I returned last night from Mexico. Had to phone my husband so that he could come and help me get up our icy hill. While we (my daughter and grandson) were lounging in sun and heat on the Mayan Riviera, we missed our first major winter storm. And I am sorry in a way. I do love watching snow, especially if I have nowhere to go.
The resort, called Dreams Riviera was lovely….spotless, with a number of pools, many restaurants and with an exceptional staff and exceptional service. We enjoyed our time there very much. The food was not superb but good enough and there was lots of variety. And of course endless drinks, from mimosas to summer time drinks like pina coladas, margeritas….you get the picture. The rooms we had were probably the best that I have ever been in. Spacious, with plunge pools just at the sliding door, lounges and very clean.
And now it is back to the cold, ice and the getting ready for my Spring Open House on March 1 & 2. The invitation cards have gone out today, again designed by my son-in-law and beautifully so. The piece on the front is a bracelet (shown above) 
of amber sterling silver and vintage ribbed metal. The amber and vintage metal are from Beads of Colour in Dundas. Debbie, the owner, always finds exceptional goods. I understand that she has just returned from the huge gem and bead show in Tucson. Can’t wait to find out what she picked out.
My website probably won’t be updated til April. I have 36 new images done by Greg Fess in Waterloo. Excellent as usual. I will post some here just to give you an idea of what to expect.
