inside around 5 p.m. to find a message on my answering machine from my neighbor Paddy. Her son, Jason, was making Chicken Alfredo with garlic toast. Yum! They were so gracious and invited me over for dinner. Lucky me! This was the homemade, artery clogging stuff that was oh so delicious with some white wine to drink. It's always nice to share a meal with friends.

A week later......

New keyring charms arrived this morning....I'll have pink martini's, pink flip flops, more flowers, more cherries, new strawberries, fish and hearts. I'll put some up on Etsy and I'll need to redo the keyring page on my website. Hopefully, I'll have it done over the weekend. Check back!
