Last week I had the pleasure of spending a few days in Greenwich. I forced my mom to meet me against her will. She loves her new home in Winter Park, FL and will probably never leave again. She was freezing the entire weekend and our hotel didn't have diet coke... a major travesty.
Here are some highlights from the trip:
First, we drove around in our rental in search of beautiful homes, (my favorite thing to do) and we were not disappointed.
My good friend Ann (yes, the one with the inspired home) lived in 3 homes in Greenwich and we had the addresses plugged in our magical navigation unit.... Oh how I love those things. This was the ticket to finding beautiful homes in lovely neighborhoods...
This was Ann's last home in Greenwich... SO beautiful! I wasn't able to get a good shot of the first two due to gates and possible homeowners in the front yard... too embarrassing!
Next, Eddie Ross was as charming as expected, and the Pop-up Shop event was fantastic. Love the pink sugar rims...
The best part of the day was meeting two of my favorite bloggers!
Pretty Pink Tulips and Hamptontoes
Here's what I brought home.
A glass container for forks and such,
a charming gold rubbed bowl,
a silver leaf tray,
and this glass bowl... I loved the rim - look at the shadow!
After Eddie Ross, we continued our shopping experience.
Charming store fronts abound...
Home stores are aplenty...
This flower shop was amazing...
Check out this chandelier!
Our hotel, despite the lack of diet coke (nearly a deal-breaker) did have some charm to offer...
The location was primo... right down the street from Greenwich Avenue and on the water with a beautiful view. We walked to a charming restaurant for dinner both nights, and I had the most delicious halibut I think I've ever had.
The best part was spending time with my mom. Despite the diet coke situation, I know she loved being with me too. After all, I am her favorite daughter! (I'm sure both my brothers would agree...)
