<\/p>\n 1 VERTICAL GARDENING? Yep, I am sure like me you are wondering what the heck that is. My son has a friend who has started doing this, it started out as a hobby and how he is considering it as a full time business (leaving finance). It apparently has several advantages over traditional horizontal gardening and is built around “green walls” as the foundation.<\/p>\n Then I heard on the business radio that this is a huge burgeoning industry. Fascinating, I had to look into it. They are taking old warehouses and turning them into modern makeshift greenhouses, this is the future people! There are countless articles but here is a basic intro to what it is all about over at Better Homes and Gardens in case you are interested, click here.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. DINING\u00a0 UNDER THE LEMONS!! I have never been to Capri, but am dying to. A friend is there now and sent me a picture of her dining under the lemons at Da Paolino…I am obsessed about going and this restaurant has been on my bucket list for a while. She said its even more magical in person, if she wasn’t so sweet I would have to hate her:)<\/p>\n I did some research and I apologize ahead of time for inducing an uncontrollable urge\u00a0 to book a trip to Capri (and at the very least crave their beautiful food)…..yum!!

MY DINING ROOM PROFESSIONALLY SHOT.\u00a0 Just when I think I am a fairly decent photographer I have some pictures professionally shot and then realize just how far I have to go:)<\/p>\n Paul Montgomery had my dining room shot for an ad (mostly close ups), I loved the pictures, just breathtaking! Worth sharing with you today a few of them-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4 INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST Love what I chose this week, so\u00a0 much inspiration. It gets my wheels turning to decorate, cook, travel and seize the most out of every day!<\/p>\n 5. THE FABULOUS RITZ PARIS IS OPEN! This is as good as everyone was hoping, maybe even better! The much anticipated opening has happened and it looks incredible.<\/p>\n I am so happy they stayed true to that old world elegant French style that takes you back to a more glamorous time instead of succumbing to the more modern interiors that are abound in so many of the high end hotels today. Bravo to the Ritz….now need to figure out when\/how to get there:) Click here for info<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n 6. A FABULOUS SALAD I am always looking for great new low calorie meal ideas, and will be doing a post on that in the upcoming weeks. I have been a really good girl these last few months and have gone down a full dress size, woo hoo!<\/p>\n I have been eating a lot of salads and protein…variety is the spice of life so I am always looking for new and interesting variations. This salad is absolutely delicious and I only add grilled chicken to it to create an actual meal, Southwestern salads are one of my faves. Click over<\/em><\/a> to the Garden Grazer for the full recipe.<\/p>\n 7.\u00a0 SUMMER READING. Settling down with a great book is one of my all time favorites things to do. The problem is that in the last few years I have read less than I ever have and I so miss it. I managed to read a few books in the last few months but you have to remember I used to be a voracious reader and then this thing called blogging came along:)<\/p>\n So one of my big “to do’s” this summer is to read at least 4 books. I have curated my list, all fun beach reads, nothing too serious so this is what I have on my goals list….a few just ordered and ready to begin some beach reading next week!<\/p>\n So there you have seven things on my mind this week. How about you<\/em>? What is new on your end? Thank\u00a0 you for stopping by and sharing your Sunday with me.<\/p>\n I hope you have a wonderful day and great end to your week. Summer is really here and it’s hard to believe July 4th is just around the corner, seize every day, summer is the best! Until next time….<\/p>\n PS As we are\u00a0 a little behind processing silver order requests I have decided to extend the promo offer until 1pm today, so it’s not too late!
