It is HOT here in Phoenix! The car thermometer said 122 (it was 57 when I left Buffalo this morning.!) The heat didn't prevent Peggy and I from doing some shopping though... our adventure today centered in Downtown Mesa.
First stop... Mystic Paper! I love the mixture of old and new at this store... there are bowls of game pieces and cards and lots of vintage ephemera... really cool stuff! I love that the pictures that decorate the walls are really the owner's relatives!
Our next stop was Beth Quinn's studio. I've admired her jewelry creations online, so it was really fun to see them in person and do a lot of drooling. She had some really great vintage findings and I got a darling little china doll head. It was so nice to meet Beth too!
Our last stop for the day was Domestic Bliss... one of my favorite stores! They've opened a second store with their furniture but they weren't open so we'll have to go back to Found. We found plenty to admire in Domestic Bliss though!
I got a lovely Jill Schwartz necklace and a sweet pillow... (check back - I'll add a picture of them.)
Time to head to our home for the next few days... the Wild Horse Pass Resort. I just love this place! It is gorgeous and in the most serene setting.
Tomorrow... more shopping!
looks like a perfect first day!

Haven't checked out Domestic Bliss so will have to do so. here I live in the Phoenix area and you are always telling me about new places to try. You are right about Wild Horse Pass Resort. Loved being there for CE the last time you taught. Wish I could be there this time but at least I will get to see you on Sunday at Scrap Happy Sisters. Have a great time at CE.
