My recent trip to visiting southern California and exploring the many changes since I left 3 years ago was absolutely wonderful!
Especially having a little sleepover with my chocolate lab, Guinness.  Reconnecting with friends is priceless.  I remember watching the planning stages of Lido Island and seeing it evolve to what it is today I just love.

One of the amazing restaurants on the water in the Lido development I enjoyed lunch at was Bottle Works.

It was also wonderful to see boutiques like Sugar Paper which is their second boutique inspired by their Brentwood County Market location.  Founded by Chelsea Shukov and Jamie Grobecker, who bring their love of hand-written notes to life in their inspirational store.  It is where you will find everyday needs for that special person or your personal go-to collection of stationery.
