SPRING HAS SPRUNG!
What do you think of on the first day of spring?

beautiful new blossoms....
darling baby sheep....
or wine tasting???
We had company come to the Central Coast visiting from San Francisco, so we did a little wine tasting. These pictures are from my favorite winery, Tobin James.  If you haven't had any of there wine, it is sooooo tasty.  I especially love their reds.  And look at the beautiful rock and mosaic work, truly artistic.  
And, I hit a quaint antique show here on the Central Coast, and splurged big time.  Look for cuff bracelet pictures coming to my blog.  Aren't these gorgeous?  I have to work up the nerve to cut into them.  One of them had initials and the date 1900 engraved.  It is so amazing to hold a solid silver napkin ring in your hand that is almost 110 years old, wow.  What a story it could tell.  My favorite is the one with initials "G.E.M."  I might have to keep that one, since I do love gems!!

I love the liquor bottle tags, they are so decorative.  I'm visualizing some fun necklaces!  I don't know, would you wear "GIN" on your chest? I would if it's that pretty!!
Thanks for looking.  
Happy Spring.
